Vinylmation Collectors Unite!!

[Pumbaa7287]

Yeah, you'd be lucky to find Ghost Obi for under 200.

I know the feeling, I do.



Sorry, but no. Try your chances on eBay, but it's going to cost a pretty penny and then some.

Ya, I've been watching eBay, and they are getting pricey!

Is anyone in here trading/selling/buying in Canada?

My boyfriend and I just started our collection yesterday... we're hooked!
So far we have:
- Animations 1: Mushu, Alice and Dodger
- Villains: Shan Yu, Ursela, and Jafar (yay!)
- Have A Laugh: Pluto's Sweater, and Mickey and the Seal
- Star Wars: Obi Wan, and a tray that has yet to be opened... (hopefully with the super chaser in it lol)

BTW, how do I post pictures? I checked out the FAQ but I don't have a "Manage Attachments" button

I believe you'll need 10 posts before you can post pictures! That's how it was when I started. And then all you'll need is to upload it to an image host and copy/paste the URL with

tags around it.

 

[Pumbaa7287]

Sigh... everyone has Jafar but me...

I live close to Hamilton and I just started collecting too. Don't have any doubles yet, but when I do I would be very happy to trade with you. Did you get your vinyls at the Disney Store in Limeridge? I didn't see any Star Wars when I was there on Saturday. My kids really want me to collect those.

came here because the other boards are down. congrats on your pink elephant belle ella

 

[MyMuse]

Well, I can post it here at least!

Yay!

Oh, now we match!!!

I'm not going to try and get all 4 chasers either. I'm good with the pink elephant I have.

I'm hoping our trading day on Saturday will help me get Peter & Dragon to complete my Animation series as well as Easter Chick & St Patty Day & maybe Summer Santa to complete my Holiday 2 series.

Then I'm going to turn my attention to 40th Anniversary & maybe the Oh Mickey series. Until Haunted Mansion comes out. That series is going to by NUTS.

I don't think they are up yet??

I had some friends on the Maiden Voyage of the Dream who know how much I adore Vinylmation (even though they don't quite understand them). Well its good to have friends that know your tastes, because I got a special package in the mail yesterday, containing these seven figures!

You are VERY VERY Lucky! I am being a nutbag on ebay right now trying to get Night and Day and I am not even a collector! My son and I want this set so badly! It started selling for $50 approximately and is now waay over $100, just for that set - let alone all the others you have been sent here! That is oner very special friend!

If anyone is after the Park 5 9" Fantasmic! and Tree of Life and is not near WDW or DLR, they were just listed on disneystore .com at around 3:30am EST. Do not wait to get these if you really want them; the Park and the character 9" usually sell out by early in the morning, since most of the 9" vinyls are sent to the two D-Street stores in the first place.

Also, if you enter FREESHIP in the promo field at checkout, you'll get free shipping. Believe that code works through the weekend.

Urban 3 and Park 3 cases are up too, discounted to $139.95; blind boxes for both are on there for $5.99. Good for trading, or collecting if you haven't tackled those series yet.

I was lucky to order the 2 9" vinyls off the site at around 6:45 cst this morning.
The Fantasmic figure looked much better than I expected from the earlier pictures released.

 

[Belle Ella]

I'm hoping my order went through, but not keeping my hopes up sadly. I wasn't able to get on to DS.com until 5:30 this morning but it let me submit the order. Let's see if I get another email tomorrow morning telling me "sorry, but we sold out" again, like with Simba (and that order I placed at 3:30 in the morning). Trying not to get my hopes up. But in the event I don't get it through DS.com someone was supposed to pick it up for me this morning. Kepping my fingers crossed that I'll get the Fantasmic somehow.

 

[MyMuse]

I love the Fantasmic one! but I do aheva ban on getting 9" vinyls. They are just too big! I already have 2, only because they are from the old NY store and the new NY store.

I'm hlaf-hoping DS.com is sold out!!

In any case, I'm heading out to the vinyl meet / disney chat meet-up at 2pm at The Rock, NYC. There will be a big green mickey head to find us at concourse level, Starbucks, should you want to join.

I'll also be tweeting! my name is i my sig.

 

[Pumbaa7287]

I got Jafar and Old Hag in two blind boxes this morning! So excited!

Hey guys! I am totally new to the Vinylmation thing, I only have the 3" Football and 1.5" Football Field Jr. from the Sports Series.

I was NEVER planning on buying a Vinylmation ever, but I got into them because of my best friend's son, who has the entire Park 2 Series and about half of the Clear Series. I started buying them as presents for him, and I'm planning on getting him the Condiments Series and a 9" of some sort when we go to DW for his birthday next month.

Now after searching for stuff for him and reading this thread, I am totally ready to expand my collection! I want to complete the Sports and start collecting the Star Wars and Nerds Rock Series, and which ever individual ones I may like also[Like the Walk/Don't Walk, I just wish those weren't so expensive!] I didn't want to get into Vinylmations because I knew they would be addictive, but I guess they are like Lays, you can't have just one!

I'm looking forward to sharing my new collection with you all!

 

[utkscvol1]

Well last weekend we did it, we bought a whole case at the disney store. we bought the villians, they only have 4 set there. i now officially have one full set. Then last night we went and picked up a blind box animation and I got the pink elephant!! so happy!!! found out last weekend that the pinoccho my daughter has is the one with the blue ears, him as a boy, didn't even know there were two. But did find out from a guy at the store as we were checking out that they are going to start trading in the stores next month! so happy!!

Hi there

We just started collecting back in Aug and it has quickly become an addiction for our boys. We missed out on Park 1 and would like to know if anyone here has a FULL set that they would be willing to sell. Please PM me

Thanks

 

[Pumbaa7287]

Boysmom, even if someone did have a full set, there is a 99% chance they would not sell it, and if they did, they would want at least $1500 for it. The balloon chaser alone is going for over $500 on eBay. Not trying to discourage you, just letting you know what you're asking.

 

[Patriotic_Duck]

Okay, so I got the itch to buy this weekend and bought the Chip and Dale "Nerds Rock" and the 9" Glow in the Dark Create Your Own! I'm so excited!

Thanks for your response
I know if I had a park 1 set I WOULDNT sell it but thought I would throw it out there.. You never know!!
Unfortunately for me I know what they are going for. Last month I just missed out on a "deal" on ebay....full set with chaser sold for $850!!!I am kicking myself. seems in the last few weeks prices are only going up
Oh well..more waiting I guess
