I have seen the small world one already on ebay sold in mass quantities. It says it is being released tomorrow. Can anyone shed some light on this?
I have a feeling the small world one has already been scrapped though

Wait just saw the seller is selling the other ones, and many have been sold already

I hadn't seen anything on it yet but I will check the next time I go up....probably on the 15th. It looks like a great set! I'm sure someone here can pick up one for you at the park.

There are quite a few on here that will be at the parks tomorrow but alas I fear their minds are all on new fantasyland and pluto :lol:

Thanks so much for the wonderful pin jsutherin1!
I love it so much and the picture doesn't do it justice!

Just to my suspicions last month. They have already been scrapped

The problem with these flat vinylmation pins is that they are soooooo easy to counterfeit. I am starting to think that someone has the metal stamp and is just pumping out total fakes of vinylmations Jr's that dont even exist. Not including the scrappers, the ones stolen from the factory before release, and the low quality ones that sneak into circulation in the disney retailers.

Couldn't agree more. Remember the Booster Pack of Princess Shoes? Fakes were being sold in auctions months before the official release, and were selling for outrageous prices. It definitely happens. And I know for an absolute fact that there are people out there that get scads of pins that "fell off the truck" and sell them for profit. Yes, they are real pins, but did they get them legally? No. >.< Just one more thing to look out for.
