My nephew has Mego envy

[jwyblejr]

My nephew came over the other day with one of those Superman figures from Dollar General and one of those Spiderman's that come on a motorcycle. He thought he had something special I guess until he saw my Megos of those two.

funny thing is they will get some of your old toys when you kick off or everything is sold to put you in a home.

I have all sorts of little cousins, older cousin'skids etc. and when they see my collections, they always seem to ask I can have them when you die sooner or later

it's fun to see a kids jaw drop when they see my collection, and then it's a nightmare trying to get them out of the room lol lol. I keep small items on hand to give to kids, it really helps at times

yeah I am the same way . My three year old sees the 6' falcon, speeder bike pedal car and the large naboo fighter and always wants to ride them for some reason. That's part of the reason I have three storage buildings with everything stored and only a little out for general viewing. oneday they will al be his or i might decide to bury them all with me like an egyptian god...LOL

He's 4 so it's funny when he ohhhs and ahhhs when I bring out the different ones from my collection.

I've given away a couple of "fixer upper" Superman and Batman Megos to young relatives in recent times. I don't criticize the modern toy industry for their advancements in tooling and everything, but it's amazing how a modern day 4 or 5 year old boy will still get a huge smile when handed a Mego Superman and play with it for hours. I think it's a testament to what fantastic toys Mego created over 30 years go, they still appeal to kids.

I know. The boy I babysit, Zachary, loves my Star Trek and POTA figures. he says stuff like, "I could play w/ these all day!" Gotta love that!

My 10 yr old Nephew gave my extra Spiderman and Superman a workout over the Thanksgiving holiday. I was amazed that 30 yr old toys could still take the punishment of kid play.
