Mego Museum Labour Day Vintage Commercial Marathon

by palitoy • August 31, 2013

Long weekends and marathons go together, so we’re going through the archives and giving you some vintage Mego toy commercials and Toy Fair reels. Kicking it off with this one from 1979, the Mego Star Trek Enterprise Bridge and Vulcan Shuttle reel.
