Well, thanks to the Topps partnership, I'm officially out.

[PNGwynne]

Two a month would suit me fine.

[Mego-Amigo]

My concern with having one a week offered would be that if the character offered that week was more obscure it might not get funded whereas offering that character with a more popular character creates excitement to order both. For example... if Black Adam had been offered without Shazam how many of us would have been excited enough to order him ? One other thought is that these releases seem to be geared toward a lot of characters we have been requesting for years and we don't know how long this Topps deal will last. The more characters released and the quicker they're released the better. We may never get some of these otherwise. If we do get them I believe this is the only way we'll ever get Nova, Carmilla, Chapel, Rand, Vina, Marta etc... Like everyone else I can't afford them all but I'm going to try my best to keep up with the ones I really like.

Question for the room, would one figure a week make it easier?

Just thinking out loud here, as others have pointed out that this is somewhat similar to a kickstarter, why don't they change it to a vote and have one figure a month? That way you'd have more people buying what gets presented because the figure is truly what they want and there's no budget-juggling issues?

Price and shipping doesn't bother me as much as waiting up to five months to receive them.

The problem with one a week is the shipping. $10 is a lot for one figure. I would prefer less frequent offerings but still 2 figures at a time.

[Nostalgiabuff]

it might just be better to do figures every other week, or possibly once a month

I'm not out yet. But I'm thinking about it. I love Mego. I also think the TOPPS character selection has been great so far. But Frankly, the shipping is too high. I've picked up 5 of the 6 initial offerings. But I haven't felt good about the purchases. With the price increasing on most action figure lines I collect, it's really going to come down to what I can afford and how much satisfaction I get out of collecting them. If TOPPS can find a better shipping option, I'm in. Otherwise, I think I'm going to have to pass in the near future.

[The Batman Professor]

Up to 100 business days (puts us into January) to ship Heston and Zira is what grinds my gears - this is just a glorified kickstarter.

[Avenging Robot]

I think for those of us who grew up with Mego is that as children we had a few of this and that - nobody that I grew up with had everything. Over the years these toys became a hobby that had adult collectors. When you look at other toy lines like the Playmates Star Trek line that started in the '90s the unique figures ran into the hundreds. The Mego Star Trek line had 14 figures and like I said, I didn't know anyone who had all 14 as children.

So I guess what I'm saying is that as children we never had a complete collection and for most of us as adults, we probably won't have a complete collection either...

[ODBJBG]

Depends on your perspective.

[Brown Bear]

Who would've ever thought people would be complaining about TOO MANY mego's coming out. Great problem to have.

[ODBJBG]

Honestly Mego is pumping out so much product in general that I'm kinda done with a vast majority of it. If something cool comes along I want (Like Toxic Avenger) I'm buying it for certain. But overall there's just too much stuff.

And I mean I guess that says they're doing well, but I tend to think Mego has a smaller audience and eventually you burn people out. Kudos to them for the success, but I can't buy everything. And not that I think they expect me to, but I hope they're aware that collector fatigue could eventually become a problem.

This is true to me for a lot of toy lines though. I've began to shift my focus in recent years to collect less and less.

[wise guy]

I ordered Shazam and Black Adam with $ 24.00 shipping and $ 6.00 tax. I wan't Zira but not with their shipping prices. I will get Aquaman but few others from Topps.

[MysteryWho]

I am disappointed in the exorbitant shipping fees and I am passing on this weeks' figures as a result, so I hear you. But I am still going to jump on future releases if they scream to be bought. I'm a cherry picker, so it is easier for me I guess. Certain lines I like to complete, but I can just grab things that grab me. It's still pretty exciting to have access to these new figures. When I saw the Motion Picture Spock I was so pleased. If there are more Beneath the Planet of the Apes figures or Apes tv figures I might cry. The Hammer stuff is a dream come true.
