Home Depot Alien Green Paint Chips

[allaboutmm]

My Home Depot hasn't had any either. Worse, it looks like they are slowly changing over to rectangular samples that don't have the ears!
WHAT !!! My Sister-in-law works for HomeDepot, I'll have her get a stash of them for me to hold on to!!

We will be at Pop 8/17-8/23. Do you want me to leave them at the desk for you?

Only if it's no trouble. Donald - my hero might be able to guide me here at home. I'll do some more checking this weekend.

Just where in Ontario do you live? My Home Depot (Guelph as well as Cambridge I noticed other day) has TONS!!! Let me know 'k?

I live in Hamilton. I think I will check the Ancaster HD tonight. If there are out I will let you know.

Thanks.

I've been looking everywhere for one or two of those green paint chips from Home Depot, but all of the local stores seem to be completely out of them. Any ideas on how I could maybe make my own printout of the alien green mickey that will be in the right shade of green?

I know you've already had several offers, BUT - if they don't work out for you - I Work at Home Depot!!! I'll be there at 5:00a.m. tomorrow, I'll grab some. You can PM me if you'd like me to send them out. I didn't know that everyone else wanted these - I always take them (any color, not green), and put them on my desk to cheer me up!! Especially on my calendar on the Disney vacation months!!!

At work, the whole store knows who to go to when they need Disney vacation planning tips!

Let me know if I can be some help in getting these to any of you out there!! Bye for now, Jane

Scuba Girl,

On our arrival day, we will be just goofing off. We will most likely go to Beaches and Cream, so it won't be any trouble. Just send me your name by Aug. 14 if you don't get any by then.

I've been wondering... has anyone ever bought the Alien Green paint???

My fear is that they'll discontinue the paint color because everyone "considers" it (by picking up the paint sample) but nobody buys it!

I suppose if they're going to change the paint sample to rectangles (gasp!) we could buy a quart of the paint and create our own endless supply with some heavy-duty card stock and a mickey head cutout (does Archivers have one?)

I got them!!! I went on Friday and got about 10. Thanks for your help. How do you use them in WDW?

This is how I used my green Mickey's.....
For my DC's I.D. tags on their shoes ( put my cell # and DH's cell # on it w/ a black sharpie, then contact papered it, hole punch, lime green ribbon, tied it to their shoe(lace face)) Yes, my DS who was 9 at the time loved that!!)
Hole punched, tied w/ lime green ribbon, tied it to the back of my WDW baseball cap.
Hole punched, green ribbon, tied to all of our luggage( yup, my DH loved that!)
Hole punched, green ribbon, tied to my DD stoller(she didn't mind- she might only be 3yrs old, but do I see future DISboarder? )
Santa decoration in our hotel room window, and he was holding, you guessed it, a lime green Mickey.
*I did contact paper all the Mickeys so they would last longer*
go green

hooray for Scuba Girl!

 

[JerseyGirl1972]

Just got mine yesterday, now I have to wait to use them.

 

[scuba girl]

Now to find creative ways to use them in WDW.

Now it would be cool to keep passing around a lamenated one via the front desks at WDW hotels and just see how many hotels and people the Alien Green Mickey visits. It could go around with a register book and people sign in who have it with their screen names and where they stayed and maybe a little message.

Maybe that's just a crazy thought but I would definately be willing to start it.

I went to my aunt's house today at lunch time and she had a set of Mickey paint chips that she plans on using to scrapbook pictures of our upcoming trip.

Do you think she'll miss the alien green one? Because I took it. Stole it. Pilfered it. Whatever. I had to have it.

Now what do I with it?

Paint chips remind me of being a kid...ah..just kidding!!

Where do you live? I noticed that the ones at our home depot were about half and half now. Half mickey heads and half rectangles.

During my recent trip to HD, after picking up the items I needed, I went by the paint chip sample board and felt as if everyone in the store was watching me and was going to blow the whistle and swarm if I took a couple of the alien green paint chips. So, I took a few various colors and about 3 alien green chips. We need about 4 more to tag our luggage and have one for our room door. I can always try sending the fiance to get some....he always says "anything to make you happy..." I love the cutesy names of the paint colors.

I made a nametag from one, bought a green Mickey head pin from the pin trading cart in the Dino area of AK, and wore it pinned to my chest everyday.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

hahaha Well if you lived in Illinois I'd say that DisneyMommyMichelle took them all! She seems to have all the HD's here covered!

sooo if anyone needs any just PM me and i will send them out!

 

[Robmom]

I just got mine on Friday!
