    I've read that the Fett thing was an editing error, and it did not go for $20. Enjoying the show as always but surprised there has not yet been an ep dealing with carded WGSH though they've been seen in the background.

      i think it's entertaining. my wife who's not a toy fanatic at all gets amazed that there are actually other people besides myself that collect. hahaha

            I said, you can't put things in front of people and get an accurate market assessment if they don't actively trade in it all the time. If these fellas buy and trade the items you mentioned all the time then yes, that is their trade. But it doesn't make them an expert on ANY collectible you put in front of them. I've collected Mego's since the 70's. But if I wasn't out there currently buying and/or selling them, I couldn't give you a fair market assessment. And I've seen some wild swings in market value on just about everything out there. So I'm sorry. No ONE person (or group of persons) is an expert on anything "antique". They would have to pull other sources that do it actively to even know what they're talking about. I'm sure Jordan has a much better understanding of what a antique toy would trade or sell for than an antique piece of furniture. But I'm also confident he's not out there advising people on antique furniture either. At the end of the day it's like I always say. When two hands shake, market value can be flushed for all I care. Because no two deals are ever the same. It all comes down to the needs of the person selling versus the buyer willing to purchase.

              I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am so happy to have Jordan, as a spokesperson for collecting toys. His smile and excited looks, animate each episode with the fun level, required for continued success.

                I only have one complaint about the show: That guy that jumps and down like a nut in the opening credits. He makes us all look bad. I'd like to see him go. That's my only quibble.

                  Totally agree... My wife always says "THats You" when that guy is jumping around like an idiot.

                        Slap, cringe...punch. I'm cool with all of those.

                        This past ep was lil' more story based than I would have liked but you can't deny that MEGO love. Thank you.

                        Is Hollywood Heroes coming to the Philadelphia Wizard Show in May/June? If you are going to be there I'll stop by (I'm literally 2 blocks away) otherwise I'll skip it.
                        If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                          Every time they show that dude my wife says "there's your people".

                          I'd really like to open hand slap that dude, just once.

                            Every time they show that dude, my wife says "there's your boyfriend".

                            I'd really like to "high five" her in the face.
                            I'd never slap my wife.

                              I'm glad I'm not alone. Again, love the show, but I mention how much I hate that guy every week. And my wife comments on how he makes us look bad...and she collects BARBIES!!!

                                What our wives are saying is not only hurtful but accurate.
