          Still hoping I can make it up for the day. Looks a bit murky now, but either way, very excited to hear the news out of the Meet one way or another!

            Looking forward to the news, but even though Columbus is in my backyard, we're short staffed at work so getting a weekend off is not happening right now. I initially thought Sunday was part of the Meet so could stop by for a day, but I misread the info, and Friday and Saturday aren't going to happen for me, so will wait patiently for the news to get posted here or on the Mego Facebook page.

                    Pardon my ignorance for asking such a question: are their patent/mold rights on the Mego head sculpts and other things that might make a company like FTC be concerned that Mego is coming back in some capacity?

                    Obviously I get that what EMCE did/does is with Marty's blessing and endorsement what with his image on the backer card.

                      These are things I am curious about, as well. I was wondering how it will impact FTC using "Mego Style" in their descriptions. There was obviously nothing wrong with them using that and creating an entire business around it, but how does that change their position or how does their current position dictate what the actual Mego Corp can do?

                      Also, I seem to remember Marty applying for trademark of the Mego name several years back. I don't remember the details or exactly when, but I remember something about it. Seems "Lego" was battling it, somehow. I'm sure plenty of the members here know the details I am missing about that.

                        Marty did say that the whole Lego thing is not an issue now.
