7/29 and no luck yet.

[darkbros]

I'm of a different mind set on these, but I'll chip in my 02¢.

First, Targets suck and don't put stuff where they should. They are inconsistent on their planagrams on what should be on aisle/ what should be on endcap. Having worked Sears, Venture, Kmart and Walmart I can tell you they aren't the only ones who suck in this regard.

My experience was I hit two Targets, one 15 mins from my house, one 45 minutes away.
( I posted pics in the Mego Mania group for anyone who wants to see)
The first Target had NO Megos in the Toy Section, & none out in the collectibles section ( in Electronics).
The second one had the Star Trek two pack in the Toys Star Wars section,
and everything else in the Collectibles ( Electronics) section.
Nothing was on Pegs that Should have been on pegs, so if you didn't know to carefully look
for "mego Feet" you would not have seem them stacked like books on a shelf and known what they were passing them by.

My only "had to get" was Dracula, because even though (a) I own still my OEM Mego Monsters Dracula from when I was Kid,
(b) I love Dracula as a character and it is an awesome sculpt. The Rest of the 8inch released were all either hard passes
( Fonz, Tootie ( which doesn't even look like the character and should be a peg warmer when this is all over), Alice, Chekov)
or only desirable for custom fodder (Peggy, Kelly, Sulu, Jimi) at clearance / below retail price point.
I have enough AJs from when I was a kid that I could make an army of them ( most I use as thugs / gangsters anyhow)
if I wanted.
(I personally would have been happier if they had released AA Action Jackson, Dinah-Mite, Nubia.... but I digress.)

The 14inchers I find to be an odd choice....immediately I was disappointed they didn't release Zod as an 8incher, which would have seemed
like the perfect storm: A desirable figure, and one never made in 8inches that collectors would line up for. I would have definitely bought one
( as AJ had stood in as Zod when I was kid).
So even though I saw all four on the shelf, WW Zod and Big Forehead Harley each got a hard pass.
Batman...well they only had two, and one had a screening defect on his logo clearly visible from the box.
The other was in better shape, better paint lines etc. The wife said "you know you want it" and clearly I didn't, because truth be told,
I still have my Legends Of Batman 12inch Batman and Catwoman set, and like them a whole lot. So I walked around with him in the basket
for about 30 mins until I finally decided to take him home. He wasn't a "must buy" but he grew on me.
and I primarily collect Batman things...( I also picked up the new 2018 Hot Wheels animated series batmobile for my batmobile collection, but again digression)


If anyone needs figures I plan on hitting the other target near me (25 minutes) and seeing what they have, but until they get put on the endcap for clearances for me I'm done. Peggy would make a nice Maxima Custom ( or Siren ( Mera's sister) or Poison Ivy) and Kelly can be any brunette superhero
( Jessica Jones came immediately to mind). Sulu's head would be fine for an Asian SuperJoe or Kato custom, and Jimi could be turned
into a few customs ( off the top of the head, when I saw him I thought of Tyroc from the Legion).
Most of what I've seen the numbers on the stickers were all in the 3000 to 4500 range ( I saw one Alice that was 716/10000!),
so if your into carded figures ( I'm not) I can be on e the lookout for you. Just let me know.

Yeah there was a small line waiting for them to open this morning at the Target I went to. Most were there for Funko Pop Pokemon. I did run into another guy wanting Megos. He was explaining to the young lady what he wanted by name and I had the DCPI numbers for at least the Star Trek ones written in my little note book so I give that to her. I was trying to help out. In retrospect I hope he didn't think I was trying to have her help me instead of him.
It showed that none of the stores around here had any. I had what I thought was the DCPI number for the assortment or case. I got it from one of the posts here. I don't remember from whom. When I check it I get nothing. She said it showed some were on their way. So here's the number 087-16-3112. I don't know if it'll help you but you can give it a try.

Nothing at all at the three Targets I went to, though I did see an empty endcap with all the Mego barcodes on 'em. A friendly Target employee scanned 'em, said they'd be in on August 5th. Hoping to get an AJ, Bela Lugosi, Peg Bundy and Piper from Charmed.

Was able to get Jimi Hendrix and Kelly from Charlie's Angels form Target's website, so I at least have that going for me!

[Iron Mego]

Nothing where I went, and no discernible space for them on the floor. I have no interest in chasing after these, so I’ll see if I catch them when I do my weekly shopping.

[powersthatbe]

I am really surprised by all this I though the new mego would only appeal to the nostalgia crowd but they are gone everywhere.Anyway I am happy for Marty and the good doc that these are selling.

[LonnieFisher]

I feel you, buddy.

Somebody said this was going to be "Christmas in July". For me, I feel like I ran downstairs and... not only were there no presents, but somebody stole the Christmas tree...

Visited by the Grinch!

We need to keep in mind only a teeny tiny fraction of the 10,000 each of the figures have hit stores. Many areas have not even received their shipments.

[wise guy]

You live in Fresno??? Which stores did you go to, if you don't mind my asking.

Today I checked Target Clovis south and north, Fresno South(shields) , Riverpark and Blackstone Bullard with no luck. The first and shields store told the scalper guy that
they are still remodeling and might have in a few days( but scanner shows online only)

Thanks Wise Guy. I was at Bullard/Blackstone today and didn't even see a spot for them. If they have any they simply haven't put them out yet. They usually restock on Mondays or Wednesdays.

Yeah, this is a bump in the road, you'll all be fine.

[thunderbolt]

I will since I won't waste any more time looking for them.

We're out of town this week and I checked the local Target this morning and found nothing. Asked a guy and he pulled them up and said they didn't have them and recommended ordering them online. He mentioned about the people that came in early for Funkos but I said these were different from that. I'll check a couple of stores once I'm near others, but honestly I wanted to pick a couple up off the shelf myself and buying online just doesn't interest me. I guess if I don't catch them in stores I probably won't pick them up.

It's not insulin.

[Mego-Amigo]

I have been in and out of more Target stores than I care to count on my 3 hour trip to Rob Con over the weekend finding absolutely nothing. At home this morning none of the 3 Targets in my area had them yet as expected. I was fortunate enough to get 4 of the ones I wanted ( Kelly, Fonz, Chekov and Sulu ) online about 3:30am this morning when I woke up.

[thunderbolt]

no it isn't, I used to have to get insulin for my mom thank you. It really shouldn't be this difficult to get a dollie at a store.
