7/29 and no luck yet.

On my lunch I ran over to a Target near my office in Missouri and nothing at all here. No evidence anything has been put out at all. I didn't see anyone to ask, but I had to get back to my office.

[KLAATU]

I received my internet order today: two each of Sulu and Chekov. Oddly, each item was wrapped in bubble-wrap and packed into a separate cardboard box with additional air-cushioning. Then the four cardboard boxes were placed into a 3'x2'x2' outer box full of air-cushioning. When the UPS man came to the door, I was surprised by the sheer size of the packaging. Upon opening, everything looked great - except the black collars on both Chekovs was totally flipped up and almost covering his chin. Now, I just need to find the Mirror Mirror set. I've checked six different Targets in the area with NO LUCK at all.

Buying these boutique items from the country's second or third biggest retailer should not be this difficult or complicated in the year of our lord two-thousand-and-eighteen. Everyone involved in this should stop making excuses and be rightfully embarrassed.

I shoulda been able to click on the items I wanted on Sunday morning and they should be out for delivery today. You know, like every single other thing I buy.

True but other toy lines on Target's web site are not always complete either. Also no offense to people who do order them but most of their exclusives the website tells you they are not available on line.

These codes are all Master codes for the assortments:

EDIT: I moved the codes to their own thread so they'll be easy for everyone to find.

This is not correct. There are other case DCPI numbers that will work. 087162661 Jeannie two pack, 087162631 Mirror Trek two pack, 087162654 DC 14"

Those should help a little for some people.

I've had 0 luck with any of the other numbers, but I'm glad that you have, and I hope our other members will have that good luck as well. The master number is 087-16-3112. That will show if they have any Mego at all.

DPCI 087162654 is this the case number for Batman? I was using 087162677 and it was always WW & Zod that they showed to me when they took it from the back room. Thanks

4.) The only DPCI number that will work is 087-16-3112.

Found Drac at a Target in North Georgia! Some information and advice for my friends still looking for these figures:

1.) Marty Abrams was right when he said (nearly) every Target will be getting stock. The catch is some stores are getting more than others. I can vouch firsthand this stock is not limited to Target Super Centers.

2.) Many Targets already have their stock, they are just sitting in the backroom somewhere. Depending on how dedicated/knowledgeable the staff is, they can locate it in the back and send it up to Guest Services and hold it for you. (And good luck with that, because that is a very small number.)

3.) The stock isn't out yet because Target is doing a reset, and they are swamped with work. They are reorganizing their toy aisles to get ready for the holidays, and they're dealing with back-to-school as well. It may be awhile before our Megos actually hit the floor. Whoever said August 6th/7th was probably accurate.

4.) The only DPCI number that will work is 087-16-3112. That is the number that will tell you whether they have any Mego stock at all in the backroom. The individual numbers are not working at the moment. If you give them the DPCI for Dracula, for example, it won't show up on their scanners. You have to give them the number above.

5.) Call your Targets and ask to speak to someone in the toy department. Give them the DPCI and ask them if they have any in stock and on the floor. The answer is usually yes for in stock, no for on the floor. At this point it's up to you. You could ask them when they will hit the floor (it's always "tonight or tomorrow morning"), or you could ask them if they would mind checking the back room. (They should offer to do this, but usually won't.) If they locate the product, they should offer (or you can ask them) to hold it at Guest Services for you.


Well, that's it. The product is out there, and it is coming. If you follow those tips, you've got a good chance of getting what you want. Good luck, everybody.

My first box of Megos is on the UPS delivery truck as we speak. And my closest Target was in the process of tearing the toy department apart yesterday, so I'm stopping back today to check.

Bronx nothing yet at my closet 2 stores.
Anyone have different experience in the Bronx? or Manhattan?

[powersthatbe]

just went online again and ordered action Jackson,alice,sulu and Chekov.

[Iron Mego]

Well, from just seeing one store with the figures out I can say: They had everything! All the trek, all the TV stuff, Drac, Action Jackson and the 14". This stuff has probably been out for at least a week, and there were multiples of nearly every figure. It's all going to hinge on when the individual stores put their stock out.

My story:

I'm in Canada. We don't even have Target here.
I had friends and family looking all over southern Illinois and New York City last week and on Sunday, with no luck.
I felt this was going to be a "this is the official release date, but things will trickle out as stores receive and stock them" situation.
But when I read here that the products went live overnight on the Target website and sold out, I wondered if the release really was so limited that there were not enough figures to go around to all the stores and all of the customers who wanted them.
My sister-in-law bought Kelly Garrett for me from the website because she was worried the rest would sell through too.

Fortunately I have a friend in Colorado who had just purchased Wonder Woman and a bunch of the 8 inchers. When I mentioned my dilemma, he went back to his Target and picked up Wonder Woman and Zod for me and for 2 other friends who were also hoping for the new figures. What a good friend! Then, of course, later that day Marty Abrams posted the video about how the figures were still coming to all stores and not to panic or give in to scalpers.

Do I feel a little dumb that I am having figures shipped to me from Colorado when they might turn up in my family's neck of the woods in just a couple of days?
Not really. I mean, everyone was posting mixed information, so we did the best we could.
And although I really wanted Zod, I can't say I was going to have a pity party for myself if I didn't get him. But it worked out.
I still think Mego will reissue some characters that sell out super fast or are better sellers, even if they make slight alterations to them.
If there is a demand and money to be made and fans to satisfy, it seems like that's their original business model from way back, right?
How many times did they include Batman in their 8 inch waves back then?

For me personally, I will not allow myself to get so whipped up over a toy that I lose all sense or become super desperate.
I've been there, and I hate that feeling. I wasted an entire weekend once refreshing a stupid website waiting for the chance to purchase something.
And it's kind of like, why? Yes, these things mean something to me - but there will always be something else and then another something else...
I just don't want to be the kind of person who only lives his life for "things" - and especially with things like convention exclusives, where it's a rat race to get them and then the next year there's something else...

I hope everyone finds the figures they are looking for. Just try to be calm and patient and hopefully it will work out for you all!

Yeah I agree. I'm not going to stress out about any of this. They're toys. I have way too many already. And I think we'll all get the ones we want sooner than later without paying crazy ebay scalper fees. Then we'll feel stupid for stressing about it at product launch. 10,000 of each is a lot of product for a niche market.

Found them in my town. Furthest possible Target from my home. Funny thing is my buddy, who I'm sure had NO idea about these, had picked one up on Saturday night.

So again, the target.com information is incorrect as far in store availability. You gotta call and ask, or go into your stores and get someone to help you. They have the stock, it's just not being put out everywhere yet.
