Us is two people, one who is currently active and the other who is gone (not deceased, just retired). The us member who went onto bigger and better things is Sean Griffen. He started Mego Central. Thanks Sean for all of your hard work (Sean has been immortalized in the Customs gallery so check out his work).

The other member of us is me, who has a name, Laurie Halbritter, and who is currently revising and expanding this website. I acquired the site from Sean in the summer of 2000 and have made a lot of additions and changes since then, while trying to maintain the "spirit" of Mego Central.

I've been collecting figures since I was a kid. I was anal-retentive, saved the boxes. Unfortunately, I threw the cards away but at least my figures were allowed to be free (for a time)..... The boxed figures, to their dismay, were returned to their boxes around the onset of puberty and continue to stare angrily through cellophane at the dusty, contaminated world around them.

As a comic-reading, Mego-collecting kid, I thought that the only two people who collected Megos were Kevin Almond, my neighbor down the road and myself. Every month or so we'd get together and compare our "stock," salivating over the other's latest acquisitions (I was more of a DC kid, while he was an avid Marvel fan).
