Sorry, should have worded the previous post differently. I meant the individuals that turned the Bela Lugosi figures into a thing for you and the (lack of) figures being available in Big Lots last December a thing for me. Wouldn't be surprised if if was the same person, honestly. -

I left the Amblastodors shortly after the Bela Lugosi figures landedLeave a comment:

I don’t have a hate for scalpers anymore. I used to but now I see them as part of the force that drives you manufacturers to make more interesting product. And also they help curb my spending Haha. At this point I’m just buying a few pieces now and then for my own enjoyment.

At this point I’m just buying a few pieces now and then for my own enjoyment. When the kids were younger I bought them Megos and FTC and CTVT figures of their own. We were frequent eBay and Doc Mego customers. We made our own castle out of rocky shelf paper and laminate sheets for our knights and mad monsters and Breyer horses. The horses also worked for our Ted Witter CTVT sets and Robin Hood. I treated my reproduction and vintage figures like toys. Still do.Leave a comment:

Most people didn't, and that because every store only got something like nine of each character and scumbags were going in, purchasing all of them at one shot, and then listing them on eBay for $100 each ("ULTRA RARE!!", "SOLD OUT NATIONWIDE!!") just in time for the holidays.Leave a comment:

Never even saw a whisper of the Big Lots figures. Oh well. I have a boxed Original style Mego set of the Fab Four as well as boxed ftc Mego style comic style and tv style. And I don’t really think of myself as a packaging collectorLeave a comment:

Actually, what I've noticed with the announcement of Wave 19 is that the original point has- very slowly- gotten lost somewhere along the way. This doesn't feel like the 50th Anniversary of anything, honestly. I understand that licensing the Marvel characters is (likely) cost prohibitive, but there's still a lot of original DC characters missing. All four Teen Titans, all five Super Gals, and yes, even Mxyzptlk. Plus we've got nothing for POTA, almost nothing for Star Trek (technically, absolutely nothing as far as the original line is concerned), and Mad Monsters seems all but forgotten. In their stead, characters are already getting repeated i.e. the wrap-around cape Batman. I suppose you could technically also include the four Big Lots characters as repeats, but since people had such a hard time finding them it's almost like they didn't even exist to begin with.Leave a comment:
