Reverence for Park 1's

[danzuke]

The other - she pulled SMRT from a mystery box at the pin store at downtown disney this past April (yes, good pulls do and can happen). DD had no idea what it was (she thought it was a park 4). She got so excited at D street when she found out what she had!

SMRT from the mystery box? DAYUM, nice pull!

I'd love a figment but the prices are just silly

I got lucky and spotted a figment on ebay that was selling on July 4th. I got it for around $70 and I am glad that I did. The prices now are ridiculous and keep getting worse and worse.

I'm listening to an old podcast from around the time Park series 1 came out. The host mentions that they have sold out at the parks and were only available at the NYC store. Is this the only series that was sold somewhere other than the Parks or online?

I just started collecting and there are three Park 1's I really really want: Creepy Wallpaper, ELP, and Magical Stars. Hubby is very supportive, thank goodness, so hopefully someday these will be mine!

I'd love to have a Figmouse, SMRT-1, Magical Stars or Mad Tea Party. That is, under $100. I can't see myself shell that much for one figure.

So far I have 2 on my quest to complete the Park 1 set. I got Red monorail and Fireworks. Its a slow process. I will spend the money to get that balloon chaser, I just have to be patient on the price.

I only have 2 Park 1 figures and I love them both! Bad/Poisoned Apple (that I picked up for under 100) and Figmouse (that I got for $115 shipped.) Paying that much for one small vinyl figure was sort of painful, but definitely worth it

i own exactly ZERO park 1's...but would love to someday. as everyone has alluded to, the prices are so prohibitive - who knows if it will ever happen. at the top of my list, though, would be creepy wallpaper, figmouse, kermouse, and SMRT-1...

i wouldn't turn down fireworks or teacups, either...

ironically enough, just a few days after posting this, i was able to purchase my first 2 Park 1's from a great member on the trade forums! they haven't arrived yet - but i will soon be the proud owner of P1 Bad Apple and P1 SMRT-1....woo hoo!

I was lucky enough to buy a whole case of Park 1 when it came out (avid collector of Parks). I display the whole set of 12 on my shelve and keep the other set w/o chaser tucked in the original box ^_^. Maybe I'll trade them away sometime

This might be a strange question, but I'm a fairly new collector, but have been thinking about getting at least one Park 1, in homage to the legacy of starting it all. However, because it will likely be the most expensive 3" I will ever own, I'm having trouble picturing it mixed in with my other ones! (Especially since my 5-year-old likes to hold and rearrange them, too!) Do any of you find yourselves displaying your Park 1's separately? Or hiding them away and not displaying them at all?

If youre lucky enough to have some park 1's in your collection, Id hope you would display them!

I have two park ones in my collection - smart - 1 and teacups. I got them both through trading at wdw a couple of years ago. Didn't realize how rare they were until I signed up for these forums a few days ago. Guess I was really lucky on those trades! Unfortunately, they had no cards since they were park trades.

I only own one Park 1, it's none other than Kermit the Frog. Got him signed along with his card back in April. I say if you only want one Park 1 vinyl it should be Kermit, or maybe the Yeti, he's next on my list for Park 1
