VINYL hidden codes for vinylmations
ITA! I saw a person at DLR intently rummaging around all the boxes. I went up to him and stood there and stared at him. He didn't even noticed me at first and I asked what he was doing. After some discussion, he admitted he was peeling off the stickers at the bottom to reveal the code because he gets all the chasers and rare variants and sells them on Ebay at a profit. He finds out when all the new cases comes in and does this. I was appalled. What was worse is the CMs all knew about it and just said See you next week. Some laughed. They said they cannot do anything to stop it because it is not stealing or illegal. I felt so sick because I buy tons and tons of blindboxes and hardly ever get a chaser and never a variant. Now, I know why.
WOW! This whole thing makes me sad. I have been collecting vinyls off and on for a while now and I never knew people were doing that but it does add up. I was just annoyed with this a few days ago. I am not kidding you when I say I have blind boxed about 75 vinyls since I started and I have NEVER, NOT ONE SINGLE TIME pulled a chaser or variant at all. It is really upsetting when you open that many and can not figure out why you can not pull a good one ever. Now I know. They are all snagged before I ever even have the chance. WOW! I honestly do not want to continue collecting these after reading things like this as I feel like unless I buy a full case which I generally can not afford to do then I will never pull a good vinyl. The kids really like these and I have 2 nice cases in their playroom full of them plus enough to really do 1-2 more cases but out of all those I only have 2 chasers and the only reason I have them is b/c I found them in clear cases at the Disney store (once at local store and once at WDW).
UGH!! Very frustrating. This should teach me NOT to start new collections of anything.
Just got back from Disney World myself, and I had one mission to collect some of the Star Wars Vinyl's. I couldn't find any anywhere till I went to Tatooine Traders and they had all the boxes mixed together and behind the counters. The CM were the ones who picked for you and you got whatever they gave you. After reading all the post I am glad they are doing that and hope to see more of it for all the collections. Going back in February and I will now my eye out for those who decide to cheat the system cause I don't have any shame and I will tell you off in a heartbeat and make sure everyone around hears. As far as the whole Father cheating with his child, My daughter is 7 and she has been collecting for a year now so I have a little experience with the trading, just about every time we have been up to the counter to trade the CM behind the counter has been really talkie to my daughter trying to find out which ones she is really looking for and if it is behind the number wall they try to get her the one she wants. They weren't collecting they were trying to make money and I refuse to by anything like this on e-bay or such just because of this if everyone would do the same then it would go away.[/QUOTE
Must find these! My friend is a huge fan of Star Wars. The CM is really nice Were you able to get all of them that your daughter wanted?
