I believe Woolco was Woolworth's pappy. Woolworth was a lower end chain. I believe this was so.

Didn't Woolco have a relationbship with Woolworth's?

BTW, Benjamin, your focus is, as always, quite impressive. A pretty cool list. I really enjoyed looking down the list. Aside from the stores I had mentioned, some others really brought back some waves of nostalgia.

megos were $1 at walgreens right before the second wave of them arrived.

I've got a MIB Batgirl with a price sticker that doesn't belong to any of the stores on the list. The Price sticker says [W] Wakers $1.20. I also have another MIB Batgirl that has a Price sticker that says Toy Castle with a written price. I Love this list. It's very intricate.

$1.20 Now thats a Bargain, LOL.

Thanks for the info! I have added both "Wakers" and "Toy Castle" to the list. If anyone has additional info about either store, or can provide a scan of a price sticker, I'd love to get it.

Thanks guys!

...here in the South Bay (San Jose, CA area) they were at a GREAT store called King Norman's, and also at the wonderful Kiddie World (in Santa Clara)--in fact, one of the boxes shown in the book has a Kiddie World price sticker on it! ^_^

...and I'm not sure if I missed it in the list or not, but also at Sav-on Drug stores! I remember seeing so many boxed Supergirls in Sav-on one Christmas....*sniffle*

Thanks! I'll add 'em to the listing. Are you sure that last one is a Kmart sticker? I see the "K" on the sticker, but I've never seen a Kmart sticker like that one.

You know, Now that you mention it, I'm not sure what it is.

I also have some other mystery Price stickers on a couple of WGSH Boxes, but there just the Price only.

Here are some of my WGSH boxes, I have lots of other Mego product that I can add but don't know if that's kosher. If you want to keep it solely capes I can post them in Megobuzz.



The classic.


I have a couple of Korvette's items, I never realised how awful my Mr F box is....



Ah TV Superstars, what the hell were you?

[imp]

Awesome, Brian. Thanks to you, I'm working on a new section of the Web site.

Also, Brian, I'd love to see other price stickers, regardless of which toy they adorn. Please let me know the toys, of course, but it needn't be specific to 8" or WGSH!

If anyone else has pics of price stickers on Mego items, I'd love to see them and add them into the fray.

Thanks!

1973 Mego Corp Batman Enemy Penguin Action Figure Doll - eBay (item 220274772375 end time Sep-02-08 17:50:29 PDT)

This auction has a boxed Penguin with a Grants sticker on the front. Unfortunately he's standing in front of most of it. There is also one on the boxed Riddler he has for sale and I'm betting there is one on the Joker as well. If I win one of them I'll send a better pic.

I'll also send you whatever I have from anything in my collection.

Sammy,

Thanks for the great pics!

I've added "Weiboldt's" to the list. LMK if you find any new price sticker photos to add to the list of Mego sellers!
