i would love to see the dida displays made

Yeah, it would be a shame if some of the original Mego toys retained their value. I look forward to the near future when my kids will have to wrest my grandchildren away from their total-immersion video games to come visit me and my shoddy reproductions of forty-year-old toys.

Now, now, Ant! Have no fear Megos will hold their value. Just think if you could make cheap and shoddy reproductions of some collectors? The originals wouldn't change.

Have you priced Kirks and Klingons on eBay lately?

Nice try, but the analogy doesn't hold up. Using our own Palitoy as an example:

Palitoy is accessible to all, at no cost. The shoddy Palitoy wannabe is also free of charge, but the quality is obviously inferior. Naturally, nobody cares about the opinions expressed on his forum by the imitation Palitoy; the imitation is only supported by undesirable people who don't have access to the original, and by people whose compulsion to "collect 'em all!" extends to shoddy knockoffs. The original Palitoy's value doesn't change, as you say, despite the availability of a repro.

If an inferior forum with easier access appeared in reaction to the original forum's access being denied to the majority of people, then it would thrive. Under those conditions, the value of the original would be greatly reduced.

That's no way to talk about Brian, he deserves better than that

I'd give the imitation Palitoys to all my kids for chew toys and possible future M-80 fodder:-)
