    Who's Collection is Complete?

    Now....complete means different things to different People...so when I say "complete"...I mean have You got ALL the Megos You set out to get?

    I collect loose(but Carded if I can get them at a decent price)...so, I'd say I have every Mego I set out to get....except for a RC Batman DEAD MINT in Box....and a MINT Carded Superman...and then I'm done. Which is the reason I'm mostly into Customizing now....otherwise My Mego hobby would be finished.

    I collect so many different Mego lines (most of the 8", 9" and 12" lines) that my collection won't be complete for a looooong time. But that's ok, I'd be sad if the hunt was finally finished, it's nice to still have stuff to look forward to finding and buying.

  3. When I returned to Megos in Christmas '07 my plan was just to collect the POTA action figures (loose). Within a couple of months I completed the set with Soldier Ape variants. But while collecting them I slipped in a couple of old favorites like Shazam, Superman, and Aquaman. And that led me into collecting more of the DC WGSH. My DC WGSH is almost complete now but there are a couple of more that I want to track down.

    I don't think I will ever complete my collection.

    I am a classic case of Mego collecting. I started thinking I would only re-collect loose WGSH. But in between heroes, I grabbed a cheap soldier ape and then a Corneilus... new line started. Maybe I'll just pick up a boxed Batman... new packaged style started. Oh, I had the CAH Fortess of Solitude... new genre started.

    BTW, I completed my loose WGSH collection a few years back. was already in too deep to feel like I had completed my Mego collection. And i love it

    I probably surpassed the goals I set out back in the early 90's but things have changed a great deal since then, so I don't think I'll ever step back and say "Mission Accomplished"

    Even if I had a mib or moc version of every line I collect, I would probably start collecting loose ones, but as it is, I collect loose ones will never own very many MIB or MOC. Hmmm...

    I'm in the same boat as Brian. I surpassed my collecting goals. I started into new lines. I completed those and then I say I'm done only to think -Maybe I should get AJ - before you know it I'll be collecting the Waltons instead of cannibalizing them.
