    Boxes or cards?

    Which ones did you get as a kid? I don't remember one of my Mego figures coming on a card. I seriously think every Mego I had was boxed. What about you?

    Window Boxes for sure. I remember other kids getting Megos on cards, but wherever my mom got mine (the Biway?), they were boxed.

      Both!

      I prefered and still prefer the boxes. I got my first Batman, Superman, Robin, Penguin and Joker in boxes. I later got a few carded figures. A replacement Penguin, Hulk, Superman on cards....then the huge 1980ish find of boxed GA, Catwoman and Aquaman. My Falcon came from Heroes World in a bubble envelope with no packaging at all.

        Never had any as a kid. But given a chance I would've gone for boxed, it's easier to put them back when you're done playing

          That's exactly what I did. My GA, Aquaman and Catwoman still have their boxes.

            I only bought carded figures because I often saw kids opening and playing with the boxed figures while their mom's shopped. I would see store employees putting them back into the boxes and I wanted to make certain that the figures I bought were brand new and had never been played with by snotty nosed brats.

              I still find the same problem today with boxed MEGOs.
              No exclusives and no chase figures, please - I'm Canadian!

                As one of those Snotty Nosed Brats, I give a heartfelt apology on our behalf!

                  I got both. I remember getting Shazam and Torch boxed and Mxy carded in the same Christmas. I also remember cutting up the boxes to get the side pics. I stil have the very ones I cut out.

                    Window boxed for the majority of my Megos. Might have gotten a few carded, but not many.

                      carded all the way. I still remember what they looked like wrapped under the Christmas tree.
                      Fresh, not from concentrate.

                        All mine were boxed. I don't remember carded Megos at all.

                          Windowed box here.
                          I still can recall the site of going to Zodys in L.A. and seeing stacks and stacks of those colorful sweet looking boxes.
                          Hollywood Toys also had a HUGE stack of them. It was like walking into a candy shop and they had ALL of them.
                          Never got a carded MEGO in my life.
