    Stolen bat signal!?
    How's this happen?
    The hotel should have video of everyone coming out of that area.
    Do they know there was a theft?

      That is so messed up that someone stole it!
      I hope you have been talking to the hotel about it because that is not an easy piece to obtain.
      Maybe it's best that we won't be there for MM next year.

        I promptly looked into that on Sunday afternoon when I discovered the bat signal was missing. The hotel staff reviewed the video surveillance footage shot by the camera immediately outside that room between the hours of 11 PM on Saturday and 10 AM on Sunday morning. All they could see were the other vendor individuals leaving that room with large plain brown boxes. I am afraid I'm going to have to chalk this up to a learning experience: NEVER leave anything behind that is small enough to walk away. It could have been a lot worse, I suppose. One of my custom action figures could have been stolen. In that way, I was lucky.

                  The Works In Progress Batmobile table was indeed another feature of my display area!


                  I spent some time at the meet repairing some damage to the car caused in shipping transit.





                  But many parts of the kit were laid out for visitors to see and touch first hand!

                    This is the first I heard of this and it's so disappointing. That being said, don't be so quick to pin it on a member of the community. There were other people in and out of that room who weren't part of the Mego Museum family.

                      Thank you for the kind words supes!

                      Join us next year for MEGO MEET '18! I will be returning with this same display and some fun new additional custom figures, and dioramas, and (God-willing) a finished Batmobile.

                      I spent the last year and a half just developing the figures and dioramas that were displayed at the meet for this year. Now that they're done, I can concentrate fully on THE BATMOBILE for '18!

                        Oh ABSOLUTELY!! I agree completely! I certainly did not wish to imply that I believed this theft was caused specifically by a member of the community! Apologies if I gave that impression.

                              No apology necessary, I was referring to the other post that said "so much for community." I'm thinking I'll give the Klingon guy a taser and put him in charge of security next year.

                                Between Austin's display of his lifetime's worth of customs, and Roberto's Gotham City, this was by far the most epic set of displays I've ever seen at any Mego Meet I've attended.

                                A hearty congratulations after the heartbreak of last year, on an even grander and more impressive looking Batman 1/9th scale world you've created here Roberto. Your attention to detail is mind-blowing... particularly the theatrical flourishes, from the backdrop to the lighting! This was sheer genius. I'm sure we have not seen the last of your innovations. Can't wait to see the next level you achieve with this.
