Good point, Saddam is a dangerous man, his actions in the past have been inhumane to say the least. He is a threat and he should be taken from power, but the fact is the US had that opporunity 12 years ago and they didn't follow through with it. I guess it should also be pointed out that the US...

Sorry I'm late getting to this thread, I just have a few things to add: I'm not sure that it was meant as suggesting that Bush not attack Afghanistan after 9/11, as Al Queda at the time had much of its operation base there. I think the concern was whether or not shifting gears to go after...

Sounds like the series finale of Cheers!! But seriously, I think that the reason no kind of "curtain call" per se was ever done was for the very reason that the Muppets weren't "retiring", they were still going on to work on other projects. I think the creators wanted to continue the image of...

Another interesting sighting in downtown Vancouver the other night. I came across a Mega Beaker at Virgin Records and according to the EB website they haven't shipped yet. Now that could be just EB doing that while other retailers have received their product and are already selling them I don't...

Thanks for the input guys. So it looks like the Gene Kelly ep is the official/unofficial final episode, and I totally agree, a nice touch at the end to send off the series.

Just a quick question: who was the guest star on the final episode of the series, and did they do anything special during the episode to indicate that it was the last one?

If you have no objection to buying online, I saw the other day that Amazon.com still has the red Floyd.

Hey bcFraggle, I actually haven't been downtown for some time so I'm not sure if Golden Age or Virgin is still carrying the line. I know that Golden Age did still have a lot of Series one a few months ago. I did see Series two figures and playset at Tazmanian comics in Burnaby, but the regular...

There really isn't much of a price difference between the Canadian and US stores. When series one came out EB was selling them for about 10.99. TRU was a bit more expensive, selling their figs at 14.99. However, with series two (EB the only store selling them), they were going for 9.99! In the...

Personally, I cringe at the idea of a MTI playset. To me, the largest appeal is those properties from the Muppet Show itself, such as the Backstage and Vet's Hospital ideas that have been floating around. I think to expand to broadly into some of the lesser known and lesser thought of projects...

YES, there is a Bean Bunny! I was just at California Adventure a couple of weeks ago, and they did have Bean Bunny in both bean bag form and the larger plush. The girl I was talking to who worked there said that they are always running out of Bean Bunny, the current order took them 6 months to...

Hey bcfraggle, if it comes to this I may end up heading down to Bellingham when I hear the new series are being released, so you're more than welcome to hitch a ride down. I guess we'll just have to play it by ear and see what happens...

My suggestion then would be to get in touch with your local comic shop, they usually carry a variety of toys, and I know that if they deal through Diamond, which most retailers do, they can order the Muppet figures for you. Perhaps you can make some kind of arrangement with them. I know that...

Yeah, I got the impression from EB that they really weren't committed to the line here in Canada. They seemed to order only one case and whatever I had preordered (which was only the Playset). But the few EB games I visited in the States over the holidays were just packed with Muppet stuff. It...

I dunno bcfraggle, the EB in Burnaby got their pre-ordered stuff in. I only pre-ordered the playset tho' since I kinda anticipated they'd be getting some of the figures in as well. I managed to snag a Floyd from the guy, but the rest were on hold. I did see a Fozzie and Blue Floyd on the shelves...

looking back on the posts, it seems that this has already been addressed. It's just a shame though that people not in the know will not have a chance to see these awesome figures, and for us in the know to actually get them. Especially when I look at the selection of crappy toys EB has on their...

Ok guys, this sucks. I'm not seein' the Muppet Series 2 anywhere. The Toys R Us by me doesn't have any at all, and it seems that the closest EB's only got one case in each. I was fortunate enough to have pre-ordered the playset and I picked up a Floyd, but it seems the well is dry. Any sightings...

Sorry to backtrack a bit, but it was Steve performing. There was a shot of the concert where you could see him performing Kermit...

OOh! I would totally be interested. I'm not sure I have much to trade, depends what you're looking for. I've got some episodes of Muppets Tonight and some Fraggle Rock as well. I could also throw in the ultra rare Star Wars Christmas special starring Chewie's wife and son (this is for real)...

If the Happiness Hotel is on "hiatus", where does that leave Pops? We gotta have Pops!!!
