They are fairly rare in my area, and when they are in town, they are either so small I don't really go out of my way to go. If Bendy (a member who lives in the same metro area) isn't there as a dealer, the chances of Mego sightings are pretty darned low.

Not too many around over here, but there is a big one in my town once a year.

Ha! Last FX my son had $80 to spend thanks to combined money from me, his grandmother and great grandmother. I ended up lugging around a boxed Tower of Doom, Supermobile and several JLU 3 packs. That boy has an eye for good deals.
Me? I got a carded Metal Man and a $4 hotdog....

I have to drive at least 2 1/2 hours to get to toy shows in Kansas City or Oklahoma City, even though I live in a city with a metropolitan population of almost half a million. Annoyingly some of those are are, as Rob noted earlier, beginning to mostly cater to toys made from 2000 to present and porn collectors (another wonderful symptom of toys and comics catering to a "mature" crowd). However, I do make it a point to get to MegoMeet each year so I can still attend a real toy show. Other than that it's Flea Markets, Antique Shops, Auctions, and Garage Sales for me.An old Irish Blessing - "May those who love us, love us; and if they do not love us, may God turn their hearts; and if He does not turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles, that we may know them by their limping"Comment

I go to what ever I can. Mainly just FX and MegoMeet now since I've changed jobs. I loved going to the Shrine, Rose Bowl and Pomona while I was out in CA, made even better by going with my buddies out there...sigpic WANTED: Boxed, Carded and Kresge Carded WGSHComment

I try to hunt for Megos (and other toys) pretty much where and whenever I can in the wild. I will go to local shows when I can find them.Comment
