Relax this has nothing to do with PI, its replacing the Planet Hollywood store.
One that retailed for 24.99 last month is going for 200 today

Noticed them in some of the stores last week and can't figure out what the big deal with them is?

With a little luck, this will get those hideous things out of the parks...
Of course, I'm only dreaming. But really, what place do those freakish mutants have in the Dinosaur post-show shop? (Aren't there supposed to be dinosaurs in the Dinosaur store?) They're yet another example of the theme-destroying homogenization of merchandising throughout the resort.
Yuck. Put them all in one location so those of us who don't get it can avoid them completely.

The save pleasure island blog has a picture of those things at the Disney Quest store. It looks like you could open the little boxes and see what is inside, if you're looking for a specific model.

They are inside a bag in the box.

That must be a PITA....How do you collect and choose? :lol:
I don't....
Oh, that was a rhetorical question, wasn't it? I'll now go back to my national pastime.

Oh, man. I'm in trouble. My wife is into Vinylmation. I'm okay with it, thus far. Up till now, I have been able to limit it by telling her she could only buy them when we were in the parks. No ebay or online or Disney Store. But, dang, a whole store of them at DTD?
Well, I guess I can learn to love them.

Drinking? :lol:
And nor do I. I like the SMRT-1 and the Figgy one, but it's not worth my eBay $$.
I've seen a couple I liked, but never to the point that I'm willing to cut into my exotic alcohol budget for one. Although, the Muppets ones coming out may entice me to put off that purchase of Vietnamese bourbon I've been considering.....

OK, my take on this:
Had a funny feeling that Vinylmation would've become a franchise back in mid-2009, when the Disney Pin site featured upcoming pins & lanyards for DL. With one store closed and out the way and the Vinylmation influence found in every shop, it was only a matter of time until it would ascend into its own store. Much like how pins were first introduced.
I admit that I have bought three: A holiday themed one (Ghost), a Park design (Snow White) and The Muppets design (Rowlf). Maybe I will buy another one, since they are cute, if not expensive. I have no plans to "buy eleventy dozen to collect them all" for financial reasons and the fact that there would be more than one of the same. Sounds familiar? Because it's also how pins (especially the 'mystery' pins) work.
In other words, it will be popular for now, but like pins, they will dwindle in popularity. It's why I want to say this would be one of those temporary stores; something for plastic ''collectibles'' until that space is then used for a better purpose.

Five pages on those scary looking pieces of ... vinyl?
I guess fans will buy anything. Unlike pins, which I can sorta/kinda/to some degree understand, these I don't.
UGLY. And they can't be all that hot because my local outlet store has had loads of them for months and can't sell them.

Character Warehouse at Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise.
And I have no clue because I don't know which series is which. I know they have 4-5 different ones and the only one I specifically recall is done like a monorail. I'm sure if you call the store they can tell you what they have.

Sounds like that stupid Beanie Baby phenomenon from about ten years ago. Just a fad that won't last and won't be profitable in a few years.
not the creative type are you? i am sure you must be talking about the plush vinyls which did not gain popularity. thanks for trolling my thread!
