...does anybody know who to ask about Gonzo's pre-order? Will it still be this week?
Hello Pat, and welcome! :big_grin:

You are correct that that's the last we've heard about Gonzo, but since Travis said that Disney wasn't happy with Gonzo's nose at ComicCon, we're pretty sure that his release/pre-order date will get pushed back again. But that is just a guess. Hopefully MR has found a solution for his nose, gotten approval from Disney, and have a new prototype from China that we haven't yet seen.

Still waiting for something official from MR, but I do hope they take their time as we want Gonzo to be as perfect as possible!

Cheers,
:smile:

I have pre-ordered my Animal replica from The Collector Zone. I noticed the other day that he is no longer listed in their catalogue. I have e-mailed them but have had no reply so far. Is their reason to be concerned yet?

Maybe they just reached their maximum order or something, and don't want to risk putting potential new customers on a long wait list?

It seems like some other dealer had done this last time with Kermit if I remember correctly. I hope for you guys that this is nothing to worry about.

Do they have a number...

Hey, do they have a number that you can call to ask them about why animal was taken off? I'm sure if they are an established e-store, you should be fine. On Gonzo, guys, I can't wait until the 19th. I know that's the last day we heard of, but I am so excited. And about three muppets next year. How are they going to space them out? Talk to you guys soon! :smile:

I am so looking forward to getting my Animal sometime at the end of next month. I hope Gonzo is doing fine. Cannot wait for his preorder up. I hope they finallly got the nose right on him. I am going to have to ask Amy if his preorder is still going up next week. Keep your fingers crossed! :concern:

Right....just spoke to Paul and the pre orders are fine...they have sold out! Id double check your order to be on the safe side.

Thats very interseting guys. I have also pre-ordered from them, luckily it was a long time ago and my pre-order is still showing so I think I'm OK.
