    The Mego Museum Shopping Mall Grand Opening & Contest

    We’re happy to announce that the Museum now has a gift shop.

    Today we are proud to unveil the Mego Museum’s latest feature.




    The Mego Museum Mall is a series of collector-owned online shops catering to the retro toy crowd; it’s like Etsy but with action figures.

    A logical extension of our popular Marketplace Forum (which will not change at all), The Mego Museum Mallallows users to browse from a variety of trusted sellers with hundreds of items vintage and new, custom made or factory produced.

    For sellers it’s an opportunity to reach the widest possible Mego audience through our homepage and social media outlets, showcasing their goods in an attractive marketplace with a professional Paypal-enabled shopping cart system, inventory control and order tracking. No more “bumping” threads in the marketplace: Your best stuff is on view in the Mall waiting for the right buyer to come along. No more searching through PMs for mailing address or paypal account, everything you need to get paid and ship your goods is at your fingertips through your shop interface.

    How does it work?

    For the buyer, it’s no different than shopping anywhere else. Simply place the item in your shopping cart and pay via Paypal. We do not collect your credit card information, it’s all handled through Paypal’s secure servers.

    For the seller, getting your own store is free and you only get charged if the item sells. Our 5% commission fee is automatically deducted and is far less than comparable sites. Contact us if you are interested in opening a shop in our Mall.

    Museum Shops Contest

    We’re giving away some door prizes this month to celebrate our launch. To enter simply purchase anything between today and August 30th. Every transaction equals an entry.

    First Prize: SDCC exclusive Sheldon figure from the Big Bang Theory.
    Second Prize: Carded Rudy Wells from Six Million Dollar man.
    Third Prize: Mego Museum Mystery Prize

    Winners will be announced on September 1st. Thanks for trying out the Mego Museum Mall!

      Wow! this should be interesting. Are you wanting items to stay in the mego and megolike realm, or are all vintage toys fair trade, so to speak?

          It's pretty open at this point. I think anything you'd feel comfortable selling in the Marketplace would be welcome.

            Cool idea!

            Are there any requirements to keep a "store" open? does it require constant inventory?

              are the products in there now for real... or they just place holders to show as examples?
              Fresh, not from concentrate.

                Mmm, no, I don't think so. We'd take it off the featured rotation until you had new product, but the store would still be there waiting for your next big score.

                    This is almost what I had in mind when I mentioned the ME-Bay idea back before the mego meet. Looking good so far!

                      In all of the excitement today I missed that Luey had added some items to his store, so I just added him to the roster. We are delighted to welcome The Vintage Toy Picker to the Mall.

                      Luey's Pick Up Your Toys!

                      Thanks as well to Bryan (Toy LOCO) and ScottA (Buy High Sell Low Toys) for being early guinea pigs.

                      And thanks to Palitoy and Odeon for filling the mall with such fun stuff and making the place look so classy.

                      My shop has some nice stuff that didn't make the cut in my new man cave but will look great in yours.

                      We have some other awesome folks lined up who should be online any day.

                              Great idea and addition. It can get tiresome, waiting for stuff on Ebay or waiting for something to maybe pop up in the marketplace. Another option is welcome particularly from trusted sellers.
