Some fine Mego Memories

[RSS]

Chris Flagg sent in this happy memory from Christmas 1974, he really hit the jack pot that year with the Mego Batcave playset, Batcycle, Batmobile and Batcopter. What more could a kid ask for?
Thanks Chris! Looks like the folks did a bit of catalog shopping as evidenced by this 1974 JC Penney spread:

Enjoy previous Mego Memories at the Megomuseum, Part 1 and Part 2 are full of vintage coolness. Got a pic to donate? Send it on down!

Wow! Talk about a Christmas jackpot! I wonder how quickly he tore through the packaging (ouch!).

Wish I had the pics to show, but getting both the RC Batman and Robin at Easter '72 was incredible, having just seen them at a local Kmart a month previous. Having my step-dad tease me for getting a Batgirl a few years later was irritating, but she's still a favorite.

~ 'Course my favorite memories of the mid-70s was my best friend getting nearly all the Trek Megos over a few years time, so his number was the first I'd call every Christmas morning.. (didn't have speed dial back then...).

I really wish my parents took pictures of me and my toys, but so far I can't find anything significant. My mother is going through all our old pictures now for a family project, but I'm not holding out much hope of finding anything good.

No idea whatever happened to my family's photos. Next time I visit my grandmother I'll have to see what she's got. My mother has had a habit of giving her doubles of photos of what we take.

My parents never took pics like this of me on Xmas, birthdays, etc. :(

I asked my mom recently why that was, and she said something like, "we just never thought about it really." Real nice, lol. But, I know my parents always were more of the "live in the moment" type of people and weren't the most sentimental folks, so I guess that shouldn't surprise me.

As a kid I'd have been dying to go to Chris' house and play with that Batcave if I'd known him!!

Wow! Nice haul that year! I bet he was the envy of every boy in his class!

As a kid I'd have been dying to go to Chris' house and play with that Batcave if I'd known him!!

There was a kid on my block that I could not stand but he had the Joker and Penguin. It's amazing the hurdles you will go through when a kid has cool toys.

I never even knew the batcave existed as a kid.
