Idea for Mego Meet 2010

[johnmiic]

I was considering creating custom Viewmaster 3D reels as a record of the next Mego Meet. I wanted to see how many people would be interested in buying these before I commit to doing it. How many of you out there would buy reels, (sets of 3),that document a Mego Meet gathering? What would you pay for something like that? I can tell it won't be as cheap as a mass produced set in toy-stores but how much is too much? What is affordable to all of you?

If the response here is pretty good I was thinking of doing more than one set. I think we have basically 4 catagories. I may whittle that down some more or I can expand based on popularity. Topics could include:

Mego Meet General Overview

Mego Meet Events

Mego Meet Vintage Toys

Mego Meet Customizers & Customs

These catagories are broad and can include 3.75" figures such as Micronauts, Pocket Heroes, vehicles, playsets, etc. Not just 8" action figures.

This is not a go yet. If there is little or no response from you guys it probably won't happen. I thought it would be cool to do it. I'm doing my research on this and am looking into getting the cameras and reels. I am thinking that these would be available in the fall of 2010; some months after Mego Meet. Post your thoughts here. If you have some technical assistance to offer in photography you can PM me as well but for the most part share your ideas where everyone can see them.

Sounds cool, but even if I had a Viewmaster 3D, I can't see spending much if anything on these. I'd love to look at them, once or twice, but then they'd collect dust. Hate to be a downer, but this is just me.

this is a really cool idea. I'm like Hulk, ya wouldn't look at em a whole lot afterwards, but they would be a neat little bit of nostalgia....and which part of our collections don't collect dust? haha

It's a cool idea, but I'd rather have a DVD. See the people and hear the conversations

Sounds really neat but doubt it could be done at a price that would entice everyone to purchase a set. You're also limited to 21 pics, right? That's a lot to narrow down to probably.
$5-$6 would probably be the most I'd pay but I'm a little thrifty as it is.

Custom viewmaster reels--Yes, that's totally awesome, make some cool Micronauts and Mego reels.

Middle age toy collectors in a basement in 3D--Not so much.

Yeah cool toy scenes? I'm all over it.

Pictures of Megomeet itself? I'd make sure I wasn't in it.

Take your pick of the Mego Museum card art, any of those images would be awesome for Viewmaster reels, but of course with Scott's permission and involvement
