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

[Kman101]

OR... after the adrenaline rush of riding FoP has worn off, they're not that into a hand-operated limited-motion shoulder puppet. Also, their boss told them they couldn't wear them into work anymore.

LOL

I was more referring to people stockpiling them for eBay because they sold out so fast again

Do we know how many were in the initial order? I mean did they sell 10,000 or 1,000?

During opening week it seemed like they had to be selling at least a thousand per day, but they seemed to be on someone's shoulder at every park anytime you saw teens, so it could be a perception issue. However, I would definitely assume more than a couple hundred per day. So the launch window expectations were probably at least 10k, but something less than 25k.

That is quite a bit of profit on limited movement puppets.

I believe Corless said the supply was less than 2000 which seems a little low for a 6 month supply.

No way. Not at the rate they were moving over that first week. Obviously I witnessed a small snippet of that first week, but they were moving fast. I would be surprised if they sold less that 5,000 in the first week before they ran out.

Finally got one of these! They're a bit fuzzier than I thought they'd be...

LOL, but aw I have three black kittens (and two gray with black stripes, thanks to their outdoor mama getting pregnant LOL) so that made me smile

I'd just hate to see the instruction manual for making them respond like the banshees from the Rookery.

It has been quiet in here for a bit, any word on if banshees are in stock regularly now?

Was there yesterday and they're still out. Asked a cm if they knew when they'd get any in stock and they said they have no idea though I'm not sure they'd say even if they did know.

I didn't get there until 7:30pm so they very well could've been in stock then sold out again.

Dang. But I saw some bloggers post photos, they were there as the boxes were unpacked.

Do they limit how many are sold to an individual?

Not sure only thing I saw limited were the pandora magic bands (2 per person) but I'd think once they sell the banshees again they'd limit them. They definitely weren't limiting sales on the plush banshees lol.

I imagine the eBay crowd were on hand to scoop a lot of them up as well as regular guests. If bloggers are practically living in the parks (I think one is at Volcano Bay daily, helping contribute it to hitting capacity every day nearly right after it opens) then I'm sure there are those who get word and scoop them up. I could be wrong but it just seems hard to believe they sell out THAT quickly, as popular as they are. But who knows? I'm just speculating.

 

[Thanks phoenicians]

They did have them on Friday, finally got one around 2:00 PM. There was a fairly long line to get one. Not sure how many they had. When I went back by the store later that evening (about 5:30 PM) they still were selling them. They've raised the price to $59.99.

Man I must've missed them by an hour or two that's unbelievable

I guess I never bothered to look at price point lol but wow 60 bucks? How much were they before?

I won't be surprised if sooner or later they add a small saddle that you could put your Avatar figure you can make at Windtraders...Bringing the price up even further...

We were down last week and they were out of stock 27th and 29th, but saw them at 8am morning of the 30th

 

[tsaintc]

In windtraders right now. Plenty of banshees in stock.

Yeah the blogger who is at volcano bay everyday is crazy!! That guy just loves universal. I couldn't imagine going to those three parks over and over everyday.
