It could just be someone trying to get more money for an item than they should. But if it's real, bummer  |

I think the seller's info is legit. I've seen him sell a lot of first shot stuff from Palisades.

I hope this isn't true! I've been really looking forward to the Angel Palz line.

I hope Buffy series 3 is still on track. If Angel Palz is cancelled, BTVS Palz may also be in trouble. I wouldn't be surprised from the recent rumors of Palisade Toy's impending bankruptcy.

If this is legit and not just speculation, then I'll be seriously pissed. The Angel line wasn't even given a chance and it had so much potential! But let's face it - something is seriously amiss at Palisade Toys. Lines seem to be being cancelled and we haven't heard a peep from Buffy Series 3.
I think it's like what Ebola quite rightly brought up: It could be to do with the rumors of their imminent bankruptcy (But hey, as a Michael Jackson fan, I've learnt not to believe any bankruptcy rumors until their offical. Hehe, the number of times I've heard the phrase: "It's been confirmed: this time next week, MJ will have filed bankruptcy.)
So before I digress...
I'm not quite sweating just yet, Buffy is one of their most popular licenses and it this could all just be speculation.

I really hope that it is speculation and that we will see prototypes at next months Toyfare. I was really looking forward to more Buffy PALZ and Angel PALZ too.

I'm not surprised but it is disappointing. Maybe DST would pick up the line like they did when MAC went under?

This is not good...Would explain the numerous delays in all the recent props, and still no news about Anyanka's amulet and the Urn...Palz was a great line, but like many have said before, where is the info on Series 3?

Found this quote on the Palisades Buffy board about Series 3...from a Product Engineer.
"I keep hearing January but we havent even seen the real things yet, bot even prototypes, not to mention any accessories. I know they've been announced but we haven seen anything. We haven't even seen a rendering of Snake Mayor. I think Series 3 is still a long way off in the future. Usually, we see the protoypes, then a month or two later the finished product then a month or so later, they are released. I'm thinking January won't happen. Especially since all the PALz lines release dates have been ended up being two months or so later than expected."

That's the same Palz figure alot of us won the oppurtunity to buy last summer. I bet its just someone trying to get alot of money for theirs. I still have mine in its baggy somewhere.

Unfortunetly, this isn't just anyone's listing. This seller handles auctions from former Palisades product guru Ken Lilly's private stash. It stands to reason that the info comes right from Ken which is as official as it gets without actually being official. As the PALz lines were reported to be doing quite well for themselves, this obvious has to be taken as very disquieting news for fans of PALz in general and Buffy PALz in particular. Really hope this turns out to be wrong, but right now I'm worried about getting worse news.

That's really bad news.
They would have had some great figures, like Doyle, demon Doyle, Lilah, Lindsey, and the Beast. We would have finally gotten a figure of Gunn! What a disappointment.

Hmmm... Surprised, nope. Annoyed, yep. Great potential here but...  I'll chip in and say, late props and no S3 info is very bad news. Will we ever get that damn scythe?? |

I really love the Palz line, and was really excited about all the Angel Palz opportunities. I was also excited to see later seasons of Buffy Palz, but that's not looking too likely.
Like someone else mentioned, I would love it if DST could pick these up, but they'd probably have to pay a premium to Palisades to get to use the Palz design. DST has already worked with Art Asylum on the MiniMates, so maybe it could work the same for Palisades and Palz.
Oh well, I wish Palisades would make some official statements about how they are doing. I don't know how things usually go down, but I'm guessing things are not going well. They still have their Christmas discounted shipping ad up on thier Palisades Direct site, and all of the items are listed as Back Ordered.
Something's going down. I guess it's just a matter of time before we find out how things are going.

The sad fact is that Palisades is done. They're still in denial at the boards, but the writing just isn't on the wall, it's etched in stone. And we won't see anything on these lines at Toy Fair, because Palisades won't be there.

Does that mean the Factory X stuff is screwed, as well as the PALz?

Wow. This really sucks. If all this is true, then I am very dissapointed. It seemed to me that Palisades had it together pretty good. They have done well with the palz and with the props from the buffy line.....right??
That sucks if we don't get any more palz. I hope this huge downward spiral doesn't affect the props line. I guess we will just have to wait and see......but now that I think about it, the props line ending makes sense. We haven't heard anything about the other props that have been announced recently. We have seen pics of the chosen amulet, gem of amarra, and anyanka's amulet....but no news since the pics. Maybe that is because they are getting canned. Bummer. It would be nice to here something solid to go on.

If the Scythe winds up not getting released after all of the hype this whole time...boy, will that be disappointing. On another note...why does it seem like, with the exception of DST, everytime a company is touched by the Buffy license, things like this have to start happening? (Obviously not EVERY company, but of course referring to MAC and now Palisades) I was really looking forward to my snake Mayor, too. |
