    Sad story of my MEGO Spock.

    I had Mego Superheroes a a kid. I was a Superfriends fan untill Star Wars came out and everyone went nuts.

    I remember mom thinking it was strange I would strip my new guys whenever I got one. I still do to this day. I also remember Spidermans head was so nice and chewy. I used to sit and gnaw on it a lot.

    One holiday my Uncle and Aunt gave me a Spock and Kirk. I thought What the Heck? And tossed them in a corner somewhere.

    I found Spocks tricorder on a shelf in the bathroom years later and put him all back together and took him to school with me. 3rd grade. We had a bunch of thefts and at Lunchtime the teacher told us to put anything valuable someplace safe. I shoved Spock headfirst down my pants .

    The teacher didnt like this and took him away. I did not get him back.

    Our elementary and middle schools were in the same building. By the time I was in eigth grade I knew Spock was a collectable.

    I went back to her and told her what happened and said I wanted him back.

    She laughed at me opened her desk drawer and it was full of other toys . No spock.

    Her name was Mrs Haggedorn and if shes not dead by now You bet your molded blue butt shes getting rich on Ebay now.

      I lost a Shipwreck and BBQ (GI Joes) that way.

      I hope elementary school teachers know they're on "The List".

        Don't think she'll be taking a Bahamas cruise or anything by selling your Spock on ebay.
        Now if she kept your Romulan...

          "Haggedorn" even sounds evil, like a race of malicious aliens from an episode of TOS.

          "Vengeance of the Haggedorn"
          "Planet of the Haggedorn"
          "Et Tu, Haggedorn?"

            Hey remember she had a WHOLE DRAWER full of toys. ANd she had been a teacher for a LONG time. SHe was old when my brother had her 9 years earlier.

            Those toys were probably mint too.

            Got a new toy? First thing you do is take it to school.

                Awesome story!

                I'm going to suggest this plan to recent grads going into teaching. It will take some time, but you can add some extra income after 10 years or so. AND once you get going, the cycle can continue.
                WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.
