    It says "come with me". Which might be inappropriate for presentday toys...

    The front says:

    Adventure Luc.
    The strongest. The most daring.
    On land, and sea and in the air.
    Adventure is my life. Come with me!

    So the "venez avec moi" is quite correct. Did anyone think otherwise?


    Btw: I speak French and Flemish (Dutch), so happy to translate...

      "Come with me..."

      Good thing the box art isn't Luc leaning out of a van, holding out a handful of candy.

            Just to clarify: there is only one Luc box knowing to exist at the moment, not two.

                Man, I was so thinking "avec", I even read it that way on the box.
                So yes, "typo" on the box. "Avez" is wrong.
                I should really get my eyesight checked. Or my brain...

                  Yeah, toy companies these days can't afford to put this on a box.

                  Would "join me" sound better?
                  Probably not...

                    Yeah, "Join me on my adventures!" or something along those lines would definitely sound less creepy.

                    Anyway, the Luc box art is killer. Much better than the AJ stuff, IMO.

                      After 13 years of research I finally found the elusive boxed Luc, one of the rarest Mego grails. For what I know this is the only Luc box known to exist. Very nice naïve graphics.


                      I'm the collector who sent John Bonavita the fisherman outfit. I found the Luc L'Aventure boxed outfits in 2002. I quickly contacted John to share with him this important Mego discovery. The outfits were bought in a charity sale in France by a lady (a doll collector) and then sent to me. Since then I constantly searched for LLA outfits but only a few have appeared.

                      In my life I have seen (in person or in picture) only 13 LLA outfits.

                      10 are in my collection,
                      1 (safari) was sold by me on ebay,
                      1 (fisherman) was sent by me to Bonavita (now in the Palitoy collection)
                      1 (ski patrol) is in the Palitoy collection? (seen on foreignmego)

                      Any more?




                      Luc is a hot topic on FB today

                        Right... Amazing how that happened, I made that post about 4-5 years ago and all of a sudden out of nowhere it rose from the ashes!

                          So worthy of re-celebration! I keeping looking at Luc on the box; that poor trudging/slumping ******* should have had better representation from the illustration department!

                              How anyone has this many outfits in one collection is beyond me. Its frikken rare, that's for sure. You never see these on ebay.
