I agree with LonnieFisher. I love and appreciate everything palitoy has contributed to the Mego community – both on here and in other forms of media – and I would hate to see him not be as heavily involved. However, I also understand where he's coming from and wish him nothing but health and happiness. As a fellow Canadian, I also understand the difficulty in locating Mego figures close to home. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do. You are the one who inspired me to renew, well into my adult years, the love affair I had with Megos as a child. Again, thank you!"I thought they didn't allow no bathin' suits in here."Comment

Hey Brian, I really appreciate all that you do and I selfishly hope you come back, but you have to put your own well being first.Comment

How is it deafening??!!?? I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. I asked that the thread be closed at the same time of Brian's first post. Even agreed with Brian later on in the post that it was a waste of energy. Nobody shut it down. I'm not and admin and can't close a thread.
I asked a simple question. It seems you can't question ANYTHING when it comes to the poor distribution of Mego figures. And God forbid you actually post something that was told directly to you by 2 Department Managers that outside vendors bringing in stock to Target. I'm not lying about that. It's a fact. That's all I got and it's basically all I am going to say anymore about anything that has to do with new Mego figures. When you can't even state facts in a post then it truly is a waste of energy / time. I got called out for somehow spreading misinformation and I responded with facts and asked if pictures were needed. Spreading misinformation is basically calling me a liar. Call me anything you want, but don't EVER call me a liar. I am straightforward with EVERYONE that I have ever interacted with either here, 20 years here on the museum, or at Mego Meet for the last 15 years.
Believe what you want to believe...but I have no reason to leave the Museum and won't anytime soon.Comment

I didn't call you a liar, I said you were misinformed. You may have been lied to, and repeating that means you are spreading misinformation. Mego doesn't have vendors that stock stores. If they did, I would be doing it here in Oregon! Mego doesn't distribute figures to individual stores. Target decides where, and what quantity, the figures get distributed to. That's just how it is. No matter what store employees tell you...Comment

I hate getting in the middle of things, but it does sound most likely that the managers were blowing you off. It’s pretty common for people to deflect. The easiest way to get people to stop asking why there aren’t anything of this product or when will this product arrive is to just blame someone else, like somebody else stocks these so I don’t know. I’ve done it myself, as has probably anyone who has spent extended time working with the public. Sometimes, you just want to politely and quickly get rid of somebody. And the quickes and surrst way to do this is to blame a third party because it’s hard to follow that up if you’re the customer.
When I first read your post, the first thing that came to my mind was this, and that was before the drama that ensued. And, yes, 2 separate managers at 2 different stores would have the same answer because they are prepared for it because, trust me, they are asked the same questions all day every day incessantlyLast edited by Goblin19; Jan 7, '22, 11:44 PM.Comment

Was a Music Department Manager for Circuit City and the old Wiz here in NY. Set up 4 stores for Circuit City. Some don't really understand how retail works these days. For at least the last 20 + years space in stores is bought and paid for by companies. They either have their own people stock those paid spaces or farm it out so to speak (Outside Vendors) That whole so called "Hot 100" that people saw at Circuit City...every spot bought and paid for by the record companies. Listening station CD's...bought and paid for by the record companies. Special sales...bought and paid for by the record companies. It's what they do. It's only been maybe the last 5 years or so that they don't have to do any of that as far as music is concerned. I was one of those Department Managers. Never once lied to a customer just to get rid of them. It's not a way to do business.Comment

when someone with direct contact with Mego tells you its not true maybe believe it and drop it instead of starting threads everywhere possible about it? I saw it at least twice on Facebook from you as well. Just think of yourself as the straw that broke the camel's back.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

Most likely the manager really doesn't know the difference between Mego and Neca and whatever else is there, and doesn't care. I can't imagine any of the toy aisles in the Targets I visit wold look the way they do if the employees or store cared at all. The managers at Toys R Us would flip out if the aisle looked that empty unless the store room was bare when I worked retail. "Can't sell empty space" the always said.Comment
