Blind Box Trading – 15

WDWNT on November 29, 2010

Here is a picture of that new 15 cube Vinylmation Mystery Trading Box we talked about last week. As far as I can tell, it’s only at D-Street and World of Disney at Downtown Disney. As of the first post, I wasn’t sure if it was in the parks or not. I was at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom the past week, and they were all still using the 24 cube boxes. Also of note, are the new open trading boxes. Again, I’ve only seen these in Downtown Disney, but the new open boxes are basically open top trays that contain about 8 to 10 Vinylmation that you can choose from to trade for… as opposed to the traditional closed, see through 3 Vinylmation trade boxes. Have you seen either of these anywhere but Downtown Disney? And what do you think about the changes? Have you traded any Jr.’s yet? Let us know what you think.

A Little Less Mysterious

The trading Mystery Boxes at D-Street and World of Disney have reduced in size from 24 cubes to 15. (email us at destinationvinylmation@gmail.com if you can confirm the change is property wide) The smaller boxes have 3 rows of 5 numbers making them a lot easier for cast members to handle them. Although it does lower the variety at a trading station, it allows the cast member to make a smoother, quicker guest interaction. I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen many a cast member fumble with those awkward boxes. A few times even dropping the figures. I welcome the change. How about you?
