    It's a great idea.
    The only prob I see is the price.
    60 dollars seems awfully expensive for cardboard, shower-curtain and some plastic.
    A vintage loose bridge is cheaper then that.

      Yeah, I agree. If they could get it down to even under $50, I think they could move a lot more.

        Unless you're mentally encased/fixated in your childhood (...or just plain mental..), I'd ignore this and go DIDA, full steam ahead.

                My hook is the transporter. Didas nice with the new engineering section and med bay but I would want to go old school with the transporter.
                Lo there do I see my Father.
                Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
                Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
                Lo they do call me.
                They bid me take my place among them.

                  At the risk of being a total pain in the neck...I can always put a transporter in a Dida. I've ripped about 6 of them out of beater Enterprises. If these sets lead to plentiful stools and transporters I'll be happy. I haven't given up on the phone booth....

                        Scott:

                        NO NEED for a transporter... It's a silly gimmick anyways. Your different Bridge displays now rule 'the Kingdom They Call Mego.'

                        Definitely NO need for change!

                          I just want the stools, chairs and command console
                          Too many toys. Not enough space!

                            Mego was all about silly gimicks in the day. I'd want something that brought me back to those fun filled 70s. Otherwise Id go for something updated like dida or Johns bridge.

                            To me repro figs wouldn't look at home in anything else but a old style bridge..
                            Lo there do I see my Father.
                            Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
                            Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
                            Lo they do call me.
                            They bid me take my place among them.

                              Oh, I love the transporter. It's Mego's best gimmick. I'd use it in everything if I had enough of them. A lot of my gimmicks are attempts to have the same fun idea without a tricky, expensive piece of plastic.
