A 1977 Mego Order Form with Buyer's Notes

In a box of very musty paperwork comes this wonderful bit of Mego history. It's a 1977 Mego Order Form complete with the thoughts of the toy buyer, it's interesting to see what the thought process was at the time. Click on each image for a better look:

Page One The buyer seems impressed with the two million dollar Cher TV promotion but not the items that won't have commercials. Apparently he doesn't care for Jaclyn Smith or Lindsay Wagner much...

Page Two No love for the Star Trek Mission to Gamma 6 Playset and the Science Kits are labelled "Difficult Item" but the Trekulator is great? CB Mchaul is a total no go but there is much love for the Wayne Foundation.

Page Three A lot of lines like Our Gang and One Million BC get shot down but Muhammad Ali, Starsky and Hutch and King Kong get gold stars. Most interesting is the thumbs up for the abandoned Comic Action Spiderman Tower playset, too bad more buyers didn't think that way.....
