Bad, Bad Luck

WDWNT on April 19, 2011

Update: 4/18/11 It looks like everything has been fixed over at the Disney Store Online. They have SINGLE blind boxes of Jr 3’s for $8.95. Get them while you can!

Update: 11 AM One of our listeners sent us his receipt for several cases of Jr 3’s for $8.95 a piece. The order was made at 3:30 AM PST. This means that the price did actually go live early this morning. (We thought it might have been just a placeholder.) Check out the at the bottom.



Over at the Disney Store Online today, the Jrs 3 series is up… and sold out. That was super quick. Well until you look at the price. Something is up with Disney, because they have the tray of 36 listed at the price of $8.95, instead of individual boxes for that price. We expect that to be sorted out. (I’m surprised to see a set added on a Wednesday instead of a Friday.)


Wow that’s a good score. We wonder if Disney will honor this price. (Unlike with TailSpin, this is clearly a clerical error and we expect Disney to just cancel all the orders for this case at this price.)

Vinylmation Recap: March 8, 2011

WDWNT on March 9, 2011

A lot happened today on the Vinylmation front, so here is a recap.
Disney officially announced an April 1st
release date for Vinylmation Series Park 6.
We had pics of the pins representing Park 6,
but today Disney released turn around pictures
and the artist’s names.
We already knew Urban 6 would be
released on March 18th, but today
we were treated to turn around pictures
of the series. We also now know all the
artist’s names and narrowed down what
the chaser might be.

Check out Urban 6 Explained here.
It was our lucky day! Disney also released
photos of all the figures from Jr Series 3
Good Luck / Bad Luck… including the
chasers.
Disney also released some turn around
pictures of the 8 figure open window
Tron set. We know these are currently
available at Hong Kong Disneyland,
however no US release date
was announced.

Please visit Tron Explained.
More Cutesters Too variants? Maybe.
Disney’s official Vinylmation Blog linked
to a page with “original artwork” from the
Cutesters Too set. It including 2 variants we
have never seen… bringing the possible total
number of variants to 5.

Today the Vinylmation Blog gave us our next release date. One March 11th, the 3rd Juniors Series will be released in D-Streets Florida and California. It will later be released online at the Disney Store on March 18th. The series is entitled, “Good Luck / Bad Luck” and we assume, like past Junior Series, it will come with 16 normal figures and 2 chasers (most likely a “good luck” chaser and a “bad luck” chaser)

They also released a photo of the box this series will come in, so let’s check that out.

This side looks like the “Bad Luck” side, so I guess the opposite side will have the white cat on it. In the logo we can see some suggestions of other symbols that might be part of the series: a horseshoe, the number 13, a skull and crossbones, a bat, and lightning?
Here’s a co-luck side. Nothing particularly new here. The size will be 1.5″ . It shows both the black cat and the white cat. They also mention that there are keychains as part (like the first two series)

These are the two figures we have already seen, one for good luck and the other for bad luck. They were revealed as part of the info dump on New Years at midnight.

Is anyone looking forward to this series? How many of you actually collect Juniors? Let us know! Leave a comment.
