Thought this was a NYCC Exclusive. But I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

It supposedly is. However, today on Reddit someone posted a newer image of it (image I posted here) and it had the Disney Parks exclusive on it. Not sure if it was supposed to be a parks exclusive and was changed or they plan on releasing it at the parks as well. Not sure what the point of making a Disney land ride POP exclusive to a NY convention 3000 miles away.

Got this cool little POTC tin on eBay. It depicts a few of my favorite scenes from the attraction. Probably the best piece of POTC merch I’ve seen in years. Not sure when they sold it in stores. Has a Jack Sparrow figure inside but I bought it for the tin.

Still can’t believe how weak the POTC 50th merch was. Still a head scratcher considering how much money they left on the table.

Seriously? We are excited by a cheap tin? Lame.

But seriously it was more a comment on the fact that Disney is dropping the ball with POTC merch. And yes I do like the tin. It reminds of the old school quirky kind of park collectibles that they don't make any more (art style aside). Its one of those things that has no business being made when you consider Disney doesn't do a great job of showcasing attraction scenes on any of their merch. For $9 bucks brand new in shrink wrap, i like it. Tbh i think its way cooler than those cheap generic plastic droids you post about from Star Trader.

I know people that have collected every single variation of those build a droids. They use them for huge dioramas. A cheap tin won't be used for anything except to pencils or left over fast passes. ;)

This sign that was original released for the Mansion 45 is back in stock after a year plus of not being sold.... Excellent buy at only $95

For fans it’s definitely a quality pick up. Personally, I’ve never been a fan of that devil or whatever that is on the top of the sign. It doesn’t really seem to vibe with the the attraction. Has that sign been there since 1969?

I wish they would do a replica of the POTC sign in the courtyard

Yep, they've been there since opening.

Agreed on Pirates, they also need to do the Disneyland dedication plaque and the "here you leave today" plaque.

It's also disgraceful you can't buy a quality model of the Castle, or Space Mountain, or the Matterhorn

Various pictures of the sign from 1969 from Long Forgotten Haunted Mansion (always a great source for HM info)
