Mego WGSH 50th at Walmart Updates

[Jmass]

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?

Got a notice from Amazon cancelling my order for Green Arrow, citing a lack of availability.

Same here.

I found Aquaman at Miejer's today, as well as a Robin that I had missed form Wave 1. They had a couple of Supes and Bats as well, but nothing else from wave 2. Both Walmarts in town had nada, not sure if they haven't gotten them yet or already sold out of what they got, but I have never seen any wave 2 at either of them and only saw wave 1 one time (which is when I picked up Supes and Bats).





Our Meijer used to have Megos in the toy aisle, but these were in a collectible section between toys and electronics (near a huge clearance display) so I almost missed them.

saw GL, Flash and 2 Aquaman over at my local a few days ago. They were all gone today. I am guessing the entire wave lasted about a week (probably less) at the local store.

Both ZLC and BBTS appear to be sold out. A lot of love for Oliver Queen, it would seem. Which normally would be a good thing. If I weren’t looking to place an order since the one I placed last year just got cancelled.

I'm still looking for some kind of update on what's delaying 50th Anniversary Green Arrow. Not a big deal, but I am curious what's causing the hold-up.

Amazon cancelled my Green Arrow pre-orders too.

Me too. I still have it on pre-order at BBTS.

Wal-Mart I was at today in Maryland out of Baltimore had two GL, a Flash, Shazam and IT (boxed). My wife already ordered the 50th characters for me as gifts over the holidays and after, so I am OK with just one of each. I had been thinking of getting an extra Flash, but when I price checked, it was $39.99. I did not get it at that price, since I think they are $19.99 at other stores? Instead I picked up a $20 soldier ape today who looked like he needed a home

Thankfully I had also placed an order with ZLC for two.

This happened to me with the Flash and Walmart. Walmart preorders are unreliable. Unfortunately, now it's happening with Amazon more often. Thank goodness for ZLC or I would be stuck hoping that my local Walmart stocks them and that I'm lucky enough to be there the day they do. I didn't even bother to preorder any others from Walmart. Just ordered from ZLC in the first place. They have always come through for me.

I found more of these at 2 other Walmarts in my area and picked up some extras of GL, Aquaman and Shazam. Flash has only been found the first time so he might be selling better, or understocked at these stores .Everthing so far has been in collectible areas
by the video games . Only 1 of the three stores actually had them on pegs and one of the stores still had wave 1 with Superman ,Batman and Robin. I was actually looking for some Mcfarlane figures when these were found

I started regularly checking my Walmart for new figs again after some sightings trickled in a couple weeks ago, but there's been nothing. But the labeled pegs remain (as MRP noted), even though they've been empty for months, so who knows..

Checked our local Wallyworld, which had gotten Wave 1 and nada. Three pegs marked for Mego, but they had random misplaced Neca stuff on them and the whole aisle looked barren, so I am not sure if they are looking at a reset, aren't stocking that aisle, or stuff is selling before it actually hits the shelves. The only Mego they had were three of the 2 packs, still at full price, but the boxes were beat all to hell, and those were lying on the bottom shelf below the pegs. half covered by stuff that had fallen off the pegs because of torn cardboard.

The whole collectibles section looked like a wasteland, except for an overabundance of Funko Pops, which filled their area and two additional endcaps.

Yeah, Tom posted this photo on FB. So that's a good sign.

Canada is still a ghost town, Mego initially said January, but nope. A few dribbles on Amazon but zero retail presence here. I don't hear much from Mego these days, so I'm not sure what's up there.
