    Mego repro in England / UK

    Hi everyone! I'm a new poster, but have been using Mego Museum for many months for reference. I began my collection about a year ago after a great car boot / yard sale find, and haven't looked back! My first thread then... I'm from England and would like to use some repro to complete some of my figures, or even begin customising. Does anyone know of anyone in the UK who sells or produces? The cost of postage from the States is pretty off-putting. Look forward to speaking to you all, happy MEGO-ing!

    Welcome aboard. I'm in Belgium and I often have repro of custom parts shipped to me from various people and sources in the US and for smaller parts the costs for shipping ain't all that bad actually.

      Welcome, from one of your America Cousins(sorry about the whole Revolution thing)! As for Customizing...one of our members "Other Dude" is in the UK, and has some great Custom Heads.

        You won't find everything you're looking for in regards to repro parts but you can't beat CTVT stuff for the money. I don't know what their international shipping costs are, though.
        Welcome. If you're near other members over there you might want to look into sharing a shipment with someone else to save money.

          That's good advice!

            Hi fellow countryman. Welcome to the boards.
            The postage on most smaller items from the US isn't too bad. Just be aware of stuff on Ebay - usually the seller uses the postage calculator which is a parcel rate. I often find a quick message to them to ask about USPS 1st class usually has the desired effect of dropping the costs a lot.

                  CTVT is great! I felt like a kid in a sweetshop! Postage is a bit of a pain again though at a 20 dollar minimum postage cost, and a 35 dollar minimum product spend.

                    I ship via air mail outside the U.S. - it is the most cost effective, but there
                    is no way to track the package.

                      Never had a complaint before with Dr. Mego. And his stuff is the best out there
