Mego WGSH 50th at Walmart Updates

[puckace]

Welp saw the leftovers of this wave at Walmart yesterday. Aquaman and Green Lantern. So glad I got these from ZLC so I don't miss out at Walmart.

I've not seen Shazam anywhere in my neck of the woods.

Does anyone know how many of the 50th anniversary Mego is making? Is it in the tens of thousands? I wonder how hard it will be to find certain figures in the months ahead.

I just went to the Walmart in East Stroudsburg, PA to pick up weed killer.
I wandered over by the electronics department and saw that is where my Walmart displays their Megos. They had boxed Shazam, Green Lantern, Flash, and Aquaman. There may have been one other but I forget.

I believe that was the entire wave.
Got all of them at Walmart but Aquaman. Had to go to eBay for him.

I've not seen the 50th anniversary figures at any physical location in Montreal. It would be fun to buy them in store. It's nice to actually go somewhere and by something instead of having it delivered. Amazon is pretty cheap on these, though. It's the first time I've seen a figure cheaper in Canada than in the USA. Just paid 18 bucks CAN for Batman. That's 14 dollars USD.

I thought Canada had Mego in TRU stores.

Yeah we have a Mego section in TRU and in select Wal-Mart stores. Everything I've seen at WM is pretty old.

I posted above (or another post?) that I saw a figure in Walmart Canada. Only a white Hammar Mummy. It was in the collectables section, but I’ve only gone to the one location so far. I’ll look around before this weekend for more.

Any walmarts in Canada with megos? I've not seen any yet.

It is interesting how regional this is. It only really takes two or three collectors who shop at the same store for them to sell out a case of these. Down the street in Rolla, MO, the WGSH 50th figures have not lasted more than a week on the shelves.

Think your Rolla folks must have come north or someone in CoMo decided they needed some Megos. Went to West Broadway Wal Mart yesterday and they were down to four - one Green Lantern, one Robin, one Shazam, and one Aquaman (sorry Megonaught). Glad to see the product move. I like the line and hope they decide to continue it beyond the initial characters.

I got Shazam today. Now all I need is Aquaman. Havnt seen him yet and my closest Walmart still havnt restocked. I don’t want to resort to a scalper for him but it’s looking like that’s what’s gonna end up happening.

Picked up Aquaman and Green Lantern yesterday (Happy Easter!) at the Brandon, FL (near Tampa) location. This was the first time I found this wave in West Central Florida.

I was able to get GL at Amazon...but that's not the subject here.

It looks like Walmart on Connecticut Avenue in Norwalk, CT... may about to become a Target store! There is one in downtown Stamford, CT.

I found Flash, GL and Shazam in St. Joe Mo.
I got flash and gl. So I only need Aquaman and Shazam. Hope the Walmart closer to where I live get them soon. They had the first wave. Still have the pegs but no figures.

I didn't pay close attention to all of the figures, but apparently the demand for Megos in Columbia Missouri is not great. Was surprised to see the Flash and Green Lantern still there and both pegs seemed to be full of figures. I understand that everything has its place but I wonder how these would move if they were in the toy section as well?
