Series 2 has landed!!

[bc-fraggle]

I wonder still if us Canadian folk will have to wait longer than you guys!- like the end of November. Still though hearing that they are arriving there means that I should get geared up to start looking here. Hope they arrive soon for you guys! The sooner they arrive for you the sooner they arrive for me. Hehehe!

I have a feeling we'll see them before the end of the week. I went by my local TRU this evening. I've been checking by there regularly to see if they'd either sold one, or marked-down the 2 'Labs playsets they had. Note the word "had" both the playsets and ALL the figures (About 8 Kermits and Piggy's) were gone! There hadn't been a change in that stock for almost a month and in the week since I'd been by last everything was gone!

are you sure they didn't just get moved (to another area/ or in the back while they make room for them?) the muppet figures at the TRU here moved an aisle over in the past month.

also, as of this afternoon the New England TRU warehouse still doesn't have series two...

Well, I scoured the area all around where they had been with no sign. I asked an employee who said he thought they'd sold them but he didn't actually check the system so who knows? It just struck me as odd that they'd have such a strong change in shelf staus in one week after not having changed in a month.

check sunday as well, they've got a flyer coming out then, and some stores don't put anything out until saturday night.

Thanks for the tip ... I hadn't thought of the possibility of them waiting to put them out to coincide with the Sunday newspaper inserts. (You mean they don't have a special team waiting in the back room, ready to spring into action the moment they arrive? Inconceivable!!)

Unfortunately, though, I can't make it there today. I'll have to check back in a couple of days when I get a chance.

I keep haunting my TRU too...every other day or so I pop in. It paid off with Rod and Tod Flanders, but hasn't yielded much else so far.

Quinnnnnnnnnnnnn
