Wave 2 spotted already

[Mary Canary]

^ I thought Texas was the first to put out wave 1. Or maybe I am confusing with DC Imaginext wave 5. Cannot find those little suckers anywhere!

I guess it would be cool if you bought a Sulu and he was number 1701 of the run. Ha!

For the most part I have been opening the figures anyways for custom fodder. I do have some I have decided to keep in the package because once taken out you sorta forget who they are (Charlies Angels).

I was really hoping to find some early releases this weekend but down in Texas there really is no chance. From what I have gathered most action figure early releases come from the "New England" or Northern states for some reason. One would think it would be Cali that would get them early since they come from China (for the majority of action figures).

Only time I think the numbers would matter to me is if they had a personal meaning to me like the year I was born or something along those lines. The chuckle factor would be to hard to pass up.

I remember when Exclusive Premiere came out with its Mego-like figures in the late 1990s, and everyone of them stated they were "1 out of ______" (I can't remember if there were 10,000 or what). The result was a few early re-sellers (in the days of message boards) announcing they had the first figure in the run, only to find out someone else also did, until they discovered that everyone had that same "#1," since there were individualized stickers.

Honestly, I don’t get all of the obcession with sticker numbers. Is it because you believe the lower the number the more value the figure has? If so, more power to you, but that’s the SUPER LONG game. Buy the figures and enjoy them...that’s my philosophy.

The main thing is that, for whatever reason, you’re buying these figures and, with that, Mego moves forward with more product and that’s a big win for all involved.

I agree. It's a bit gimmicky and in my eyes does not represent any true order in production. These figures are made, then packaged. How do we know the last one made is not the first one to get the sticker? I just seems like a collector rabbit hole I don't want to jump in.

[Mary Canary]

Same. The numbers are a big "so what?" to me.

[palitoy]

Yeah it's certainly not for me either but, to each their own.

[PNGwynne]

^Exactly.

Why does it look like Frankenstein's coat is two different shades of green?

Not that it really matters, but my Sulu is number 4,321/10,000. I was going to wait to get him because I really shouldn't be spending the money, but I couldn't pass up number 4,321!

I just made a Target run, and the wave one figs all had red tags showing the reduced price . . . even Jeannie and Tony were down to $24.99. But no Wave 2s at my Target this evening.

In my travels today, I was near a different Target, so I stopped by. No wave 2 figures yet, but the wave 1 figures were on sale. $12.99 for single figures and $24.99 for the 2-packs. I picked up Sulu and the Mirror Mirror set. They had either 7 or 8 Sulu figures, but only 1 Mirror, Mirror, 1 Hendrix, 1 Checkov, and 2 Dracula (both had bad paint jobs on the face. 4 out of the last 5 Draculas that I've found have had messed up paint).

Not that it really matters, but my Sulu is number 4,321/10,000. I was going to wait to get him because I really shouldn't be spending the money, but I couldn't pass up number 4,321!

Anybody have some close-ups?
