    OK, instead of the jaw it was an iron man boot.

    seriously tho. That is the fun bit of junking and I think everyone was well treated for the price. Some Biz and a little work with the iron and you may be surprised with what you got.

      Wise4671 - Thanks! I'm delighted with my take and still poking through it as I write this!

      Rche - Agreed! I had hoped that there might be some MORE goodies for my fellow members to partake in, but dammit I'm so GREEDY when it comes to my Mego stuff! I DID end up with some stuff for the C.H.I.P.S. fans and A.J. fans though...and maybe a few WGSH bits to spare as well. (If anyone wants such things as a Green Arrow pack missing the straps? ...I have a nice Dr. Mego one, so...)

      Early Christmas here for me!

            Thanks everyone!

            Megomania - Yes...and after a few minutes, the guy got up and locked the door..then asked us if it was OK if he took his shirt off....then he poured us some drinks and started the video camera....
            Seriously, I didnt even bother to bring our camera...its a piece of crap...you have all seen pictures from it....

              Congrats, Krush. It's awesome to find Megos in the wild, and for such a good price too! Nice score!

                        I love Mego in the Wild stories! Thanks for sharing.

                          Sounds like he had a box of old toys whose condition was not the best. Would have taken too much time and effort to sell them piece by piece. Sounds like a good guy too as he didn't want an absurd price. Lots of custom fodder there and a great adventure too. Congrats.
                          Too many toys. Not enough space!

                              Thanks everyone...it really WAS a great THRILL for me! Now, I have to actively search-out private sales and soforth...try and make some connections locally maybe...
                              (Hey, I bought two Zeroid robots from a man that lives only a few minutes away, and they are far more scarce than many Megos, so ya never know...)

                              I did something rather embarassing.....when I got up to have a leak in the night, I actually had to come out to the living room and "check" the stuff I got yesterday...I suppose to make sure it wasnt a 'dream'! Crazy....


                              I will of course be passing on any extras that I dont care for here in the market area...."spreading the 70s love butter".....
