New Mego Acquisitions? Got any?

[Frenchy99]

I just did 2 Wallmarts.

The closest I came to a Mego was a little kid cross legged cying out Mee Go, Mee Go...

My Walmarts are pitiful, but I'd love to get a Zombie, too. One of my favorite Hammer films.

My Walmart just redid there action figures and they got in Megos:

Oh wow, never seen any Mego at WallMart.

Great score ! I would have bought them also.

Might have to go to all my local Wallmarts. to check.

I would pick up 4 or 5 of those Zombies.

Very cool... The Walmarts around here are *very* hit 'n miss as far as carrying any Megos. We have three Walmarts in the area, and I only seen Mego figures at one of them, and even then, it is/was very sporadic.

Great find! I have a set myself and was really surprised by how much gear each came with.

I didn't know they existed until a few years ago when Hasbro Pulse sent me a marketing email hyping that they were having a sale. I checked it out and decided to buy something. So I then clicked on the 'Outlet' section of their store just in case there might be anything else I might want. And I saw these! And they were indeed $15....

From my personal perspective, the only real 'downside' aspect of this set is that there were never any other GI Joes made in this Mego style. (I would've been thrilled to buy a Destro, to name just one.)

(All of the above suggests that they likely didn't sell well, unfortunately.)

These were made using the first version of the bandless bodies right? The shorter ones?

My Figures from the States finally got here !

Bought them 26 July and received them today. Thats service... lol

Happy that they finally showed up, this fills up a few spots in my 50th line up.

I would love to have more GIJoe in the Mego format. A full set like the 90s 12 inch series wouldhave been amazing. Opens up for customs.

I need to find my box of customs I made over 25 years ago. I loved this hobby so much in the past.

Surprised you only bought one at $15, I would have picked up min 6. Just in bodies and gear, great deal.

Found these yesterday night !

Came across a 1 year old local sales add for one of these G.I. Joe set and contacted the seller to see if this was still available. He replied he still had a few sets left !

Found these yesterday night !

Came across a 1 year old local sales add for one of these G.I. Joe set and contacted the seller to see if this was still available. He replied he still had a few sets left ! So I negotiated with him and bought the remaining 3 sets he had. He told me these where not available in Canada and that he had to order 1 caisse of them to get them. Plus the seller was 5 minutes from me ! a no brainer...

I read on the forum that these were on liquidation at $15 a set so I would assume he bought these back then. I am happy since did not have them and being in Canada makes my chances of getting them even less likely.

So these are the (little poeple) in the Mego line ups. Lots of bad reviews on the forum on theses but man do they have nice accesories.

When I think about it, you guys in the States are lucky to get stuff like this for $15. Just Wow...

ZLC was/is having a flash sale on modern Mego figures: BOGO. Though their remaining inventory is a little thin.

While I never watched Star Trek after the pilot (1987?) for Next Generation, I did like the original Shatner/Nimoy show and their movies. Nonetheless, I just bought 2 Topps X Mego Star Trek figures, spurred by this sale: Borg Queen and Quark.

I know 'of' the Borg and thought the 'more deluxe' Topps version of the Borg Queen (with digital circuitry printed on her black outfit) looked cool. And the more deluxe Topps version of Quark looked cool as well, despite my only knowledge of that name/character being one night in Las Vegas in the late 1990s, when I was there with a group of guy friends to party the night away at various casino nightclubs. But first, everyone else (other than me) wanted to gamble. So I 'killed' those hours by walking through various exhibit halls at various casinos, including a Star Trek exhibit at, if memory serves, the International. That exhibit, which had a lot of original costumes and props in glass cases, was cool enough to pass some time enjoyably. It ended at a replica of 'Quark's Bar,' which the (human) bartender explained to me was featured in one of the sequel TV shows. He pointed me to a picture of Quark for reference. Now,. nearly 30 years later, I happily bought the Mego figure at an excellent sale price. That said, after the BOGO discount, I am 99% sure this Quark figure cost me less today than one novelty, named cocktail at Quark's Bar in LV circa 1998.

It was a promotional item made for toy buyers.

Got an amazing bit of Mego eagleforcemug.jpg history as a gift from a friend!

Quite unique! Is there a story attached to it? Was it an in-house sort of item?
