Mego Clearance in 1983

[RSS]

A President's day sale after Mego's demise shows clearance pricing on everything, including the World's Greatest Superheroes! Sure, the ad shows Batman but I bet it was mostly Hulks.....

More...

I had oodles of Fast 111's...

[cjefferys]

Yeah, probably Hulks and Pin Pin FF, but that's still a hell of a deal.
Hmmm, didn't know that Mego made play cosmetics.

I believe I got most of the 7 Mego's I had on Clearance Somewhere's ...
I only had 7 of them,.. WGSH, all the More So Popular characters.
These Ads are neat stuff.

Wasn't Minium Wage like 2.75 or something though ? ... You would still have to work about an Hr to get something for 2 bucks ...

It's a shame I didn't start going to Kiddie City until '84.

Kiddie Cities are where I found lots of French Fantastic Fours (except for The Thing, which there was little of) and Spider-mans in the mid eighties. I think there were also a few Hulks as well.

I Think most of mine were clearenced figures as well . I have been told My Mom used to frequent Flea Market auctions are get oodles of this old stuff dirt cheap. I need to scan pics of me as kiddy with all these goodies.

Just like the sign read if we only knew then what we know now. It would have been the best darn $2.00 an hour anyone ever worked for.

Unfortunately for me the only clearance Mego's I ever got to buy was what I have found other people selling. Which is usually 100X's that sale price (or more) now.

[vulcan2074]

I'm hoping someone saw that sale and bought a bunch. Then held onto them for years. Then sells them at a garage sale with me being present. While were negotiating. There like yeah I bought these for like 2 bucks. So I'll sell them to your for a dollar. Now that would be Cool LOL. I can dream can't I.

I can't remeber seeing any Mego WGSH's on the shelf at all by 1983.

not really the dukes and chips figure on c9 cards are less then $50 each
eagle force $8-$20 i think the ninja is the rarest
the superheroes left at that time were probably spidey,hulk,superman,batman,robin and the fantastic four and maybe a capt in there. batman and superman moc might cost over $200 now but the rest won't. still i wouldn't mind going back in time and getting them for that price
