    Megos at Joelanta!

    Hi everyone, here are some megos I picked up at Joelanta yesterday. For those not familiar with Joelanta, it is an annual GI Joe and collectible toy show in Atlanta, it's not just about Joes anymore!

    Repro lab coat and pouch, very nice figures

    Repro astronaut belt, and Urko has some leg problems, but otherwise he is mint. I do need a sword for him

    And not mego, but here is a SMDM with the Mission to Mars outfit, I like this set, and figure he will look nice with my GI Joe astronauts

    Didn't take pics of the Joes I got, which were many, fighter pilot, deep freeze, West Point Cadet, Annapolis cadet and photo box, and several more. It would be nice next year to see a couple more Mego dealers (hint hint)

      I'll have to keep an eye out for the next one. Worth the drive for Megos.

        Glad someone made it. I couldn't go. I did manage to get a late 90's Action Man Roadster at a school garage sale for $2 so that helped ease the pain of not going! How were the MEGO prices?
        Too many toys. Not enough space!

          Keep it in mind for next March. Maybe we can get a group of Southern MEGO heads there!

            Goblin and Lizard, 100 for the pair, 25 for the Urko and card, and I got the recarded Zira, astronaut, and cornelius all together for 80. The SMDM and outfit was 25, I was pretty happy with all. They all have some minor issues, but I'm good with them.

                Great Idea!
                Honestly, this is the FIRST I've ever heard of this.
                And it's in MY backyard (practically.)
                Shameful.

                  I found out about it on Thursday. Saw a blurb about it on AJC.com. Just could not get there this year. Maybe next. Still want to make DragonCon some day!

                    I wish I had heard about this sooner as well. I'm here in Augusta, making it only a couple hours or less there. Definately worth the drive. Went to Dragoncon one year, and that was awesome!

                          Your Mego Buys are stellar!!! But for me the SMDM w/ Mission to Mars suit is the HighLight!!! Always wanted to snag that outfit as a kid!!!
                          Check out my picture library of Mego-ish compatible vehicles with ID data.

                            Thanks, I am quite pleased with the Megos, and the Mission to mars set. There were probably at least 4 of the mars sets available from various dealers, there was a lot of variety this year

                              I am starting to regret not getting there!
