Hello everyone. I just signed up here yesterday and was snooping around so I figured I would introduce myself. I'm friends with fellow member Jwiz154 and he recommended this site so I figured I would try it out. I don't currently collect Mego's but I do collect the DC and the Ghostbusters Retro lines (along with JLU). I did have a few Mego's as a kid growing up and they were some of my favorites. Lately I've been feeling the itch to possibly expand my collection into Mego's but only time will tell if I do or not.Leave a comment:

Greetings to one and all and wishes for a Happy Fourth of July from me in Jeffersonville, IN. Who am I? My name is Chris Weppler and I've been a Mego fan for many years (at least 42 of my 47, anyway). I joined the boards at the urging of a fellow, long-time member and look forward to engaging in many interesting and entertaining conversations with the lot of you!

Regular admission is $9. This is only $11 more than that, for two days (a $2 premium over regular admission), and you have the entire museum to also enjoy. There are seminars, dealers, custom contests and an auction. Oh yeah, the price of admission also includes the entire family, which some find very cost efficient. I believe MegoCon cost $90 8 years ago, and there are more dealers at MegoMeet. I know I saw lots of vintage Trek figures, although many were loose. There is no guarantee that you will see every figure you want, bit the majority were well represented. Berto alone probably had half of what Mego produced at his table alone.
Did Isis have sandals? Gold paint on her leather parts? Were there head rubs on Koenig? Did you have original comlocks, belts, etc on Koenig? If not, you probably should have taken the deal. A beater Isis and a beater Koenig do not an Andorian make.
Sorry you found this event unsatisfying. You should have looked at the many years worth of pictures on the homepage to get an idea of what has been available in the prior years.
Welcome to the Mego Museum. I hope we can live up to your high standards.

All funds go to the Kruger St Museum for hosting the event. It helps them out and we're fine by that. Not sure what you're trying to imply otherwise but renting a hall always costs money.Leave a comment:

I am new here, as I recently attended the MegoMeet in Wheeling WV this past weekend. The meet was O.K. but I feel a $20.00 fee to go and browse toys was a little much, regardless of the disclaimer SOMEBODY IS MAKING A PROFIT. I was hoping to find some vintage Star Trek, as that is my collecting forte' but most items were repos or custom, I did try to trade 2 vintage Mego's( Cmdr Keonig and Isis) for a vintage Andorian but the guy tried to rip me off on the trade so it did not happen ($35.00 for each). BUT on a positive note there were some COOL items available and great talent was showcased , I did make a sucess at it, I purchased a vintage STTMP Spock for $20.00, a repo Romulan( What a GREAT looking figure), a vintage Greedo for $2.00 and a whole handful of ST accesories for $2.00( Dr. Mego would have charged $60.00 for what I recieved). Bottom line is I will be back next year because now I know what type of items are available.Leave a comment:
