    Trouble with Animal

    I am so dumb! I totally forgot that Animal's eyelids opened and closed! Thanks for reminding me. It sure is a cool articulation feature! I wonder what all the chef will do? Is it true that the fridge will open and have removeable ice cube trays? If it does - that sure is amazing work and detail!

    Trouble with Animal

    My animal is okay, but now I am scared to touch him. He seems to be sensitive to being touched! - Unless you guys are abusing him in some way LOL! Sorry that I am not up to speed and knowledged on instruments, but the two peddles connected to the symbols on either side of the drums that...

    In store or online: Which is better?

    Hey GPrime! Are there any comic stores that you know of in our area that are pre-ordering series 3? Do you know if Golden Age is still selling the mupppets? Thanks for the imput, and help! Online I payed with shipping included $30 bucks canadian for one figure, that was after the exchange...

    In store or online: Which is better?

    Okay so Walmart is out for us all - sad news Canadian folks... it is looking bad. Any idea that it would be a retailer that is also based here in Canada? Like Zellers or some other speciality type store similar to EB games. Why anyways are us Canadian folks getting dealt a bad hand anyhow with...

    In store or online: Which is better?

    So I guess this means I'll need to buy series 3 for sure online ( at least the ones that I want) and pray to the retail gods that a store like Walmart ( only because they multiplied here in Canada like rabbits) will start to carry series 4. Anyone know when Toyfair is, and when we may here more...

    Hey guys! I finally got my Gonzo and Animal playset today! Yeah. Just seeing them, restored my luv for collecting the Muppets. Although now I am saddened to know that no big stores TRU/EB won't carry them anymore. Has the new retailer or new retailers been mentioned yet?

    In store or online: Which is better?

    I tend to like buying instore better than online. I bought one figure online, and was worried on how the paint job would look. Luckily everything was fine. I also bought an exclusive fig online as well. My thoughts are buying exclusives online are okay, as it is easier, but otherwise I like...

    What stores will carry the Swedish Chef Playset?

    Thanks Phill! How are things going there for American collectors? I suppose TRU is a huge toy retailer in the states as well, so I would think that a few American Collectors would be unhappy just as much as us Canadian folk. When is Toyfair? Also why wait that long to reveal the "new" store...

    Okay guys! This is what I have learnt today! EB sucks big time. My series 2 playset and Gonzo ( both prepaid ) have been sent to Alberta ( I live in B.C. ) for another customer by mistake. EB tells me, it was a mistake ( I pre-ordered in September ) and all they said is if the guy in Alberta...

    What stores will carry the Swedish Chef Playset?

    Hi there folks! I have disappeared off this forum for awhile, but know I am back... for now. I've become greatly discouraged by the lack of stores here in Canada that are not carrying or having trouble getting series 2 in. My horrors were confirmed today when my local EB apologized finally and...

    Thanks guys for your insight. I am not going to stop collecting the muppets all together should EB and TRU's stop carrying them. I am though going to not buy all of the figures from each series as I have been. I was planning on having one of each from each series, but know it looks like I am...

    Sad and discouraged This is very sad news indeed for me to hear. Just when I was getting all hyped about finally collecting a line of figures from the start, now I am dealt this big blow. This explains the lack of insight from EB, as to where my last two figures are that I preordered... seems a...

    Hey VancouverMuppet! I'll probably head over to Guildford Mall on Friday myself... a little impatient about not getting my Gonzo, and wondering if the Langley EB sold it by mistake to someone else as the clerk just randomly grabbed my prepaid figures out of the case - no names were marked on...

    I wil check in at my EB later on in the week - Friday and I will see what they have on the shelves. I am really looking forward to the last two of series 2 that I am missing... Gonzo and Animal. I may see about pre-ordering series 3 as I am so hyped about Rowlf and the Kitchen. The folk at my...

    Yeah!!! Some of my muppets finally arrived today at my EB. It was weird though cause I ordered them in September and all that was there for me was Fozzie, Floyd, and Harry. No Gonzo or animal. The guy had the case by the till and in the box I saw a Gonzo and a blue shirt Floyd. I wonder why the...
