Back in December (look at Appa Plush blog post from December 2006), I tried in vain to find an Appa plush doll for the boys. Still no luck and Nickelodeon has no solution either. If you go to the Nick site, the message page is TEMPORARILY out of stock. And by temporarily that means FOREVER. I sent them an email for more info and they sent me back the standard form they send to everyone. Sorry, we have many products and we restock new products every day! Keep visiting!
I also had this same experience with a Star Wars battlepack that has been TEMPORARILY out of stock since last SEPTEMBER. Ask ToysRUs about it. Almost the same form as Nick, please check back, as we restock daily. NO, YOU DON'T.
Google either of these two things:
Appa Plush
Hunt for Grievous
Everyone is looking for them or selling them (for 5 to 10 times their price).
If you had bought 10 of each of these you would have spent about $400. If you sold them today you could get $1000-$2500. These aren't limited or collector items. They are toys that were released less than a year ago. It isn't Beanie Babies or Cabbage Patch Dolls fanfare either. I don't understand it. Some wisenheimer(sp?) was selling 75+ Hunt for Grievous sets on eBay back in November for $60 each. Can anyone say store manager?
Anyway, if anyone wants to trade or sell them to me for a REASONABLE price, I would appreciate it. Chandler gets HforG and Graham will get Appa. Even though Chandler will want one too.
I won't need these until Christmas, so maybe I will get lucky. Ha Ha.
Oh yeah, Mattel make the Katara action figure for Avatar. That is annoying and very unPC to not make girl action figures. Fire your CEO now!
Bleck!
