Terrific TV Toys: Mary Ellen Walton and the glorious grab bag, Mego+, 1970s

Have you ever experienced the joy of a grab bag??? Call this experience grab bag "lite," because this bag you can actually see through, so you can get an idea what's in it! And though it may not be quite as daring as a grab bag you can't see through, it is thoroughly thrilling, nonetheless!

He loves "The Waltons," and before now he has never owned any of the wonderful Mego figures released for the series back in the 1970s. Well, now he does -- the better one of the two! The other goes on the BRBTV shelves. So what else is in that wonderful bag! Just behold ...
