    They finally turned up at a store near me and I was able to get Action Jackson, Chekov and Dracula. They are the only ones I was interested in.

    the store by me finally got them in. my brother went and bought a bunch. but by the time they had them out on shelves I had already ordered them all from Target.com. I really wanted to get them at retail, but got sick of wasting time going back to the store every other day and finding nothing but an empty end cap

    Stopped by four Targets on my home today.

    Westlake Village still had nothing out yet, everything still in the stock room, employees not sure when they will set them up.

    Newbury Park had a good mix of 8", including 2 Draculas, but no Sulu and no 14" figures.

    Camarillo still had nothing out yet, did not ask about the stockroom status though.

    Oxnard still had just about everything they did on Saturday, including 1 Dracula which surprised me.

    For those of you not having any luck yet, hang in there...only about half of the stores out this way have put out their product so far (4 out of 7).

    What seems to be the case out this way is that the stores that have not put out their product yet are the stores that still have a boatload of toys on clearance. The stores that do have the product out, don't have very many items on clearance, just a few endcaps (vs. two or more aisle lengths).

I could drive to either New Hampshire or Rhode Island but there's no guaranties I'll find any, and I don't feel like driving and wasting gas to do this, I don't have the time.

    I'm not to upset since I was only planning on getting 2 or 3 but it's just the principle of it all, and not being able to
    walk into a department store toy section and see Mego's on the shelves, oh well.
    That's what happened to me so I had to order online and I got everyone I wanted

    I have picked up two of each of the Star Trek. No Dracula??
    But it looks like all the Targets in the Detroit area, have the end-cap displays up.
    AND STOCKED!!
    I love it, being able to go and buy Mego's off the shelf.

    LOL I own 1/5,000 of the entire run.

    Stopped by two of the closest Targets near me today, Ventura Main & Ventura West. Main still had nothing out as of this afternoon, West had a few two packs left (1 Mirror Mirror and 2 Jeannie's), and several singles (1 Hendrix, 1 Sulu, 2 Norms, 2 AJs, 3 Pegs, 4 Tooties, 4 Pipers, 4 Kellys, 5 Chekovs, 7 Alices). All of the 14" figures were sold out, as were the 8" Dracula & Fonzie figures.

    Stopped by the Oxnard store on Saturday, and it looked like they had just set everything out, they had multiples of everything including 3 Draculas. Hoping to stop by there tomorrow on my way home to see if anything remains.

    Well, as an update, I have visited the first Target I went to that had Megos prior to the "official" rollout date of 7/29, the Target in Addison, Texas on Beltline, and they no longer have anything nor any endcaps, etc. You would have never known that they had seemingly a small shipment of Megos, which evidently were 2 each of the 14" figures and a smattering of the female 8" carded figures, Sulu, and Norm.

    Other Targets in the Dallas area, especially north and in the suburbs, have nothing. No displays, no endcaps, and no stock, other than 1 store in Allen that had a box of six 8" figures (2 Sulu, 2 Dracula, 2 Action Jackson), and a smaller Target in Plano, Texas, which had nothing except when the nice store employee did a search, she came up with 1 Mirror Mirror set, one 14" Batman, and one 14" Wonder Woman.

    That's been it, as of Tuesday, 8/7.... Very strange and weird. I'm waiting still for the "official" endcap rollout so I can purchase one 14" General Zod....

If anything, they'd be more likely to yank stuff from the website to make sure there's store stock, if such was even possible.
    Thank you I knew that thats why i was confused with what he said.

STILL confused over that one cause i don't think that's how any of this works I would think they would have separate inventory for web sales

    Tracking is not working right for these figures. I've checked thrice now on the web for the status of the figures in zip codes we've seen photos of the figures on the pegs, and, every time, the web says there is no stock at that store. 16 hrs ago, a pic from Glendale, California; check Target site for that, "no results found." Something scwewy here.
