    I heard they don't actually have it. If you order it you end up getting refunded. Sorry.

        I can confirm that. Of course, Bam.com charged my card immediately. Shady service. Buyer Beware!!!!!!

          I contacted them as well & here is the response:
          Bill,
          We are considering a new printing of the MEGO book; please stay tuned to our website over the next few months.

          Best regards,

          Could be a new printing hopefully.

            What would help would be a continuation with coverage of other Mego lines. Coverage of the Sci-Fi stuff would really make a nice companion volume. Ben doesn't have to write it, (I know he said Super Heroes were it for him). There are some others here who could write a companion volume. A Micronauts book would be nice too but I can't get a certain member here to write it.

              I just ordered the book from BAM and they said the book is backordered after charging my card. It says delivery is NOT guaranteed and it could take 2-4 weeks for shipment. My question here is: has this happened to anyone else and did they ever get the book, or should I just request a refund.

                it would make sense to re release the book especially with the whole RE MEGO revival going on.

                  Since it's out of print, I'd ask for a refund. It is available as a digital download now for about $13 bucks. Or you could try eBay and probably spend way more than that.

                    I'd love to own this book. Obviously I've known about Mego since I was a youngster and had quite a few of the figures, but since I started buying FTC's Batman 1966 line and their Superman series, I've seriously caught the bug here.

                        Well, FTC is re-releasing it, so you'll get a chance to get one now.

                          was long aware of hefty asking prices on ebay/amazon and found my copy for $65 at strand books in nyc about a year and an a half ago. brought it to check-out with no hesitation. highly recommend that place when in the big apple- a bookstore you could completely get lost in for hours- graphic novel and comic artists dept alone!
