GOOD NEWS REGARDING MATTEL WGSH WAVE 1 figures.

[LonnieFisher]

Comic shops are a rip off. they usually charge twice what they pay. so they probably pay $13.50 if they charge $27.00.

Mattel needs it's own section. They ARE NOT Emce or Mego. I totally agree that it should be here. I checked the package and it doesn't refer to Emce at all. Nothing. So it's Mattel, in reality.

Sure, and one for ZICA, and for BiffBangPow and ...

[Meule]

Actually in my opinion there should only be one forum section for Mego-Like figures. I don't see why some should have their own while everyone else's are relegated to 2nd class status. Seems a little like playing favorites to me.

On that I actually agree with you

I can't get over some of the things I see people "arguing" about on this list.
Why don't we nit-pic this thing and each other to death!!
Bottom line boys . . . . If it weren't for Paul Clarke these new figures wouldn't have seen the light of day . . . . .

Listen I own a comic shop and we get charged plenty! On top of that almost all products come with a SRP and frankly I am offended by the idea that "comic shops are a rip off" you think TRU and Amazon are not charging your double or more? Maybe they are not but they are going to sell thousands if not more units where I will sell 10 if I am lucky! I pour my everything into my little shop and we barely scrape by, I don't have health insurance and I go to school in any spare time I have so I can provide an outlet for people who love comics and toys, a place to come and be welcome and find a friendly face who understands, and is interested in what they are talking about. Who they don't have to feel is judging them for asking abut the newest toys or comic books while being an adult. More often then not I we barely pull out of the week. All I am trying to say is that statement, one which I have heard time and time again, is very unfair but not to worry we are a dying breed one day you will just get all your stuff from the internet and no one will have to get "ripped off" any more. Stuff like this just breaks my heart. sorry for the rant.

Not all Comic Book shop owners are out to rip off people. While, True there are some who will charge an arm and a leg for a regular comic that has a misprint or a misprinted price or a diff cover, not all are like that. In my time, I have left stores for trying to rip me off, they were charging 3 time more then normal fopr something. but as I said, not all are like that. So just like everything cant judge all for the crimes of a few.

Perhaps not a 103 but he hasn't been on myspace in 2 years. Maybe facebook?

He's not much for the internet so far. I was surprised to see this and he most likely had someone (maybe someone in the family) set this up because last I heard, he personally didn't have the internet.

Hey Mego73, are you from Rochester? I am. Nice to see a local guy here.

[mego73]

I'm in Webster, close to Rochester

[DavidCoppola]

I'm in Greece. I collected Megos when they 1st came out and am getting back into them now.

[JediJaida]

They had Megos in Greece?! I never knew that they reached THAT far!

Which ones did you collect?
