    Mego In The Wild!!

    I had a feeling that I'd find some Mego's at the Sunday market in Toronto today. I bought two loose apes, complete and nice condition for $40 and then found a boxed AJ at another table for $5. I figured $20 a piece for the apes was an ok deal as the repros are that. The AJ box is ok shape, has small repairable rip at the top, but I'm not a "minty" kind of guy so I'm cool with it.

        I have not been as fortunate to find alot of quality Mego's in the wild so to speak. I found a couple here and there (pretty far and in between) although nothing really worth mentioning. Sounds like you found some nice stuff. Good job! Happy hunting to all!

            Awesome finds! I saw a loose Cher doll for $3 but passed. Now I wish I would have gotten it just so I could say I bought a Mego in the wild this year.

              That's a great deal for a boxed AJ.

                Way to go, always a great feeling finding a Mego in the wild

                  Nice! I'm in Toronto too and the only affordable Mego I ever found here was a nude Cher doll, which I did buy - so there, Tim!

                  If I ever see any in comic stores or flea markets they're insanely priced. The best and cheapest one's I've found have been in antique barn type flea markets in the U.S.

                    That's great. The best deal I've gotten on Mego's that way were two nice Magnetic Batmans for $12.50 each.

                        I found a Zombie Ponch and Jon for $5 each last week.

                        Great feeling to find them in the wild.

                          Wow! That is awesome. Do you mean the Sunday Antique/Flea Market across from the St Lawrence Market where they have the farmer's market on other days?

                          I've found lots of great stuff there over the years. It used to spillover into the former dirt-mall where the Rainbow, Harvey's and Metro is now. I found a handful of Comic Action Heroes, the seventies Marvel Superheroes tin lunchbox and thermos, plush seventies Artoo Detoo, and Chewbacca, and 12" vintage Star Wars figures there for a steal over the past decade. Of course there some some weeks where there was nothing at all, but that's the thrill of places like this.
