Okay, I'm just as desperate for merchandise as all of you are, so today I called a variety of stores and dealerships, asking if they knew anything about Lemony Snicket's ASOUE, if they had any merchandise, and if they'd be getting any in.
Toys R Us - Didn't carry any merchandise (Not even The Perilous Parlor)
Comic King Location #1 - The salesman says he doubts they'll even get any merchandise.
Comic King Location #2 - Said to check back in a few weeks.
Comic King Location #3 - The salesman said he highly doubts it, and has no way of finding out if they've ordered anything. (I was hoping at least one of the three locations would tell me that they had action figures on the way...)
Metropolis Toys & Games - I had to explain what Lemony Snicket was, and inform the salesman of the movie and books. He then wrote down the title, and said if he ever has the opportunity, he'll order some stuff in, and inform me about any new figures, games, etc.
Coles The Book People Location #1 - Had no listing of any new Lemony Snicket movie tie-in editions, or any special books (Behind the Scenes etc.)
Coles The Book People Location #2 - Had a listing of "October 2004" for The Bad Beginning, The Wide Window and The Puzzling Puzzles. No Reptile Room, Behind the Scenes or Posters. They took my name, though.
Indigo Books - Had only the original books. They wouldn't even bother to check for me when the new editions would come out.
Collector's Edge - Sweet and simple: "No, not that I know of."
Toy City - Claims to be getting a huge shipment of new toys on Monday or Wednesday, but had "no way of finding out if there would be any ASOUE merchandise" - I guess I'll have to call them again later this week. I will report back!
Hmmm... I'm rather stumped. I will update later once I call more stores, or once the stores call me back! If you're on a hunt as well, please do the same that I have done!
