Well, if you wanna get rully picky... TRU has/had both S1 and S2 figures in their stores before deciding to jump off board. The S4 figures have made an appearance at the Times Square TRU store in NYC, but only that series.
And by WiGgY's own admission, the deal for TRU to pick up the line again beginning with S7 is only "almost" 100% done but it isn't "fully" 100% done.
Not looking it as seeing the glass half empty... it's more of seeing it as that we'll have what we have when we have it.
Hope this helps and happy holidays.

First of two posts to respond to the thread's intent and fellow member DMX's concerns.
But if you're looking for answers to join up and collect the line, do yourself a favor and jump fright in! You can get help from the other forum members for filling gaps in the collection, and if you want you could also join the Palisades Collector's Club to get the exclusive figures offered up at the conventions.
Hope this helps and have a good day.
Thanks for the info.

BTW, didn't you say in another thread that you saw these at Target? Why are you asking where to buy them if you already saw them?
There were just 3 or 4 different regular figures, The Swedish chef's kitchen, and a big beaker there. That's it, I want to see if anywhere else sells them and has more, different selection.

Well, you could always start by picking up the figures you saw at your local Target, Slim pickings as they may be, at least it's a start. So go ahead and pick up that Swedish Kitchen and other figures to get your collection going. That is, of course, if you rully want to collect these figures. I mean, it's your decision after all.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes with your collection.

Is this a good deal?
No, not really. Go to www.beanstoys.com and order a full set of series 1. Much cheaper that way.

Never mind, looks like they soldout. But you can find series 4, 5, and 6 along with the playsets and megas. Start with the kitchen. Trust me, if you decide you don't want the whole line, at least you'll have the best of them all.

I'll have to check them out. I really like the kitchen so I probably will start wih it.

Hey!!!

Wait a Minnit!!!!

I thought this post was about BROKEN figs, not PROSPECTIVE figs!!! What's up with that!?!?! Just kidding... To each their own...
And just how are you guys (dmx and jedi) using this board as a chat room?? I have SO tried to do that and failed... My timing must be off or something. HAHAHA!!!

So does anyone have any actual complaints???

here's my concern/ question...
WITH the Swedish kitchen, what have you folks used for paper towels on the paper towel roll at the end of the "island" (right side as you look at it)?? I have tried several unconvincing methods up to and including carefully sliced toilet paper and then rolled it up... It looked best, but still not perfect.. Any advice???

Things just get a little off topic sometimes, not intensional. I don't have any complaints because I haven't got any figures yet.
I'm looking forward to getting the kitchen. I didn't know you had to provide your own paper towels!

It's a towel rack for the towel the set comes with. I thought iit was obvious
