I have here in my hand a complete set of Mego Museum trading cards, from Spider-Man to The Astronaut. Do you want them? They're yours for the taking, if you can solve my puzzle!

I've taken part of an image from the Museum galleries and broken it up into a nine-piece jigsaw puzzle, and I've hidden each of those nine pieces in random messages on the forum. Some of the messages may be ones I posted, some may even be ones you have posted. They're all in messages that are publicly accessible, and none are in messages more than two pages deep into the forums or three pages deep into any particular topic.

Sound difficult? Well, I'm going to give you nine hints, one for each piece.

And you don't even have to find all the pieces! Once you've found enough to identify the photo, post your guess. I'm talking the direct link and filename to my mystery photo. But be careful, because you only get one guess! (Please post all guesses publicly)

Be careful, because even after you have all the pieces it won't necessarily be easy to recognize the photo. The pieces form only a small part of the photo; the rest is up to you and how well you know the Museum!

When you do have the pieces, you can cut and paste them into the graphic program of your choice to move them around and fit them together, or print them out and cut them into real pieces, or whatever you want to do!

Whoever posts the correct photo first wins the cards!

Here are the clues:

(and remember, the clues are to help you find the puzzle pieces, and have nothing to do with the final picture itself!)

What evel is Kirk diving into? And how much will it cost you?
Young detective trekking!
Well, Shazam! Just the facts, Greg, just the facts.
I'm your modern day super friend!
Mitch, help carey General Bob!
Great Scott, it's the dynamic duo!
Here's a tip: location, location, location!
Bundy: "Our Gang sure rocks!"
Michael and Chris got their buzz on!And once you find one puzzle piece, don't try to cheat by trying to guess the names of the other GIFs; it won't work. The pieces are hidden on several different websites in different directories. :biggrin:

Any questions?

Good luck!

Well, I guess it wasn't as tough as I thought it was.

You win, Dan. Send me your address, and I'll send you the cards!

First person to post links to all the individual puzzle pieces will also win something, a big handful of random cards. :)

Thanks, Joe. The contest was fun and very clever. I was lucky to be the only one working on it the first half hour or so.
