    How many Megos are in OUR hands?

    I was wondering: how many Megos do we collectively own?
    As a community.

    How many of our plastic friends have been rescued from the horrors of Ebay and such?

    I'm starting the counter myself: 59 (51 individual, and 8 extras).

    I'm not counting replicas...

    Not counting customs and kitbashes I have obtained 35 original Megos since returning to Megos this past Christmas.

    As far as customs go, I have 5 completed and have another 12 in stages.

        I wouldn't say rescued really. I've butchered as many for customs as I have restored, completed or just collected. Not sure if that counts as a rescue or not.

          I think taking some beat up megos and scavenging parts, and using a bunch of leftovers, to create/restore a character counts as rescue. Consider the parts lots, I have managed to take a rough parts lot and used the parts to make like 8 or 9 complete T2 bodies. Sure there was a left over pile of broken feet, and legs, but I like to think I was able to save some from a worse fate.

          I have probably 80 figures including customs. As a group we must have several thousand. Many more planned, and some waiting in the wings. Interesting question.

              I have about 100 or so in my collection and probably 30 or so bodies in my parts. They're not complete figures so I don't know if they should/would count.
              It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                I probably have close to 200 figures. I should really count them.

                  200-300, at least. Too many, my wife would say!

                            Hmmm.
                            Should we include customs and "Frankenstein jobs"?

                            This could get interesting.
                            Shall we start with originals only?

                            I wonder...
                            Years back, a group of SW fans came together and put all their figures and vehicles (properly labeled) in one big action scene. There were a whole slew of AT-ATs. Most impressive.
                            Imagine getting hundreds of Megos together?
                            .
                            .
                            .
