At one time or another he's had some of the most amazing LR stuff I've ever seen, Dodge City playest, figures, sets, you name it and he's had it or still has it.
I think somewhere here long ago it was posted how to tighten the figures up but you had to crack open the chest to do it.
I would truly appreciate that, and would be willing to pay you an additional fee for doing this

I had no idea, I've only collected Joes and took a chance on the Tonto. I left my name and number with the seller (very nice little old lady in her mid 70's) She said she had the Lone Ranger as well and would get back to me about it. Anyhow, long story short she had three other Tonto's. If she remembers to get back to me about the Ranger would any of you guys like me to pick them up for you? I would only charge the cost to me, 40.00 plus the shipping to me and the shipping to you. 50.00 would be my guess. Anyhow, pics are in my gallery.

That's awesome! I got into a bidding war for Tonto on eBay. It went for $150. Im not aware of many toy shows in the Pittsburgh PA area. $40 is a steal for Tonto.

I just picked up a factory sealed Tonto at the San Jose Super Toy show tonight for 40.00!
Is it just me, or do modern toys lack the simple but huge play value that toy lines like this had back then? I mean it was all about great characters with detailing, accessories, and play environments- the rest was up to the imagination. Whether it was a spaceship or a horse, your heros could go anywhere, do anything.
I got a bunch of these for my birthday and Christmas during their original release in the 70's: Lone Ranger, Tonto, Butch Cavendish, Silver, Scout, a few accessory sets and Tonto's tee-pee. For some reason, my parents were kind of stingy on gifting me Mego Superheroes but went all out on Lone Ranger, I don't get it. I guess I liked them ok enough as a kid, but part of me was always thinking "these aren't as cool as my superhero guys".
I first got these both as sets (Lone Ranger w/ Silver and Tonto w/ Scout) when they were rereleased around 1980. I received them for Christmas and was in love with them.
I have a great loose example of the Lone Ranger...
complete minus the stickers for Silver...perfectly intact mask,joints are great on mine..
That is a nice set. Silver doesn't have much discoloration along the seams. There is someone selling 2 sets of the stickers for silver and the instructions on eBay right now. $10
