MEGO Dealers at Toylanta 2020????? Anyone??

[jointwarrior89]

Hello, I'm new to the Forum just joining yesterday. I am pretty enthused about getting more into collecting Mego after many years of collecting 12 inch figures, I have decided to turn my attention to collecting the 1:9 scale/Mego figures.

I was just looking at the site for Toylanta 2020 which looks to be huge with 2 floors of toys and 25,000 square feet of dealer space. Does anyone here know who some of the vintage Mego sellers are that will be there if any? I'm sure some people aren't Mego sellers only but probably sell a lot of other stuff too, but I'd like to go to the dealers who have a decent Mego selection. Just curious as I'd like to visit some good Mego dealers as I am looking to add some Marvel heroes to the old Mego collection.

I also would like to know who are the best dealers in the community's humble opinion.

Cheers,
Jon

I've personally never been but it does seem at least from the videos and coverage I've seen to be a pretty decent vintage toy show. I would bet on yes that you'll be able to find some there but hopefully, someone who has attended will chime in...

It is a great vintage toy show and some dealers will be selling Mego vintage and new. My wife and I attend every year. This year it is moving to a new location for more space. Since Marty himself will be one of the special guests I expect we might see a lot of Mego at the show this year. Welcome to the forum.

It's been about 8 years since I attended. I hope to attend this year, solely due to Marty Abrams being one of the guests.

I've been 3 out of the last 4 years and it's one of the best shows for vintage in my opinion. It started as a GI Joe convention but has grown greatly over the years ti include Joes, SMDM, Johnny West, Transformers, MOTU and more. This years show will be the first one in the new location. I have seen Megos there. I picked up a Lili Ledy Aquaman there last year.

I plan on being there on Sunday if all goes well.

Has anyone heard any update on this show, in light of coronavirus? No mention on their website.

As far as I know it's stll on.

[Mego-Amigo]

Seen on Facebook it is now cancelled.

Yeah it sucks. Only show remotely close to me. Was really looking forward to it and seeing some Mego Museum members.

I hope they reconsider. I noticed that the mood on twitter has changed from "HOARD TOILET PAPER! THE END IS NEAR!" to "Eh, this is not as bad as we thought." I hope by Wednesday things might start to inch back to normal.

While I can't know the future, I feel assured that as the volume of infected, sick, dying, and dead exponentially increase, no one will reconsider cancelling the show.

The people who are posting the likes of "Eh, this is not as bad as we thought" probably did not and likely are not capable of giving it much focused thought, sadly.

With a lot of luck and effort, perhaps some of us can attend in 2021. My washed hands have fingers crossed.
