At last, after months of checking every few days, our local Walmart FINALLY got a Mego Creature from the Black Lagoon! Needless to say, it is now in my collection. I'm convinced that if every store had at least a half dozen of these, they would all sell out in no time.

Great news and score.

I checked a local Wal Mart tonight for the Creature and there were none to be found but a couple of other Megos I hadn't seen showed up including a Rocky Balboa that I snagged.

Picked the Halloween III set up today at local comic book shop. I also visited WalMart looking for the mego Creech, but they didn't have one. They did, however, have one Robby the Robot left.  :)

After searching for a month for one Creature Mego figure and finding zero, I decided to preorder these from horrormerchstore.com

Well that explains why some people seem to be selling a lot of these in the UK if they are packing just that figure in one box. This wave has been the first lego wave that's being offered up by a few online retailers over here and I'm really hoping that this will happen from now on so that we can get them at a better price than importing them from the US.

Saying that though I've been going through a US private seller who charges the right price and exact shipping but if it gets picked up by customs there's going to be an extra charge to pay that wouldn't make it worthwhile is there's a UK option.

I long for the day that we get a fair crack at buying toys in the UK.

If I were to send you a b'day gift, would you have to pay a customs tax?

As long as you mentioned it as a gift on the customs slip and I think it has to be under $20-$25 dollars. Anything above that then you have to pay fees for it unfortunately.
