    A couple of weeks ago. I went to the Target in Whitehall and got Stan, Dr Zaius, Leatherface and the Rocketeer.
    I went this morning and they had about 3 or 4 each of Leatherface and Dr Zaius. They had a lot of Stan Lee's. At least 8. He is either case heavy or he comes in his own case.
    When I search mego on Target's website all the new Megos say available in stores except Stan. He actually says available at Target in Whitehall. That makes me lean toward the idea he has his own case.
    I don't know for sure but does anyone know anything about that?

      Pretty sure he was his own case.

        Earlier this week, went back to the same Target that had a bunch of these a couple of weeks ago, and they were all sold-out except for the Stan Lees. Plus, they had now received Rocketeer. So looks like these are moving. Meantime, I still see the same Picards and that alien from Star Trek Discovery not moving at Walmart (been there 2+ months).

            Mall 205 Portland had one Dr. Zaius and one Rocketeer today. I was hoping they had Stan Lee...

              So it's now September. Target has apparently given up on Mego once again. The Target stores nearest me have nothing and have had nothing Mego through the entire summer. The website for Target currently lists only 1 result for Mego and that's the original version of Stan Lee.

              So basically, I'm just wondering if any of the experts here on this site know what the Target situation is. More Mego eventually? Towards Christmas time? Or is Target done with it. I can't understand how Target could stock Mego again last April/May, let it all sell-out, then not bother ordering any more. Does the Topps agreement have something to do with it?

              And what about Walmart? Back in April I posted about the Crystal Lake Illinois Walmart restocking the original Hannibals, Picard and the Discovery character. The four Hannibals are still there, with 1 Picard left and three of the Discovery character. It's now September, they've been hanging there since April. Never stocked any other Mego the entire summer. (Unless I completely missed new merch, but I'm in this store at least once a week.)

              Anywho... Experts?

                ^I mean, supply chain issues are affecting everything. There’s port congestion, rising freight charges, and still a global pandemic happening. Things will probably get worse from here.
                Expectation is the death of discovery.

                  But there's an online company that is constantly stocking and re-stocking Mego. Problem with that site though, is the prices are high and the shipping really adds up.

                  I actually was in a Walmart in Aurora Illinois on Sept. 4th and found Q and Locutus. They had 2 of each. Also had two Teenage Werewolves and 3 of that weird, red Phantom of the Opera. Also had 3 Lord of the Rings figures. I did get a Q and a Locutus. Perhaps it's just the Walmarts and Targets close to home that aren't bothering.

                    My Walmart has been consistently supplied with Mego. I order online so it’s not important to me.

                    I don’t think anyone would blame you for moving.
