    Hello! Help me!

    Hello there! My name is Jason and I have been a member here for a few years but, have never posted anything (don't know why). Anyway I started collecting Mego superheroes a couple of years ago when I stumbled across them on ebay! I have to say I have been hooked since.
    When I heard that Dr Mego had performed a miracle and got Mattel to launch a megoesque range of superheroes I was determined to get these figures.
    My problem is that I live in the UK and although i've read lots of information online about the launch in the U.S through Toys R Us, i've found no information about if they will be launched here too!
    Help a mego head out guys, any information greatly recieved.
    Best wishes,
    Jason.

    Belated welcome Jason, I've not heard anything for distribution of the Mattel re-Mego figures here in the UK, but I know Toystalker has listed some on his website, heres the link. DC Retro Action Figures : 80s Toyshop, Vintage Collectable Toys

        That may be true, but maybe you can pick them up online?

          Sure, and just add $10 to $15 for shipping... takes the fun right out of it

            These international shippers sure love to gouge people, don't they?

            All kidding aside, that's the only way I can think of for you to get your hands on these.

                I think shipping from the US is expensive. It cost me $25 to send a small box to my Mum in Australia a couple of days ago (more than the box contents). The prices have really gone up in the last few years. I used to order heaps of stuff from the States but now rarely do as the prices are just crazy.

                  Yep.
                  Unless these figures get released in stores in Europe (Forbidden Planet, perhaps), you can easily expect a $30+ price range.

                  Personally, I think robbing banks will probably help me to get my collection going....
