    Mego Scarcity Index... You rank most scarce parts/pieces/accessories Top 20

    As much as I love mego, my focus on wgsh makes me miss on the scarcity of other mego lines.. Sometimes I've traded in person or dumped on ebay rare pota stuff or other lines clueless as to their actual scarcity, thus value. So what is your ranking of scarcest mego parts? This includes all mego figure lines and playset/vehicle parts too if you want. For example...

    1. RM Robin mask #1?
    2. Supergirl shoes #2? or #7?
    3. Maybe some impossible to find pota part is higher?
    4. Or AJ item even higher?
    5-20?

    Feel free to include "parts" such as Big "S" sup outfit even though some may quibble it is not a part. And I guess I was thinking of North American Mego stuff because all other stuff is automatically scarce in the U.S. Maybe make a separate non U.S. list too for those who wish!) Make your ranking as long or as short as you want. The members on this site would know best.

    I'm really curious about what I should be aware of outside of the wgsh line.
    And this is more about scarcity than monetary value. I like to know what is impossible to find...

      What I collect, what I have seen or haven't, it's pretty much relegated to WGSH, Action Jackson, Mad Monsters and Western Heros. Strictly using a scale of what I have seen less than 4 times in the past year or 2
      1. Solid Boxes
      2. Diamond suit Spider man
      3. Broken Circle suit Spider man
      4. Zorro
      5. Jet Jungle
      6. Basa WGSH
      7. Secret Identities
      8. Spider man Marvel only box(not Electric Company)
      9. Removable mask Robin (Yellow sleeves and shorts)
      10. Action Jackson Lost Worlds Play set
      11. Boxed Isis
      12. Silk Screened Super-girl
      13. Blond Action Jackson
      14. Blond Beard Action Jackson
      15. Black Action Jackson
      16. Action Jackson Variants outfits baseball(Black Boxed) .
      17. Action Jackson Variants outfits frogman (Green carded)
      18. Action Jackson Variants outfits frogman (Black carded)
      19. Boxed Green Arrow Yellow Tights
      20. Lets let 20 be everything else that is out of reach lol

      Some of these I own and some I don't have, just because I have them doesn't mean I haven't pulled teeth trying to get them because the opportunity has been so few and far between.

        Nice I forgot about that list, and in doing so putting the Great White Shark at the top of the list and dropping everything down 1.

            Hmmmm....

            I think the AJ dog tag should be on a list of rarities.

                If your talking accessories, they don't get more annoying and scarce than Clark Kent Glasses or RM Robin mask. Most AJ items are not that rare with the exception of the Royal Guard outfit and Soccer outfit, although the Carded Desert outfit is htf as well as the Rescue Squad Bucket Head (see my avatar) Steve Goalgetter Goal Game is also an exceptionally rare item and only 1 has surfaced so far. Red Hair Dracula and Blue Hair Frankenstein should be in the top tier and Ultraman Leo complete a tie with complete Jet Jungle for the number 1 slot imho.

                    From a collecting point of view, I found the pirates to be scarce, haven't seen any lately(favourite line joint with robin hood). Gallahad, this guy, just never pops up, and the robin hood line apart from friar tuck. U just dont see many of these pop up in mint condition, and if so they are over priced. I wish I would see more of the waltons "general store" around. Oh and those damn million BC beasts. lol

                      For accessories,I'd put POTA gloves on a list. Especially the variations.

                        I think all the accessories are a B@$#h to find, you have a better shot at finding a complete SI Kent or a Removable mask Robin or a complete APE before you find the Accessories

                            My two cents says as far as accessories go, the SI clark Kent glass and hat, and an original RM robin mask would be my top three.

                            I wish there were a mego scarcity index for packaged items...only a thought, although I know it's a major undertaking to do it.

                              LOL - I think I led that effort back when I had no kids. Now I have 3 and can't imagine doing something like that now!
