    Not sure if I dreamed this but I kinda remember Mego Central actually starting over a large S Superman dispute.

    Was that true or are my brains going to mush ?

      Dust this "plug" for finger prints. I think I know who pulled it, Briiiiian.
      If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

        I found them first as well. It wasn't long after i found this place that i realized it was much better here. Jerk owner who's name i won't mention had some very bad posts about a fine member here and seemed to just be hateful. I never looked back. I did make some really good buys over there when i first got there from a guy named rebel ray. He hooked me up on about 10 really nice mego's. All i remember is his forum name. I don't know if he is a member here.

              Yeah, there's few jerk members around and Robert the owner of MC he likes to control to his members... included me.

              I was going to delete my accout there but I'm glad it's gone. I've known Rebel Ray (aka rebelray84) is a old member of our 1st old Mego Museum forum that he've been banned for reason he broke the MM forum rules.....

                  I can't remember why I was banned, but you can be sure it was for something stupid. But I did meet some nice people there though...Tony (RIP) and Rudy and Jay. They were nice to me. And there were some good pics there. But it wasn't meant to be. Mego Museum is meant to be, and I'm glad I'm HERE!

                    Back in early May of this year I found a link to the MC site and applied for membership. Days later, I still kept getting 'your account is being reviewed's. I started a thread, in the General Buzz board, asking how long should I wait. Many good members here told me not to waste my time.
                    Since you're new here, I won't make any jokes about the MM used as MC costomer service department.

                      Actually Sean Griffin was the original owner of the site . . . at some point he sold it to Laurie Halbritter and she in turn sold it to Optimus Roback . . . . Not sure why he bought it other than to do what he does best, self promote . . .

                        I didn't think there was any requirement to sell in the marketplace. We have had sellers with one post sell there. That one post was their for sale post.

                          Yep, this is true - because that was me (Sean) that started Mego Central (like in 1998). Laurie wound up buying it for my site hosting fees for 2 years ($60) in like 2002. I just didnt really see the need to keep it going with the Mego Museum being so much better. When I started it the site was mainly for variants and lines not yet in the Museum (fully). The Museum soon expanded (and really was way better than I could do) so I was going to let it die or have someone take it over. She seemed to do a lot of work to it early on, not sure what happened after that though.

                          I still dont have access to the Mego Marketplace though (despite the fact that single posters have access). Maybe that is my punishment for starting Mego Central?

                            Oh, didn't know that was you. Yesterday I found out your MC forum still there and noticed it blocked me to view his forum and said that I have to log in, I knew Roback wanted to keep it private. Nobody can see his entire forum, I've been tried to log in and delete my account, it keeps blocking me out....

                                I have noticed the Megos and More site has zero activity these days too

                                I was a member there for years and witnessed those "things" and was banned for exposing it somehow...weird things that today I still can't explain...maybe it's the Twilight Zone...
