Large Mickey & Gang Wall Vinals?!?!

[bdoyledimou]

Hey all hoping folks can help me!!!

We are starting our travel planning, and are trying to find the LARGE vinyl wall clings to decorate our Van for the trip, like we did last time

The problem is, Sandy Lion isn't making the vinyl clings anymore, they don't have htem at the warehouse for clearence (only the 6-8 inch ones).

We looked on e-bay and found some, but suspect that they are counterfit (mickey with a Yellow shirt?!) and the shipping costs are horrendous ($13 for the sticker, and then $15 for shipping the sticker?)

We live in Canada, but will be making a trip to either Buffalo, NY or Detroit MI (or both...) in two weeks for a shopping trip, and am wondering if anyone knows where we could find the large (12" or higher) wall clings?!?! Please?!?! Just can't justify $100 in shipping for a few stickers!!!!

I love this idea.
Can you tell me if they are the ones that you can remove and place over and over again? How long did you have it on your car? Does it withstand rain? Any damage to your car? Do you think this would last long term on the car?

I don't know if this would work but you can look at this website.

Thanks for the link but those are TOO Big ! Looking for something between 16 and 24 inches!!

To answer your questions, yes these are the Removable vinyls (they are the ones marketed to go in bedrooms). They came of easy when we wanted to remove them, but stayed put for over a month!! They didn't fade at all, and survived torrential rainstorms, and the blazing heat of the Florida sun. They left no mark on the van either.


We also used Crayola Window markers to augment the decorations, and got lots of honks and thumbs up on tho drive down (2100 KMs or 1300 Miles each way)..

The funniest part was crossing the border.. The Guard looked at the van with a serious face, all covered with Mickey Mouse and said "Where will you be going?" Then he busted into a huge smile and told us he loved what we did!

Have you looked on ebay? Linda

I'm also in Canada and the last time I saw these, I'm pretty sure it was in the local dollar store. Did you check Dollar Giant or Dollarama? Might be worth checking out. Great idea!

Yes i checked on ebay, and while they have them, the shipping is upwards of $10 per piece (although the stickers themselves are only $7.. so to get 10 packages, it's $70 for the vynals and $100 for the shipping of those 7 stickers..)

I have also checked the dollar stores, the paint stores, walmart home depot etc etc etc..

They have the New Winnie the Pooh, Princesses Toy story 3 etc etc... but no CLassic Mickey

try your local wallpaper place. Ours sells these and I found mickey, and tinkerbell. Menards had some too when I was there last but I dont recall which ones.

Are these like the ones that you find in Walmart for decorating walls? I have a Mini Van and I could do cool things to my windows. And we are also driving this year. Airlines are just too expensive

 

[bdoyledimou]

Yes, they are the ones at Walmart (home depot, etc etc etc).. a note that the ones we stuck on the GLASS didn't fair as well as the ones we put on the BODY of the car.. they peeled and bubbled and faded.
