      When all was said and done, despite some of the trials and tribulations of the process (and it is easy to get frustrated while you are in process and easy to forget that frustration in hindsight), I ended up getting 5 of the 6 I really wanted via Target online and the brick and the brick and mortar stores I ventured too. The negatives were more down to clueless employees at Target than anything under Mego's direct control, and even the best system can fail if the people implementing it don't care enough to do it right (which is what I suspect is behind some of the issues with the clueless Target employees at the store level). I have to wait a bit for the three I ordered from the website to arrive, but in the meantime I've got Batman and Harley in hand, so all in all I don't have much to complain about really. The figures are cool. It's awesome just to be back on the hunt for NEW Mego product for the first time since I was a kid, so even with the bumps in the road, I wouldn't trade the experience in just because some of it didn't go as smoothly as I would have liked. If I somehow run into a Dracula, great, if not, I still got 5 other new Megos and all the excitement and sheer joy that the Mego relaunch brought to me since I heard the first announcement, through speculating what would be available, through going on the hunt, and now getting to enjoy the new Megos I do have. Short of a full Micronauts revival, I don;t think the launch or relaunch of any other toy line could have come close to bringing that to me. I won't pay a dime to scalpers, but I am not going to let a few inconveniences form the roll out ruin my enjoyment of the whole shebang either.

        The 2nd Target I originally posted about now has a few on the shelf and the sharp young lady who was a new employee said there are more in the system and the aisle they were on is scheduled to be reset tonight/5am so tomorrow it will look different. I’m curious to check the 4 I’ve been to but I can’t go out of my way. I currently have the five I wanted:
        1. Chekov
        2. Sulu
        Star Trek Bridge crew now complete
        3. Kirk/Spock 2 pack
        New Trek Megos, not really useful without the rest of the Mirror crew...
        4. Dracula
        Simply awesome figure, could redo 2+ episodes with Dracula in the cast. I can think of 5 right away:
        1) The Conscience of the King
        2) Wolf In The Fold
        3) Court Martial
        4) The Man Trap
        5) Obsession
        5. Action Jackson, although he’s like Red Shirts. I’d like several of him. If I were playing with them he’d be Red Shirt city with a lifespan of one allowance/paycheck, lol.

            Well I have 6 Targets within easy driving range and decided to pick Lodi, CA of all places to start and <BOOM!> I had a magical morning which not only included an awesome end cap (complete with a big Mego logo that I saw from across the store!) filled neatly with new Mego goodness of all varieties. Truly fun and beyond my expectations! Had a blast and even met another Megohead back in the area for Oregon. We shared childhood/adult Mego-energy and both tripped' the F-out over the Bela Drac! Couldn't have been cooler!

            Sorry so many fellow members didnt' have such luck, but it was obvious to me being in a few stores shopping over the past few weeks that every store is going through re-org and every store manager seems to have a different approach. Once your local store catches up, you're going to have a really fun time too! Jeezuzz Chrysler, I even got a good laugh over Tootie on the shelf! Hang in there, don't pay the scalpers and it will pan out as Marty explained.

            … btw, that store had 6 Dracs… one for me, one for the supercool guy I met, and we left four hanging for others to have a blast with. I also picked up Sulu; he's pretty great too!

                Some people found him in the stores, and cancelled their orders. I was with somebody who did it today. I wonder how many people did that.

                  I actually couldn't get my order cancelled today, and by the time I got home it had moved into "Shipped" status not allowing me to do anything else with it. The person I talked to on the phone for Target said to try calling back on Tuesday and they may be able to do a cancellation then. Worst case scenario, I get an extra figure.

                        Just picked up Wonder Woman and AJ online. Guess it's worth keeping an out out there for restocks.

                            And Harley. Thank goodness I have a Taarget card or the shipping would be killing me here.
