Wow, that's the best news I heard all day! Saves me a trip to the bank. :D Thanks Mike!

Hmmmn, well, I can't say that I'm thrilled either. When Ken alluded to another line of Muppet toys that hadn't even been discussed yet, I think many of us were hoping for puppets. As Ken said, this isn't a new idea, as McFarlane has been supersizing his Movie Maniacs line into 18" figures...

"emcee Lilly", "Muppet Lilly", "Lilly's Pad" (with a Kermit avatar)? I bet all the girls, Heidi Klum included, call you "Tiger Lilly". :D Wokka, wokka! Sorry, I'm sure you've heard that ten thousand times. ;) "I'll show you what I think of your curse, you mewling little, LILLY...

Okay, I got jealous of you guys and all your changes, so I changed names and avatars, thanks to a helpful mod (you rock!). :D Previously muppetlabs

Wow, very cool. Nice to hear a story like that.

Now that you mention it, I do remember reading a long time ago about some of the Simpsons voice actors grumbling about the pennies they were making from the figs.

I honestly don't know how the Simpsons figs can be so cheap. I know they don't have much articulation, but Playmates really gives a lot of bang for your buck compared to other toy lines, especially when you add in the cost of voice technology and licensing. Having said that, I could care...

Yeah, I saw that karmadorje. I don't include auctions like that in the sales report, because I feel like that's an aberration and it doesn't reflect the current market value. It's the seller's fault it sold so low, because they underestimated the value of the piece and put their buy it now...

"Drunken partygoers scratch out Beaker's eyes!" FLEET SCRIBBLER

I can see the headline now: "Mike Horn's brother selling Beaker forgeries on ebay!" ;) FLEET SCRIBBLER

Exactly. What are the prices going to be like after that happens when there are only a handful floating around on ebay?

Check out this Invisible Beaker http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1751953157 Notice the lack of pupils. I also find it strange that this particular Beaker has been conveniently removed from his baggie. Here's an Invisible Beaker in baggie...

Holy Moley! The rare pieces are on the way back up in a big way! We've got completed sales of $175, $164, $170, and $201 for the Kermit Lunch box piece over the last three days. The Dr. Teeth variant reset his all time high closing price on ebay three times this week, after setting his last...

Yeah, actually Grail, I do think being one of the biggest jerks around is his fault. ;) Even if he's being a bootie kisser to the actors because they demand it, that doesn't mean he should get to poop on everyone else to make up for it. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I really don't care for the promoter myself. Actually, I find him to be one of the biggest jerks around, unless you're an actor on a sci fi show, or a sports celebrity, then he kisses your butt. I avoid him like the plague when I see him at the convention each year. Other than that...

Have you been watching "The Trailer Park Boys" again? ;)

Again, I'd cite the kid viewing factor. Too long and kid's lose interest. That's why kid's movies only last about an hour and a half tops.

Sigh, if you fly me in I'll volunteer!! I wish you guys were coming to the Toronto Con (biggest comic show in Canada).

I'm not Ken, but I can field this one. The Willy Wonka you saw was indeed in Toyfare. It was an ANDGOR.COM custom figure. They've done about a dozen different large custom figures for Toyfare, including Inigo Montoya for you Princess Bride fans out there. So it was an unlicensed and...

The Clerks animated series?
