I just got back from buying stamps for myself. I had to go to four different Post Office branches to get them, though! They "weren't in yet."

I went to one yesterday (since usps.com said the stamps were supposed to be released on the 28th) but was told they had the stamps but couldn't sell them here until the 29th--I got the impression the 28th release was only in one place, while everywhere else had to wait until today. I went back to that branch this morning, but still couldn't buy the stamps--they were in the safe, and the manager hadn't come in yet, so they couldn't open the safe. Sheesh.

Anyway, I have some now, and I was told this is the first time the Postal Service has issued a sheet with eleven stamps on it instead of ten (that's ten muppets and one stamp of Jim). They're only sold in sheets, I was told--you can't buy just one stamp.

You can also buy a Muppet "Staying in Touch Kit" (or something like that) that includes the stamps as well as note cards featuring Muppet photos (the same photos as the stamps, I think, but I might be wrong) and envelopes. I wasn't interested, and I don't remember the price on that.

I wish they'd used better Muppet models instead of the infamous "poser" Muppets, but otherwise I'm pleased.

I really want these stamps and have since I heard about them but dont know how I'm going to get them. Does anyone know if they are available online or on ebay somewhere? hopefully they soon will be, I know some US stamps are sold on ebay here in Australia sometimes.

Having trouble getting your stamps?

As far as I know no, but I sell alot on Ebay, and I am willing to list them for my cost plus shipping for anyone who is interested. Just private message me for details. I am always glad to help out a Muppet fan, and shipping for such a small item will be inexpensive. The stamps are adorable.
