8 Reasons to Attend Mego Meet 2008

[RSS]

With this year's fourth annual Mego Meet Convention fast approaching and looking like it'll be a great event, it was high time to extoll the virtues and give reason to those uncomfortably sitting on the fence about attending.

1) The Official Keychain : Thanks to the ferocius generosity of Mike Conlon, Megomeet attendees get a free MegoMeet/Mego Museum key chain this year. This thing is sweet too, a lot of love went into it. So much so you won't want to actually use it but will likely keep it "MIB"

2) Dealers Room : This should come as a no brainer, our dealers room has been for the last events an incredible concentration of toys produced by Mego Corporation, along with replicas, mego-esque items and enough customs fodder to keep you going for the rest of the year.
3) Full Frontal Nerdity : One should never discount the euphoria of being a room of people who totally get it, people who hear "Type 1 and Type 2" and don't think it's a discussion of diabetes. That's one of the coolest things about gathering collectors together.
4) Panel Discussions: Guest speakers talk about Mego centric topics, this year's speakers include Dr. Mego AKA Paul Clarke who will discuss EMCE toys "Planet of the Apes" and "Star Trek" lines.
5) It's in a Toy Museum!: The Kruger Street Toy Museum is an attraction in itself and a great place to take break and wander. Also it's a completely family friendly venue.






6) The Mego Display: Each year a wonderful display of Mego is put up at the Kruger museum, MIB, loose and custom items are on display. Even if it doesn't inspire you to spend, you can soak in the memories.
7) Exclusive Figure: Chris Johnson puts together an exclusive figure each year just for the event. Click here to read the announcement of this year's figure.
8) Mego Museum Raffle: You don't have to attend to get in on the Megomeet raffle but it sure adds to the fun. Great prizes are being added each day, check it out.
So there you have it, 8 reasons to attend Mego Meet, a celebration of the World's Greatest Toy Company, hope to see you there this June.

Oh ya missed a whole bunch of stuff.

9) If you're an insomniac it won't matter because we don't sleep anyway!!

10) The incredibly intelligent restaurant workers and the equally intelligent conversations that will ensue while ordering your lunch.

11) BEER!!!

12) The breathtaking 13 hour drive through 8 states. That's just me though!!

13) $3.65 a gallon for gas!! WOO HOO!! Updated 5/16/2008 $3.95 a gallon DOUBLE WOO HOO!!!!

14) Truthfully. Getting to talk to and meet the people you communicate with on a regular basis, through a keyboard and monitor, face to face is truly worth it all. As much as I enjoyed the Museum before attending last year's meet it is an even better experience after you've met members in person. Hope to see you there.
