Mego Warehouse Mystery Solved… Or Is It?

[LOU]

Perhaps next time you guys can go scrape some of the paint off the wall mural and see if you can see an older layer of paint underneath...

[Tothiro]

mural Itself could have been painted over, thats not uncommon.

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.

And just think there was rumored that there was a whole pallet of boxes on that fork lift when they walled it up.

Maybe Geraldo can do a special on Breaking into the Mego vault.

Gentlemen bring the pick axes.

LOL! I know! Can you imagine that?! That would be something.
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?

Probably a rat with a little corner of a superman cape hanging out of his mouth

Awesome, guys!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm sure most of us would like to have gone along with you.

Nice call on wearing suits. If there is one thing I have learned over the years, a suit gives you instant cred.

Did you refer to each other as Mr. Pink and Mr. Brown?

i'm dreaming, like the rest of you, of what lurks in the tunnel . . . . .

a building that size fulled with megos (everyday) think about that before you bid big money on ebay. i imagine a character like sups or spidey was made maybe 350,000 over. less popular heroes like green arrow or ironman maybe 100,000? i'm sure aleast 15,-18,000 are in mint shape today.

This is a great pictoral story!!! Really awesome thread! I can imagine both of you guys peeking down every aisle looking for the familiar "M" logo on a box! Can you imagine finding some dusty, old box of carded Megos...untouched since the day they were packed for shipment?!

i sure can ...

its a very exiting moment for sure

i suppose im one of the rare few

finding a dusty box of any old toy is a buzz and a half

ive found rotj carded action figures, motu carded figures, wgsh moc to say the least lol

very exiting

great story by the way, ive never been to usa or canada as yet, but trust me ill find something there, normally its right under your noses

[mitchedwards]

Great pics and story. Another chapter in the history of Mego.

[SUPERUNDERDOGGIE]

You know...I actually have a lot of real estate contacts in Manhattan....I just never thought of it. I'll tackle this and report back.

[megoscott]

Sure...well, if anything, maybe some pictures of the outside, or find the deli or diner that's been there since the 60's that you just know Neal and Marty would've ordered from....

[SUPERUNDERDOGGIE]

Nice suits, guys! Those pictures are so fantastic. What a great adventure. How crazy are we that we thrill to something so completely mundane? The paneling, the concrete, the shelves...

Do the Manhatten offices still exist?

That's a great question. They're still there but it being Manhattan where a lot of leases are 5 years or less I can only imagine how many tenants have been in those buildings since 1982. Also, not only would you need the address which I think we have or can get...but you would need the exact floor and suites. Interesting idea....Bill, you ready to go out again? LOL
