    Mego score this weekend!

    You can see more on my thread in General Buzz because there were many non-Mego items we got as well. I just wanted to share the Mego stuff here. A few weeks ago we (Vintage Toy Rescue) were contacted by an individual who had inherited a massive Superman collection from his father. We were honored to be invited to be the first to sort through it. The gentleman and his wife were gracious hosts and we were proud to be able to bring back quite a few items to add to our personal collections as well as lots of stuff to share with other collectors. These items were collected over 50 years and can now be loved and cherished by others. This was a toy collector's dream pick that we will talk about for the rest of our lives. And one question that has already come up.... no, they are not reproductions!



    Updated picture. I went through the rest of the stuff and add a couple items to the Mego goodness pic!

            Thanks guys! It was truly an honor to have scored this stuff. I feel like I am going on and on about this but I am just still so excited. I think Brian and ScottA have replied to each and every one of my posts on Facebook. Thank you all again for helping me celebrate this find.

              I dropped my iPad! How wondrously beautiful. The primary colors, the nostalgia, the evocation of the seventies! It's just great.

                  Congrats on the incredible collection. Looks like the son was enjoying it while you were going through the collection. Hopefully it brought back some good memories for him. BTW, love the Superman pogo stick. I've seen a few before...but never that clean.

                  And because of all their tears,
                  Their eyes can't hope to see
                  The beauty that surrounds them
                  Isn't it a pity".
