It doesn't matter what else you find this year, you'd give it all up to find this ONE item.

Does it complete a collection?

Is it something that you can never find?

Does it take all your credit cards and new house mortgage to obtain it?

What ONE item cuts to the head of the line for you?

For me it would have to be...


CLARK KENT



I need him all complete. Sucks that the last one on ebay was missing his glasses, but I'm sure one day, one year, he WILL be mine.

I'm really indecisive as to my next step with Mego but I imagine it'll be a Magnetic Spider-Man MOC, that or another Kresge.

Hulk

Tough one. When you are as strict as I am in how much I am willing to spend on a figure (rarely going over $100) you limit yourself severely. If I could get decent Teen Titans or 2nd Series Trek Aliens in that range, I might give up ABMAC's left pinky finger.

Displaywise, I'd give his left hand to see DidaDisplays come to fruition, even if it was just for the insertable art walls and floor models.

Like Hulk, with a cap on my budget, I think it would have to be a carded Palitoy Starsky. He is the only one I need now to complete my set. Typically there was one last year along with Hutch $120 for the pair that got no bids and I let them slip through my fingers due to an empty wallet (and I already had Hutch) :rolleyes3:

A loose Romulan and clothing for my Mugato and Andorian would be nice too.

My must have was sent in today's mail.
I'm looking forward to a Megolicious weekend when it arrives.

An original Romulan head and the missing parts to my Andorian costume would be nice. And the Dida Displaysets of course. I think I'm actually looking foward to those even more than the Trek stuff I still need

Um, well within my price range I'd have to say a bend 'n flex joker. If I can somehow afford it, a MOC joker.

I'm hoping for a good deal on one of the Star Trek Aliens

At this point in time,I'd say Batgirl. Of course I could change my mind on it at anytime.

Probably a Iron Man.

My wants are pretty basic. I'd be happy to find a nice loose Lizard or Thing at a good price. I like both figures, but I'm too cheap to pay a premium for either of them ;)

Parker. He's about the last original 8" I need. I also still need to complete my CK, but for now, my goal is to pick up a Peter Parker.

I need Supergirl to finish my WGSH line.

May 9, '07, 8:30 PM
I'd be happy with a set of gloves for a Silver Soldier Ape. (what can I say......I'm easy!:crazy: )

Aqualad. And I'm in the capped catergory too, so it's going to be hard to come by one in my price range.

I'm hoping to score either something in the Denim Carded Pocket Hero line or another 1979 WGSH Carded line.

Also - I need "beaters" for the restoration panel - I have a powerpoint ready, but I love to clean up pieces while I'm at the Meet too, and give people a chance to see the cleaning and repair in action.

mikeoz
May 10, '07, 3:29 PM
The WOZ witch's castle. Then I could finish that mego line and move on to others.

May 10, '07, 10:32 PM
I still need a carded Rigellian to finish off my Star Trek figure set.

Goblin19
May 10, '07, 11:46 PM
No original Megos on my list this year, but I may end up going for a Teen Titan if my finances are going well. Otherwise, I'm aiming for a few customs. First on that list is Hawkgirl.

steelcouch
May 11, '07, 12:04 AM
A nude supergirl or just the head to complete my silkscreen supergirl that came with a mad moddie figure. Thought I was over that hump with the supergirl being in my collection. Then a silkscreen suit came up and back to square one.

HardyGirl
May 11, '07, 12:07 AM
I guess I'd like to have a repro Romulan from Diamond Toys. I do plan to have fun ordering clothes and accessories:smiley: from Doc Mego and Joe D.

ctc
May 11, '07, 8:44 AM
Hmmmm....

I need two more Tomland heads to finish my set. I just need the heads; since I do custom outfits and parts for proper T2 Mego bodies.

Beyond that, I need to finish some customs.

Carded Brown Cornelius. Hell, I'm not even sure it exists. Anyone ever seen this figure. I have seen them loose.

ScottA
May 11, '07, 4:08 PM
This is tough. Probably to upgrade my Dinah Mite Campmobile and find more of her outfits and/or add some carded and Kresge carded figures to my collection.

May 11, '07, 5:05 PM
i have a VERY limited Mego budget, but now that i have a complete Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, AND Little John (with beautiful repro boxes courtesy Mego73), i really wanna complete the set and find a Will Scarlet.

i didnt have the RH line as a kid, but i find them so beautifully made that i started getting them. they're currently on my bookshelf, guarding my shelf of Aquaman comics...

it's a tie between a fist fughting superman and a fist fighting captain america the only two things stopping me is first finding a nice loose one and then find the doe to pay for it on my low mego buying budget

marillion
May 11, '07, 10:18 PM
Carded Old BOB & STAR, and a white carded Mego Pocket Heroes Spider-Man.

Peace,

Chip

May 12, '07, 4:34 AM
I've got two...

A decent loose Thing
The Batmobile - loose

I may be able to achieve it...who knows?

:biggrin:

Thundarr
May 12, '07, 6:32 AM
For sure it would be ANY of the Apes playsets. The Forbidden Zone (Judson's Garage playset sounds a little mundane, eh?) would be number one of course, with the TreeHouse a close second.
I like the FZ so much because it's based more in the theme of the original Boulle book....that is, not so much 'primative' as 'pseudo/forced' primative...my FAVORITE period for stories. Examples of this would be the Mad Max films, Thundarr the Barbarian, a Boy and His Dog, etc.. For example, there should have been junk cars and gadgetry littered around in the first film...and depicted the Ape society using a mixture of science and sorcery. But hey.....
:wink2:

I think my Thundarr figures would look GREAT with my Apes...think of the crossover possibilities! :grin:

My needs are simple -
The only figure I want is Dick Grayson - repro or custom will work - cause I ain't shelling out the money for a real one.

I need a few parts for my collection - Burke's shirt is at the top of the list.

Wee67
May 14, '07, 4:12 PM
A complete set of carded WGSH.

OK, I could forgo Iron Man and Wonder Woman. Heck you can even drop Gobby and Riddler out of the mix and I'd go for it.

jemboy2004
May 14, '07, 4:19 PM
I'd say ledy 8" Wonder Woman or Batgirl or Catwoman, I'd take one or all 3 of them.

If not them, I'd like to complete my Dinah-mite campermobile.

Chris DVM
May 14, '07, 4:21 PM
Hey,
A hat for my loose Zorro would be the accessory I really really want. As for figures, this might be the year I start and finish the collection of boxed die-cast WGSH.

I would really like to add a circle suit spidey or a complete Zorro.....or a zorro with any clothes...or even just some Zorro clothes....mys guys naked and scaring Conan.

There's not much I'd realistically expect to find on my Mego shopping list that I'd sell a huge chunk of collection for, but I am really looking forward to MegoMeet's special figure this year! (I'm auctioning off a couple of my Transformers prototype items for some spending cash for the weekend.)

If I had some sort of wild lottery windfall or something I'd track down and buy/rent Palisades' Micronauts tooling, or American Plastics' tooling. I'd buy the Ken Kelly paintings being sold on eBay. Oh - and I'd get a complete Lobstros & Sharkos. And borrow the Micronaut commercials I don't have from their surviving producer, and do something pro with them...

Sigh. Pipe dreams...

My other "wish" item would be a WGSH display box. Those are just way too cool.

At the moment I'm looking for Peter burke and Alan Verdon from POTA.

for this year a andorian upgrade or just his belt. mike

Not realistic but I'd love a Palitoy Human Torch or Robin.

May 15, '07, 1:11 PM
I need a high-grade, unpuched carded Neptunian. Really need this one.

But I'm in the tight-budget camp. There's a couple of times a year when I have some extra dough and could reasonably pull it off.

But knowing my luck it will come up when I'm flat broke and be going for a pretty penny. If I do manage to get it, it will take a lot of begging and scraping and serious wife-placating.

Just need a few things that are near impossible to find...but what the hell:

Clark Kend Glasses and Shirt
Peter Parker Head and Shirt
Great White Shark...no need for Aquaman :grin:

HermitBoy
May 16, '07, 1:48 PM
If I can find one for under $75.00 (I would go up to 100 but a man's gotta be able to buy lunch :grin: )I would like to get a 12" General Zod.

MegoGeek
May 16, '07, 4:46 PM
My entire Mego budget for the year was blown in the 1st quarter and I still have stuff coming at me from every direction.

That's good news for anyone going to MegoMeet because I am bringing a lot of stuff. Tons of loose WGSH, Vintage RAH Joes and Vintage Star Wars.
