The new issue of Toyfare has big news for WoS collectors. It states that Toys R Us will have an exclusive playset next summer to tie-in with Playmates' upcoming Be Sharps mail-away promotion and will come with a Chief Wiggum figure to complete the set. Thanks to SCS member lawdewd for the heads up.

Today is the official start of BK's Creepy Classics promotion and you can keep up with all the latest sightings and news in our new Creepy Classics forum. However, we've learned that, due to the port lockout, some stores might not receive these until next week. In the meantime, there are many eBay auctions for complete sets.

The West Coast dock problems aren't slowing down Michael Crawford who has two new Simpsons reviews tonight! The first is for the hot new BK Creepy Classics.

Be sure to check out his latest giveaway in honor for Halloween as well.
