Congrats on a nice pick up, I know Shazam and especially Green Arrow are not cheap. Hopefully your search for Dr. Fate will be sooner than later. I’m guessing you already have the Batman bunch?

Thanks,

Yeah, I bought a few small collection when avaible to make a base. Batman is a must. Was lucky to find most local and online at decent prices. Its just the usual suspect that are harder to find. I dont understand why these demand so much money, do they not have the same production quantity ?

I havent read up on everything yet as to understand was so scarce, someone has to know ?

Once I find Dr. Fate, i`ll feel better knowing I`m up to date on the super hero side of things. I`m catching up on the others lines also...

There is a lot of different Mego figures out there ! Big collection.

I'm surprised that Shazam is expensive: I would have though he would have been produced in higher numbers, especially with the Saturday morning show.

Was there any Production numbers ever announced on these? Were they all the same accross the board ?

I’m not sure production numbers have anything to do with it but maybe?

When these figures were released they all cost the same, maybe yes, more Batman-Robin and Superman figures were produced than Shazam and Green Arrow or even Flash for that matter, but the cost for each figure was the same in store.

If you were lucky enough to get to Walmart the first day they were stocked, I’m guessing you probably would’ve seen more selection of Batman, Robin and Superman on the pegs, than say Aquaman or Shazam.

I remember when the 50th anniversary WGSH were released, I searched my local Walmarts and couldn’t find them, either in the toy section or electronic section, I really wanted a Shazam. I couldn’t understand why my local Walmarts didn’t have any?

They sold fast on line, but each figure to my memory cost the same, unfortunately for me, I wasn’t able to pick up a Shazam, I think what was left were a few Superman and Robin’s, I’m guessing RC Batman was the first to sell out.

It’s because of the greedy sellers on ebay some probably warehouse workers, grabbing what they could and sell them on ebay for double to triple the price, knowing online websites were selling out fast. Also store shoppers who sleep out in the parking lots in their cars, hit the stores first thing and grab bunches of these figures and then maybe wait a month or until the websites and stores are sold out of them, and sell on ebay.

Green Arrow came out later just like he did back in the day, I really don’t even know if he was ever available in stores?
selling out fast on website stores, and selling on ebay for absolutely ridiculous prices, the sellers don’t care, there hoping you want it bad enough to buy it at triple or even 4 times the price, just like scalping a ticket to a game or concert.
