Will the hard-to-find figures ever be made again?

[Gonzo]

Well, aside from the fact it's insane to pay $80 for the red shirt Zoot.

Yup. I would just pretend that Zoot is out of town on his own gig. That's what I do with the figures I don't have yet, or aren't out yet, like Statler and Waldorf.

I regret the day I chose Lew Zealand over Red Zoot.

I regret the day I didn't buy a whole case of Series 3 so I could eBay them all and retire to a fabulous Muppet-filled mansion.

[jediX]

I deserved that. I also deserve it for passing up blue Floyd & Rizzo. ::

That's why I buy all figures (including variants) the day they come out. Period.

 

[Gonzo]

Yeah, you learn these things the hard way, eh?

If I hadn't bought Zoot the same day I saw him, I still wouldn't have one--and distribution of Series 3 wasn't as widespread as 4 and 5 have been.

Luckily I DID get the yellow Zoot, so it's not a HUGE problem. I found Scooter at EB on clearance but never once saw Rowlf in a store.

Don't even get me started on Koozie Kermit. I had to succomb to eBay-ing to get him (luckily I got it for a good price).
