Still waiting.  I have to go get some gas tomorrow, and the station is near a Target and Walmart, so I'll check them out then.

Hopefully you'll have some money left after you fill your tank.  :)

For me, the bad part is never being able to park close - and then having to walk to the very back of the huge store where they keep the toys and Halloween stuff  (What I want is NEVER by the checkstand.)  only to discover they don't have what I want in stock.

Multiply that by multiple trips to several stores...  and waiting on BBTS, who charges $4 shipping, doesn't sound like such a bad deal.

Yeah I went by the one on W. 119th Street, and picked up a couple Dracula and Frankenstein plushies from NECA that I hadn't seen before. I did find a B/W Wolf Man at the Target in South Olathe (like 154th I think), if you're looking for one of those.

Thank you, TheMadScientist.  Have you heard of 1313 Mockingbird Lane, in Lawrence, Ks.? They have a wide selection of vintage and new collectible toys. They are located on Massachusetts st.
Plus. I shop and visit other collectible toys stores all over Kansas and Missouri.

I have been to 1313 a few times. I live in Wichita but try to go once a year.

Local Target store / Local Walmart store - nothing.

Going to see a friend in the Orlando FL area near a large Target store today.  Might have some there. 

BBTS upped the pre-order estimate release dates to "April 2022".  Wasn't the original release date supposed to be November 2021?

Just got back from visiting a friend in the Orlando FL area.  Went to a nice big target store there (a SUPER Target).  As expected - no NECA Mummy.  No NECA Wolf Man.  No Frankie, either.  About 6 King Kong's (the ones with that orangy / red garish paint scheme).  Some Back to the Future figures.  Quite a few POP figures (they're everywhere, though I really don't like them at all).  And that was about it.  And at my local Walmart - the cleaned up their "collectibles" area - just put the same old figures they've had for months on the shelf hooks.  Nothing new.

Finally found the Mummy at my local Target along with two black and white Wolfman. That's all they had here in Colorado Springs.

Well made one more trip to my local Target, went to the collectibles area and found nothing. Started walking away and noticed some NECA figures on an end shelf of one of the toy aisles. Found like 7 of the Mummy figures. So BBTS has now lost out on preorders for all 3 figures that are out now

You guys are so lucky.

I've given up searching.  When they come in at BBTS they come in.  I can wait it out.

On the plus side, over at NECAs Ebay store they have a cool 6 pack of glow in the dark Aliens eggs and face huggers that look cool.   I'm a sucker for stuff that glows in the dark

If you have a Target in your area, try that.  Look for the Haul a Thon stuff.  It's been hitting in waves, so stock has been changing, but Mummy and Wolf-Man have appeared on that shelf in my area.

It's nice to have a fun hobby.  (Boy, you must really love monster dollies.)

I walked into Target yesterday. pile of Wolfman black and white editions. Walked into Wal Mart for groceries today. Pile of color Mummies. The local collectibles shop I frequent has a ton of color Wolfman, Frank, Mummy. They're all over the place in Ohio.
