Little green alien popcorn buckets

So it seems that Disneyland AP members are going crazy over the little green men popcorn buckets, and like most things they are being sold out sold by the ebay vultures. Any guesses if for Toy Story Land those buckets will be coming over to WDW?

I think we will probably see them at DHS. A little off topic but I was curious about the pass holder magnets we’ve been getting as of late and sure enough they are on eBay as well. Even some with characters never released. I guess they are being created or duplicated by someone with that capability and sold for a premium. I’m not surprised.

I noticed with the Winter Holiday magnets, all we did was flash our cards and were given one, which (I guess as I didn't try) lead to people being able to get multiples. With the Spring ones, they actually scanned your band or card, and if it was scanned again came up with an alert/error that you already redeemed (I was back in line for that days concert wrist bands) so I think they're starting to crack down how they can to prevent this resale (though I'm sure there are people who still prefer $20 instead of the magnet even if they only get 1). And in regards to the never released characters, there is a "shop" (etsy and I think they have a site and go the ebay route too) that creates different ones for WDW and Universal. I'm surprised they haven't been shut down yet, but I'm tempted b/c they have a figment and I doubt I'd get one any other way....


PS: I really hope there's some TS type bucket at DHS b/c I'd LOVE to get one(some)

It reminds me of the Haunted Mansion Trader Sam tiki mug fiascos for the past couple of years. It really makes me perturbed that Disney allows this kind of garbage to occur.
