Pin increase coming soon (next week)?

[starry_solo]

So, I've been browsing through the new ODPT website - still yucky:

http://www.disneyparksmerchandise.com/pins/

And I noticed that both the Peter Pan Piece of Disneyland History and Windows to the Magic 101 Dalmatians have been priced at $14.95. I thought the last ones for these series were $13.95.

Yes, they were/are:

I'd link to the picture for Pinocchio but February's list is all messed up, wrong pins with the wrong pictures!

So, when does this price increase take effect?!

Well if those pins are released in April... I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the price increase goes into effect in April. :lol:

It blows... some of those window pins aren't even worth $13.95! (Peter Pan for example.) The merchandise people at Disney need to get their act together. I hope these pins take longer to sell so they bring the price back to its original price point.

lol as i said to someone else on a different thread welcome to 2013 where prices will go sky rocket high.

 

[starry_solo]

LOL, I know that's when they will go up (in April, obviously) but exactly dates? It probably means the other windows pins (that may still be there) will go up to $14.95 too

Disney never go back to original price. They just stop producing what doesn't sell. (WDCC, big figures, Disney Auctions pins and many others)

Agreed but they did sell out

Thats not true WDCC did amazing market value, D23 is what killed it they gave all the WDCC perks to D23. And DS took down DA and now we don't have any

Since Disney doesn't seem to follow any known economic model except up up up, I think we should just call it Dinflation.

Dinflation!!!! Love it!

Like Pinflation, Pinsanity and Pinaholic.

Yeah and it took forever to sell out. LE pins will always eventually sell out. Look at those Jumbo Believe in Magic pins from January... those were LE 300, priced at $24.95, and it took about two weeks or more to sell out.

Dinflation.

:lol: I love it!!
This word MUST be entered into the lexicon of collecting. Whever possible, I will use "dinflation" when I'm annoyed about the prices Disney charges (which is most of the time!).

Don't forget Pinjury!
