Im renting a 1930s moviehouse showing Creature From the Black Lagoon & mini toy show

[MegoCapnMike]

Hey Mike, I was gonna try to make this one, but work had other ideas. Stupid work. I love Creature From the Black Lagoon!

Too bad you weren't in my city

How dare you put ELO over us? Oh, wait, Ok, now I understand. Did you get out of the blue?

I got out of the blue (Portland) but got right back into the blue (L.A.)...Mr. Blue Sky was everywhere! And it was hot. But I had a great time.

I also had a chance to visit the Batman '66 exhibit (with some POTA as well) at the Hollywood Museum - that was great! Tons of vintage toys on display there, though strangely not a single Mego Batman in sight. Maybe they were only sticking to toys that came out in the 60s. They did have these Ideal Batman figures from '66-67, though:

I recommend this exhibit to anyone with any interest in Batman '66...definitely worth a visit!

I can’t believe how great Jeff Lynne still sings. Certainly one of the all time great songwriters and music producers. Also as fine a musician as he is a singer.

Ok, back to Mego and Movies.

Normally I would be there for the show at least if not vending, but...I gotta be in L.A. this weekend. Electric Light Orchestra is playing, ya know.

Mego figures on the shelves, ELO playing big arena concerts...it must be 1976, right??

Best part of this show was seeing my friends again. pmwasson being a highlight. (sorry Mike, but it's been longer between visits with you and Lonnie than Paul and Ed.) Second, was getting the new Mego Dracula. Third, was all the totally cool comics and toys I got. Last, was the movie. Mike didn't get the 3-D version. I so wanted to have to wear 3-D glasses to see it in 2-D.

Had a great time. Thanks Mike!

Woulda that I coulda! Maybe for the Fall show.

Free movie!! Free toy show!! How could it get better than that?

Maybe I will have some new reboot Mego for sale at cost (not inflated)...and some vintage Mego including vintage SI pieces!!!

Pretty much literally on the farthest end of the country from me, or I'd try to get there. Sounds great; pleas take plenty of pics of the vent so you can share it with those of us who can't get there.

Will do! I will be in the Philly area for two weeks in August...im thinking about organizing a low key meet up Scott! Where do you live? Oop, I see Florida...there are some good eggs down there! You shoukd organize a Floridian meet up!

I'm scared of "those" kinds of movies...

Maybe if you showed up for a change.
