I will never fall for this again. I got hosed so bad with vinylmations. Was going strong until Disney pulled all the trading boxes, effectively killing it.

On that note, anyone want to buy some vinylmations? I'm selling alot, cheap.

Same...

I liked it, but I hope you know it was a sympathy like.

The only vinylmations people actually will buy are the ones I'm keeping, like my haunted Mansion ones I decorate for Halloween with.

My favorite were by far the park series. The entire top shelf my desk is lined with them.

If it's commercially produced it's not collectible. I've got unopened Tops Baseball card sets from 86-93. As a kid, they cost be $20 to $25 a piece to buy the sets. My parents brought a box of my crap down a few years ago and they were the majority of the weight. Took them over to a memorabilia shop a year ago, all 8 years he offered me $50.

I don't collect anything. If I have it, like the monorail sized Polynesian and Grand Floridian, it's because I want them. Not because they supposedly are worth something. Disney makes too much of this crap, and can change the rules at any time, for it to have any kind of value. The old stuff from the 60s and 70s? Maybe. The new stuff? Just dust collectors.

I actually think I liked the park Starz series the best. But yeah, overall the parks were the best.

Well you're smarter than me. Though I have learned my lesson.

I certainly didn’t buy them for the value and resale. If I could go back I probably wouldn’t buy nearly as many though.

Ha. I've learned my own lessons slowly over time. Not smarter, just... more experienced...

I think I did mostly for the trading and collecting aspect. But I do think in the back of my mind I thought I always could sell them. For a few years the market for some of them was pretty good.

I also think it sounds pretty cool. And I really like the idea of Disney creating something for this age group. They're usually the age group that is sort of left out.

I saw them all over Paris not just DLP but Paris. I collect pins of places I've been and the louvre had 0 for sale at their shop so I got a medallion instead. Not sure if they are elsewhere in Europe but it might be geared towards them.

I'd rather smash a penny and hate that they've changed those machines.
