WindTraders is all out of Banshees in The Rookery (NO JOKE)

[IanDLBZF]

Various sources have reported that The Rookery inside WindTraders ran out of their stock Banshees. This occurred only 5 to 6 days after Pandora opened to the public, and they had sufficient stock during the passholder previews! I believe this must be due to popularity. Sources also say they expect a restock in three weeks or so.

We picked up two while we were there earlier this week. I hears someone laterbthat afternoon mention that they were sold out.

I bet if you were to go and check some of those other merchandise resale sites, you'll probably find a wealth of them... Not that I promote those kinds of sites at all, I'm just saying that those vultures probably came in, took their limit of what they could get, sent their teammates back for more and now are selling them for a 1000% markup.

Who's buying them as we were assured by some on here that nobody liked Avatar and the merchandise would be a huge flop

Its interesting that they are sold out from a land that wont ever be built.

Sooner or later the Wizarding world will have adoptable Shoulder creatures that will cause them to have a huge inventory of Banshees back on the rook...

I'm not a merch guy, so, to me, the banshees seem a bit superfluous. They're not animatronic or interactive like a Furby. You have to manually puppeteer them. They have a limited range of motions. They look like cheap plastic. For all that, they're expensive. And on top of that, people were waiting an hour on line to buy them!

FoP must be some kind of adrenaline rush to make people go crazy over these banshees.

I'm surprised the linked article in the original post is still there, based on where the link takes you, lol.

Huh? The DIS is not one of the unspoken sites. It's the 'easy' and the 'news today' sites that are off limits.

Reading "nobody cares or remembers the movie" for six years on the internet has been insane. Mostly because I know people who do care. Fox never merchandised the film well. There is nostalgia for the movie, and Disney saw an opportunity (and they know what is marketable).

I thought the DIS was one that was on the bad list, lol.

They're based on shoulder dragon things that have been popular at Renaissance Festivals for years.
