And, from what we've been told so far, the "limited" part is only for the duration of the Target exclusive deal. After that, I believe they are free to re-issue the figures (likely in new packaging to differentiate it, as the current packaging was a Target choice). THat in itself relieves a lot of my anxiety. And, as mentioned before, given that a major retail line of the 90's, Playmate's Trek, was producing their 9" figures in quantities around 15,000, and said number was split between ALL retailers carrying the line (and with a more energetic scalper market competing with collectors), the initial panic at hearing the number is ebbing, as I never had a major problem finding those figures. As long as these are not "one and done forever after," I think we'll survive.

What we need to do is buy what we like in these first waves. Target will then look at what's selling and curate accordingly. So if all the Trek and DC figures are gone, we'll see the line move more in that direction.
The Harley 14" looks solid, so that's a buy, but I'm really, really hoping we finally see a female upgrade for 8-inch. It's the only way my kids will have any interest.Comment

His channel is "Retro Toy Reviewer"
he is really born out of time lol His Favorite Trek is the TOS and His Favorite Movie is "Flash Gordon".
He wants to be a Mego ambassador but you have to be 18 to be one. He Right now has more Mego then I do out all mine are put away Right now. He has quite a few Micronauts and Mego Trek figures from ST TMP. and a couple of Buck Rogers stuff. I just told him about the news (he has been at the Maritime Academy for the ASLP a science and leadership program that you have to be picked for) He was really happy for the Trek and DC (Harley is his fav dc character) He said he was going to start reviewing the Playmates ST lines to gear up for the New Mego lines.Comment

10,000 is an abundance *in total*, but this will only work out like that if distribution is good. If all locations get the same amount of stuff, in an underserved area it will seem like they're scarcer than scarce, and places where there's no appetite (or plenty of store saturation) will be swimming in product."If you take a dog which is starving and feed him and make him prosperous, that dog will not bite you. This is the primary difference between a dog and a man."

Target seems to have a pretty good track record with this stuff, based on my own experiences hunting exclusives both toy and seasonal. I've never failed.
However, I would caution peeps that if they see and they like it, they should buy it then and there.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Either way, I will pick up the new "official" Mego Sulu. If they are the same, I'll most likely keep it carded and maybe trade it for any figures that I miss in the future.Comment

Of course, if they send all 10,000 Action Jackson to Delaware, we're buggered.

I'm actually looking forward to the hunt. I always had good luck finding the 9" DC heroes and Famous Covers at Target at the turn of the century.Comment

In reality do we know if the figures have a "street date" or could we find early if stock people put them out earlyComment
