Playmates has sent in word that there will be no final THOH 5 exclusive playset.  They have decided to cancel the set and will no longer be putting it into mass production.  Instead, the WoS line of figures will now come to an end with the re-releasing of individual older figures.  The re-releases will be packaged in their original packaging and will include Bart, Homer, Lisa, Smithers, Lenny, Otto, Wiggum, Krusty, Mr. Burns, Barney, Ned, Moe, Nelson, and Milhouse.  This is a marketing move in which Playmates is familiar with having done so in the past with the end of the Ninja Turtles line of figures.

In other news, Part 8 of the "Average Schmoe" comic strip in the Sunday Funnies section has now been posted.

WoS Figure Phrase of the Moment: "The Holy Rollers are ahead by one pin, and we only have on bowler left, Mr. Burns."
