Vinylmation Collectors Unite!!

[ironlou]

Here is a great story.

So I go to my Disney store located at the mall in Oklahoma city. I'm still new to this collection and I was working on my Nightmare collection as well as my villian collection. I just got my state income tax so what better way to celebrate than go buy a few vinyl's. I went to find and buy the 9 remaining Nightmare ones I needed (boogie, zero, santa, dr finklestein, sally and I went looking but not expecting to find lock, jock barrel and corpse kid) to my surprise the cast member went to the back and found the 4 kids! I was so excited.

As I was paying she asked me if I was colecting anythign else and I said I am also working on the villians and I just needed Prince John because 5 otehrs were on their way in the mail. She asks "so all you need is Prince John and your set in complete?" She turns around and pulled him out of a drawer. She had bought him looking for a specific one. She said "today is your lucky day" and gave it to me. She said as a gift for sharing a passion!

So I went ahead and started working on Toy Story. LOL I was so happy she gave me Prince John!

SWEET. Now that is a jackpot to bring home if you ask me, lol. Who are you missing now?

I bought the nearly full box (only 5 missing), but not enouh to give me a whole set. I'm going to try to post some pics later.

I'm missing Peter Pan and Dragon(?) and regular Pinocchio (with the ears). There are 4 chasers and I only got one.

Now, I have quite a bit to trade on our trading day on Feb 19th in NYC!

How awesome is that? I don't think I'll get so lucky, lol. I still need 4 to complete my set but shouldn't spend any more money for a while. I'm hoping that I can at least get 2 of them with my duplicates to trade later on but I'm also trying to get Magic Mirror from Park 5. I must have anything Snow White related, lol.

I am just in love with that chaser! But I think my best bet for it is eBay sadly. But maybe I will get lucky. I did blind box Jafar. Are you going to go for all of the chaser variants?

Outside of the Pinocchio variant and the chasers, I'm still missing Marie, Mushu (Dragon from Mulan), Peter Pan, Marie, and Quasimodo. I am going to get the Simba combo pack that comes out on Friday though.

 

[DisneyDispatch]

I run a site called DisneyDispatch and would like to add a new column about ... Disney Vinylmation! It would join the many other columns on the site and appear weekly.

If anyone is interested in writing that column, I'd love to hear from you.

Simba combo pack???

(And I got about 10 Quasi's last month, my picks were like magnets for him.)

I guess some series have combo packs with a special 3" (in this case Simba, from Lion King) paired with a blind box from that series. It gets released on the 11th but at DLR and WDW locations only. I'm still new to all of this I have no idea. I hope they still have some in a week and a half when my friend is there to pick some stuff up for me.

 

[Belle Ella]

Ugh, OK. SO I was very, very bad today. I now have doubles of almost the entire Animation series minus any chasers/variants and still no Marie or Mushu. I need to get my trade on like ... right now but I wont be at DLR for another few weeks. Le sigh.

Hehe, if anyone needs any of the following:

- Aladdin
- Alice
- Dodger
- Phil
- Peter Pan
- Fairy Godmother
- Pinocchio (donkey)

ETA: In hindsight? I should have just purchased a full tray. Then at least I would have everyone and a chaser.

In the past, there were combo packs for Scoerer Mickey for Park Series...5, I think and also for Steampunk.

Since I'm nowhere near either places, I'll have to wait until my May visit to WDW.

 

[Belle Ella]

Have they ever offered the combo packs on DS.com?

 

[jeanigor]

Yes, there are at least 3 combo packs that I know of, each with the extra revealed character being Mickey.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey, Plane Crazy Mickey, and a Black and Brown Mickey. I believe I heard somewhere that there would be a total of 5 of these combo packs.

The Brown and Black Mickey combo is for sale on DS.com now.

Brown and Black Mickey Combo Pack on DisneyStore.com

Here's what the folks behind vinylmation posted on their facebook:

Adorable if I do say so myself. Suppose they will be able to keep them in stock for 2 weeks?

 

[tzuhouse]

Is that a new series coming out? I thought Animation 1 had already been done, but we are very new to this and I'm probably wrong.

You are correct, Animation #1 has already been released. They are just releasing a special combo pack with Simba as a revealed vinyl on the top. The cost will most likely be the cost of 2 vinyls from the Animation #1 series, $19.90.

 

[Belle Ella]

Well, I'll kep my fingers crossed that Simba will either be online or stick around until March. Then again, I know someone who will be at DLR 1 week after he's released so I may have them pick him up for me.

This will just be available in WDW and DL?
How about at a disney store in malls????

I have become addicted!!

They said D-Street locations at DTD at DL & WDW.

No mention of Disney Stores in the malls. Might need to go chat up the manager and see what she knows...or if there is a DS CM here.....

 

[SorcererDonald16]

The Simba Combo will probably be $24.95. That's what the combos cost for Park 4, Park 5, and Urban 5. All three of those made it to DS.com, so I am assuming Simba will as well.

No earthly idea about the actual Disney Store locations, though. I haven't heard of them getting the Tonal Mickey U5 one in, but who knows what they will do about Animation 1.

 

[Belle Ella]

I need to stop buying them at DS and DS.com!! I can get my discount if I get them at DLR and D-Street, lol.

Simba is so adorable though. He looks a little sad though. Makes me want to give him a hug.

Thanks

If you have a trading night near you (disneyland?), I bet you might find someone. Or keep buying and trading animation until you get one? You seem to be luck with Jafar!

I don't know if I want all of them, it's probably drive me crazy...but I did want Pinocchio with the donkey ears.

 

[Belle Ella]

I do have an double Pinocchio with donkey ears if you had anything you were interested in working something out (trade maybe). Just putting it out there.

I'm actually trying to work out a trading night with some folks while I'll be there in March. Here's to hoping it'll work out. But I have a lot to work with for the trading boxes which will be fun in itself.

I actually just did a trade with someone from another site and I got him in the mail just now! Go figure I ended up blind boxing him last night but it's all good. I'm glad I could help them get a figure they needed/wanted.
