new figure pics from toy fair!

Yay! Looking forward to the repros and the new figures. Believe it or not, as much as I love the TV accurate Gorn, I would've loved the Mego cobbled version as well. But he is wasy enough to piece together or buy. Thanks to Paul for going through the hoops nessasary to get this thing off the ground.

Somebody Pinch me!!.......I must be dreamin'. All of my favorite Star Trek Characters coming out with the Brady touch is AWESOME!!! Doc You Tha' MAN.

[kept back]

I'm curious if we are going to see a new body for the Gorn or if he's going to be on the 7th Street green body.

[The Bat]

HEAVEN!! I'm in HEAVEN!! This is UNBELIEVABLE News!! All My Mego dreams are coming true...accurate GORN, Checkov & Sulu, and the Bridge Playset...I WANT THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Doc...You really DID IT!!!! GREAT Job!!!!

[Hulk]

Oh yeah, Hey Thomas... Nya Nya Nya Nya Nya Nah!

[Hulk]

OK Paul, you've done it now. A show accurate Gorn? Sulu, Checkov? This is the day I'vel been waiting for since you announced the license. My heartiest thanks and congratulations. I'm looking forward to them all, and I'm also particularly excited to hear about new licenses. New Mego Scale figures are what interest me most about collecting nowadays.

To see all of this Mego product coming back out is simply breathtaking. If these lines continue to be successful, I don't see any reason why we won't see a new RC Batman again or any of the other World's Greatest Superheroes. If Marvel or DC are watching... PAY ATTENTION!!!!

[Remco Monster]

Sweet. Really looking forward to a Sulu.

Well, I have no interest in a repro of the original Bridge Playset. Now a more show accurate one would get my attention and money!

[fumetti]

Okay, so the Bridge is a teaser. Great idea!

I want this.

But my purchase will greatly depend on the price. I might go as high as $50, but anything higher and my interest drops proportionately. I can get a displayable Bridge for $50 or so on eBay.

Trekmovie.com says similar:

They displayed the figures in a classic bridge playset. Diamond said they hope to come out with their own playset, but were not committing to it.

[Sideshow Spock]

Ah, I see figures.com answers my question..

Also on display was the original Mego Bridge Playset, which Diamond will use to gauge retailer interest in a recreation of the original Mego release. Keep your finger crossed and support the line throughout this next year, to send a DST message to get that made!

I'm not into Star Trek these days (I liked the original series when I was a kid and sometimes I watch the reruns on late night tv) but during my eBay searches for POTA and other Megos, I stumble across the Bridge playset quite often. And most times it seems to sell for less than $60, heck I've seen it "BIN" for $50. Weren't the Bridge playsets overproduced or something?

Un-boxed playsets in nice shape go for $20-40. $40 is even pushing it. Playsets with trashy boxes pretty much go for likewise. Sets in very good or excellent boxes might push up into the $50-100 range on a generous day.

From the MM gallery description:

The Price: The Enterprise was overproduced to a fault. (In fact, sometimes it seems like it's almost easier to find a loose, mint Enterprise than a loose, mint Scottie!) Thanks to the sheer number of these toys, they can be had for next-to-nothing. On a good day, you can even find one mint-in-box on eBay for under a hundred bucks!

I bought a beautiful playset in a pristine box a couple years ago for $30. Granted, it was partially hidden, but still...

So what's the deal with the bridge playset, Doc?

[LordMalvolio]

Three cheers for show accurate Gorn!!!!!!

Hurray!

Hurray!

Hurray!!!

[Action Martin]

Thats a really crazy question to ask....
Why would one spend $100+ on a set that is old and used when you can get a brand new for probably under $100?

I just hope they do something similar with the POTA line.

A reasonably priced Treehouse would be most welcome.
