    Mego in the wild whilst making a delivery...

    I usually don't make deliveries for the Plumbing Supply company I work for but today I had to make a run out to East Setauket out here on Long Island. On the way back from the delivery I made a stop at one of my old thrift stores that I used to go to and came across this bad boy in a bag of toys:



    No shield...but it was well worth the slight detour I took coming back from the delivery. This is the second 3 3/4 cap I have found in a thrift store. Found a Pocket Heroes cap about 7 or 8 years ago at a thrift store that was affiliated with the one I found this CAH Cap at. This is the 3rd Mego I have found in these 2 thrift store in 10 years that I have been going to them. Keep looking...you'll eventually find that Mego in the wild.

    BTW, also picked up a VHS copy of the movie Houdini with Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh...I don't think it's available here in the US on DVD. Not a bad day...and the grand total...$1.61 with tax included
    "When not too many people can see we're all the same
    And because of all their tears,
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity".
