Hi Guys, Just thought I'd post this bit of info as I cant see anyone else has on here. Bristol & West Building Society in UK are selling a set of 5 Muppets Pins in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Each pin is made of rubber with a silver metal grip pin on the back, Each is approx 1" in height. The characters are Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Bunsen and Swedish Chef, a bit of a strange Mix, No Fozzie or Beaker? They are very well detailed and come attached to a card backing with the new Blue design and Muppets logo above. The back has info about the MS charity. They are £1 each, but its for a good cause. They are made by the big badge company but they are not shown on the web site, not yet anyway?

Great news, shame it's only at a regional bank though. Big Badge Company made the Barclays ones two (or three?) years ago and the Asda Hoobs ones so i'm sure these are very nice!

I just assumed from the name really but it does look like they have the odd branch or two in areas further away. I see a Trafalgar Square one listed and also one in Croydon and Bromley so London/Kent people should be ok with a fair bit of travel involved.

Well, that does make a change, usually here in the West Country we get hardly anything and I have to travel to buy stuff. Like to Brsitol for my nearest Disney Store. I have a Bristol and West literally 500 yards from where I live! If anyone gets stuck and really wants these I can try and get a set. You can pay via Paypal and just add a bit extra for postage. Email me first though to make sure I can still get them. COcon14675@aol.com

They sound good. The closest one to me is 12000 miles away! Does anyone know how long they will have these for? I'm coming to London in a few weeks believe it or not so theres a chance I could get some.

Any chance of a photo of these?

I think there's a good chance you'll be able to get them in a few weeks time, the other promotions definitely lasted over a month or so.
