Does anyone have The Amsco Marvel World Playset?

[samsallspark]

Do you have a link for that? (if it's the star wars sets, I've already built those).

I'm very surprised you don't have one Tim considering how awesome your collection is. Are you looking for it? If so, let me know and I'll help track one down for you. What would be your price?

It would be a tremendous task mainly because there are so many pieces to it. Could it be done, yes but finding the person who would scan each piece front and back will be hard to do. I've been in contact with the owner of the Sanctum Sanctorum Comix site for the past 2 years. He said he's send me scans if I'd send him some scans of stuff I have but he put me off for a couple of years. He's a nice guy and all but just never came through for me and I understand what a work in progress all that scanning would be.
I do have a few of the original character pieces to it if anyone would like scans just let me know. I'd be happy to do it.
In the end it might be worth trying to win one on Ebay. I've seen them go anywhere from $250-$500 and they show up a few times a year. Making one would be an incredible amount of scanning, cutting and printing. There are a few people on this board including myself that have been after one of these for a long time.

I am still hopeful that someone will answer my call and post the scans, (I can hope).

That's really cool,love the apes set Theressa.

Very nice. These sets are awesome and very well made.

I really didn't mean to come off sounding that scans would be too much to ask from someone and hope you didn't take it that way. I'm sure that many people would be interested in the scans including myself.
Here's a picture of the "Super City". It was in the Woman's Day Book of Best Loved Toys & Dolls and is intended for the 8" Mego figures. There's around 20 pages or so of instructions and you could probably pick up the book for less than $5. One thing is for certain and that's you'll need a lot of room!

When I first found this picture a few years ago I thought I found the lost Ark. When I told collectors about it, they thought I already knew about it. Ahhh, such is life.

I'm going to keep looking till I find the amsco set, keep looking and pm me if you find it.

[Mego Superboy Prime]

Hey Sam, I located a guy who has it.

Box is in great condition and the city is unpunched except for all the figures and a few of them seem to be missing; Hulk, Spider-man, Thing, Thor, Captain America, and a few others (seemed like the previous owner couldn't resist playing with all the figures and keeping the more popular ones). He said he doesn't want to punch out the city and may be looking to sell it in the future. I'm not sure if you want a complete playset or if you're just more interested in the city so you can scan it. If so, this may be incomplete but right up your alley. He said he'll get back to me, so I'll let you know.

[samsallspark]

Let me know what you can find out. If he just would scan the pieces even unpunched it would help, but if I have to buy it...hey I'll do that as well. thanks, keep me informed.

Marvel World has been Scanned! Scans Are Soon To Be Posted!

... I've been in contact with the owner of the Sanctum Sanctorum Comix site for the past 2 years. He said he's send me scans if I'd send him some scans of stuff I have but he put me off for a couple of years. He's a nice guy and all but just never came through for me and I understand what a work in progress all that scanning would be.

Hey there guys.
I'm the owner of the Sanctum Sanctorum Comix blog.

First, I am glad to find Tim Arnold here...
I feel I should clear up a few minor things.

Tim is right in that he asked for scans of the figures and it took me A-G-E-S to get it done right (I made scans, but they weren't great. So I rescanned and then spent time to clean them up in Photoshop to look brand new, and formatted the files to print on 8.5 x 11 paper for ease of printing... etc... etc...).

Basically, between my job and home life, I took several months indeed.
And all the while, with all of my excuses, Tim was kind and understanding.

Sadly, when I finally finished the task (last year in April) I sent Tim a few emails and he never replied.
I figured he'd lost patience and found them elsewhere.

I sent another email and that bounced back to me as "undeliverable".
So I thought he'd changed his email address or internet provider or something, as he had upgraded from dial-up to DSL a month before.

However, by then, I had lost my job (downsized by the economy) and had more pressing concerns on my mind.

I want Tim to know that each and every time I came across those files on my hard drive, I thought of him and wished that I had been able to produce those scans faster.

HOWEVER, (my long "sad life's story" notwithstanding ) several people have left me comments (and emails) asking for scans of the Marvel World set (samsallspark most recently).

I am very happy to announce that a friend of mine had already scanned HIS set and sent me the scans.

He reduced the size of the pieces so that they could print out on 11x17 paper to be assembled as a smaller version of the set.

I asked him if I could post his images on my blog and he said yes.

So, I'm going to check them out - find a good reliable place to host them (free for me to upload and free for you to download) - some site that won't delete them after a few weeks/months and put them into a new post on my blog (as well as at the same link-entry you guys had posted here).

I'll see if I can increase the size of the scans back to their real size, but either way, in whatever size, they WILL be posted - some time in mid May.
That should give me time to wrap up a series of blog posts I'm working on now (showcasing some of my old comic book style artwork) and examine my friend's scans.
(I'm also packing to move - as the job loss has hit us pretty hard - so... I still have my mind preoccupied. )

Anyway, if anyone knows of a good hosting site for sharing files, LMK.

Any questions, send a comment or visit my blog.

Take care guys.

That POTA one is ultra cool!

Take care guys.

So glad to see you here! I think in my last email or so I might have mention I was upgrading my service so I imagine that's where the email snag was.
Of course I understand that life comes first and the past few years have been tough on many. Really, I kind of thought I was being a pest and had asked too much of you, after all that is a lot to ask of anyone. Having thought I wore out my welcome I kind of put it on the back burner. In the meantime I did acquire a few of the original character pieces but nothing else.
I, like others would be extremely interested in scans but still hope to pick up an original someday soon.
It's a nice surprise to see you here and hope to see you around here much more often as your schedule allows. If there's anything I can do to help out, please let me know!

[samsallspark]

Here's the place to host the pics right here:http://www.flickr.com/ And they can be hosted at full size. And if you can scan them and send them to my email on the first page of this thread, I'll happily host them as well.
