Megos on toy hunters

[ddgaff1132]

Just a few thought here. At least the show is on a basic cable channel, So re-airings will be frequent. One is coming up as I type.
The other thing I have to laugh about is his assistant back at the office. I get the feeling she was hired specially for the show to be some kind of eye candy and probably has little or no experience/love for the subject of toy collecting. Jordan, on the other hand; wears his toy love on his sleeve. His expressions in regards to the toyfinds are probably exactly what mine would be. He seems like-able and passionate.

Mego got a quick nod and glance in the first episode of Collector Intervention as well.

Yeah, I saw it on the TV break preview but it went off so fast...... when that'll showing up next and what time?

I'm from Southeast, TX.

Good read, but I dont know about the knickerbocker LOTR horse for $6000

Unfortunately the audience of these shows are probably folks who do alot of selling at flea markets. Translation: Inflated prices headed to a table near you!

I'm sure the Andy Gibb bit was a pre-arranged gag. I know the host Jordan from lots of toy shows
over the years - he definitely has a face for TV (unlike most of us, myself included). He called me
about the pilot and was hoping the show would get picked up - I guess it did.

I watched the episode where he was in Austin TX finding things for an auction. I was puzzled that
his plan was to go to friends with collections, beg them to sell him rare items for close to full retail,
then take them to an auction where he often lost money. But I guess it's more about entertainment
than profit. The show's budget probably more than pays for any losses.

It is nice to see "this thing of ours" being talked about on TV. I think it will raise MEGO awareness
and make it harder to buy them inexpensively.

It's not a bad show. I do luv the MEGO exposure.
