    RIP Robert Levy : The Creator of the Mego Mailing List

    We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Robert Levy. Robert created the Mego Mailing list in the dial-up days of the internet and, in doing so, built the online Mego Community we have today.

    In that selfless act (he paid for the whole thing out of pocket), he united so many people who shared their knowledge and passion. The "Levy list," as it was known, was where a guy named Paul first announced he was now "Dr Mego", where we met lifelong friends, ended up doing Mego conventions and casting heads in our garage.

    Most of all, we dreamed of the return of Mego, and I don't know where we would all be without his actions and kindness.

    He exited collecting some time ago, but his impact is everywhere.

    Rest in Peace, dear friend.

    Sincerely,

    Your friends at the MegoMuseum​

    This is really sad to hear. I was on the Levy List. I anxiously looked forward to reading it for years, and it ignited my passion for collecting in general, and Mego in particular. I never met Robert, but he always seemed like a nice guy, with a strong sense of perspective and passion for our hobby. He kept that list going through a lot of nonsense from us, and maintained his humor while doing it. RIP, Robert. Thank you for all you did for Mego.

          I only got into Mego with the relaunch in 2018...but It sounds like I have him to thank for this great welcoming community....
          May he rest in peace with the other cool collectors and enthusiasts.
