    Megos (and more) in the Wild!

    I drove 4 hours this weekend to catch a flea market just south of Chicago (Saint Charles, IL) I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up finding a few things. I also went to a store in Chicago called Quake Collectibles. I was very impressed with their inventory. I spoke with the owner David and he said they have been there for 21 years. Amazing. Prices are fair and he was great to deal with on top of that. Anyway....some of this is from the flea market and some from him.


    The Batman & Supergirl were from the flea. Thor, Cap & Aquaman were from the shop.

    These were from the flea.

    Flea Market find!

    I love this sheet of bread cards! Got these at the flea market!


    Most definitely love the Robin. It has a short comic strip on the back.


    These are uncut sheets of stickers from Superman 2 & Superman 3. The backs of these have the posters as well. So cool to see them as posters and not the cut up parts.








    Got these at the shop. I sooooo remember hating them when they released 15 years ago. Wow, I love em now. LOL



    Shop find. I am just getting around to the Playing Mantis remakes....Love em.


    Shop find. The box is beat to heck. Still, I only paid $20 for it and I love it!!


    More shop finds. Love em!


    Without a doubt, these are my absolute favorites for my collection. I bought these at the store. When I was at the flea market a dealer had just the Zaius puzzle and was asking $75. I just couldn't bite. When the David at Quake said I could have the pair for $30 I couldn't say sold fast enough. hehe


    Overall, it was very much worth the drive! I had a blast!!

    Neat finds. Those cards/stickers are all Wonder Bread? I remember the "Wait 'Till Your Father Gets Home" one.
    It's all good!

      The Robin doesn't say it's wonder, so if it's not and someone knows what it's from let me know. I would love to get more, I just love it!

      The horse sticker/card is actually Kellogs. The rest are all from the Wonder Bread set.

                  Did the shop have a lot of POTA stuff? I'll be up that way in a few weeks. Might have to check it out!

                    Nothing for MEGO. I woulda been all over it.

                    The only MEGO i left him with was a Falcon & Wolfman for $40.00 each. He didn't have any MEGO POTA or Star Trek. He does have a lot of great stuff tho and ya never know what he will get in. Worth the stop for sure....

                        Wow! I have some Wonder Bread cards and stickers. Those were great! I love the Megos and Pulsar. And those giant POTA puzzles are amazing! Are you going to put them together?

                          Right now I just have the boxes displayed. I will probably put em together, but won't keep em that way. I don't have the wall space to glue/display them.
