New Starbucks mugs/tumblers---irritated but got the scoop

[az4boys]

Saturday morning I was second in line for my coffee, the guy at the register was buying the NEW mugs.

When I realized he was wiping out the shelf stock, I asked if anyone in line had planned to buy a mug.
Before he could get them all, I started grabbing them too and passing them to those in line.

When the CM totaled his purchase it was right at $600. The guy had a huge bag for all of them.
The shelf for NEW mugs was empty and the park had been open less than 15 minutes.

I wish they'd put a limit on them.

Wow. I'd be embarrassed to do that knowing that a bunch of people behind me were wanting them too.

What do the mugs cost? I had never heard of them but it would be a fun souvenir. The resell costs are $28-40!

I really want one of the tumblers. What are my best chances of picking one up at the 10/27 Halloween party?

That will likely be my only DL/DCA park visit for many years.

I happened to have a friend at DCA on October 3rd which is when the new DCA mugs were released and he got me one. The DL ones came out in August I believe...

So the DCA one that came out in October is different than this one I bought last month?

I hope that didn't sound snippy. My friend that I bought them for is kind of OCD about her collections so if there is a different one than this, I need to be sure to get it for her.

Yup, it's different now.

I think you have a reasonable chance as long as you stop by either location during the early party hours. I bought a tumbler at one of the parties during the early entry hours. There appeared to be a good supply available at that time.

You are awesome, thank you! I am sure the other people in line really appreciated your keen eye!

How much are the mugs at DL ?

 

[theluckyrabbit]

I think the mugs were about $16.00 (maybe $16.99?). The ceramic tumblers were around $22.00.
