Mine had no toys whatsoever booooooooo

I have blockbuster every few miles here, so i checked at 4 of them and 2 had the star trek toy displays. So you might what to check another one in your area. i had to find a spock for my son and found it at the fourth one.

[drmego]

I checked two in my area of Long Island and both told me that
they were not getting them - all the stock went to other stores.

What do I have to do - hit every Blockbuster in NJ and PA just
to find my Star Trek figures?

[ScottA]

Zero toys (or anything Star Trek for that matter) at mine tonight.

Doc?!

You aren't having trouble finding Emce's to buy are you? You are just looking out of curiosity, right?

Seriously though, I don't know how it works. You made molds/masters for a company in China and they send bunches to Diamond who puts them in stores for sale, right? So there is no "Emce Warehouse" full of Trek Dudes right? You might actually have to go buy something if you wanted it?

I think I have seen before that you posted something about "your cost" so I assume that means you can buy cases from the China people at the same price as Diamond? Did I get that right?

So you probably have bought some for your own little warehouse but it is not like you have them arriving to you in crates regularly or anything? Right?

Let me know if I figured that out please. I'm curious.

And I was being funny up front, I'm sure you aren't driving around looking for a Blockbuster to buy stuff from but it read that way and it was funny when I first saw it.

Delaware BB stores have them

[drmego]

I had to buy any and all of the EMCE Star Trek figures from Diamond
Comics by the case at the same price as any other retailer.

My factory made them, Diamond paid EMCE Toys for making them,
but if I wanted any to sell, I had to buy them through Diamond and
take delivery of them at the same time - or after - as retailers in
my area.

I bought cases of each wave to re-sell on drmego.com but I got
no special deal.

[cdhall]

I was close then I think. Thanks!

Today I went to the local Blockbuster. Saw a Kirk, Andorian, and Klingon for $14.99. Great to finally see some EMCE at an actual store

YES, I just got back. They had Kirk, Klingon, Spock w/Gold Rank (2nd ed) and Andorian for $15.99ea.

I got Kirk and Klingon. Sweet that they were less than $18.99. I guess pricing varies.

Now I'm going to raid my recent purchases and give my son Kirk, Spock (Silver), McCoy (Silver), Scott, Uhura and at least a Klingon if not also a Romulan and an Andorian.

Do you think the Silver Spock and McCoy are going to be worth something? I guess I'll post a Trade on that section for anyone wanting to trade for them. Otherwise, my kiddo will put them on a mission right away!

[Captain]

Any Canadians have any luck finding these in Blockbusters?

I checked the local one and the girl stocking shelves looked at me like I was on crack when I explained what I was looking for!?

[thomasjo_2093]

I went to my local BlockBuster today and found a Kirk, Spock, and Klingon. That was all they had so I grabbed them.

My wife is an asst manager at BB in Tucson, AZ and it was there that she picked up Kirk, Spock, Klingon, and Andorian back in April. The store where she works typically gets cool stuff like this while the other locations do not. She's been called in to work at other BB locations and the main store manager where she works said their big store is kind of a test store to sell products such as this. So that's my exposure to Star Trek Mego and I've since got the whole collection. Unfortunately, no Mego toys ever arrived except those four. Other DST Star Trek toys have also shown up there too.

Good luck to those on the lookout for cool Megos at BB, I just wanted to share that not all BB locations carry the same product, some have more, some less.
