It’s only $11.95 to get a Muppet 2

WDWNT on April 15, 2011

Update: 9:15 PM First visual confirmation of $12.95 Disney Store Price. Thank you Sharon from Illinois and Cliff from Florida.



Update: 3:00 PM We got our Muppets 2 at D-Street. We’ve been hearing (see comments) that they are selling for $12.95 in Disney Stores. I just called our local store and they are saying the Muppets 2 sell for $12.95 (at first he said 9.99 but then he actually checked). So if you are close to a Disney Park, I’d head there if you’re getting a case!

With all the rumors spreading about the Muppets 2 price being $12.95, a lot of people were very disappointed. But today at D-Street when the boxes arrived, the price was only $11.95 (at D-Streets). Every little bit helps!

Update: The price seems to be $12.95 at Disney Stores.

(Nick also likes that the boxes have the 1 in the name crossed out and 2 is written in. See top left of the photo.)

What do you think of the price? Good? Bad? Fair?

More Disney Afternoons Confusion on Price (Better Ending)

WDWNT on April 8, 2011

Update: 4/9/11 Wow, I just looked at the price tag on a box a friend who was in line behind me bought. His box is priced at $26.95, but they only charged him $24.95. Once again I have to say thank you to D-Street for being very cool about this situation. It seems now that after I mentioned the price problem (I was the first one out of the store) that they quickly changed the price tags on the box. But, and this is the awesome part, it seems like they kept charging the $24.95 price for everyone who was in line that morning. I heard the price went back to actually being $26.95, but it seems only after the wait line had ended. Very cool Disney, very cool.

Update: Noon. We are hearing rumors that the price might be back up to $26.95, I guess they have a price gun at D-Street.

Nick and I both waited in line outside D-Street Florida today to get the Duck Tales set. We got to meet with a lot of people, including oft-commenter Claudia!, and talk some vinyl. Once inside the store we picked up our Duck Tales set and noticed something interesting.

The price tag read $24.95. I was excited, because I was expecting to pay more, until I noticed they had rung me up for $26.95. Unlike the Tail Spin problem, D-Street graciously offered to refund my money. When I went back a little later, they did mention that the price when scanned had been changed back to the $24.95. Thank you Disney for staying true to the price tag! As of this post, the Art of Disney site still has this:

I appreciate the speed and easy of this solution, but it does bring to mind, why (after a month) are these sets still being released with the wrong price tags? And why, if they were already priced, did Disney go and change the price?

Thanks to @BurgerBeachBlog for the heads up this morning (We were busy preparing for the Trade Show tonight!)

What the Tail!

WDWNT on March 3, 2011

Update: 8:30 PM As of now, Tailspin is sold out in the Disney Store.
Update: 3:11 PM Well, Disney went and changed the price on the blog they missed, so now it’s all gone.

We now know the answer as to why we had to wait so long to get Tailspin today. It’s because Disney needed the extra time to change the price to $26.95 from $24.95. They needed the extra time to go back and and change all the mentions of the price to $26.95 in their blog posts. They forgot one, the Disney Parks Blog still have the article, and it still had the original price.


We joked about it when Facebook was confused by the release date because they changed all previous mentions to March 2nd from the 5th. But then this snuck in while we were waiting and without much notice.

So does this mean the whole series will change price??

Update: 3:11 PM Maybe it will, minutes after we posted this, Disney went and changed the Disney Parks Blog. It now says, “$26.95” Uncool.

Let us know how you feel about this in the comment section of this post! (Please refrain from cursing however)

Thanks to Scuba Owl and Kermit528 for mentioning this!

Laser (Price) Surgery

While waiting for the elusive Tailspin set, we noticed that the price of the Big Eyes at DisneyStore.com have gone down.

Mike Wazowski
Buzz Lightyear
Mickey Mouse
Marie
Grumpy
Tinkerbell

Back to $9.95!

WDWNT on December 3, 2010

The Holiday 2 Vinylmation blind boxes are back down to $9.95 after seeing a price increase to $12.95 for Park and Urban 5. Disney has been keeping us on our toes with price ups and downs the past couple months, will future blind boxes stay at this price? Did Disney hear our frustration with the $12.95 price tag? Whatever the reason or future price, this was a nice Holiday treat for Vinylmation collectors!
