    Welcome to the forums. That's awesome you were able to share your enjoyment of Megos with your son.

    Almost Went into a State of Shock!!

    Had no IDEA Mattel/EMCE launched this Retro-Action line... Until the other day when I took my 6 year-old son to TRU. I told him he could get a toy so he picked out a Zsu Zsu Pet. He has been wanting one for months.

    So we're walking through what I refer to as "the predictable action figure ailes" when I stop dead in my tracks to see Wave 1 of the Retro figures just hanging there... My first reaction was "No... no way that's real..." I almost had a freaking heart attack. I could not believe it, it was like a dream.

    For a couple of years now, my little boy has had a blast playing with a few of my old beat-up condition Megos. And some extra FC figs. He always wanted "his own." So I turned to him and said, "would you rather have one of these instead?" and he said "Yes!" he picked out a Superman.

    I cannot tell you enough how many Mego-related dreams I have had over the years. I'm 44 and I swear I have had a Mego dream every few months for YEARS. Most of them involve finding an old warehouse with cases of them. Or i would see them relaunched at retail in current-day and I could buy them for like $2.99 each. Needless to say I always fill a couple of carts when I have this dream. lol.

    Now I get to live the Mego dream once again! Closest thing I'm ever going to come to it! And my son loves them! Makes me happy! I just wish they were priced a little more fairly, say $9.99 ea. $20 seems a bit extreme...
