I will admit that originally when I started collecting Vinylmation, I wasn’t a huge Custom fan. I didn’t fully grasp what people liked about them as I will happily admit that I was only really interested in getting official Vinylmation’s. But over time, I started seeing more and more customs …
A few weeks ago, the Radio Disney Awards took place, which I will happily admit, I had no clue this existed, but considering I’m in the UK and I’m not their target audience. I don’t watch the Disney Channel and after reading some of the reports from the show and …
The Mickey’s Wild West blind box Vinylmation series is a pretty popular series, Disney characters dressed up in Wild West outfits and after a load of non-Disney related series, Wild West has been a breath of fresh air, collectors love the designs and this series looks like its going to …
In April, the Royal mail once again put their prices up, it doesn’t sound much, 40p (around 60 cents) being added to a second class parcel, but it is slowly pushing up the cost of collecting. While international mail keeps going up and pushing the price up for the secondary …
If you have been a collector of Vinylmation’s for a few years, you will have no doubt noticed a huge difference in how trading/selling has changed throughout the years Vinylmation has existed. Over the past 18 months as Disney started producing more and more products, prices started to drop through …
Vinylmation in the United Kingdom has without doubt got more popular in the past year as we have seen a flood of new releases in the past 6 months which is simply fantastic. For a long time, us Brits wanted more choice and Disney have listened by providing us with …
Last week, the European Disney Stores (.co.uk/fr) went down for some maintenance and upon their return, there was the return of the Spooky 2 set (which while it sold out online month ago, its been filling up shelves around the country for month) and a very unexpected new release, the …
Lots of international collectors have to rely on the postman to bring them their latest vinyl goodie and if you’re either trading or selling your extra vinyls, you will at some point need to post them out. So here are a few general hints about packaging: Wrap Them – First …
When I first learnt about the new case layout for Vinylmation from reports at last years Mickey’s Circus event, I was excited. The idea of making smaller cases, from 24 per tray down to 16, with more variants and only 7 main figures along with a chaser and possibily a …
Over here in the United Kingdom, we don’t get too many releases of new Vinylmation. We get many more than we have ever got before but there is a growing big issue lately in what is being brought over for us to purchase. Lets look at the past 6 months …
Yes that’s a play on Poncho Pete’s fab Dollar’s & Sense columns, but I had to do some maths for this column so figured it might just fit. I’ve been looking into getting hold of the Whiskers and Tales series as I’ve slowly been worn down into liking them more …
While its easy to get caught up in buying the latest Vinyl, buying and waiting for those new vinyls to be delivered by the Postman, there is a very pleasurable thing that comes with having a collection. I’m talking reorganising. Now there are lots of reasons why you might want …
There are some complaints about Vinylmation that constantly get brought up, too many new releases, too many discounted vinyls, lack of trade boxes, mail price hikes, too many non-Disney series, new mold vs. old mold, price rises and so on. Complaints about all of these things probably won’t go away, …
Being a Vinylmation collector away from a Disney theme park isn’t always easy and I’m not talking about just internationally but also domestically too, as being in the middle of the USA is just as difficult. While most releases are available through DisneyStore.com, not everything is and as such collectors …
That title probably caught your attention but its something I’ve heard a few times in the past few weeks as there have been a few ideas why that might be what some people are thinking. First up is the reduction of the trade boxes at the parks, there can be …
