An odd little piece of Mego history today, looks like somebody got the big payday of forty two smackers from the electronics division of Mego.

One man's trash is another man's lunatic obsession. Click on the image for a larger look (if your heart can take it)

I think this is from the lot I tried to win a bit back. Glad to see another person here won it.

Hope they didn't spend it all in one place.

Sammy, hopefully you meant the 8" figures and not Mego's stock options in the 80's

$42 back then isn't the same as $42 now
Not saying it was a fortune, but still...

If I would have had $42 in 1978, I would have thought I was rich! I could have bought so many toys! Now it'll buy me 3 DC Universe figures and a DVD from the $5 bin.

This is a cool piece of Mego history! In a "lunatic obsession" kind of way. But hey, I'm a fellow "lunatic obsess-or" myself.
