How Scarce are EMCE Romulans these days?

[samurainoir]

Are Romulans getting hard to find in the wild? If they were really popular, perhaps this might indicate potential for other Romulan Star Trek retro figures to be made?

I think they may have sold fast to collectors that needed accessories for their vintage Mego Romulan. My Mego is still missing boots, so it might be a good idea to pick up an EMCE Romulan.

[MIB41]

I'm surprised they haven't reissued this figure for another run. Seems like it would be very popular.

[Perp]

Don't know about actual "scarcity", but the prices are getting ridiculous...

Then again, I so rarely see them on EBAY now, perhaps they were all bought in bulk....

the good doctor said ,in some thread ,that he sold 500 romulans ,and he sold out,it was a well done reissue,its selling well cause its so cool,i bought three when they came out .

Shame a round 2 is not likely, no?

Hey, if all you're missing are the boots, you can buy those from Doc directly.
Same ones used on the Emce Retro Romulan, and you won't be 'gouged' on buying a complete figure just to get the boots. I believe he still list those on his sight.

whew Im glad I bought two

[toys2cool]

it's a beauty of a fig so i'm not surprised

[drmego]

round 2

A second round is easily likely - talk to retailers. They are the people
who make the decision. Diamond Select Toys will comission another
run if Diamond Comics gave them a purchase order for a decent
quantity. Diamond Comics takes its marching orders from retailers -
large and small.

Me too.

I hope Doc will re-make second wave EMCE Romulans for us this year......

Like he did re-made second wave EMCE Captain Kirk, Mr.Spock, Dr.McCoy and the Klingon.

I have second wave EMCE Mr.Spock with gold cuffed that has the wrong body color, it's belongs to Sulu's body.

He has pal skin color but looks good near matches Spock's face.

I have only a couple of them currently and am very skimmish about letting them go at all. They are a very nicely done figure.

I knew I should have bought more at the time. I even told myself I should buy more because I think this is going to be a hot figure. Like most I did not go with my first instinct as my second thought was they will be plentiful.

I do hope that there is a second round indeed. The figure is too nice to not have another shot. Besides it is obviously a great seller. Why not keep selling them while you can.

[The Bat]

I'm glad I bought 5 of them.

But instead of a "re-release", I'd like to see the Romulan released in a TV accurate costume.

[Nostalgiabuff]

i bought a few as well. great looking figure

Mego Romulans

From what I have read, the reason why the Mego Romulans were (are) popular, is after Mego corp made the figure, they sent them out on the first deliveries, before they got the chance to send out the second wave, their was a fire at the plant and the rest were destroyed, 3 other Trek aliens that came out with the Romulan series 2, suffered the same fate, Talosian and not sure of the other 2 maybe Mugato and Neptunain? Mego never botherd to remake them, budget cost probably since they had the inflation problem back then.
