    question about LJN Emergency figures

    I'm getting the bug to buy me a set of Emergency figures. Whats a good price for the figures and the truck?


    Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

    Trucks can run you $75-$100 loose. Boxed are very rare to find. Carded figures are anywhere from $40-$50. Tan jacket variations have run higher. Loose Blue ones in mint condition will run about $20. Tan $30. There are also head variations though I don't know that anyone is rarer than the others. The jacket variations (Blue or Tan) are the bigger deal. I've actually never looked into whether both heads are available in both jacket colors.
    It's not a doll it's an action figure.

        It's funny about a year and a half ago DaveMc and I had a thread discussion about these guys. Emergency, Rookies, and SWAT. I had already pretty much finished my collection and we were discussing the variations. Dave actually has a very cool pic of all the heads that is very helpful. He posted the pic and the thread went for a couple of pages. Prices on these guys went through the roof almost immediately. I mean like double literally overnight. I think it was the "power of the Mego Museum" that caused the price flux. Could have been a coincidence...I guess. I'll look for the pic if I can find it. I might have saved it on one of my external drives.

          I'm still looking for the Early Hondo if anyone has one. Even just a head is fine.

                I had all of these as a kid except the rookies and the swat guys i bought 5 sets of extra gear so they all had the holsters. i let them all go in a tag sale for $25 about twenty five years ago. now i trying to buy them again. i finally got a Luca to finish my swat team, but they don't have holsters!

                  The last few ebay Emergency trucks I've seen have gone for over $150, though figures came with. I think there've been two this year so far that I've seen.

                    A carded Ryker broke $100 last week. $113 I think it was. I grabbed my loose one from Hulk last year at the meet. That is probably the hardest figure to find in the 3 lines. Like the Sarge from the Chips line and Dobey from S&H. Must be an old cops thing.

                      I have the early hondo and street that I use for redshirts and I have a bunch of these heads on mego trek bodies that are more redshirts. I dont have mcCabe or riker though and I don't think I have the Luca head but I will look again cause they look so much alike.

                          In case anyone missed my note above; I'm still looking for an early Hondo head.
                          I've also seen some variants on the hair colors on these guys. some have lighter color or darker and the later Hondo has a couple diff variations. Plus I think some may be susceptible to "ghosting" like the Mego Little Rascals heads.

                            Emergency Truck Variation

                            Wish I still had them, but my brother and I each had the Emergency! Rescue 51 truck as kids but they were different. Mine had the square lights, that matched the truck on the show, my brother's though had the same light bar with siren that was used on the rookies police car. Good luck finding either of them though.
