    It is nice for lack of anything else. I'm guessing most people who have collected megos for a few years have it. Now that Ben's book is out, the WGSH section of that book is obsolete. It is basically a photo album of a super mego collector and please ignore the price guide - in most cases it is not even close and it can't begin to consider condition of figures.

      Yeah, I agree. I had one of those and it's pretty much worthless now. Most of the shots show figures not fully accessorized and the prices were little more than guess work against what was really out there. By all means invest the money and get Ben's book. NOTHING will ever be a better source of information than his book. Truly a one of a kind.

          I've never read it, but it was written by John Bonavita......
          A true Mego collecting pioneer who really loves the hobby ...
          It might not be up-to-date, but i'm sure it will be a good read.
          Bonavita is Royalty in the Mego community.

              not a bad book. it's the 2nd book of 3 that Bonavita has out. Ben's book is way awsome for sure!
