Urban 2 scheduled to be retired soon

[lovevinyls]

So my friend spoke to steven miller at the PTN on friday, and he told me seven mentioned that they are beggining to "phase out" urban 2 to make way for the upcoming urban 4. He also said they try to produce enough of each set to last 1 year on the shelves.

[EvilJimmy]

thought they would be on the way out soon, good to hear.

[lovevinyls]

i know thank god, these have been around forever!!
they were released July 24 2009

[disneylover1955]

:happy: they are almost gone! :lol:

[jenn]

awesome! I can't wait for Urban 4 (the 9inch Urban 4s, not so much)

[theeighthpassenger]

Are they still selling those in the parks? I know they are not online but to be honest I'm not sad to see them go. They are by far my least favorite series.

Urban 4 looks to have some neat designs. I love tin mickey, the super mickey, and strawberry field.

[lovevinyls]

yea the urban 4 9" are really poorly desinged, except the walk/dont walk 9"/3" combo. i love that set

[yankeeboy]

guess.....I better hurry up and finish my set. thanks for the info

yeah i agree i really like most of the 3" designs not so much the 9" ones.

[LynchMOB1]

You can still buy Urban 2 cases and blind boxes online at disneystore.com. I just checked they are in stock.

[peppermint]

I'm ready to see them go. I'm tired of seeing them around the park. Let's bring on Urban 4s.

[Story]

Yeah, I think Urban 2 is ready to be retired too. It's my fav complete urban set, though and since it was the first one that really got me into vinylmations I still hold it dear to my heart :love: ;-)

[disneylover1955]

Maybe I'll buy another tray for when they are retired! :shrug:

Yeah, I've always been meaning to do that- like I know i should have for park 2!

[disneylover1955]

Hahahahah well I will make sure to actually do it since I decided not too for Park 2! :lol:

Go for it! And then trade green tea for balloon in 10 years :thumbsup: :lol:

In all seriousness, tho, that's probably a good idea! If I had the money, I'd buy an extra tray of every release, lock it in the basement, and dig them out once the vinyls are long gone. Then the newbie collectors would be at my mercy. heeheehee >=)

:look: ... 0:)

[lock*shock*barrel]

I just bought a case of Urban 2's, glad they are going to retire!

[Allotes]

I still need a confetti!

[disneylover1955]

I still need a confetti!

Hopefully you will find one before they are gone! :)

[peppermint]

Confetti has always been a popular vinyl. Good luck getting your confetti, I was just able to trade for a couple extra from CMs - but I don't have cards for them.

[vinylcraze]

have they gave a date when they will be retired?

[Return_of_Phos]

have they gave a date when they will be retired?

no they haven't but when they do you will see it posted on the vinylmation.com site and on here. But the first clue that Urban 2 is starting to sell out is when you can no long buy the cases online and when VN members report on the vinylmation tracker thread saying that they are seeing less stores carrying Urban 2

I'm going to be jumping up and down when I see that! I can finally put Urban 2 to rest! :lol:

sadly to say, we were at dstreet at the DLR and saw about 4 full unopened trays up for sale. might be a while till they're gone : (

[lovevinyls]

[disneylover1955]

Hahahaha im glad that series is gone too, I would probably bring back Park 1 and Urban 1 if I could! :lol:

[peppermint]

They are going to be with us for a little while longer, I saw a bunch at DLR and D Street today.

Ughhhhh I just want to buy my extra tray and be done with this series! :lol:

[guc32]

Yeah still saw a bunch at DLR on Sat.

How come these are around for so long and the Series 1 phased out quick. Or did it?

Im new to this.

[vinylcraze]

Does anyone think these will jump in value like the park 2's did after they were retired

[Qsk50]

I suppose anything is possible but I think the Park series is more popular
than the Urban series, IMO.

[disneylover1955]

Definitely think the Park Series is more popular but these should go up in value a little, maybe not as much as the park series but probably a little! :)

[Boybluegood]

I agree, Im all about the Park series, I think its because its so directly connected to the artwork of the park itself. Thing is though, I couldn't resist but collect Urban 2..lol
and Im sure i'll continue getting the other urban series!

Plus, yesterday I noticed that all the black boxes for trade with cast members all kept trading...Urban 2 and Holidays... it kinda took the fun out of trading. They must be really trying hard to phase them out!

Yeah, eventually they will just ship them to Disney Store and discount them online, then I will pounce on them like the Marathon ones! :lol:

You didn't here this from me :gossip: but I heard from a friend, from a friend, from a friend who is married to another friends friend that heard from another friend that said when Urban 2 becomes retired there are gonna be two figures from that series that will shoot up in value as much as if not more than the Balloon chaser and those figures are............................................... ......................the gear bears..............:lol:


I just noticed that Urban series 2 is on sale @ Disneystore.com along w/ Park #3 and clear (again). Both Urban #2 and Park #3 are $7.99 the clear are $5.99 (I think) the Epcot flower and garden is also on sale for $9.99,vinylmation shirts are also on sale

[jenn]

They really are trying hard to phase them out if they are on sale at disneystore.com. I was wondering if mass amounts of them would end up in the black trade boxes, I didn't realize thy already were! :) honestly, my bank acct is hurting so much I hope it takes a while to phase them out so that Urban 4 is released much later! Lol just wishful thinking!

[disneylover1955]

I might have to buy some from Disney Store since they are on sale! Wish the trays were on sale too! :(

[pookalooz:)]

is urban 2 retired

[azam527]

I havent seen them in a while so I would say yes

[SirScott99]

They've been retired for quite some time. I haven't seen them in the parks since 09 if memory serves me correct

[ranchdip7]

I agree with SirScott I have not seen them in a long time. I would definitely say it is retired.

[azam527]

A while yea but not 09 I dont think. I'm pretty sure I saw them at DLR in August when I was there buying Toy Story and Urban 4

[Ticklyvinylmonkee]

The only time I ever saw them was in January 2011 at the Star Trading store in Tomorrowland at DLR. I was surprised to find them since I thought they had been all sold out already but I guess they found some trays. They had 2 of them. I just bought 4 boxes and I really regret not getting more or just buying the whole sealed tray they had.

[Soulchild]

Urban 2 definitely did not retire in 2009. They were still seen in DLR around Halloween time 2010.

[disneylover1955]

They are definitely retired! I think Disneyland had them well into September 2010, maybe even November! I don't remember seeing any in Walt Disney World during Trade City (August 2010) or Christmas time (2010)! :)
