I read elsewhere here that people have been finding new Megos in Target again. Thought I would start this new thread to make sure the news got out there. Tonight in Chattanooga, TN Target I found two Wolf Man figures. I already got him from BBTS so I picked up one to open. On a side note they also had Super 7 Universal Monster Reaction figures. Picked up Drac for an opener.

I went to several Targets today, and this is what I found:
Homewood, AL had 2 of Scotty, 1 Igor, 1 Dr. Zaius, 3 Stan Lee, 2 Leatherface
Alabaster, AL had 3 Stan Lee
Hoover, Al had 3 Stan Lee, 2 Leatherface, 1 Igor
Some thoughts: Scotty's head sculpt is incredible, terrific likeness
Dr. Zaius' orange color really pops
Stan Lee is very well done, great likeness
Igor had a good sculpt but might look better on a smaller body
All in all, I think take two at Target is off to a good start.Comment

I ran into one of the two local Terget stores and they had two of the Wolfman in stock, marked at $17.99...
They also still had a few of the old run of stuff, Tootie from "Facts of Life", and Kelly from "Charlie's Angels... They were still priced at $12.99.Comment

I checked a couple more Targets today:
Birmingham, AL had 1 Salt Vampire, 1 Leatherface, and 10 (!!!) Stan Lee
Trussville, AL had no Mego figures
I bought the Salt Vampire and he is very well done. I'll check the last Target in my area and let you know what I find.Comment

I was going to go to Target today, but I'm having surgery on Friday and need to quarantine because I have a covid test in the morning. I probably won't be able to go for a while. They probably won't have any left by the time I get to go.Comment

The section was pretty picked over and I didn't see a spot for the Megos, they were just sitting on a shelf.Last edited by pmwasson; Apr 13, '21, 3:15 PM.Comment

The Target in Natomas, CA had 2 each of Scotty and the Rocketeer. A friend and I picked all four of them up. They were laying flat on the top shelf in their Collectibles section, pretty much out of sight. If I hadn't known to be looking for them, I'd have missed them.

I previously mentioned the Algonquin IL Target had only the two Dr. McCoy. Just on a shelf, no specific spot allocated to Mego.
Checked the Palatine IL Target. No Mego.
Today I checked the Crystal Lake IL Target. There were two of the (imo really bad) newer Wolfman. Again, just on a shelf, no specific spot for Mego.
Not Mego, but the Crystal Lake IL Target did have the "Halloween 3 - Season of the Witch" three-pack of the children in the skeleton/pumpkin/witch costumes. In the movie, these masks make for one of the most hysterically gruesome scenes I've ever seen. So I thought maybe I'd purchase this. Except - no pricing anywhere. No allocated spot for this set. There was an employee nearby and I asked him to scan it. $49.99! WHAT??!! I realize it's a three-pack, but the figures are small. You also get an extra set of the masks. Anywho... That single 3-pack is still on the shelf.Comment

Checked out the last Target in driving distance for me today.
Gardendale, AL had 2 McCoy, 1 Leatherface, and 6 Stan Lee.
McCoy has a really great sculpt! It's a shame about the factory error on his skin color.Comment
