I feel sorry that you can't get it ordered! Seems that there should be SOME company out there that will let you purchase it via the net. Did you try Suncoast.com or anything?
Problem is the shipping, which tends to be about $15 within Canada (there is an online store I can get it from, which I may end up doing), and likely more to get it from the States. And if I were to get it from the States, I've got to factor in the exchange and duty. Oh well, I am determined to find this set!

I agree, strangely enough. We only need the one kind of PB Fozzie; and a PB Link!!

I would like the raggae Clifford. They could use the same head hands legs/feet, just change the upper-body to match his JHH look...of course, the 'rights' to do so might be the problem there...

Clifford IS coming with the shades, right?
Clifford does come with shades, and if they wanted to make a more hip Clifford, they could go with the MFS version. In MFS, they went with a more classic style Clifford. They put the shades back on and hipped him up again. Much better that way.

BTW, BOP Fozzie is not technically show specific. A tie was added and a think a policemans belt as well. Still looks very cool and I think the addons improved the look.

The reason i thought maybe going with a PB Repaint instead was because obviously Cliffords sales are anything but guaranteed so some people might not search out the repaint as well wheras Patrol Bear is going to be such a popular figure that people would definitely go for the chase repaint as well as the original.
Part of the reason Clifford is the repaint is to make his sales stronger. A completist would buy only 1 Clifford, but with a repaint, thats 2 gone. Also, with a repaint, the avergae Joe gets a choice of the MT Clifford, or the crazy repaint musical Clifford, even though he has no instrument packed in.

I think the Clifford figure is coming along and will turn out to be great. I'd like to see a MFS version come out eventually with a guitar. That way he can really fit with the band.

I've been checking Suncoast at Hickory Ridge every weekend. No such luck. They must have sold out immediately. I did get a Mega Animal there though!
My pal Lin and I went on a Muppet Trek thru Memphis. Suncoast has Mega Animal (Which I got :halo: !) They also have Muppet Monopoly, as well as Peanuts Monopoly...OH DEAR!! Now I'm so TORN!! :eek:

No series 4 figures are in Memphis as I type this.

Suncoast does get shipments on Tuesdays, I think, so I'll check on Tuesday by calling them. Don't let me forget.

That should have wiped them out of Mega Animals, as that's where I got mine as well, and they only had one more left. I need to go pick up the lone Mega Beaker there as well.

I also think that the only Target that will be carrying the Action Figures will be at the Galleria, and the one on I-55 on State Line Road. :frown: Neither one on my way to and from home.

Sam Goody always has been I believe. I believe they are part of the same company that owns Suncoast, etc.

Sam Goody is part of Suncoast. I wish there were another Sam Goody in Memphis.

Ken,

Are the Swinetrek pics that were just put on the site old or new? I ask because they have the regular starfield viewscreen and last I heard you hadn't yet gotten to seeing if you could set that one as the default background. What's the status?

Old proto pics. Status remains as you said it does. Still don't know.
