Nope, I no longer buy his new toys.

If He makes Them Mego scale...I WILL!!

If Ohstuka Kikaku made these, they will be beautiful. The figures I have from them are a little smaller than Megos (like inbetween a Lion Rock and a Mego). They are really detailed.....

It's funny Hector (and all) as much as I rally behind new toys based on old
Star Wars movies, and silver/bronze age superheroes and other stuff--
-I can't say that I ever actually buy the stuff

Over 90% of toys that I've bought in the last 10 years have been vintage
(or customs based on vintage toys).

Never really thought much about that til I saw Hectors post, right after I
posted in the DCD Robin 13" thread

I'm so sick and tired of the "new in the market" Star Wars toys (not vintage stuff though), George Lucas is a bloody leechin' thief, he robbed me of 7 hours of my life going through his new trilogy garbage (I know, my own fault), I can't stand his new movies, I hope the new trilogy original prints burn in Hades for eternity. (I will always love the original trilogy though).

Nope, I no longer buy his new toys.

Hey---make a die cast Indiana Jones with this detailing at this price and I'll go $150

[Mikey]

Speaking as Mego Museum's very own proud cheap-skate...... let me say this....

Those figures are over-price by about $95.00

What a rip

[huedell]

i don't know if or when I'll ever buy these---but I loves Star Wars,
and, well, if I ever do buy 'em the price seems right to me

My view has always been that if a figures is made well...$100 is usually
my kinda price, custom or otherwise----of course there are exceptions
----always things to consider, but $100 looks about right for these beauties
at first glance

This is just a painful reminder of what Mego passed on in 1977 and what probably would have kept them a household name to this day. Oh well...But $100.00 for a brand new figure? Insane. Hey alot of people were complaining about some of the Signature Series figures being $20.00, so I can't imagine any collector paying five times that for a over produced movie line. Insane...

[The Bat]

edited...because two treads combined.

[The Bat]

WOW! Well....They'll get Me for the Vader...because I could never make on that nice...it's AWESOME! I'll find the money!!

[Wolverine1969]

$100? No thanks. Just a bit too steep.

Sweeeeeeeet!

Hobbylink Japan has the Vader for $104.00 - with extensive images of the inner diecast body, accessories & whatnot.

HLJ's a great company. Japanese hobby items sold at Japanese retail without the typical secondary/collector market mark-up.
