    Same here. I have gotten 99% of my stuff online. The local Target has a billion Stan Lee figures and a few Wave One figures they just can’t move (Facts of Life, for example). Other than that, nothing.

    I don't think anything is warming shelves, but I do find the TNG stuff hasn't moved as much as you'd think. This has happened to other companies too. Not sure why that is, given how little TNG merch there usually is at any one time.

    I'm guessing right now the issue is a backlog of stuff showing up in stores creating sudden "floods" of product and of course, the more desirable figures go quicker but I think it misrepresents a traditional peg warming.

    I'm curious to see some of the new Apes in store, but around here very little new Mego at all. Although a few stores have some items.

    Shazam! I just received my 14" Capt. Marvel. It's a nicely-packaged, very appealing figure. Classic costume, the boots are a bit metallic in person and the cape is accurate. I really like the sculpt, my only quibble would be his too-thin eyebrows.

    I see Aquaman on the box's back--can we expect a reissue?

    I counted 8 Geordis at least but yeah, hopefully those just got put on the shelf and they sell like hot cakes. I’d love to see tons more Trek stuff from Mego. Just don’t know why they went with Geordi over Worf. It’s like going with Chekhov over Scotty.

    Or, some that just need rotated for better merchandising.

    the local Targets by me never have anything. barely even a collectible area. ZLC does have a lot of wave 14 up for sale now, including Krik, Spock, Laforge, Soldier Ape and one of the Killer Klowns. they also have McCoy with proper skin tone and blue accessories in stock according to a post i saw in FB

    They have Scotty and McCoy! That would be nice to see. I only ever saw one Scotty and he had a messed up collar that wasn't the complete piece of fabric. It's like they used a scrap of fabric.

    I'd pass out if I saw that selection at retail. Not much here in NEO.

    A local vintage video game store near my house has a bunch of the new Megos. Couldn’t say about local comic shops, there ain’t any within a hundred miles anymore.
