PVC mini figures question

bad target! no soup for you!

Yay, other people are slamming Target! I actually took a job at Target when I heard they would be Palisades' new exclusive retailer. I managed to pick up Series 5 and Koozebane Kermit before they dropped the ball and decided not to carry any more Muppets. Grrr. I don't bother shopping there at all anymore.

Target and TRU bother mucked up the line. I don't know how Target and TRU can get away with asking for an exclusive and not paying for it after it gets produced. That's like me asking you to build me a house and then decide I don't want it. It's not right.

Eh, I like target, or Tar-zhey as they say. It's like a slightly less backwoods yet more upssale version of Walmart!

I like Target too, although I am angry at them for dropping the Muppet line. Unfortunately, they came in at the wrong time. Had they started with either series 3 or series 5 and come out with the figures at the same time as other stores, they would have been more successful. I believe that in terms of the casual shoppers, Series 4 was the weakest series. (Don't get me wrong, I love my Series four figures!)

Oh, wait! I just realized that this thread is about Mini Muppets! Target did not ever sell the Mini Muppets so they cant be blamed for their lack of popularity. I guess there is just not quite as much demand for the Minis from fans like us.

From Ken's latest questions post :-

I was wondering, based on the sales figures of the first four minis through Palisades direct, do you think that it looks like the Electric Mayhem Minis are going to be a reality next year?

Not likely. People just aren't buying the minis like we hoped. Maybe that will change when the full 6 are available.

Hope that changes, out of all of em i would buy the EM band.

Crud. People with money, buy them for friends.

 

[floydnjanicefan]

Oh darn! I was really looking forward to these figures.

 

[beaker]

It isnt a *total* shock...$8 per pvc, plus shipping? eeeps....truly only for the diehard collector.

Wha? You pay S&H on these figures? Hmmm, well I guess it's a good thing to be part of the CC.

Waiting for the other two and the Modern Gonzo CC kits before getting the gang from the CC shopper.
