With the new Nintendo/Universal team up do you think Disney will stop selling Nintendo merch at Epco

[Happyhapp]

I'm asking this because when I goto the Japan pavilion at Epcot I usually buy a pokemon plush, but I'm wondering with the Universal/Nintendo team up if Disney will stop selling all Nintendo products in the Japan pavilion. What do you think?

No. That store is run by Mitsukoshi, not Disney.
There is still a LEGO Store despite affiliation with LEGOland.

On a similar note, I noticed Disney stuff for sale in a Universal gift shop.

Mitzikoshi is a 3rd party operating participant. They run the store there and choose what items are sold there.

Not for the foreseeable future.
Unless Mario, Pikachu, and Captain Falcon become to be associated with the Universal Park name to the extent that Harry Potter is, I can't see Disney turning down the money they're making off of the merch sales.

Nah. They still sell Marvel stuff, despite Marvel being over at IOA.

The deal Nintendo has with Universal has nothing to do with Merchandise sales. Case in point is Transformers were being sold at Mitzikoshi despite being a Universal attraction.

Disney owns Marvel.

Here's a better question. Is Disney gonna counter with playstationland? That would be awesome

Disney owns Marvel.

Wow, breaking news.

IOA still uses Marvel characters.
