Mego Returns to Target

[TRDouble]

I did see the Salt Vampire yesterday too; I forgot. Anything I pick up is for parts or experimentation, since I have everything I want from BBTS. But it's fun seeing them trickle in and I would definitely like to get my hands on cheaper extras of The Flash and Green Lantern.

Today at my nearby Target I saw Scotty, Igor, Dr. Zaius, Wolf Man, and too many Stan Lees. Scotty looks great!

Went to a second Target today (Atlanta) and found all of the above, and also Dr. McCoy and Son of Frankenstein. Also at this store--way too many Stan Lees. I want the Salt Vampire and Capt Pike.

I'm going later today to a Target in Clackamas next to Portland. Hopefully I see some new Mego that I don't have.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Thanks! I got a Stan Lee figure, and left two Stan Lee and two Salt Vampire figures. I already had both of them, but figured another Stan couldn't hurt. I'll customize him somehow.

I went to the Sherwood Target today (Portland suburb) . They had 2 x Zaius, 2 x McCoy, 2 x Stan Lee and a Leatherface. I got a Zaius, McCoy, Stan Lee and Leatherface. I also picked up Bob Ross for fun.

Dr. McCoy (short sleeve)
Rocketeer

Elgin IL Target had 1 each of Salt Vampire, Igor and Dr. McCoy. I bought Salty and Igor. I already bought McCoy. (Do you think Dr. McCoy's pale skin is possibly because he was attacked by the Salt Vampire and had some of his salt sucked out of him???)

South Barrington IL Target had 1 each of Rocketeer, Salt Vampire, Dr. Zaius and Scotty. I already bought Scotty and had just picked up Salty. I've no interest in Rocketeer. I left Zaius, though maybe I should have bought him. I have my original Dr. Zaius, though he can't be posed. He broke when I was a kid and my sister put him back together. He's loose, but can stand up.

Both of these stores had actual Mego-tagged pegs.

Just going to throw this in here real fast. Elgin IL Meijers. Two Wonder Woman, Two Superman and... THIRTEEN Hannibal (original).

13 !

I mean, how does that even happen? Well, who knows? Maybe I missed it when they had 13 of the Headless Horseman and they all sold out in one day flat.

Sadly all my local Targets just drug out their stacks of old Tootie figures again. It's embarrassing.

They tried to clearance them out for over a year, then finally just removed them from the shelves, only to get a new "Mego section" and fill it full of those figures now at $14.99.... Blargh.

My local Target had a solid peg of new Stan Lee figures with a tag designated for them. There was also a solid peg of Wolfman figures but I didn’t notice the peg label. Laying on the shelf were two Igors and one each of Zaius and The Rocketeer. All the figures laying on the shelf had card damage to one degree or another. I bought the Zaius.

At least you guys are finding something, my local Target has nothing and haven’t had any mego’s for a long time, I even asked a salesperson and they had no clue what I was talking about, so another salesperson checked and told me nothing was coming up at this location for mego action figures.

Today - or rather yesterday at this point - I checked out Walmart, Meijer and Target in Rockford IL. No Mego anywhere.

That is all.

Hillsboro, Oregon Target had two Kris Monroe figures, and that was it. I didn't bother to check the price.

I was in a different Target yesterday and saw two solid pegs of Stan Lee. Strewn about the collectibles section was one each of Scotty, McCoy, Zaius and Wolfman. The Trek figures had the traditional blue accessories.

Been seeing a bunch at the various Cleveland area Targets. Picked up a Leatherface at one of them.
