\"Mego<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the pages that I drooled over in the 1980 Consumer’s Distributing catalogue would be this spread of Mego (Well here in Canada, Grand Toys), Star Trek the Motion Picture and Buck Rogers toys.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was that kid who loved the Motion Picture merchandise mainly because of the Marvel comic. Buck Rogers was also “must-see TV” in my household.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consumers had a great assortment of Mego Star Trek<\/a> merchandise, including four of the Aliens. All of the Aliens were sold in Canada because Grand Toys paid upfront for merchandise with a letter of credit, so even though Star Trek was a dud for Mego<\/a>, the second wave hit Canadian shores regardless.<\/strong><\/p>\n
