After checking our local Disney Store a million times, I finally walked in this week and discovered a couple of boxes of Animation 1's out on the shelf. I figured after my bad luck of late, the universe owed me something to smile about and boy did I ever smile when I saw those vinyls on display. Taking the knowledge that I know about their packaging I bought 12 boxes of vinyls. The only thing I can never be sure about is the chaser. I got all 11 of the below figures.
And I ended up with 2 Hercules and no chaser which is the pink elephant below. Actually this time Disney made it a little fun and put 1 chaser plus 3 variants of the elephant, meaning there is a pink, dark pink, clear pink and clear purple elephant. Their is only one chaser per case so you never know which one will be in there. Basically, it's Disney's way of making it harder. It's really Genius consumerism on their part. As a marketing person myself I have to really appreciate what they got going. Cuz its sheer amazing. I am sure they are making millions. Anyhow, I will be taking to trading to get the pink Elephant. Hubby wants it pretty bad so I must find a way to get it.
Hubby and I differ in our collecting tastes. I go for what I like and he goes for complete sets. Suffice to say we have both been keeping pretty entertained. We are going to go to a big trading event in early Feb. Can't wait to meet other crazy people.
