    I got Shazam today. Now all I need is Aquaman. Havnt seen him yet and my closest Walmart still havnt restocked. I don’t want to resort to a scalper for him but it’s looking like that’s what’s gonna end up happening.

      Think your Rolla folks must have come north or someone in CoMo decided they needed some Megos. Went to West Broadway Wal Mart yesterday and they were down to four - one Green Lantern, one Robin, one Shazam, and one Aquaman (sorry Megonaught). Glad to see the product move. I like the line and hope they decide to continue it beyond the initial characters.

          I posted above (or another post?) that I saw a figure in Walmart Canada. Only a white Hammar Mummy. It was in the collectables section, but I’ve only gone to the one location so far. I’ll look around before this weekend for more.

            I thought Canada had Mego in TRU stores.

              Yeah we have a Mego section in TRU and in select Wal-Mart stores. Everything I've seen at WM is pretty old.

                I've not seen the 50th anniversary figures at any physical location in Montreal. It would be fun to buy them in store. It's nice to actually go somewhere and by something instead of having it delivered. Amazon is pretty cheap on these, though. It's the first time I've seen a figure cheaper in Canada than in the USA. Just paid 18 bucks CAN for Batman. That's 14 dollars USD.

                  I just went to the Walmart in East Stroudsburg, PA to pick up weed killer.
                  I wandered over by the electronics department and saw that is where my Walmart displays their Megos. They had boxed Shazam, Green Lantern, Flash, and Aquaman. There may have been one other but I forget.

                    I believe that was the entire wave.
                    Got all of them at Walmart but Aquaman. Had to go to eBay for him.

                      I've not seen Shazam anywhere in my neck of the woods.

                      Does anyone know how many of the 50th anniversary Mego is making? Is it in the tens of thousands? I wonder how hard it will be to find certain figures in the months ahead.

                        Welp saw the leftovers of this wave at Walmart yesterday. Aquaman and Green Lantern. So glad I got these from ZLC so I don't miss out at Walmart.

                          I visited a local retailer who passed on the 50th Ann. line because FTC figures didn't do well for him. The only Mego I see locally are the Star Trek figures. Looks like it's Amazon for me an the 50th Ann. line.

                            I wouldn’t trust Amazon; their packaging is horrible, and they’ll cancel orders on you (as they did to me with the not yet released Green Arrow).

                            Order from ZLC; you won’t be disappointed.

                              Whoever is doing the fulfillment in Canada is a dream; most of the figures come sealed in plastic.

                                Amazon in Canada is doing a great job. The price is even super affordable. My only complaint is that Shazam hasn't shown up here yet.
