Cornelius POTA sigpic MEGO of the Planet Of The Apes :ape:
:smiley13: Cornelius is home.
I'm in a groove and on the move collecting Mego POTA figures. PM me anytime. -
I went by my nearest TARGET Tuesday afternoon to check and see if anything was out early. My particular store was clearing off two entire six foot sections of what I call the “pop culture” wall at the back of the store behind electronics. I have a feeling that’s likely where the MEGOs will live, at least in Clarksville.Comment

However, they were reworking the toy section.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

I went to a Target last night that was finished with the whole store revamp. I have no idea where these will go; there has to be decent space for the two packs and 14" figures though.
The thing that struck me the most was that the Funko back wall was greatly reduced in size. I thought that could be revamped to add Mego since it focuses on retro items.
Also, in the front of the store, right between Starbucks and clothing at this particular location, was a huge area created and dedicated to Harry Potter. From the aisle to the back wall. I actually missed it on my way in because I didn't look left, and only saw it as I was walking back towards the registers. I wish Mego could have snagged the HP license and done what FTC tried, but ultimately failed at doing.Comment

Well, the problem is that they reduced the Funko space by getting rid of half (or more) of the shelves, so the NECA and Mego offerings won't be going there, unless it's just this Target's design that did that.Comment

In the target I was in last night the Funko wall has shrunk to 12 ft (was 24) and looks like they have cleared space (2 8ft sections) for something. And NECA just announced they will be in Target by august 3rdComment

It makes perfect sense to put the Retro Mego with the Retro Funko merch.Comment

I may have been wrong A Target employee (and a buddy of mine) said some stores will be putting the carded figures on an endcap with some of the boxed sets. but most of the boxed sets and the rest of the figures will be in the entertainment section aka with the funko and Stranger things merch.Comment

I have a Target 1/2 mile from me, I'll start checking it out more frequently. July 29 is the OFFICIAL date?Comment

According to Mego and Target, it is. I've linked the official announcement several times, but can't do it right now because I'm using my phone to respond. I can post it again later if you want, or you can check it out on page 2 of this thread.Comment

Apparently someone found the 14” figures in Texas today (posted via FB). Thought I’d try my luck today ... went to my local Target and. Othing on the shelves in the toy dept or the “collector” back wall. Had the “DCPI” for the 14” figures from Target’s website. The person who helped me tried to punch it up on their handheld scanner thing .... they couldn’t find anything (the “DCPI” could not be located). They then said let me check with someone else ... they came back a few mi utes later and said “they’re going to be online only”. I told them that someone had found them at a Target store in Texas today. They kinda shrugged their shoulders and said “I don’t know maybe it’s that we are just not getting them in this store”. So I “took a swing today and missed”.
I don’t know if that person in Texas that found the 14” figures was actually able to buy them or not. I’m hoping it’s a thing that the figures are just not showing up yet in my store’s system is because of the 7/29 release date. We’ll see .....Comment

I also saved them to a wishlist on my Target app.—-
