It is showing up with no image and the 19.88 price tag for me.
The others show a 19.88 as original price, but are discounted to 15.88. (Looking at it again, Toxie is just 15.88 - no discount or higher original price)
weird
They weren’t the higher price and discounted when they first popped up. Word on the street is that Mego wants to charge $19.88 so get em while you can at the cheaper price.
Thanks ordered the Mole Man...whats with the higher price and no image?
As with so many things NuMego, this hasn't been clearly addressed yet.
One of the multitude of Mego reps, allegedly said that all the boxed figures were supposed to be $19.88 in some post on the FB (I can't find that post specifically, so I'm going off of secondhand report of that) and that Walmart screwed up the pricing. Why Mole People was the only one to come up that way is a bit of a mystery, but it's how it is in Walmart's system currently both in store and online. Mego has officially said that there shouldn't be two prices, and the Walmart online shows that some of the figures are "on sale" at $15.88 so that tends to lend some credence to the idea that these were supposed to be $19.88.
For as good as NuMego has been about communicating some things, they are often vague and obtuse about others. This question has been asked hundreds of times on their FB page but there have been scant few answers. I don't know why they are like that sometimes. I can only speculate in this instance that they're trying to downplay the pricing issue, as most people (and rightfully so IMO) think the higher price is kinda bunk given the figures are the exact same and the packaging, while more aesthetically pleasing to some, is not worth an addition $5.
That lack of a photo is just a Walmart thing. Sometimes new product gets put onto the site and it takes them a while to update with photos. Weeks sometimes. Their ecommerce site is not exactly the best run.
I pretty much hate "The Hunt" as it's called, so being able to order these on line makes all the difference. The Young Frankenstein set is the only one of these exclusives that really speaks to me, and I'm glad I was able to get one. I'm sure we'll see a lot of returns now that the hoarders and scalpers will have to take back the goodies they grabbed out of the displays.
Nice. Ordered my Nun figure online, as so far none of the Walmarts around me within 15 miles have the "New Fear" Promotion, and I've been to all four on the list.

The resellers seem so oddly entitled on these… as they are so readily available in many stores, and now online, such effort to scalp is moot.
Was nice of Joel to share some intel on the Topps shipment, the purpose of the coins, boxes, and pics of coming figures (Brent/Mutant ) in the vid-thing from last night. Hope to see this info shared in more effective/clearly communicated ways in the coming days. We're all here to help!
