Suncoast Muppet Clearance?

Hiya!

I recently went into my local Suncoast, and I saw the varying line of Muppet stuff (TV trays, plush, playsets, UNO decks, et cetera) that they had, and - no joke - EVERYTHING was on enormous clearance. Is this, you think, due to the Disney deal (loss of the "classic" Muppet brand for Henson) forcing the drop of Henson-licensed classic merchandise from shelves maybe? I don't know, all I'm concerned about is when I see a whole line of figures normally $12.99 and more going for $3.00 (that's right, three bucks) and big ticket merch marked down excessively. I hope it's just Suncoast doing some merch math and debating on the feasibility of keeping Muppet stuff rather than an outside source forcing a hand. Hmm....oh well, I guess I'll try to still be optimistic, and also see what I can snag before the clearance is over.

Sad but happy,
>Adam

Its been like that for a while, Adam. They put the MCC pvc sets on cheapo clearance about a month-and-a-half ago, along with a 25% off on series 4 figures (FINALLY picked myself up a Link to replace my defective one). I just hope Suncoast keeps the line now that Target has dropped it -- those two were my only close places to get the stuff. I don't really like having to drive across town to the Media Play unless I have to.

Adam, did they have any repaint Rizzo by any chance? Probably not. lol

Well, I didn't end up making it to Suncoast this weekend...*sniff*
But I did notice on Hot Topic's website that they are carrying some cool Muppets clothing and really cute plush Fraggles! None of its on sale, though...

I don't know if this is good news or bad news...

Not only did they NOT have a sale, they actually brought in more merch, including Bean Bags of Beaker and the Chef....
