Please buy something from JS so that QVC doesn't kick him off altogether. I noticed the last time he was on was 5:00 a.m. so they're not giving him prime time anymore. If everyone keeps buying his stuff he won't disappear like Kirks Folly and others. Thank you.

OP I think he's been on late night or early am for a long time but you make a good point since the Q's dropped one good vendor after another. Love Jim Shores items & also his stories about the backgrounds & history of pieces. Let's all support him!

Yes, in recent years Jim's appearances have been in the middle of the night or very early morning. Maybe he prefers it that way?

I love watching his shows too but you can buy his items for the same or often times less with FREE SHIPPING (with a minimum purchase) from his web site. I usually wait until I want a few things for myself or gifts & order together to save all that shipping.

My last order was something like 25 - 30 dollars shipping from the Q, 0 from Jim. And I didn't order that much.

I would love to see him stay too but geeeeez, that's a lot of shipping!

He has a new collection up on his website called Rivers End by Jim Shore. Sort of different but worth a look.

How many nic naks can you buy, I'm sure Jim made his money years ago and doesn't need to rely on the Q. I see his figurines in local stores, so the Q isn't his only outlet.

3:00-4:00 am PST is 6:00 EST, so for EST, it is early morning, so not as bad as it seems. I buy my fair share.

Good idea, OP. I'm going to go and order at least a dozen of his things right now!

He's got a line at Hallmark and some other gift places.

He's doing just fine. QVC is an avenue for people to get noticed. At some point, they no longer need QVC.

I hate to say it, because QVC has nixed so many nice lines, but I think the ship for him to be a prime time force has sailed...
