Target drops Palisades; Toys R Us will sell series 7

WiGgY · Feb 20, 2004

Target will not carry the Muppets in 2004 at all. All they will have is a VERY short run of the Koozebane Kermit repaints. This info comes from Ken himself. So make that Target list unsticky 'cause the Muppets are outta there!

This doesn't effect me very much since the only Target that carries muppets around here is 2 hours away. It is still bd news though.

That's too bad for the guys with Targets that they go to for Muppets. Fortunaltey, that doesn't affect me since I don't lieve near a Target. Now if Toys "R" Us is getting the Muppets, that'll be awesome! Considering there are two different Toys "R" Us's I can go to! :big_grin:

Yeah, I am better off having a TRU with Muppets since I live 5 minutes away from one. And will mos TRU's be getting Muppets or just some of them?

I was wondering why the three Targets near me wasn't restocking their shelves.
I'm just scared I won't be able to find the two repaints of Koozer Kermit

I really hope Toys R Us sticks with Palisades from now on.

There's always eBay, should worse come to worse -- before Kooze Kerms came out here I got one for only a few dollars more off there.

Well, judging by my local Target, I'm not sure they ever did sell them. I was in there last night they still don't have anything more recent that series four.
:mad:

That is a blow...

This is a blow to the sales numbers of the figures, to be certain. But you know what??? I never found anything there anyway. As previously mentioned, Target had rare figures that weren't series 4. And Koozebane Kermits aren't hard to get on ebay either. Thank you Buy It Now!!!

Hey, who edited the title of my thread?

Ken has said that TRU will take about the same amount of figures as Target did (a little less though). So they shouldn't be hard to find like series 3 was when TRU dropped out. Hopefully TRU will sign all the papers to take all the exclusives they are signed up for.

well my girlfriend finally found the blue Koozer Kermit at a California Target.
Yeah!
Now I just need Glow in the Dark
