    Ben's Book Mego 8" Super Heros: Worlds Greatest TOYS

    Hello all

    I have also posted this in Mego Buzz, I am just trying to get as many of us to see it and act on it.

    Before the Holidays I e mailed the Publisher Two Morrows about doing a 2nd printing of his book. I expressed that there were or are quite a few people who would be interested in buying a copy, I for one, and that I would hope that they would seriously consider the request.

    Today I received a response:

    Kevin,
    Sorry for the delay responding; we've been closed since December 18 for the holidays.

    We are considering that, but no immediate plans. Please stay tuned to our website for Details.

    Best regards
    John Morrow
    TwoMorrows Publishing.

    Maybe they were just Pacifying me who knows

    But

    If a few more of us send in the request maybe we can get this done sooner rather than later.

    HERE IS THE WEBSITE FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A CRACK AT IT!!!

    I am in Kev. I get beat everytime on eBay. I just can't pay that much for a book when I can use that coin to buy me a new Mego or two...

      I would love to see a second printing, perhaps revised--I know Ben has uncovered some new info. Perhaps it could be a TBP?

            I'd love for Ben to do a revised version, perhaps expanding on the coverage of accessories, vehicles, etc, and maybe a chapter on the other hero lines and formats.

              ^Oh, me, too--a revised, expanded TBP would be wonderful.

                Ditto, there is sooo much more to cover, especially other character lines, or if he stuck to WGSHs, the playsets alone.

                      I just contacted the publisher via the link provided. I think this would be the perfect time to release another edition with the popularity of the recent Mego style toys that are being done by FTC and others.

                        In what format? As a reprint or revised edition?

                          I did not know this either - I would love to see a revised edition I don't know what it would add though - I think most everything was in there - but I could be wrong.

                            Just to get and affordable copy would be a joy. I've never seen it.
