New Mego Acquisitions? Got any?

[Dan2Dan]

FYI: on DeepDiscount.com, the Mego WGSH 50th Ridder is currently $7.72. (Free shipping over $25.)

I am not, as a general rule, an MIB collector. But I do have eight Mego WGSH 50th figures MIB. So, when DeepDiscount also sent me an additional discount code, I bought a Riddler just now. (Now, maybe if I go into my local Ross, I will find the WGSH Penguin for $6, which I have seen on YouTube multiple times recently.)

I'm quoting myself because this morning turned out to be a very lucky day for me. I had to start my day unusually early with a stop at Home Depot. Since a Target is a few doors down, I stopped in, looking for the ever-elusive Spin Master Retro Superman movie figures. This was, like, 7:30 AM, the earliest I'd ever been in a Target. And to my amazement, they had them all.

So then, a couple of hours later, I was stopping at a local grocery store. In the same mall complex, there is a Ross. But I almost never go in there. (Maybe once every couple of years.) I've ducked in at Christmas a few times, and there was always nothing much there, toy/figure-wise. But recently, I'd seen a few YouTube videos of people at Ross finding the Mego WGSH Penguin. Since I had had very unusual luck earlier that morning at Target, I decided to go in. And to my utter amazement, they had one. For $4.99. Mego at Ross. It was real.

So now, when the Riddler arrives in the mail, I'll have 10 of the modern WGSH in those really cool retro boxes. This Penguin isn't strictly 'MIB,' but it is, I suppose, 'Very Good In Box,' and that's good enough for me. So in the end, I managed to get the Penguin and the Riddler to go along with the Joker. (The others I have are heroes.)

Scouring Brimfield as usual three times a year for the past 30 years since my military days and found the Removable mask Robin head which never seemed possible..

As many of you probably already know, ZLC Collectibles is running a Labor Day (in America) sale this weekend, including 40% off their current stock of Mego figures.

Like many of you, I presume, I received a marketing email from ZLC about this sale. I am a multiple repeat happy customer over several years.

I just bought: (1) Rocky Balboa in training gear (a ZLC exclusive) in damaged packaging, (2) Zira in 'human pants suit' from "Escape" (thus completing my modern PotA Mego collection, I believe), and (3) Mego x Topps Hammer Mummy variant with shiny pecs (presumably mirroring the vintage movie poster).

From my personal perspective, I thought these three figures, already discounted and now an additional 40% off, were a really great deal. None of them are 'high demand' figures, obviously. But my personal barometer for purchases like this is whether I am excited to get them, and I definitely am!

You picked up a nice score of figures, I myself need to get the EMCE Cheron, that would give me the complete EMCE Star Trek aliens villains collection.

Thanks,

I havent been lucky on the EMCE front so far, I think that I only have 4 figures in the Star Trek series.

It was a fluke that the seller still had a Cherron, he told me it was a double that the other buyer passed on.

Best of luck on your search.

The Star Trek figures com from a market place sales ad, seller also had all the EMCE Star Trek figures but those were already sold before reached out to him or else I would have bought them all also. Wasnt fast enough.

Been looking everywhere for figures, sometimes I get lucky.

Been Looking for a complete list of all the 19 waves of figures that came out, only found partial list.

Oh, okay. You're hitting it good alright

^^^^^ Frenchy99, Congrats on the scores.

Were the Star Trek figures from a flea market too, or only the stuff in the second post?

Cool that it included the box.

One thing about the Treehouse box: I always thought it was funny that they show Zira on the side panel of the box along with the other four characters, but they don't include her in the display with the assembled Treehouse. (Same deal with the Village too IIRC.)
