Series 7 Half off at Suncoast

[mountdew]

I was at the Suncoast at Fox Run Mall (New Hampshire) and they had about 2 or 3 cases of series seven finally reduced to half off. So check your local Suncoast to see if they are doing the same. I know not all are half off cause I checked the Mall of New Hampshire later the same day, theirs were still 25% off. Just thought I would give a heads up to anyone who was waiting to purchase the rest of series 7. They had all but pin striped Johnny.

Very cool - you guys are lucky over there!

Well, it's not that cool since it means series 7l, like many others, can't sell at full price. I can only imagine how many series 7 figures there must be at TRU stores across the US.

I know. We've got SO many S7 extras up here where I live...

It's a customizer's dream really. If I had more Robin's near me I'd have an entire Frog Scout troop by now.

Sorry Wig. I meant cool for the average person who wants to get some figures at a bargain price. Not Palisades or people with an interest in how things go in the future, yes it's unfortunate in that aspect. It says a lot about the Muppets profile right now really and the way specialist action figure collecting is going really more than the figures themselves.

Everytime I see a sale like this I just think, "I hope my veggies get made." So this makes me worry.

I hope your veggies get made too, but I'm preparing for the worst at this point. Back in Spring when I saw about twelve Cliffords (regular & repaint) sitting at Suncoast for only $2.59 and several Crazy Harry and Daredevil Gonzo at Toys R Us at full price things looked grim for the line. And seeing just about everybody from series 7 at reduced price just worsens the fate of the lines future.

But I digress. Do think if asked Palisades to send me some muppet Tomatos, Carrots, and Bernice the Chicken they would? I'd be willing to pay whatever price they asked.

Wiggy,
I agree with you totally. Seeing them on sale is bad for the future of the line. However, this is an isolated thing. I hit around 10-12 stores regularly, TRU, Suncoast, and EB. Other than that 1 Suncoast, all the others either have nothing left, or a few beauregard's. I know of one Suncoast that still had a few 4's, and even a Vacation Pepe left, but thats a hidden gem (for me who started with series 6). Even TRU has had none left. They all finally even got rid of their Series 1 Ms Piggys.
On the bright side, once the Suncoast's got their series 8 in, I have seen even less of those in stores than I have of series 7. (I know they probally just order less) But I see maybe one or two of series 8 left on the racks. So there is still life left in the series.

It's good to know series 8 won't likely go on sale, but it's too late anyway since Mediaplay didn't order series 9. Poor series 9. And now ten is in limbo somewhere in 2005. So sad.
