    I'm going to open Drac and Fonz, but Jimi was a buy for a co-worker. At least Draca and Fonz were on the back of the card instead of the bubble...
    I believe those are for individual inventory tracking via their online shipping process. The in-store figures fall under a semi-master DCPI number that lumps them into a group of other similar characters from the same case/assortment. The online figures need to be sorted out by each order separately, so they slap-on those bar codes to provide for that. I assume.

    finally found them at my local target. saw them the endcap at other targets, but couldn't figure out where they were at the local.

    the endcap is on the back of the luggage/men's socks aisle, away from the toys! no wonder i couldn't find them. most of the endcap being used for random items people throw on it. it was pretty sad

    I haven't found any in Columbus Ohio. But I haven't gone to the store yet. I was hoping they would just know I wanted one and bring it to me.

    There are only 2 targets withing 2 miles of my house, with a mere 3 working cars, 5 bikes, and just one Target gift card -I just couldn't make it.

    Well I tried to make it sunday, but I got so damn depressed
    That I set my sights on monday and I got myself undressed

    The Target on University Ave in St Paul, MN is stocked full of new Megos. Just saw an endcap, looked like the entire line was there. I'm not interested in this wave but it was really cool to see these things in the wild. The figures look great. Looking forward to wave 2!!!!

    So I visited another Target (McKinney, TX, Custer and 121) last night for the first time to check on the Megos. Full end cap display with end cap signage and a really good selection of figures. Five "I Dream of Jeannie" 2-packs and three "Star Trek Mirror Mirror" 2 packs. Three Draculas, too, so I picked up one to open. The Dracula figure is so very nice, and probably the best of the new 8" figures. Lots of Norms (5), Peggys (6), Tootie (5) and at least three of everything else except Sulu, of which they had none. They also had 4 of each of the 14" figures. Could not tell for sure what had been selling, but based upon what was out and what was left of each figure, it looks like the best sellers at that location were Fonzie (one left), Sulu (none), Hendrix (they had 2 left) and Alice (2 left)

    Since these are new, I would think these barcode stickers should peel off easily, just peel it off slowly, sometimes
    they can tear while peeling and then you would have to scratch that part off with your fingernail.

    From what I hear, they peel right off.

    I didn't go that far, but I did check out the NEW MEGO (T3?) body a little.
    The bodies are very nice. They have just a little more weight to them, than the original T2's

    THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE BODY JOINTS, LIKE MATTEL HAD!

    I pulled of Sulu's head just to check out the new feature. Once I put his head back on,
    It's a little loose. If you break the pin, your out of luck. Made me nervous, lol.
    I'll put him in some sun light to see if this corrects it's self.
    But if you don't have a reason to take off the head, don't.

    If I had to complain(I'm NOT) I would say I like the original neck plug best.
    BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING! I LOVE THE NEW MEGO!!
    THANK YOU PAUL & MARTY !!!!

    With the new neck plug, how are you handling the plug heads on the new bodies?
