We're officially retiring our petition to thank Jeff Trojan of PlayMates for all his help and information. Jeff will be leaving Playmates Toys soon to begin working for Play Along toys on a project with Art Asylum. Since we began last September, we've collected 369 signatures and messages of thanks! Good luck, Jeff and thanks for all your help... don't forget those March questions before you go!

The second celebrity series 2-pack, Bowling Marge and Jacques, is available for preorder from Amazon.com. Since we suspect that this set will be a Toys 'R Us exclusive, we highly recommend ordering it online. It is listed as shipping on July 22, 2002.

Amazon.com also has preorders up for many non-exclusive Simpsons items, such as the interactive Springfield Elementary Schoolbus.

The Celebrity 2-Pack: Homer and Lurleen with Mobile Home playset is no longer listed as an in-stock preorder on Amazon.com. This most likely means that the preorder allocation has sold out. We recommend that anyone who ordered the Celebrity 2-Pack online Email Amazon. Make sure to include your order number and request that your shipping costs be updated to reflect the revised 2 pound shipping weight of the 2-pack.
