Ghost town as far as Megos go here on Long Island. Been that way for 3 years on the south shore.
As far as comic shops are concerned...Diamond has been out of the picture for almost a year now as being the monopoly it once was. Yet the Mego Corporation still hasn't reached out to comic shops. Just laziness on the sales / marketing of these figures. If it was me in Marketing or Sales I would grab that little "retailers" book and start making phone calls....but it seems they can't be bothered with actually doing the leg work. Pretty pathetic. Seriously, they are cutting their noses off to spite their face. There is no more red tape to go through anymore with Diamond out of the picture...yet there is not one comic store that carries these. It's a no brainer and it is a way to cut out the middle man. Guess Mego doesn't want to make more money. I've seen bad ebay sellers do more work than Mego is doing or has done in the last year. Pathetic.
