    Personally I think two new figures every week is too many. It's gonna get really expensive really quick.
    One every week or four per month would be better, especially if you're buying two of each, which I always do when I'm buying sight unseen, just in case there are any QC issues.

It's not an issue for me and I like the anticipation every week but I hope my point is made.
          I can afford it as I'm not collecting much of anything these days. I just don't have anywhere to display it all. I've already got plenty of stuff in plastic bins in my basement. I don't need to keep feeding those with new Megos every week.

            Fine for me so far, if they were doing heroes every week it would be a bigger problem. But I wont be buying all of the lines.

            Bought Shazam / Black Adam but passed on this weeks Trek figures. Will probably be mostly heroes, some monsters depending on what they do....hoping they do some good Legends or other shows/movies of interest.

              Joel answered a lot of questions about the Topps deal over on Facebook Ambassadors. It really is a way for Mego to get some more obscure / lesser known characters in our hands that probably would not be made otherwise. This is a great thing for all of us. He did say that they will be meeting with Topps about the shipping issues.

                Fingers crossed the shipping to Canada cost is addressed. Brian offered a great option for Toronto residents. Hoping Atlantic Canada sees a similar opportunity. I’ve been looking around.

                  Hope they can offer some type of combined shipping option and/or extend the availability of the preorders so they last more than one week. It was also confirmed on Facebook that the Topps exclusive figures will be packaged on the standard Mego blister packaging. The Ambassadors Facebook page also mentioned Mego is meeting with Topps next week. I suspect they will let the first four weeks of offerings to complete and look at total numbers of orders received. By doing this not only will they see how successful this exclusive format is but also what licenses are more popular and in demand. Since we got DC on first week, Trek the second week, I assume next week will be either Apes or Horror. Also hope they schedule a livestream this Saturday for a preview of the following week.

                    Yeah. Apparently my account got locked for a few ours after I clicked “add to cart” multiple times when it wouldn’t go through. The next day when I logged back in everything worked fine.

                      Has tomorrow's offerings been teased/announced? I recall someone saying in the last YT assembly that figures would be announced on Saturdays going forward.

                        I've come to the sad conclusion that I'm going to have to order these very conservatively and try to catch some of these on the secondary market. I hope members here will help as best they wish to.

                        Aquaman was mentioned I think, that's a definite buy though.

                          They said nothing on the live stream this morning. I guess we'll have to wait 'til tomorrow morning to find out.
