About a month ago, my brother walked into a secondhand shop in Melbourne, Australia, and right near the entrance he spotted this Mega Bloks retail display. The first photo is actually it sitting in the shop.

He asked the shop owner where it had come from, and was told it came from an estate sale from an old toy collector. It apparently didn’t sell there, and was then donated to the shop. That part honestly makes it even crazier to me a piece like this was literally Donated.

As soon as my brother messaged me about it, I told him to buy it immediately and sent him the money straight away.

For context, this is a Mega Bloks Dragons Fire & Ice (2004) retail display for the dragon eggs, and as far as I know it originally came from Toyworld in Australia. These kinds of store displays were never normal retail products, so I imagine very few actually survived.

I haven’t got it in hand yet, but I’m extremely excited to receive it. My brother said it’s very heavy and in very good condition overall. It does have quite a bit of dust on it, but he’s going to carefully clean it up a little and polish the acrylic so it presents better.

What really stood out to me was that while my brother was carrying it out, someone stopped him and asked if he had just bought it. When he said yes, the person immediately offered him money for it on the spot. He told them it wasn’t his to sell. To me, that just shows how rare and desirable these displays actually are, especially to collectors who recognize them straight away.

I paid $170 AUD for it.

And just to be clear:

it is not for sale. Please do not DM me asking to buy it, the answer is no.

This is staying in my collection.
