    Mego in the wild

    Did some hardcore flea marketing this weekend and was surprised at how much vintage I saw. Here are a few shots:



    This booth had some stuff I haven't seen in a flea market since the pre ebay days, including a Kresge carded Tarzan. Prices were pretty fair too, I was impressed. While in this booth, I heard two collectors talking about another flea market about 15 minutes away, so we headed over there.


    And ran into this dealer, who looked pretty happy to see people who understood vintage toys. His prices on the boxed WGSH were negotiable and many of them had vintage "Two Guys" tags, it was really tempting not to pick some up. He also had a good variety of loose figures including some Astro Apes. The Zira was the only thing over priced.




    On the way back home we hit up "Big B" comics in Hamilton, no vintage but a really nice selection of EMCE/Mattel and Bif Bang Pow stuff. Scored a Salt Vampire for $20, great figure!


    Also saw some WOZ figures and Playsets, a few AJ outfits, some loose treks.

    Anybody else find some Mego in the wild?

          I have got to get off my keister and visit the Nashville Flea Market.


          Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

            As much as I'm loving the Mego stuff in the first shot, the vintage Batman items directly below are giving me serious envy pangs!!!

            Thanks for sharing!

              You should! I was blown away by the amount of vintage toys available, it seems Ebay isn't the draw it once was.

              Didn't buy much but seeing all this stuff made the trip worthwhile.

                Very cool. The carded Conan would have gotten my attention. I don't think I've ever seen boots, a broom and outfits loose like that in the wild before.

                    Wow! You know those shots look like you were at a toy show. Our flea markets are all outside, and NOBODY brings cool stuff like that MIB. All the classic stuff I ever saw at a flea market was loose.

                        oh my goodness wish I was there, just seeing stuff like that is still out there gives hope to us that don't want to buy from Ebay.

                          I don't think I could have resisted those Two Guys stickers!!! I instantly recognized the "T" from their logo on that Joker. I have a soft spot for anythign from that store.

                          Go back and get them for me! NOW!
