Rare Mego Batmobile Gift Set

I remember seeing this on the shelf as a kid and wondering why it didn't have the exploding bridge and Joker. Seemed like a rip off to my kid eyes. Now, not so much. Great score, Brian.

*sigh* Another cool piece I'll never own *sigh*
But just seeing those pics is good enough for me

Darkmonekygod,

I too saw quite a few of these on shelf as a kid and I do recall it was in late 1978 near christmas. It was at Toytown in Rosemead, Ca. I know my cousin got one for christmas, I ended up just getting a spiderman, an army soldier from another line similar and some star wars figures.
"If I knew then what I know now!"

Toytown was by far the best toy shop to go even though TRU was around the corner next to Farell's. I miss that place and they always had a better selection of toys, especially Star Wars and Mego. Only thing is that it was overpriced than TRU so my parents would take us to TRU. Of course I would always vote for Toytown.
Living in Hollywood, I would call Toytown about twice a week to see what was the latest star wars assortment that had arrived. Huge phone bill!
Even back then I was calling all toy shops to see who had the newest assortments. TRU, Bert Wheeler's on Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood Toys and Hollywood Toys on Sunset. All Mego and Star Wars. Sorry for the digression. Just living in the past for a moment.

Don't apologize for that disgression, that's what we're about.

Wow, that's an incredible assortment of Batmobiles! And the one with the three figures in your initial pic is gorgeous! I too am drooling...
