Question is, does it make sense that anyone would seal a tunnel with a forklift in there much less one with a pallet of old stock on it?Comment

That would actually make more sense, wouldn't it? That a giant mural of company specific stuff might have been there (who knows - Superman? Ape Soldiers? Marty's smiling face?), but then gotten covered over when the new tenant moved in by a generic "morale booster" painting.Comment

Well gang...apparently we spoke too soon....there IS evidence that Mego was there. Our contact at the warehouse sent us two photos this morning of Rubber Shipping Stamp imprints that he found on the wall since our visit.
Here's the first....to the JC Penny Catalog Center
Here is the second...to Montgomery Ward Store #8200
What's interesting is that these are obviously rubber stamps but are hand written."God has put definite limits on the heights of man's wisdom, but no limits to the depths of his stupidity"Comment

So....I'm going through my old toy trade magazines and I find this ad for warehouse space in Brentwood, NY. Is this ad the very one that Mego responded to when they needed more space? I dunno but I thought the coincidence was pretty crazy. This was a 1977 Ad but I see it in other years too.

Great story! You guys should have taken pics of the wood paneling by itself...then we all could have made custom Mego Office playsets....Comment
