Disney announced that they were making Vinylmations of Afternoon Classics such as Tail Spin, Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, etc. Instead of coming in a set of 12, Disney is selling them in sets of 2 with limited editions of 1000 each. Well, we heard that Tail Spin was going to be released online on March 2 so we stayed up until 12:30am on he evening of March 1st, as that is the time Disney updates the stock at Disneystore.com, hoping to get a set. Apparently people all over the US were waiting according to the forums on vinylmation.net which hubby is a member of. I am just glad I wasn't the guy in Florida waiting at 3:30am!! Anyhow, for some reason the site never listed the product and people were pissed. 
The next day we all found out that Disney had originally advertised them at $24.95 a set and wanted to get an extra $2 bucks out of the deal and spent all night updating the internet. The new price when they finally listed the product at around 11am Pacific time on March 2 was $26.95. That is kinda steep considering two cost $20 but whatever, the word limited edition apparently means they can squeeze more money out of collectors. Anyhow, hubby happened to be online checking because at that point no one knew if they would be released at all. Typically when they announce something it releases at 12:30AM Pacific time but it hadn't happened. People wondered if it would be released on March 5th as they had originally advertised.
Hubby quickly bought us one and in a matter of an hour they were all 1000 were gone. Thank goodness he checked cuz I was in meetings all morning. We were glad to get our set but later couldn't help but wonder why we didn't by two. If they are hard to get we could have traded one set for another hard to find set, like the Trade City Bird and Tree set we want. Oh well, we know for next time!!!
Anyway, we are expecting to get the set next week!! Can't wait!
