Just quickly checked the UK online store and it's sold out. Not sure when it was released or if it's an error. Anyone know anything?
 
It appeared online and then the sold out message came up fairly quickly, most likely Disney caught onto their mistake quick enough and just placed the 'sold out' sign to prevent future orders before the release date
 
Honestly I think they could train chimps better than the staff. It's still showing as sold out. I've refreshed the page 3 times now.
 
You would think they would beable to handle something like a putting something on release on the right day lol
 
Obviously not. I've been wondering if they've just given the pin a page marker (or whatever the technical term is) so we can bookmark it for tomorrow and just refresh till it shows up as available. A nice idea but they need to show something other than "sold out"! It would cut out the scrabble to find the pin when it's actually released.
 
i know, its a joke isnt it..;uckily this isnt as sought after a release as the tangled was, but the principle is still the same, the fact they re-told us time and time again that measures have been put in place to prevent such a thing happening again is obviously not true...yet again another yarn.....another goof up....when will they actually listen!!?
 
Particularly interesting in light of their insistence that they corrected the problem that led to the early Tangled Dreams release.
 
Do you guys think this was sell out quick? I won't be able to get online until after classes as I have an exam at nine (just my luck...). I know there isn't much excitement about this pin, at least compared to the last few, so I'm hopeful it'll still be online at 4ish
 
Im gonna wreck it said:
I don't think many will buy this pin as it won't make a goog trade and only 5 people are wanting it I'm giving this one a miss hope next one is better as I've leaft the last 2 as I haven't liked them
Click to expand...

There are 28 people wanting the pin so far. I'm committed to getting at least one for someone in the US. Might not bother getting a second one!
 
Just had an update from Disney replying to my query on their FB page. It was released early in error. Six pins were sold yesterday but the error was discovered "within an hour". If it had been another really popular pin, it would have been a repetition of the Tarzan and Tangled fiascos. And this is after they're supposed to have put plans in place so it never happened again!! :banghead:
