Once upon a time, in what seems like a long, long time ago (it was only 3 months, but I felt like Genie trapped in a bottle for 10,000 years) the Kingsway Mall Disney Store in Edmonton, AB closed its doors. We finally reopened last Tuesday and we have had …
Life’s been hectic. As you may or may not have noticed, I’ve missed posting a column the last couple of weeks. My apologies…it’s been busy with a new full time job in the midst of the other two jobs I have. The most exciting part of all of this is …
We always like to see photographs of what’s available in stores across the world and our Japanese friend @Vinylmati0n posted a few images from one of the stores in Japan which features a very large signed Vinylmation. And below is a photograph of the Vinylmation’s available to purchase in the …
It was a regular, middle of March Tuesday in Edmonton. The fresh snow from the weekend was just beginning to melt and I was sitting comfortably in the office after lunch. Among my daily routines at work is to brose disneystore.com for sales, check out Vinylmation trading groups and forums, …
Last night, Stompin’ Tom Connors passed away. For many of you in the United States or around the world, this name might not ring a bell. I don’t expect you to be familiar with a 77 year old Canadian country artist. Stompin’ Tom is best known, however, for The Hockey …
Logged in this morning to find an awesome email from Zach over at Diamond Select Toys, who puts out Minimates. Looks like they had some fun with the Peter Pan Minimates prior to the release exclusively at the Disney Store. I am quite excited for these, which have begun to …
The latest Disney Store series dropped this week. I use drop specifically because that’s about all the High School series is worth – a drop in (choose your own destination).
Last week, I took a look at how Disney uses Facebook with different aspects of the company. This week, I’ll touch a little bit on Twitter. Instead of a big rambling rant like last week, I’ll keep this one quite short. A quick search for Disney on Twitter will bring …
Last week, I reported back from Toy Fair with what 2013 offerings Diamond Select Toys, including a bevy of Minimates from licences ranging from Star Trek to The Walking Dead. Well, I was shocked and overjoyed with an email I got today with the announcement of Peter Pan Minimates, coming …
Happy Valentine’s Day! Ah, yes, Valentine’s Day. I thought about a few ways to approach this column: different hypothetical Valentine’s-themed Vinylmation options, a list of Disney candy-heart phrases, etc. In the end, I have decided to share my own Disney love story. Travis has done a wonderful job with Growing …
Disney Store is running it’s Friends and Family 25% off promotion on Disneystore.com, phone orders and in store until Monday. So it’s a great time to pick up some Vinylmation items such as the recent Whiskers & Tales blind box series. T&C: Offer begins on February 14, 2013 and expires …
Cast Members should be like Canadians. Yes, that is an odd statement, but I want you to think about that statement for a little bit. When you think of Canadians, a few stereotypes have to come to mind: *Canadians are friendly *Canadians are non-confrontational *Canadians are good at what they …
What a difference a week can make! In just one week, the Kingsway Mall store has gone from a store full of product to a store that’s been completely emptied and ready for our Magical Makeover. Now, I know the questions that are all on your mind: “Which cases did …
Today marked the launch of 2013′s first blind box series. If Myths & Legends is a sign of things to come, we’re set up for a very good year.
Happy New Year to all! Ah yes, 2013. A new year, of course, is prone to bring change. Reminiscing what the past year has brought and looking forward to what the upcoming year will bring. Out with the old and in with the new. Blah blah alright, alright enough with …
