I have friends going to the SDCC, so I HOPE they can get me some packs of penguins! I originally planned to order 2 sets, but I want 3 because you HAVE to have 6 penguins!

Uh Kev... Why would one "have" to have six Muppet Penguins?

Because, there are always more than just one or two; there's like a BUNCH of penguins hoarded together when you see them. Plus, there's exactly 6 spots in the EM Band stage (with Lips) and I want 6 penguins.

After all, how many penguins came to the door at Pete's in TMTM?

Oh, OK then Big Foz.

Wouldn't rully know how many of them appeared at Pete's, blind batty eyes you know.
You gonna add custom instruments to have an MV3-D Penguin Orchestra with the band?

As for me, I'll be happy with the lone 2-pack I ordered. Will have a spot for them in front of Miss Piggy on my shelves. And the space behind the band is reserved for a second band, from the corner of the Muppaverse known as the JHH.
But that'll be done in time.

Well... The news about the pre-sale for the Penguin packs was made known in time. If you look at the Palisades forums, and at the Action Figure section here, there were threads and posts made on 6/9 and 6/10 announcing the availability of the Penguins. It just so happens that they ran out of the pre-determined portion of their stock they set aside for pre-sales on Thursday, so much so that they decided to take another small portion of stock and open it up to a second pre-sale on Friday. If you go to the Tally 2 thread at Palisades, you'll see that over a hundred packs were sold through these pre-sale purchases.

As for getting a Penguin pack, talk to some of the people there on the Palisades forums, there are some who bought extras and are now stating that they could help others out if need be. Also talk to the people there to see who's going to sSDCC and can pick up an extra pack for you after working out some sort of deal.
Hope this helps you Beaker.
given I was banished from the Palisades Forums in 2002, and I dont really have time to check out forums much, not really. Just kind of ironic out of all of 2005's exclusives of the remaining ones I wanted these the most.

It's ironic as a footnote, that countless Muppet figures were left warming pegs on stores for some reason, yet Im guessing they had maybe 50, 100 penguin presales at the most that sold out and probably wont have too many at the SDCC.

I think it was cool that there was a pre sale for them, but me not owning a credit card and the penguins not being avaibale for long premited me from buying them. I wish they would have at least let you pre-order as well because i pay buy money order, buti guess not this time. i guess i'll haffta do it e-bay as well.

Someone over at the Palisades' forum said that they paid by money order. I wonder why they wouldn't let you Zack?:sympathy:

Oh really? I just didn't think you could, because it was a pre sale, i thought it ment that the money would have to be directly paid at that time of purches like a credit or debt card done all on-line. it didn't look like i could mail out the payment from what i read.
