When pictures of the Policeman Mickey and Fireman Donald Jrs. surfaced earlier this week, there were also rumblings of a third Jr. featuring everyone’s favorite, Goofy. Well, Disney artist Enrique Pita laid speculation to rest with the release of this on his Facebook page: My new designs, New York …
If you’ve ever brought anything while on holiday in Disneyland Paris and looked at the back of your receipt, you may have noticed a Mail Order email address. This is not a very well known program and is another excellent way to get hold of Vinylmation’s throughout Europe is through …
Happy Memorial Day Weekend everybody! This is always a fun, albeit busy, weekend for most of us. I just wanted to remind everybody that sign-ups for our newest Custom Swap, themed “Patriotism”, end next Friday. We have a stellar list of people already signed up to participate, including a well …
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 …
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, …
Thanks to Trade Street USA, we have a shot of the complete set of Vinylmations from Monsters University, which will be released on April 12th. In addition to Mike and Sulley, looks like we have Celia, George, and Randall, along with some new characters from the University. Chaser anyone? I …
This evening over on Facebook , Trade Street USA posted this picture from tonight’s DLR trading event: Looks like it’s…. Park 12 ?!? From the top left, we have (clockwise): 1. Festival of the Lion King Monkey 2. Heffalump from Winnie the Pooh 3. Goofy’s Gas Station Pump 4. Countdown …
If you have 22 Vinylmation figures and you had to divide those equally amongst 7 friends, how many would each get? Okay fine, let’s be irrational today because today is the day we celebrate Pi. Before we celebrate our Irish selves, let’s celebrate our Pi-rish selves. Pi Day might not …
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 …
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 …
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 …
First off, thank you everybody for all of your support with last week’s column about the trader boxes getting eliminated from the Parks. I got a lot of positive feedback about the letter and it got me thinking very hard about Vinylmation: why do I collect, what am I collecting, …
To Disney Parks Management and Executive: As a Cast Member, a fervent Disney fan, and a passionate Vinylmation collector, I am writing to you to express my views on your decision to eliminate many trading boxes in and around Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Specifically, I would like …
