Megos on toy hunters

[Chris]

funny he was showing an Item i wanted on one of the episodes and he says a price...so i contacted him and asked if he still had it..He said yea but the price was almost triple what he was asking on tv

I'm not a fan of the "toy flipper" in general. I'd like him and the show more if he was buying the toys for his own collection. Actually, if we could remove him from the show it would be great. Dr. MEGO would be perfect.

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.

Anyone noticed the hot redhead has yet to reappear? I was thinking maybe the episodes were aired out of order, and the redhead was a late edition, but I believe she appeared in episode 2 (the first one aired after the pilot). So was she dropped? In this week's episode he mentions the home office, but no mention of her.

I noticed that, she seemed so "forced" that it bugged me. Even the way she was "doing inventory" looked poorly thought out.

So far, I don't mind the show at all, although I'd prefer it if Hembrough explained the toy/item to the audience rather than the collector. It seems weird to go into a guy's house that's filled with collectibles and tell them about the item they have. A lot of these folks seem to know what they're doing.

The assistant was really hysterical. Just like the hot alterna-chick on Pickers but totally unbelievable. there's no way this guy is making enough bank to justify the hot assistant. Although like I told my wife, Huckabone almost always has cute girls working with him.

I'm glad they filmed his reaction to the suitcase of crappy CHips figures, because it's the first time in recorded history anyone has been THAT impressed by those yellowed bubbled Zombies.

Yeah, that bugs me. And on this week's episode, the Spider-Man collector said the 1.1 million dollars price in the teaser, and then in the actual aired segment, Hembrough said it. It's oddly edited (but most reality shows are).

I do enjoy the show, it's neat to see the stuff on TV, and Hembrough is more likeable than many reality TV folks.

I'm now waiting to see if the redheaded gal returns. Maybe the Pickers girl sued her for copyright infringement?

a bit off topic, but frank and mike are waaaaay more likeable than the dude on toy hunters

[palitoy]

Just saw the Spider-Man episode, thought he waaaaay overpaid for the loose broken Remco Spidey and the Chem Toy web toy. A broken energized spidey can't crack $15 easily and the Chem Toy piece tops out usually under $200. I've had a couple and never paid more than $75.

Also thought a lot of the games and toys he bought were just to broaden the show's appeal, I doubt he regulalry sells Battleship.

[cjefferys]

Yeah, the price he was throwing around for that Remco Spidey kinda made me raise my eyebrows (same with some other items). A lot of things said and shown on the show seem somewhat unlikely, and there is some inaccurate information thrown out there at times, but it's cool seeing all the vintage stuff in other people's collections and Jordan is a likeable enough host, so I'll keep watching.

[toys2cool]

Is there a website to watch the missed episodes?

[drmego]

Thanks, but I don't have the face or body for TV.

The point of this show is to make the general public aware that old toys have value.
Unfortunately for everyone here, that means that it will be harder to buy old toys cheap.
Every garage sale is going to want $$$ for every busted old Star Wars toy.

I'm not a fan of the "toy flipper" in general. I'd like him and the show more if he was buying the toys for his own collection. Actually, if we could remove him from the show it would be great. Dr. MEGO would be perfect.

[Hflagman1]

Well I don't mind the guy they have but WOW some really great toys on the show that I have not seen since I was a kid. Makes me wanna go yard sale'n

[TMANSTOYS]

Now I know what I'll here at the flea. markets " I saw that on toy hunters so I know its worth a lot. Its almost like " I'll sell it on ebay and get a lot more then that for it ". WHY THEY BRING IT THEN. JUST LEAVE IT HOME AND PUT IT ON EBAY !!! These shoes are killing it for everyone.

Yeah, I enjoy looking at other people's collections and the show is pretty upbeat and light, so I'll keep watching.
