Wondering if I should become an AP'r? Do you get discounts on DS.com too? Anywhere I can find out more - can I be an AP'r if I am from out of state?
You can definitely get an Annual Pass being out of state - I have an annual pass and I am out of country! lol!
In any year that we are going to WDW (we go every two years for about 6 weeks) we buy Annual Passes so we can come and go from the parks whenever we like, get free parking and get 10% or 20% on all purchases (depending on which pass).
I don't believe you get any discount on ds.com.

We came to Disneyland for the weekend again and yesterday I picked up my first case of vinyls. I got the reg obi. As of 4pm dstreet had about 25 sealed cases you could see and two open about 3/4s full each. Star trader only had one open tray with about 10 boxes left. Im heading back this afternoon and will post and update of what's left. I didn't go to ca adventure

Good luck! They are selling like crazy here. Emporium had them a couple days this week. They kind of rationed their supply but sold out very quickly every day. Same went for Mouse Gears in Epcot. They put out a tray or two each day I was there this week and they were gone quickly. D-Street put out everything they got yesterday and sold it all in one day. CMs there said they had no idea when more would be coming. World of Disney put all theirs out yesterday too, but sold most of them in the first day. They just put the boxes out without the tray there and I would say there were about 150 of them yesterday. Tonight when I was there, there were like 10 left on the shelf. Not sure if there were any left. Tattooine Traders in Hollywood Studios would most likely be your best bet. They've had a pretty steady stream of them there. With the stock that there is now, I would say everything would be gone by next weekend; however, if they have another big supply coming, then you'll be in luck. Who knows though? The only thing that is certain is that they only make it on the shelves for no more than half a day at most locations.
PS - Those of you looking in the mystery boxes..YES! People are putting them in there, especially in HS since Tattooine Traders is obviously one of the highest sales places for the SW Vinyls. This week, I've gotten both a Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper out of the mystery box at Villains in Vogue. (I've also gotten 2 Landos, a Leia, and a Han, but they don't count for much hahaha)

I 'll be at DLR with the family tomorrow and plan on going to Star Traders and even D-Street to see what they have.
I would really like a couple more stormtroopers and might blind box a few for good measure.

Today, while I was at Disneyland, I ended up buying a Tray of the Star Wars case at DTD in D-Street, (first case to ever buy for myself). I ended up opening all of them outside of the D-Street store, and I didn't get the Ghost Obi Wan Chaser, but, I know its hard to find.. yet, still a bummer! lol. They seemed to have a lot in stock at D-Street. However, I did see a Tray at World of Disney in DTD (Downtown Disney), but it was one on the shelf for people to buy the boxes separately.. and some weren't in the Tray anymore. They didn't have anymore Tray's in stock at World of Disney, yet, it doesn't mean they won't bring anymore out. They just might bring more out in a few days, or even tomorrow! Never really know. I just wanted to let everyone here know what I saw at DLR/DTD.

Thanks for the DLR update, Haunted, and congrats on getting a full Star Wars tray! :clap: Too bad it didn't have Ghost Obi, but the bright side is that you really can't go wrong with a SW case purchase- all of the designs are so cool! ;-)

i left disneyland around 11pm last night and d-street had 26 sealed cases plus two open to pick from. star traders had one open case missing one and another about half full. that must have been one they took out from the back because around 9:55 when we got out of star tours they only had about 12 blind boxes total out of the two cases that were displayed. the store on main st was sold out.

My mistake. Yeah, now that I reread that I see what he meant. Allotes is right, the mystery box is the trading box the Cast Member's use to trade with collectors. It's typically behind the counter in certain stores throughout the parks.

was at the Park today, and stopped by Star Traders on the way to get FastPasses for Space Mtn.
They had two open cases to "blind box" from, but no cases for sale. Mgr on duty said they had four earlier, but they were now sold out.
Went over to D-Street around 2pm, they had at least 15-20 cases for purchase and two cases out for blind boxing...
No word on how many more were in the back, what else they had, etc....
My son did a BB and picked up a Boba Fett **** Nice**** and I grabbed a Storm Trooper. A good day
But MAN, the park was crowded today.... great weather, Halloween and AP folks were everywhere !

I must've passed you right by. I bought another case right about 5:00. And there were 6 left at that time. 4 trays in the front for blindboxing with about 3 trays worth of vinyls left. Would think they'll easily sell out by tomorrow night with the crowds. Star Trader and WOD all sold out!

I'm here at D-Street DLR, we just bought two tray's and the first one that we opened to check to see if the chaser is the Variant, and it is!!!!! Yippee!!
They're just unloading a huge new shipment, so there's obviously variants in these, but they're still hard to find! Good luck everybody. :)
Edit: we just opened the second tray, and the chaser is the variant too! OMG!! Super awesomely amazing, and so extremely exciting. Omg. xD

I was just at DLR D-street and they had about 45-50 un opened trays on the floor w/ 3 opened for blind boxing. I didn't ask if there were any trays in the back or distributed in the park or if they will get more shipment in. I should have though, but I was in a hurry and I parked in the 15 min parking spot. Sorry! I hope this helps a little!

Call the WDW merch line, not the DLR. DLR charges $80, WDW charges $30. Doesn't make sense, but that's how they do it. WDW's is a flat rate.

You can call and ask, they can look it up in their computer and tell you the exact stock. I haven't called since I ordered mine. Maybe someone has called today and would know.
At least star wars figures make great traders if you don't get a ghost!

They merged the two merch lines for DL and WDW in to the WDW merch line. I think when you call the CM's are going off of where you live as to where to have your cases shipped from. From my knowledge the DL line is no more :shrug:

DLR has a bunch of star war trays. I was there from last Friday until Monday and they have a bunch of trays. The star tour store ran out but D street had 4 trays still on Monday. I think they are going to overproduce this series and eventually everyone is going to have them that they won't be as valuable.

The production numbers for this series have not changed. This was a shipment that was planned from the beginning. They just finally have enough to keep it in stock but once this is gone, that's it.

Amen to that! It's such a bummer when collectors only love high-value vinyls.
Also, earlier in the thread someone was asking about the mystery trading boxes. To answer your question, there ARE some really good ones in there, just be patient. Yes, people trade in commons, but I know someone who's gotten a paint drip mickey from one too.

You try shipping something internationally then you will know what 'slow' is!!!!
I've got to say that shipping from Disney is actually pretty quick getting to me in New Zealand - generally about 5-10 days.
My brother in law ships vinyls to me from WI - one parcel took about 4 days to get here - one took 34 days to get here - UPS tracking doesn't help cos as soon as it leaves Chicago International Airport there is no more tracking until it gets to my house!!!!!

Yes. They had trays and single boxes at both stores when I was there on Sunday, though I had to ask CMs at both stores about the trays b/c they were in the back. And a friend of mine just bought a tray from Tattooine Traders a few hours ago. It seems that those are the two most reliable places to get SW from.

Just got back from WDW. I saw about 5 trays in Tattooine Traders on Tuesday, and a half empty tray in D Street on Wednesday. The oddest find though was at Pop Century. When we showed up on Monday the gift shop had about 15 boxes. When we left on Wednesday they still had about 11 on the shelf. They weren't in a tray, so I'm not sure if they were just restocking the shelf every day, but they certainly weren't flying off the shelves.

Pop Century, huh? Who'da thunk?
I've called Disney almost every day since I placed my order. They always say "It's all packaged and ready to go! UPS should pick it up either today or tomorrow!" But....apparently my little box of star wars is just sitting neglected by a door somewhere waiting for pick up, because that's the answer I get every day. Maybe it's just a line. But I want it to be truuuue. :(

Good to know, especially about asking about extra cases. Would hate to run from one side of DHS to another finding SW boxes. :P

They weren't in a tray, so I'm not sure if they were just restocking the shelf every day, but they certainly weren't flying off the shelves.
Pop Century!? That's a really random place to find them! Alas, also good to know. Seems like its flagship location at TT isn't as major as at D-Street, so that's great...

I've called Disney almost every day since I placed my order. They always say "It's all packaged and ready to go! UPS should pick it up either today or tomorrow!" But....apparently my little box of star wars is just sitting neglected by a door somewhere waiting for pick up, because that's the answer I get every day. Maybe it's just a line. But I want it to be truuuue. :(

P.S. I ordered from WDW
I had called a couple times this week, and today they said it had shipped! I ordered mine from WDW the day they were available, and she said my case should be here on Tuesday!!! So if you (or anyone else) ordered from WDW on the day they came back like me, I'm assuming yours should arrive around the same time!

I ordered mine through WDW also and I called today and that is pretty much the same message I got. They said it is all ready to go and just waiting for UPS to pick it up. I hope it doesn't take too long to get to me after the initial pick up because I'm dying to get my hands on these and start opening all the boxes.

At first the lady I spoke with could not find me in the system, and asked me when I ordered. After a long while, she said she could see me in the system, and that I had ordered Urban 7 vinylmations. I told her I had placed an order for a case of Star Wars vinylmations. I asked her for a tracking number, she again placed me on hold. When she finally returned to the phone, she told me that my shipment should have arrived today. I told her it had not. She placed me on hold again. When she returned, she said I had received my vinyls 10-11-11. I told her no, I did not receive the SW vinyls on 10-11-11. The merchandise CM said she would place another order for me, at no cost to me. I am completely baffled by this phone call. :shrug:

WDW also has more space to put them out. Having been to both D-Streets, ours is much larger and can hold more inventory, so that might be affecting how fast it runs out in a day.
And I just got back from WDW's D-Street as well to pick up a tray for another member and they are plenty stocked. Sealed trays are in the back and have to be asked for. I was buying a few things for people and the cast members were so amused as I told them where all the vinyls were going :lol:

Your d-street in Orlando is bigger and more spacious. The one over here at DLR is long but narrower and way more crowded. So if you go on a day that's kind of busy you will be bumping constantly with people and with the shelves. This d-street would never have enough room for that vinyl table with the Mickey on top like yours.

As much as I wish we could have afforded a case, it was pretty exciting not knowing which ones we got!
We got (in this order)
Boba Fett
Storm Trooper (quoth myself: "We're getting bad guys! I bet Vader's next!)
Vader (THE FORCE WAS WITH ME)
Luke!
I was THRILLED to get the two light-saber-wielding vinyls AND the jet pack boba. That's all the accessorized SW right?
Not a bad haul! I'm sure more will come, but not for a while. Will probably end up goin to the trade market for R2 and 3PO at least, gotta have 'em.

We were at DLR today and checked if there were any Star Wars at Star Trader, World of Disney, and D Street. These 3 stores were completely out. No trays and no blind boxes and they did not know if they will get more in the future.

Is that so?? I've never been to DLR D-Street but I got the impression that it's huge.... and I also thought that WDW's was mad small. Guess I'm in for a shocker if I go to DLR next summer
Yeah D-Street in DLR is tiny compared to WDW's! It's always a traffic jam by the registers with people trying to buy stuff and people just browsing through.

Good news for me: we eventually got to speak to a supervisor and they returned my shipping costs "this one time" ( whatever that means.. :p )
They also said they were working on getting the prices for shipping fixed as it did seem ridiculous to pay 80 for shipping one state over. As for inventory, was at DLR this weekend for Blizzcon, and they were obviously out as of Sunday :/

:lol: Me too, definitely. I'm over it now though. I was annoyed for a while, but oh well :) It annoys me that they did the super chaser in the first place. Why make the regular chaser a living Obi Wan when he was dead before Empire started?!? The Ghost should be the standard chaser in the series and there should be no super chaser. Doesn't make too much sense. They could have put regular Obi in series 2

He didn't, but he did appear as an opaque Force Ghost - in his full colors - in one scene on Dagobah (when he and Luke are sitting on the log). Technically, both chasers are his Force Ghost; one is just more Force Ghost-y. :thumbsup:

The Star Wars series is not available at retail online. Due to contractual agreements between Lucasfilm and Disney, it remains a Parks exclusive. If you track back a few pages in the thread, though, there is a phone number to order trays direct from Disney. :thumbsup:

When we were there a couple of weeks back, the single blind boxes were continually flying out of there....from all locations. Even at All Star Movies - one day they sold about 20 singles! We know..we were checking daily!
So, I don't expect them to last long anywhere. The nice thing about them is that lots of kids want any of these guys, so its much more popular than some of the Park or Urban series on sale in the parks...from what we saw.

Idk. Wdw has got to have more than DLR, there's so many more locations to get them. That def affects sales. If I see a series in every store, I am a normal shopper. But when I see a series I haven't seen anywhere else in the park, I've GOT to blind box at least one. I think DLR shoppers probably have a stronger sense of the scarcity than WDW shoppers (as far as non-collectors or new collectors, obviously crazy people like us know EXACTLY what we're doing.)

Yup went today and was surprised to see these back in stock since I haven't been looking in the star wars section on the forums. Went to star trader and saw a lando in the trade bin and was surprised to see him until I saw said series on the shelf! D street has tons of boxes but someone there said that would be it. Also star traders said they were putting a limit on how many people could buy but not sure if that's true, might limit one tray.
I picked up 4 boxes today and got 2 darths a Lando and R2D2, and in the blind trade box at d street I pulled a princess leia for a urban hippie! Going back next week so I'll probably get another box or two

If you read through the thread, that is NOT what Donald said. He said Star Wars was planned to be in stores for a year, which is why the shipments were so spread out. The production numbers have not changed, they are just spreading out when they release them from the warehouse so they don't run out as fast this time.

I remember him saying early on that the production numbers had not changed.... And they probably haven't. But, that doesnt mean that the planned production wasn't huge (thousands of cases?). Also, at the Florida Project he said that they "will be in stores for about another year." Does that mean they will always be in stock? Absolutely not, but it means that there will be a few more shipments before these are truly sold out.

Which park were at Mara?
All of them! Plus DTD. I was in most shops selling Vinylmations and there was zero stock of Star Wars. It was pretty obvious from the amount of Landos I saw in the trading boxes that they had recently been out in WDW, but no store I was in had them for sale. I was in D Street basically daily-no site of them. I was very upset about it actually. I'm only missing a few from the series(Vader, Han, Chewie and 3PO) and wanted to see if I could finish it out-but no such luck.

It's nice to see them popping up in trade boxes, that means a good stock is out. :)
