    I'm zeroing in on finishing loose examples of complete WGSH, Star Trek, West, Starsky & Hutch, Space 1999, Robin Hood, Knights, and Pirates figure sets. I need a few WGSH figs and a Pirates Jean, and mostly just acces. parts for the other lines. I've wrapped up POTA as well whenever I find a pair of silver ape gloves.

    I only have a Mummy for Monsters, but I'm only going for T2 examples, so I'll have to find Palitoy versions.

    At the end of the day I'm probably not going for a run of Waltons, Our Gang, or Happy Days, and I'm staying out of Dinah and AJ as well. I'll pretty much try for all other 8" figs.

    I'm sure once I've hit all my main collection holes (zorro and such may take a while) the custom factory will get insane (because it will) - but I'll start being more focused on remego then too. I'm never going to be a packaged guy, unless the art is cool and the price is low.

      When I hear collect em all, I always think of one person. I am not sure if everything in his books was his, but John Bonavita looked to collect them all. He truly collected Mego toys and is the most extensive "Mego" collection I have ever seen.

        I used to collect WGSH only and then one day 'Larry' sold me a case fresh AJ mib and I have been hoarding AJs ever since. Also in lean times, its fun to collect something more affordable, those WGSHs are darn expensive.

          I might add that I have never owned a Mego Star trek or POTA figure So its safe to say that i will probably be collecting these for the rest of my life.

            I like to spread the love around to all things Mego. My collection is relatively small at this point, but consists of WGSH, Oz, POTA, Waltons, Happy Days, AJ, Dinah-mite. I don't know if I will ever be able to "collect them all", but I would if I could!

              My collection is a bit of everything, but so far it's:
              Trek (have all)
              POTA (missing astronaut)
              WGSH (have all Marvels and five from Batman)
              Knights (missing Galahad)
              Robin Hood (all)
              Pirates (have all without clothes, don't ask!)
              Monsters (all)

              It's a varied bunch!!!

                I want it all. Simple and greedily plain

                I have made a pretty good dent into the 8" lines, but I have yet to really dive into the non-hero non-8" lines. I guess the fun is that my Mego collecting can continue for many, many more years.
