My old man went to the WB Store in Times Squares on Sunday to browse around. He saw a statue of Bugs that he asked if it can be sold. The employee asked for $500 but my dad got it reduced to $150. This thing is easily worth $1,000! This statue is about 5'8 (I'm 5'2, you do the math) and weighs about 100 pounds. I was wondering if anyone else got a statue that the WB Stores had for people to look at. My statue was originally a part of the candy shop. It's Bugs dressed as a usher. It's really great. In a few days, I'll scan a picture I took of it so anyone can see.

Hey, that's pretty cool. I wouldn't mind having one of those WB Store statues myself (of course, I have no idea where I'd be able to put it :p ).

There are 3 statues in the Warner Brothers store in Woodbridge, New Jersey that I would die for!! The 3 statues are my 3 favorite LT characters, Bugs, Daffy and Porky. I think they're about bigger than 6 feet!

It'd be great to have one of those statues, it would be fun to see visitors react to it (but like Jon, I don't know where I'd put one)

Just out of curiosity, are the other statues of Bugs Daffy and Porky in any particular pose or costume, DarkEJ310?

I have horrible memory, but here goes. The whole thing is like a movie being filmed. Daffy is the cameraman, Bugs is the Director and Porky is operating the machine that rises Daffy while he's shooting. Also, there is Wile E. Coyote inside an airlane (it's even in mid-air, hung by strings!) and the Road Runner on sand. Bugs, Daffy, Porky and the Road Runner are all on the first floor. the WB Store is on the second floor. I would like to take photos of it before the store closes.

BTW, if anyone wants to know, you can refer me by my real name. Ladies and gentleman, my name is Emmanuel Cruz.

I am not related to Brian!

Our WB store here received STRICT orders not to even consider selling the much coveted statuary!!! They had gazillions of offers, finally had to make apologetic signs and adhere to them. Evidently cooler heads have finally prevailed at AOL-Time-Warner (-Turner-Kinney-Seven Arts-First National-Vitaphone-Vitagraph). Where they thought they'd store ALL of the hundreds of them entranced my mind... Put fifty of them in each of the grand-poobah's offices maybe?? :)

I would die to have the Porky, Daffy, and Bugs set. Especially Porky! Porky is the best!

There were some of those at my local WB store before its closing, but they were never for sale to my knowledge. The one that had been there the longest was Yosemite Sam driving a cowhorn-adorned car with a sack of money in the passenger seat.

The WBSS at the Galleria Mall (a few miles from where I live), had really cool statues of Bugs and Daffy in there tuxedos in the front of the store. However, by the elevator, they had a re-creation of the Niagara Falls with the LT characters! On top (there was a big edge and water came down), there were statues of Bugs, Taz, and Daffy in barrels. At the bottom, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, the Road Runner, and Wile E. Coyote were dressed in rain coats on THE MAID OF THE MIST. At least they used to have it...:(
