News Buzzy’s been stolen?

[EagleScout610]

So, is this a story written by M. Night Shyamalan. What will be the next outrageous turn of supposed events.

A live action Cranium Command movie?

I think the abduction of Buzzy would be the perfect storyline for the next National Treasure movie.

Apparently Buzzy's been tracked down to a private collector that bought the stolen figure.

he's been identified

Who ever did this must know something about animatronics, maybe they could sneak into Expedition Everest and fix the Yeti.

i have tried to think of what they might do and draw a blank. It will probably be a rather quick and temporary project. With a shelf life of 5 or 6 years. Just a guess.

I think you might be right now that I think about it.

Huh!

I'm waiting for the ransom video to show up on youtube, with a demand to get early access to SW:GE.....but seriously, this story makes no sense to me.

What probably happened is this:

1. BackDoorDisney admitted he's a CM. CM's can get backstage to EPCOT because that's where the Center for Living Well is; aka Disneys private doctor place. https://www.myclw.com

2. BDD Tells the guard he's there for CFLW, and they let you through. He parks in the backstage parking lot but does his exploration instead (hence why all his exploring is at Epcot, WoL, Communicore, Imagination).

3. BDD is a nerdy kid like 20 years old. He's not the smartest of kin and loves attention. So they post these exploration videos online.

4. Buzzy is stolen, either by BDD, his friends, or construction workers working literally next door via watching BDD's video of him walking around and his path so they know what to do.

5. Disney fires BDD and arrests him, mostly because he's shown leaving fingerprints all over the dang place and the first thing Disney does during on-boarding is....finger print you.

6. At the same time, there is rumors of stuff from Imageworks going missing.

So, BDD may not be THE culprit, but he is absolutely responsible for alot of the missing stuff, if not the stuff from image works.

Backstage videos are cool and all, but it's more and more a bad idea in the modern era.

Just a couple points.

1. Disney doesn't let ordinary CM's park backstage, only vehicles that have actual work to do backstage would be allowed in.
2. Disney doesn't fingerprint CM's

If Disney really cared about the possibility of him being stolen then he would have been protected and in storage years ago

 

[iHeartDisneylandCats]

So obviously today is an extremely slow WDW news/rumor day. I say we discuss the quality of Magic Kingdom toilet paper, or perhaps the removal of hot cheese at Cosmic Ray's.

A private buyer? So.... The Guardians Collector maybe?

Come on. You can't just steal a massively heavy, 10 foot high animatronic. So ones said he's been stolen, no one has any pictures or proof and BDD just happened to be around there at the time. Apparently.

Buzzy is sooo going to show up in the queue for guardians.

Update- I was able to locate all of the SGE photos before Disney has them purged from the internet. If anybody wants them, feel free to ask. I still want the 12 minute Imageworks video, so if anyone has that saved please let me know.

Disney may have skills, but no one can purge photos from the internet! Once it's out there, it's always out there

Yes they do and yes they do Atleast as of last year. On boarding included a fingerprint for the background check. Also you have to park backstage for the CFlW unless they’ve recently changed it.

The last time there was any discussion of Demolition was 6 years ago....https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/imagineers-set-to-demo-part-of-wol-pavilion.849943/

Well if they added fingerprinting in the last year I wouldn’t know so yeah I could be wrong. That’s a big expense and if so it’s surprising to me. The CFLW is not located backstage at Epcot it is in the Epcot cast parking lot. There is no guarded access to that lot. Pretty much anyone could drive up and park there. The catch is if you’re parked there you would need to walk though enter/exit the cast entrance which last time I was there has security checking bags. It would probably be easier to use the front entrance. The implication and the way I took the reported information was that whoever did this had access to park their vehicle backstage at Epcot. This would enable them to carry this out to their car and then drive it out of the park.

CFLW is backstage but not behind the security gates. It’s in the Cast parking lot and does not have access to backstage at wonder of life.

They were fingerprinting back in the mid 2000’s. I believe the practice has come and gone over the years.

As 'Troll bait', it makes perfect sense!

I was working there during the Mid 2000’s and never heard of it. I guess maybe it depended on the positions. The only time I ever had to be fingerprinted was for the airport identification I needed for airline check-in at the resorts but that wasn’t Disney it was the airport.
