    Does anybody know if the Big Lots that have sold out of the Megos, are they going to get another wave or are not?

    I had a good experience in St. Louis today with Big Lots. Stopped at the one in Webster Groves I believe. They didn't have any but the employees there were super nice. I showed one CrimsonGhost's photograph of the bar codes and SKU's. She checked and advised me that the Big Lots in Fenton and the one in Fairview Heights Illinois both showed in the computer to have them in stock. Went to the one in Fenton where another nice manager knew what I was talking about. Said that he'd been asked about them before but couldn't find them. Oddly enough they were in a small storage room/office at the front of the store. I followed him in there and picked out what I wanted. I can confirm that as of today around 1:30 there were some in the Fenton store. I don't know about Granite City. They recommended calling before driving there just to make sure that they are in stock. Please call before you head out. I don't want a bunch of gasoline invoices from folks saying they drove to Big Lots based on this post and the stores were sold out. (Consider this my official disclaimer) Happy hunting! Hope this gives others hope that they can be found.

    Well after striking out locally and coming up empty on a mini vacation, I decided to take the sku posted here to my local Big Lots. They confirmed that nothing was near by. After a 30 minute road trip to a store that my local store said had nine, I picked up Superman. Case breakdown was 3 Batman, 2 Robin, 2 Superman, and 2 Joker. I thought I would really want the display box, but I was unimpressed. It's just a white cardboard single row sleeve to hold all the nine figures with a maybe 2" flap with DC WGSH artwork on the front. It was tiny and wouldn't look all that great on display. Also for those still looking, they had them set aside near the front registers. They were concerned that people would steal them so I had to ask for their location after finding nothing out in the store.

    I have a huge Big Lots about three minutes from our home. When I took one of my Batman cowls and painted it for this release, I never knew this set would become what its clearly become. I ended up having to drive 15 miles to the nearest store that confirmed they had all four. Paul really hit on a nerve that allot of people were apparently feeling and kudos to him for always finding that pulse in this hobby that has been examined and re-examined for a long time. Its definitely opened the door to other possibilities. Paul deserves allot of credit for making this happen and he doesn't even have a set for himself yet.

    Of course. Big Lots had toys 50% off today and you can't find them.

    I live in south Texas and have run across two stores that have gotten in one box each. One store had mixed in the box toy isle while the 2cd had them out front.

    I just took turn-a-round pics of the Dynamic Duo so stayed tuned.

    I was right by a Big Lots yesterday and shrugged it off. It would have required a left turn at lunchtime...and Whataburger was beckoning.

    After going to numerious Big Lots (some multiple times) I ‘ve given up, buying one on ebay.

    Toy collecting in the post-Covid era is really no fun at all.

    I have no plans on buying these but a friend of mine from CT asked me to pick up Superman if I saw it. So last night I went to the Big Lots in East Stroudsburg, PA and didn't see them in the Christmas section or the toy aisles.

    I’m in Alabama. It’s not unusual for this region to get spotty distribution of any toy exclusive, but still frustrating.
