Director Mickey For Sale at DisneyStore.com

WDWNT on March 17, 2013

I try to stay positive. We all understood, after it happened the first few times, that “LocationSpecific” Vinylmation released at Disney Stores in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco and such would eventually end up at the online Disney Store. We all changed our vocabulary from “Exclusive” to “Specific.” But Directory Mickey, released last year at the Burbank Studio Store on the Disney Studio Lot was supposed to be different. It seemed as though this was a limited time (not edition) item that would could only be picked up by Cast Members on the lot. Such other CM exclusive figures have never been available outside the cast only stores at WDW and DLR. But today, Director Mickey showed up available at the DisneyStore.com for $14.95.

I thought it might be an April Fools joke, but sure enough, I was able to add it to my cart and make it to the payment page. I have absolutely no problem making these “Location Specific” figures available to a wider audience online. But I do have a problem promoting a product as something it is not. With it’s discounts and sale policies, the Disney Store continues to set a precedent that makes a mockery of something Disney itself tries to promote as a collectible. What knowledgeable Vinylmation collector will actually purchase any of the upcoming Wild West Vinylmation blind boxes within the first couple months of the April 20 release? There was no reasonable assumption Director Mickey would be available outside of the Burbank Studio Store, and coming on the heels of the “Through the Years” Mickey combo released this past weekend, it makes it even more shocking. By the way, more price drops on DisneyStore.com today as well including blind boxes for $5.99.

Wrestlers and Nursery Rhymes Buy One; Get One Deal

WDWNT on February 6, 2013

Can’t say we didn’t see this one coming. All Disney Store blind boxes eventually make there way to this familiar sale shelf. All Extreme Wrestler and Nursery Rhyme blind boxes and trays are Buy One, Get One Free at the DisneyStore.com.

Two great things, you can mix and match sets and full trays are BOGO, however, that does not mean an individual tray is half price. You must buy 2 trays, and one is free.

This is perfect timing… you will see my New Years Resolution post a little later today. Are you surprised by this sale?

Haunted Mansion Vinyl Spook the Net

WDWNT on December 15, 2012

The Haunted Mansion series ended up online when it was released last weekend. That’s pretty cool, since we know a lot of people who wanted to purchase the set, but didn’t live near the parks. But I can only find the individual boxes for sale. $12.95 each.

Did you pick up this set? What do you think of the variants?

2013 Poster Series Release Dates… Maybe?

WDWNT on December 3, 2012

Disney announced something… I know that’s not specific but here are the details. According to the events calender on vinylmation.com there will be a release of a “2013 Series – 3-inch figure (Open Edition / Retail: $12.95)” on December 28th at D-Streets. They also have a January 11th release of a similar figure for the online Disney Store. We are assuming that means this is the first (and maybe second) release of the 13 2013 Poster figures we saw at Mickey’s Circus (seen above). Only, at Mickey’s Circus, they said there would be a limited edition of 2013 for each figure, not open edition like the website says. Maybe the website meant open box. We’ll follow up and give out more information as it becomes available. 
Right now the events page is full of mistakes. They can’t even spell December correctly.
