    It is fun finally seeing some of these in the local shop. Last I looked, all the monster/horror items were gone. Still had the same two Picard and Saru from earlier stock, and now there is a pair of Q and Locutus to go with them. I guess we don't have a lot of Trekkies around here.

      I have the eMCe version of the Bride, but am strangely attracted to this green one. It hits the almost knockoff sort of vibe that makes me enjoy figures like the Horseman, glow Dracula, and the earlier version of the mummy. I do hope Megocorp continues to have quasi-original, just on the fringe of a licensed character monster figures in future waves.

          I was really excited to walk in to a lone Wolfman hanging at Target last night. Hanger was torn a little and had a bend on one corner but that just means guilt-free opening! He was the last Universal monsters i needed and was hoping to find at retail.

          The overall choice of characters and quality of them is certainly heading the right direction. I am excited again about new Megos!

            A couple of damaged package Trek figures and nine Stan Lee figures at the Clackamas Target yesterday. It was hard leaving all the Stan Lee figures behind, but I really don't need any more web hand figures.

                The red sweater is a Target exclusive. So there probably isn't as many of them.

                    Eight days later and this store has sold one Stan Lee figure and the salt vampire. I think the market around here has been tapped out. The Walmart right down the road has nothing and the other close Target has the same three Rocketeers that it had over a week ago. Nothing new coming in and not much went out.

                      In north New Jersey, Wal-mart seems to be the place to go for Mego figures... that's where I've been finding mine.

                      but will admit, if I need fodder bodies, I shop on ebay. Got both Ritchie and Woody for $15 total shipped.

                          Finally found an EXORCIST at Wally in Spring Mills WV. I laughed all the way home - a Mego EXORCIST - madness.

                            The only figures I've seen at Walmart are Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. None of the new figures have gone on clearance in Portland.

                              It would be interesting to see how these are ordered from the individual WM stores. I thought the cases with Hammer Drac also had Wonka, but our local had a batch of Mego come in a couple of months ago with Red Death, Q, Locutus, the Hammer vampire, Ultraman, and Reagan. No Wonka tho, and no reorder since then. All the monsters are gone, tho one Ultraman and one Reagan showed back up on the shelves for a week or so. Most of the Trek is still there along with the pair of Picard and Saru that have been there for quite some time.
                              I'd love to find the Bride and Franky there.

                              WM is odd about their clearance stuff as well. Our store just cleared out all the Playmobil stuff at something like 75% off. Some of that has only been on the shelf a couple of weeks. I would think that the Trek Mego stuff would have had a clearance tag on long ago if shelf life was the issue, but there is some other logic behind the ordering that would be handy to have some insight into.
