Hey Gorry, get to bed! ;) Oh yeah, school's out for the summer..... nevermind as well... ;)

Yeah, I can't see anyone but a completist like me caring enough that the error Beaker is more limited. I mean comparatively, the boxed VC Beaker kicks the cheap bagged VC Beaker's heinie for eye appeal, so I can't see anyone paying a premium for it. I probably wouldn't even want it if I didn't...

AGH! Someone save me from my completist self! :) Here's what happened to the error "invisible Beakers" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1748077451

Ken, I figured Beaker would sell out quickly. I bet you guys could have moved 5,000 of him at that show. Thanks for answering my question. I'm glad it's going to be the same packaging. No packaging variation saves me from my completist sydrome. ;) So, I'm assuming that the...

Yeah Gorry, make sure you get there REALLY early. I'm sure tomorrow's allotment will go even faster after folks see this auction on ebay. Beaker didn't even last four hours on ebay either (and I think it takes a couple hours for an item to get into their search engine): and so it...

Forget your Ghostbuster's Ray, check out that Jessica Rabbit! Va Va Va Voom! ;) There is a company called andgor.com that makes some top notch custom heads for 12 inch scale dolls. Many of their custom toys have been featured in Toyfare's "Wish List" section, such as Gene Wilder as Willy...

I still can't believe that I had the Mego Romulan from the Star Trek aliens series when I was a kid. Apparently that doll is worth about $1500.00 in the package nowadays. That would fund a lot of Muppets figs. ;)

Question for you Ken. Is the fully invisible Beaker that you're going to giveaway at the industry party the same as the Vanishing Cream Beaker, except without the partial painting on his lower half? What I mean is, could we potentially make our own fully invisible Beaker by stripping all the...

Holy Cow! "Far, far less" than $200.00? Good for you. Sounds like a steal right now. I really don't know what to make of this lunchbox Kermit figure. I know I can live without it. As Ken said, the only thing different about lunchbox kermit is the sticker and the blister bubble inside...

Toyfare cashed my check, so I should be getting my tux Kermit soon too I guess. I'm glad that I did order through Toyfare after all, since Ken said that TRU Canada passed on the Kermit exclusive. Oh, and what do you mean $6.00 for a sticker? How much is the tux Kermit at TRU? Amazon.com...

I agree that if someone is going to complain about Harry, they're going to do it anytime of the year, not just in September. So there's no sense in jeopardizing the line by playing around with the shipping schedule and delaying things. And the flip side of potential negative media surrounding...

Re: Are These Numbers Right? Yeah, Uncle Duke, I saw that too and wondered where they got their numbers, since Ken says he doesn't get into numbers. Another earlier seller quoted this number, and compared and contrasted it as well, saying that 100,000 regular Miss Piggy's were made. I figured...

Hi Ken, I don't know if this has been resolved yet, but I know some folks were wondering if you thought of a way to limit the number of scalpers from grabbing all the VC Beakers at the convention? I had an idea. What if you made each customer at the Palisades booth show you their ticket...

Woo Hoo! I went to EB today and picked up an exclusive Piggy. I was happy to see that she was cheaper than the website price to boot! I also got to see all the figs in the line in person for the first time. I ordered a whole case of the Muppet figs from my comic retailer a long while...

Yeah, I agree that folks will get ticked with too many unobtainable exclusives. When I heard Ken first mention that Palisades made the Dr. Teeth variant to bring to the Philly convention, I thought it was a terrible idea, because many people who collect have the "all or nothing" mentality with...

I see no evidence that these are speculation buys by the winners of the last three auctions. "Aurareader", who had been outbid on several of the previous Dr. Teeths seems to have simply gotten tired of being outbid and was willing to drop $99.99 for the fig (which included free shipping)...

Three Dr. Teeth variants sold on ebay tonight with buy it now prices of $90.00, $90.00, and $99.99, so it looks like my prediction of Dr. Teeth selling for $100.00 by July 1st wasn't too far fetched. Each of the three auctions lasted less than six hours before someone grabbed Dr. Teeth. ...a...

Ah, but don't underestimate the power of Toyfare. They have a loyal flock of sheep who follow them. I've seen both a poll and a declaration both coronating the Muppet Show line as "The next Simpsons" as far as hot toy lines go. And, like it or not, Toyfare has a stake in the line. Their...

I couldn't disagree more about your statement that now is the time to sell the Dr. Teeth exclusive. I think the prices we're seeing on ebay now are only the tip of the iceberg. Sure the bell curve is swinging back up now after bottoming out at $35.00, but I think a lot of these figures will...

I'd like to jump in here for a me too post about the Vanishing Cream Beaker Wizard World Chicago exclusive. I couldn't hook up with anyone for the Philly Dr. Teeth, and was one of the lowly "dozen who contacted Palisades" about buying the fig directly from them after the show, but we all know...
