Another thing to share in this ad, the Dinky Star fighters and Yoda's came from another toy wholesaler. A man who was good friends with my dad by the name Hans. He had a successful chain of stores called "Pinnochio's" and he was my dad's travelling buddy to NY Toyfair in the 1970s. They were pretty funny together.
Even though my dad had retired from toys, Hans came over to visit and when i was 14, i asked him if he had any Mego left, he said "Oh go see Morris at Parkdale, he's got tons of that stuff" and that's where it all started for me.
at one point in the mid or late eighties, they had the boxed 10" Robin from Parkdale, and some other mego stuff. The Robin was something like eighteen bucks, which seems outrageous. Now I wish I had bought them all.Comment

It's never easy to lose a friend. My condolences and thanks for sharing your stories of him. I never knew where all the great Megos came from but I certainly enjoyed them. We had a cases of each basic Star Trek figures that came from his finds. It was a lot of fun we can all thank him for!Comment

Sorry for your loss. Your tribute was well written and heartfelt, and seems a fitting tribute to someone who bore such an influence upon you.

Very sorry to hear this Brian, I have heard that Dick Tracy story from multiple people, never thought I'd know who it actually was. A true pioneer.Comment
