    Excellent! Thanks for the leg work

      Sadly all the Walmarts in my vicinity didn't carry any of these. They still have stacks of the horror 2 packs. I'm really hoping we get some or atleast Green Lantern. I'm hunting for that one HARD when it comes out.

        For what it's worth 7 of my 8 figures arrived today. I know Frank is definitely trying to catch up as the figures were delayed coming from Mego. Green Arrow is still behind.

          I've bought from him before but the no return message at all is not good.

            It usually takes a week or two for everyone to get back up to full speed after the Holidaze. We also had that cyclone bomb that hit a good portion of the country. Even down here in NE Florida, temperatures dropped into the 20s overnight.

            I keep having to remind myself of that as well since patience has never been one of my virtues. Several things I ordered last weekend aren’t scheduled to arrive until next week. Any other time of the year, most of those packages would have been here by now. I was also looking at the Mego Captain Marvel (Whiz #2) on Amazon last night, and estimated delivery was next Tuesday. “Ya call that Prime Shipping?!?”

              Had a message into Frank for a few days, but he got back to me, as always. He's currently moving facilities. I have the remaining first wave 50th Anniversary figures on the way from him after finding Superman at Walmart and cancelling my Amazon orders after I received two figures damaged.

                  Still nothing at my local Walmart after their case of 50th anniversary figures sold out before Christmas. Would really love to see the Shazam wave show up, or even a re-stock of the initial wave. Makes my heart heavy to see that empty peg for weeks

                    My local Walmart in central Cali had the boxed figures of Flash, Green Latern , Shazam and Aquaman today . I picked up 1 each and left the rest

                      I think I may have missed something but is Green Arrow still being released? I rewatched Brian’s top 2022 Mego figures video in which he says he has the whole collection but missing from his line up was GA.

                        GA is still coming. Saw something on Facebook Ambassadors about him recently. I also found the 50th boxed Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern and Shazam at Wal-Mart yesterday in Red Bank TN.

                          Yeah, Tom posted this photo on FB. So that's a good sign.

                          Canada is still a ghost town, Mego initially said January, but nope. A few dribbles on Amazon but zero retail presence here. I don't hear much from Mego these days, so I'm not sure what's up there.

                            Checked our local Wallyworld, which had gotten Wave 1 and nada. Three pegs marked for Mego, but they had random misplaced Neca stuff on them and the whole aisle looked barren, so I am not sure if they are looking at a reset, aren't stocking that aisle, or stuff is selling before it actually hits the shelves. The only Mego they had were three of the 2 packs, still at full price, but the boxes were beat all to hell, and those were lying on the bottom shelf below the pegs. half covered by stuff that had fallen off the pegs because of torn cardboard.

                            The whole collectibles section looked like a wasteland, except for an overabundance of Funko Pops, which filled their area and two additional endcaps.

                              I started regularly checking my Walmart for new figs again after some sightings trickled in a couple weeks ago, but there's been nothing. But the labeled pegs remain (as MRP noted), even though they've been empty for months, so who knows..

                                I found more of these at 2 other Walmarts in my area and picked up some extras of GL, Aquaman and Shazam. Flash has only been found the first time so he might be selling better, or understocked at these stores .Everthing so far has been in collectible areas
                                by the video games . Only 1 of the three stores actually had them on pegs and one of the stores still had wave 1 with Superman ,Batman and Robin. I was actually looking for some Mcfarlane figures when these were found
