Dave McCormick did a session on reproduction Mego parts (a session related to the Museum's Accessory Check section). He covered reproduction parts, how to identify them, and their impact on prices and collecting.

There was another MegoMuseum benefit raffle. Proceeds benefited the Mego Museum general bandwidth, card and assistance fund. All kinds of prizes were donated from within the Mego community (see those in on the raffle page of this site). Thanks to all who contributed prizes.

New in 2007 was a custom figure auction, and we did it again in 08. Several talented customizers donated a complete custom figure for a benefit auction. These figures were posted online on the raffle/benfit auction page, and proxy bids were taken, so even those that can not be there could participate. This was a lot of fun.

Preceeding the Custom Figure Auction was our annual Custom Panel, 08 featured Derek Combs, Jim Hampton and David Lee. This was a chance for general custom questions to be asked of different customizers within the community. Helpful hints and "trade secrets" were shared and ideas exchanged.
