My post was auto-censored when I was talking about arbitrarily-stilted language. How profound.

George Orwell may never have predicted mobile phones... but text message language is pretty **** close to NewSpeak in so many ways. And, yeah, I'm all for health and saving the environment... but not when those terms are used as euphemisms for wiping the egg off the government's collective face.

Apologies for yet another Schleich-related post. I PROMISE you that when I finish this obsessive Schleich-gathering mission I'll have some interesting things to show you. I am trying in vain to clarify the situation when other companies' imprints are on Schleich figures, both Muppet Show and...

So, while we spend another thread speculating about the possibility of McDonald's having movie-themed Happy Meal toys, another much deeper issue surfaces: It's been acknowledged that the Disney/McDonald's arranged marriage was anulled by the fact that McDonald's can't pull off the 'wholesome...

Is there any logical reason for having these things in Muppet Show-themed boxes?

Giving the movie full Rocky Horror treatment? :D Hmmm... how long til we see a Muppet-themed episode of Glee?

If you head that way again, any chance you could bring back a Hover Board and some self-lacing shoes? I don't want to wait another four years for them.

Personally, I'd be concerned if McDonald's announced anything to the 'pubic'.

As a vegetarian with tree-hugging ideals, it pleases me that there will always be someone selling sets on the 'bay. That and the fact that now I am based in Canberra, the restaurants are much more spread out than the 20-or-so in the Sydney CBD alone.

Smurf items are so tempting, especially with the new movie coming out... but I really have to stop myself from having yet amother collection. So, muppetperson, do you go into Maccas on a regular basis for toys, or do you put your faith in the folk who will build up collections of Happy Meal...

That's the thing. They all have that wire hooked into their heads, but Miss Piggy's is so much higher.

I was thinking mainly of the possibility German items that might be in some sort of packaging, and would therefore be written as 'Danish'

Why, thank you, Beauregard. I curse the moderator who changed the title of this thread from my original name ("A ridiculously anal question")

Hey, all. My quest to gather Schleich figures in all their forms continues. Does anyone know if these keychains were genuine products, or if they would have been prepared by a hobbyist who wanted to make a few extra bucks at a flea market?

Chef items sold by German eBayers are often listed as 'Danish Chef', which is fair enough since the Chef was Danish in the German dubs of the show. So... if we are listing items in our collections, and they are made by German manufacturers (like Schleich, for example), should we still refer to...

How about a Sesame Street historical society, where one of the newer/younger Muppets goes in to talk to one of the old-timers about some issue, and it always results in the old-timer getting out the Sesame Street photo album or home movies to show an old SS clip that somehow relates to the...

You don't mean this book do you?: http://www.plunderhere.com/In-the-Peanut-Butter-Colony-Vintage-VERY-RARE-BOOK-1019418.html

Hey all, Undertaking a one-man, non-world-shattering, unscientific research mission about variations in Schleich Muppet PVCs. There have actually been some interesting findings. With this in mind, could you please look at your Fozzie figurine for me and report: is his tie plain white, or...

Someone is selling this cartoon cel online, with the only information being that it is from Sesame Street. Does anyone recognise the animation? Can you enlighten me as to what it is?
