More Mego Love this Wednesday on TOY HUNTER, including a shout out... please watch

[Chris]

I luv'd that Jordan gave people more money than they asked for. I also like that the show doesn't have some contrived plotline like: "Jordan has to run the store by himself" or "Jordan makes a bet to get a tattoo". It's a high concept show that doesn't vary from its initial premise. Dare I say even the after commercial recaps seem shorter?

This is the boost that MEGO needs.

I noticed that as well. Like this week's episode, there was no recap of the Star Wars Early Bird scene when it came back from the break.

I too appreciate the lack of extraneous nonsense on the show. The fun stuff with the Mego jeans was cute, and that's the kind of fun stuff I like to see. Really enjoying it every week.

I can't seem to get a decent price on the Mexican Love Boat figures since the show aired!
Isaac mixing a chelado is getting $35 USD just for the original card backer.

Guess the shout-out to the Mego Museum got cut. Great episode nonetheless.

Another fantastic episode. Been a long time since I liked any new show this much. No surprises on the shout outs getting cut. Unless one of us here was producing it anyone on the outside is going to cut it wondering why they should give free advertising.

[Mr Mego]

POTA Megos will still make for a great show.

I guess missed that show, will keep watching every Weds.... Can't wait to seeing 'em!!!

I hope the Toy Hunter will not buying them with so lowered then re-selling them higher on Auctions and Stores....

Is our member hollywoodheroes working for Toy Hunter Company or is that he? Just curious..

[Iron Mego]

hollywoodheroes IS Jordan from the show.

He does sell them for higher, and all the people he goes to know that he is offering them wholesale prices. They are all well aware he is in this to resell what he buys from them.

fun episode. finally got a chance to sit down and watch it this afternoon

Just a recap... Shirley called and was a bit upset on the price for the Mego ST ALIEN lot. She said her daughter called and told her should could have gotten more money. So.. I sent her another check.

I am now into the set for $3800. Less money for profit.. but she needed it and really wanted to have "peace" with the deal.

Did I over pay?

Hope all is well with everyone.

Very commendable Jordan. I think it goes without saying that many folks wouldn't even think of doing that.

Is this week's episode a new one?

I'm all for people getting the most they can, but I think that's going a bit far. She knew they were worth something and you gave her her asking price.
Seems like a but much $ wise but more of a WGSH guy than Trek.

[Chris]

Did I over pay?

That is so cool!!!!! You did the right thing. You might be the greatest guy on TV even greater than Barrack Obama and Chris Christie.

The whole check writing scenario would make for a heartwarming Thanksgiving episode.

[Earth 2 Chris]

A little Mego Dukes of Hazzard love last night. And I had no idea Battle Cat and Panthor's mold originated in the Big Jim line!

Stuff like this will get you more respect here. You sure won't see anyone do this on American Pickers or Pawn Stars. I'm sure now you'll have more fans and viewers.

Apparently, it does happen on Pickers..

Both Wolfe and Fritz know their motorcycles; Wolfe knows bikes and signs; and Fritz is a toy collector. Outside of those areas, Colby-Cushman said, "all he can do is guess at what it's going to sell for. That is where the trouble lies."

And she said viewers often don't get the full story. "I can tell you of several situations where Mike has found out that something he has picked for $20 is worth way more than he thought, and he's gone back and given more money to the person he's picked from," she said. "It happens more often than you think."
