Series 1 Arrives: When and Where

[matleo]

Found em here in NJ at a Suncoast video (finally!) Actually had apleasant chat with a young woman (27ish) who was in AWE of the figures and each one was "her favorite" who she "loved" althpough she couldn't rmemebr Dr. Teeth's name. Funny story to add here... So we're talking and I mention that Dr. teeth is my favorite and then I turn to buy him and Kermit. I leave and start out of the mall and I pullout Teeth to look at him. As I look down, I notice that one of his hands has come off. So I go back to exchange him. The woman and her husband are now abotu to chack out and I walk up to the cashier (Dr. T in hand) and ask if I can exchange him cause he's broken.
Clerk: Uh, sure, do we have another one ther?
(I look) No.
Clerk: Do you think you can fix it.
(I give clerk daft look of bewilderment at suggestion I buy broken goods)
other clerk: Sure he's the last one
me: Yep
Woman from previous conversatoin: No, he's not (pulls Dr. Teeth off her pile of goods) This one is. And you want him more (switches mine and hers) I'm not buying this one. Just gve me the others.

Just goes to show, nice people aren't dead, their just hiding in NJ.

That's funny...you know what really stings about that? That hand is PVC into PVC...simple mushroom joint. If it was popped back on it would be good as new but it jostled loose in shipping. Happens, but MAN I hate to hear that. That's a return in my book...and man...returns STINK.

You ought to go back and offer to buy it at a discount then open it up and pop the hand on (prove I'm not a fool!)...but in any case, nice to hear someone being friendly and not pulling a "cabbage patch" on you.

More Muppets in Michigan

We still haven't seen our EB Piggy, but the Ann Arbor Media Play had TONS of the regular series on the pegs this morning. At $8.99, you might want to wait for TRU, but if you're having trouble finding a Honeydew or Dr. Teeth, that might be the way to go.

Just picked up my set from the EB in the Dufferin Mall in Toronto, Canada. (they had none at the Toys'r'Us in the same mall) They look very nice. I was just about to pull them out of the package when I thought I'd post here. The clerk at the store had just opened the case the day before and he was very impressed with the figures. He asked me a lot of questions about the line which I answered as best I could from all the great information posted here. I asked about the exclusive Piggy but the clerk knew nothing, though he did mention that other people came in asking the same question. At least they actually know what the figures are so that I can call to find out if they have the figures in. I'll have to keep visiting the Toys'r'Us to check for the Kermit because they hadn't a clue last time I talked to them. I'm really looking forward to getting the playset so that I can set it all up.

Miss Piggy EB version

Hi,

Just received three of these in the mail. Two for me and one for a friend. The Exclusive figure is great but all three have paint chips where her shoulder joins the body. The area is a clear white type of plastic unpainted. So a small portion of her arm is unpainted. The joints between the gloves and arms are all loose and you can see the connections. But I love the sculpt looks better than the photo. She comes with same accessories plus boa.

Tuxedo Kermit hits Houston

Hello all...

I found the TRU exclusive Tuxedo Kermit this afternoon at the Willowbrook Mall TRU here in Houston. They had about a dozen of him. No sign of Series 1 though. Kermit looks good... but he was $10.99, which stings a bit.

Happy Hunting...

No sign of them in the Portland area yet. (C'mon, we're as close to China as anyone!)
However it's pretty much a universal "not yet" instead of a "what?" or "all out" so that's a little bit of a good thing.
Now I'll get a Fathers Day gift, plus the figures!
