MEGO: STAR TREK RETRO BRIDGE PLAYSET

This is pretty sweet - they are "rereleasing" the classic Mego Star Trek Bridge playset. Its based on the original designs from the early 1970s but with some slight modifications. The set includes a Mego crewman for transporter goodness. You can find them online for preorder from $45-60... much cheaper than shelling out the dough for original vintage ones. I hope they continue to "rerelease" other classic Mego sets... like the ones from PLANET OF THE APES!! Man, I'd love to have those!And in conclusion... pick up the cool book MEGO 8" SUPER-HEROES: WORLD'S GREATEST TOYS!

Awesome!
As a kid, my best friend's older brother had it... it was the best! We'd play with it when he wasn't around, heh. There's a store nearby that has a vintage one, in box, for $300. Sooo tempting... but $300? I simply can't do it. So fingers crossed they will do a rerelease!
