Kahn!

[txteach]

Very cool about the Khan figure but an exclusive? I think the scalpers will chomping at the bit for this. Ebay will be their playground.

This is a double edged sword.
On one hand I am happy to have complete figures that look like originals but if you had an original - it has lost value.

My Knights are examples of both. I bought the CTVT knights & merry men and sold my original Arthur (with good box, sans crown) and loose Gallahad (missing all accessories) thinking the two originals would more than pay for the 9 replicas.
-They didn't - the Arthur had dropped significantly from what it was going for a year earlier.
On the plus side I have representations of everyone.

Now - I have a Keeper that will go down in value but I have andorian and romulan that i prob never would have had.

btw - I should qualify this all as CASH value and not intrinsic value because they are wholely different.

I understand, and I hate to cause debate. I respect Paul's efforts and I am a huge fan of Dunsels. If it means an original Dunsel Mego Line, I can live with the loss of value of my original Mego rarities. I haven't sold them yet. But if it means new Rare chase figures that will replace the high valued Rommy and Andorian, that bothers the heck out me.

Oh man! THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE! I just got off of the phone with Trappy about this and he's absolutely THRILLED! ALMOST AS MUCH AS I AM! BANG UP JOB DOC! Hey Joe, while people are placing orders, I'll take 4!

...And if you want an original Andorian or Rommy, those can be had for about $150 or less these days...

FYI, we online dealers, according to my Diamond rep, will sadly not be able to offer the Khans. Also, there's supposed to be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive as well. Not sure what it is yet, though!

Good gimic for a new rare chase figure.

How is this making figures more available to everyone who wants one?

I wouldn't be so steamed about it if the Romulan and Andorian were left alone.

Fairness across the board is the decent way to go.

Btw, anyone who want's an FX GAH chase fig can have one for $150 on ebay or $300 at DM.com. And if you want an original Andorian or Rommy, those can be had for about $150 or less these days.

Rare chase figures frustrated the collectors of Playmates and the bottom eventually dropped out.

I have two Hastings within spitting distance of my house. If all else fails, I'll gladly pick them up for whoever needs them.

You Da Man Joe! And thank You for My recent order...You've actually been FASTER than anybody else I've ordered from lately!

[Brue]

... I made the jumpsuit - which explains the lack of sophistication.

Very Megoey

I echo the concern of My fellow Members....will I actually be able to get My Hands on one or two Khan's?? I live in Maine...which is as far north as You can get...next stop Canada!

[censy]

wow.

Great news to wake up to. It makes you realize that anything is possible.

Thanks to all involved for keeping the Mego dream alive.

Us Mego collectors here in Atlantic Canada are excites as well. My concern will be the availability as well as a middleman here doing a crazy mark-up. I want this figure BAD, but I'm not paying fifty bucks for it.

Hopefully they will be reasonably priced and available from the DST website.

Living in Nova Scotia sucks somes times because I get screwed on shipping costs and mark-ups.

That being said, thank you for keeping Mego alive! I really does mean a lot to me and my brothers.

Actually Dave did not have anything to do with Khan's jumpsuit. I asked Dave, but he was busy with real life, and I had to get the prototypes out to China and DST before
the end of October, so I made the jumpsuit - which explains the lack of sophistication.

[noelani72]

in my overall excitement at this figure's official release, I failed to give credit where credit is due- DaveMC. Dave designed the pattern for that suit, except his was a wee bit more detailed.
