Well, this is the first time I've been to this site and it's been quite helpful. I do love the muppets, of course I grew up with them! I stumbled on this site while doing some research... I don't know if anyone will be able to help me in this forum, if not I'll post somewhere else.
So I was doing some cleaning and found the palisades series 1 Lab Playset that I had bought a few years ago from a local Toys R Us. The reason I bought it at the time was because it came with an Invisible Beaker. I didn't really know anything about this series of figures at the time, but I figured it was either a defect or some sort of limited edition set. I took it home, packed it away and forgot about it until recently.
Well I decided to get online and do some research, so I have found that the invisible Beaker was released in the bag as a special edition and so on. Now I went back to look at the labset package, because it wasn't in very good condition when I bought it. Well, it looks like the package was opened, but I can't really tell if the beaker was every completely removed or not. But WHY would someone replace the regular beaker with invisible one and then take it back to the store?
Has anyone heard of the invisible beaker being sold with the lab playset? I'm just trying to figure out it was packaged by mistake, or if it's more likely someone replaced the painted figure with the original. (again I don't know why someone would do that but then who knows why people do a lot of things!) Anyhow if someone could give me some input that would be great! I'd appreciate it!
