The Merchandise Thread, pt II

[Sparky]

There used to be a merchandise thread, but I guess it expired and went away. So here's a new one.


(edit: Lol I found it, there's a second page of topics. D'oh.)

Today a Barnes and Noble employee did a lookup and informed me that the Foster's books will hit the shelves on the first of January. Yay! She also said that according to the computer, they *had* been out briefly in July of this year, but were pulled? Weird. Might have been a mistake.

And, I finally got my Foster's poster from eBay framed and hung today, here it is:



Lastly, I don't remember if I ever showed you guys the scan of the sticker set someone at CN sent me to prove the spelling of Terrence's name? Well, here it is again. (Since we've not yet seen "Sock Dog" in an episode, perhaps that is an upcoming character?)



I really don't know if these are available in stores yet or what, they may not be released until the books are.

edit: Yeah I took those pics down for a reason; sorry, I probably won't be posting them again.

Well, when they do come out, I'm buying one no matter HOW kiddy it is! I have a lil' Bubbles book I bought at a book convention one year and a PPG coloring book. Yup...I'm immature alright ;D

And I'd love to have those stickers all over my stuff. Kawii little things.

Where can I find what kinds of Foster's merchandise are out now?

[Cassini90125]

There's nothing in the stores, but there's all sorts of goodies available at the CN website.

It's always on their D**N website! They never want to share money with the retailers! I know its cheaper if you sell the products online, but I HATE credit cards!!!!!



UUGGGHH, THAT MAKES ME WANNA SCREAM!!!!!

[Cassini90125]

They'll also take a money order, but it's a little slower.

I can't wait for the books to come out! I don't care how kiddy they are or how stupid I'll look buying them. People can just deal with it^_^

Lol, I bought every single book related to A Bug's Life that came out, and about 75% of the mechanical toys, and I was something like 25 or 26 I think at the time. People kept telling me how lucky my kids were and I'd say, "Oh, I don't have kids."

If you only knew how much "Lilo and Stitch" merchandise *I* have! My friends who know me buy me everything they can find, too, knowing it will make me just as happy as any fine, expensive gift, LOL! I just wish I'd been a big fan of animation back when "Monsters, Inc." came out, even though there wasn't a whole lot of Randall merchandise. I would have owned every piece, though, and now they are very hard to come by.

I bought all the Randall stuff I *could*, but I was very poor at the time. The only thing I saw and wanted and *didn't* buy was the skateboard.

I'm actually kind of picky about the stuff I collect though. I never have "complete" collections of anything because if I think a piece is ugly or poorly-made/designed, I won't buy it, even if it's related to a character or show/movie that I'm obsessed with. I'm pretty hard to shop for.

Anyways another comment for this thread: My brother and I collect Invader Zim figures, made by Palisades Toys, and they are of excellent quality and detail. I say that if a Foster's line of figures/sets comes out, Palisades would be a great choice for a production company.

[Cassini90125]

I've got more Scooby-Doo stuff than I care to think about. I still buy it, too, when something good comes out. These days it's mostly coloring books. I'm not planning to show any restraint when I find Foster's merchandise; whatever it is, I gotta have it!

You could get a checking account, and you can receive a debit card with one of the credit card company logos (MasterCard, Visa, etc.).

You know, I might get both books that are scheduled to be released January 1, 2006. I can't help but want them. Anyway, I wish more merchandise would be available in stores, but maybe these books are the beginning. I'm also considering writing a handwritten letter to CN about DVD releases (yeah, I may be wasting my time, but sometimes these things might be effective).

[expirasin]

Cassini.... how can I thank you?

Radical Dude.... I'm plotting the debit cards as we speak.

Just something I thought was interesting...

You know that "Sock Dog" character in the sticker set I posted a picture of earlier in this thread? Well, I just found him, in "A Lost Claus", while I was doing the screencaps. I spotted him a couple of times, each time carrying a present on his back (once was in the credits, and the other time I got a cap of him so you guys can see). Maybe he showed up in other eps too, carrying stuff on his back, and I never noticed because he just blended in with the other background friends. So I suppose he's not an upcoming new character after all. He may have just been for A Lost Claus. Anyways it's nice to solve a mystery.

[Fomalhaut]

He's been carrying stuff in HOB part 1 as well.
