Came here via the customs forum, then branched out to others and got sucked back in to Mego collecting.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

My sister found my childhood Megos in my mom's attic and I wanted to fix them up... so a google search brought me here. The amount of information and the repair tutorials are so great. I started reading the forums for more tips, after about 6-8 months, I figure I should step out of the shadows and join in.
The reason I come back and read everyday? The community!Comment

I came here to find info about this weird Batman doll I got for my birthday. Why I'm still here? God only knows
Seriously tho, talking to you guys is like a daily ritual. I've come to consider many here close personal friends, even tho I haven't met most of them. Being a Batman fan is what brought me here, but it's the cool and generous members that keep me here"...The agony of my soul found vent in one loud, long and final scream of despair..." - Edgar Allan PoeComment

I collect alot of toys: Mego, GI Joe (12in and RAH), Big Jim, 6 Million Dollar Man, Stikfas and all things Superman...
So to further my collecting purposes, I searched the internet. During one of my searches I found the museum and bookmarked it as a mego resource.
I would come and go, looking stuff up when I needed to. After a while I started lurking in the forums for more info, or advise on ebay listings that may be iffy... then I got tricked into joining by being offered a set of Star Trek cards if I did. Figuring my husband would love them, I did. Oddly enough, that's how I got suckered into signing up for a bunch of credit cards back in my college years. Free tshirts and cookies are never free when offered by Capital One!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

lol not sure if it's the one you started, but I remember some of those SW vs. ST topics got pretty heated
there's a few of us from rebelscum who got tired of the iron fist rules and now hang out at toytraderz.com, we'd love to have you join in over there,
and anyone else who would like to join It can't beat the Museum for membership size and friendliness, but still a nice place.Comment

i was at the MC (I looked at the MM from time to time but it looked big and scary) when my friend got banned for not liking Billy Joel and I followed him here. I'm not really a forum kind of guy but found this place to be my home.sigpicComment

I came here 1 year ago today, my girl friend bought me a custom 8 inch mego Flash, at that time i only had the Star Trek mego figures from my childhood and know nothing about custom figures and i didn't remember a Flash figure being made , so i did a search and ended up here why am i still here? because i always learn something new and i'm addicted to MegosComment

I love megos, and that is why I came here. But I stay because there is just no better group of people on the net. That is what made me come back here after taking a break for a few years, and hopefully I'll be smart and never leave this forum or mego collecting again. It was so great when I came back to see that a bunch of regulars were still around from when I was here before, and also to see the new members that just fit right in. We mego collectors are a great groupComment

I got my first computer almost ten years ago. I had been buying Toyfare magazine around that time and loved their "Twisted Mego Theater" strip, so I started looking for information on Mego figures almost at once. I had owned a few Megos as a child, and had bought several of the Star Trek Mego figures as an adult, so I was already familiar with the name. I found the original Museum site, and the links from there led me to Jason DeWitt's old site, the Levy list, and the old IRC channel. I was on the Levy list the last few months it existed, though I don't remember posting a great deal in those days. I remember chatting with ABMAC once or twice in the IRC Mego room. When the Levy list ended, I was on both Joe and Dean Verge's Yahoo Groups, and I also frequented the RTM Mego boards. It was there that my trademarked "Crappy Flea List" and "Crappy Sale List" were born. Like many newbies, I was offering to trade tired junk for the good stuff, and a poster there flamed me for it, wanting to know why newbies were always trying to trade "crap" like I was offering at the time. I just took the name and ran with it When it was announced that RTM was pulling the plug on their Mego boards, Joe set up the first Mego Museum forum, and I was one of the original group of members who joined that first week. To date, I've been a member of just about every Mego forum that's existed in the last ten years, with one Majorly Crummy exception.

I bought some Megos on eBay and started searching Google for info on Mego. I found the Museum, and lurked for about a year before joining. The information on Megos is unmatched here. The galleries are awesome. The customs, the new discoveries...all top notch. And the people. It's the sense of community and a shared passion that I love here. That's why I'm here. It's home.
