Super Collector Newsletter Discussion Thread

Regarding the current ZLC sale, I'm amazed they're selling a boxed 50th anniversary Riddler for $3 (plus tax & shipping). That price is really close to what people paid for the Riddler in the 1970s.

they sold all my inventory, so there's that.

That sucks in that money to clients from sales doesn't seem to be on the table in the settlement, only product.

Another great newsletter. I saw today in the comic news that Diamond supposedly reached a settlement to return product from their warehouses to their clients, so hopefully that bring some relief on the Toy Ventures front. It's not much but it's not nothing I guess.

Lots of interesting tidbits and pics throughout the newsletter though.

I'm sorry. Didn't mean to leave anyone out. I am grateful.

I'm just kidding. I'll mention you twice as hard next week.

Happy August 7th!

Always look forward to newsletter day. More toy shows coming up but nothing in my area and thanks for the shout out on my custom mego.

I love the Dragnet customs, Gannon can be also used for Colonel Potter (M*A*S*H*) also love the DC Treasury editions, remember them as a kid.

I didn't know about the Marvel rights--I was hoping for Bug amongst the "Mego" versions.

The aliens were my favorites, too and I want to see them of course.

It's Super 7 Reaction+ for me with Micronauts. The scale is more nostalgic, and they have a better track record for going deep and staying with a property.

I've been buying these as well! Totally agree that having an 'in scale' (with vintage) Baron Karza and Force Commander is fantastic. I also really like the Super7 Biotron and Microtron, though, I feel like, compared to how the characters were presented in the vintage Marvel comics, my vintage Mego Biotron is too big and my new Super7 Biotron is a little too small.

I've also bought Super7's recent Emperor figure and am totally pleased with that as well. I am a little concerned about whether the Super7 Micronauts line will continue from here, as I've heard they've had some recent financial challenges and I remember Brian Flynn saying in an interview that Super7 doesn't have the rights to do the Micronauts from the Marvel comics. Personally, I'd be really thrilled if they re-made the Aliens, as I didn't manage to hold onto mine from childhood (despite them being among my favorites).

I like those Dc treasury editions, I have the Shazam! volume. I passed on buying the Batman one for reasons members MRP or Earth2Chris can probably deduce.
