I might just be saying this because of "wishful thinking" since we won't be there until October, but...
Maybe there will be multiple runs of this mug. The Jack Skellington mug from last Mahalloween had 2 versions - a limited version you got if you went and then an open edition mug that was a different color of the same sculpt.
We were able to buy the jack skellington mug at TS in mid december. And we also were able to get the 60th Anniversary mug at the same time which was from even longer back, maybe August 2015?
So if history repeats itself, then maybe they will offer the mug throughout the season but in a different color. I have multiple colors of the same sculpt of a couple of TS mugs.
But, of course, I'm sure I'm wrong!!! Again, we don't get there till early Oct so this is 100% wishful thinking!!
It does get really frustrating when, year after year, all the good Halloween merch is gone by September. We go every year around Columbus Day and that dang poison apple mug is always sold out!!
