Had a bit of a nerdgasm when I walked down the aisle of my local Walmart and found Mega Construx Heroes Series 2! They were all there, not sure if Teela was short-packed or if someone already bought some of her. Anyway, start checking now folks! Good Luck!

Nice. I heard the FireTeams and Power Packs for Halo just showed up at TRUs.

I might just have to go to TRU to see if the power packs are there!!

Nvm, just found a full case at Walmart here in SoCal. All figures are evenly packed. Thanks again for the tip!

I checked my local Walmart on Friday and saw nothing new on the shelves. Or, more accurately "nothing new on the shelf."
The entire Mega Construx inventory is confined to one shelf amid various other "clone brands" and completely eclipsed by the 1,000 square feet of LEGO shelf-frontage.
Mega seems to do this every year, or close to every year. They release a wave of toys either a few days before Christmas or in the second week of January, as if they've specifically calculated the release in order to minimize retail visibility and impact. They did it as Ritvik, they did it as Mega Bloks, they did it as Mega Brands, and they're still doing it as Mega Construx.
Glad to see the new stuff (finally) hitting the shelf, but it's baffling.

Found some tonight in Missouri. Of what appeared to be at least 2 cases, only 3x Teela remained.

Checked one Walmart in SE MI. Not much Mega at all, and no series 2.

On Sunday I did a quick trip to Laredo, Tx (from Mexico). Checked 2 Walmarts and both had them. One had what seemed like 4 cases. Beastman seems the peg warmer of the series 2, while Teela and Fry were more difficult to find.
I was also surprised at the shelf space for Mega Construx in the US! In Mexico the Mega has half an aisle in every Walmart (of course, Lego has a full aisle), but still, the space in those 2 Walmarts was almost non-existent.

The area devoted to MC had shrunk at N. TX and OKC Walmarts too! It is not even a whole section of shelving or hanging hooks. They have to turn boxes of sets sideways (so the buyer only the sees the side end of the box). And really nothing new after the wave of COD Heroes 2 (and not much resupply of that). I thought TRU would certainly have stocked the new COD WW2 figure set, since they always stock a lot of the WW2 sets...but none yet. They have always released new sets pretty soon AFTER Christmas - never made any sense to me....

Anyone finding the Destiny Saladin and Xur arsenal sets? I’ve been checking the UPC at Brickseek daily but nothing.
UPC is 887961574739
