General Urban Series #8 Discussion

Also, doesn't the Gnome look like the Travelocity Gnome?

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the chaser. I think those commercials are hilarious for some reason so I have to have the chaser

mine too! the fish is a great design. the sabertooth aint half bad either. but 44.95 doesnt bode too well with me :/

Has anyone pulled any of the variants yet in this series? I'm really surprised there's been no mention of them, given that this series has been out for 2+ weeks...

We saw the orange traffic cone/barricade go in to a Mystery Box .

And no we didn't come out with it to anyone going to ask .

Here is a look at the figures:

That 9" fish is pretty cool. My question is why is that 50's girl a LE of 1000 while the others are LE 800?

[Smallcandles]

Can't say I ever understand their LE choices. I personally think the other three released at the same time are more desirable then the poodle skirt girl. I'm likely not the target audience for her though

I had stepped away from the boards for a while and cannot find Urban 8 cases anywhere. Did I miss the series?

[Deltmi]

I believe there's some at DLR. Not sure if they're sold outside the parks/downtown disney.

[Deus]

I se the Rudo variant selling around 300+ with one ...not so smart shopper paying $575! Is this variant THAT rare? U8 is still out even

Urban 8 is still readily available at WDW. Notably D-Street, EPCOT and DHS.

^ Well, not anymore it seems.

Rumor says U7 and U8 can be found at certain outlets for $3.99 per blox.

Where is a good place to find them for $3.99 per box??

IIRC, the Orlando outlet is the only one with U7 and U8.
