Emce TREK MEGOS $4.99 at FAO Schwarz Online

indeed, all repro are not the same i've never brought a castaway yet (but i would like to get the fly) but emce are much better looking figures than ctvt and their licenses are better too. imo

CTVT

Too bad cuz I think some of their [CTVT] stuff would have done well if it hadn't been for the quality issues.

Yeah.

I almost ordered the Pirates and Knights and Robin Hood but I hear the quality is awful.

I guess I could buy them and swap them onto Doc bodies but I can't afford it at the moment.

i brought some ctvt's monsters a few years ago and was less then impressed with the quilty so, i've stayed away from these but after buying one they are pretty well made figures. i'd like to get more.

EMCE stuff and CTVT stuff is not even comparable. Especially at the figure level. Once ya get past the "Hey I need a repro Knight shield or a Pirate hat", the CTVT desire falls off quickly. I did like the Space 1999 idea and grabbed those. Will probably end up with the Married with Children stuff too cuz I loved that show, but there's not a real lot after that. The Munsters stuff looked cool and so did the Lucy line but the quality was just so bad. I bet of the Space 1999 line I got 4 or 5 that were damaged, and from the repro'd lines like Knights, Pirates, half of em were crap. They were good to make my figures look complete until originals can be found but the bodies got dumped in a giant ebay lot. Too bad cuz I think some of their stuff would have done well if it hadn't been for the quality issues.

Wow. No kidding.
I didn't see livnxxxl's post. I meant "Wow" 60'schild got in under the wire.

[livnxxxl]

Amen. This is a good feature of the museum. Ivaniski hooked us up with the Heads Up on this one and many of us have taken advantage of it. He probably moved 50 megos at least out of FAO whether they made a mistake or not. I think I got 22 of them. Maybe 100 were bought.

Yes, Much thanks to Ivaniski for the heads up on this. That was very cool indeed.

[60'schild]

Thanks guys! Now I just have to haunt the mailbox until they arrive...

Talk about getting in right under the proverbial wire (ordered last night).

[cdhall]

I am glad to see that you took the initiative to join us and jump right in on such a great opportunity.

The site's changed. Now when you click the link,you get an info page.

Hmmm.....Interesting.....I guess we will just have to wait to see now what Toys R Us has in store for us. (no pun intended there)

[livnxxxl]

I do sincerely hope that we do not help FAO's demise by cashing in on such a wonderful opportunity.

It sounds more like F-A-UHH-OHH now. I do hope that the buy out brings about a good thing. I liked FAO. It is a bummer to see them go.

Just got off the phone with the Las Vegas store... got 3 Scotts and 6 andorians (one for a Thelin!) and a couple of Keepers!

Thank you, Megomuseum!!

Congrats to you on your purchase and welcome to the infamous Mego Museum. I made my purchase through the Vegas store as well. I am glad to see that you took the initiative to join us and jump right in on such a great opportunity. I hope that you continue to enjoy the rest of your stay here at The Museum.

If they had doen this a couple of months ago, maybe they could have kept the Macys locations stocked with better merchandise and opened. And I wouldn't be out of a job as of Saturday. Geez.
