They could always sell the figures as cake toppers :)

I think they would have to be leery of promoting the game too much if Disney is going to shut the servers down at the end of the year as rumored. You may end up with a lot of angry people wanting to return the game if all the advertised toybox sharing isn't available. I could see them just...

If you went to the Deal of the Day page on the Best Buy site yesterday, it clearly marked this as a Deal of the Day yesterday. So they planned to remove it and switch to the $10 price. Which is still a sale price for the purposes of the the weekly electronic ad.

At some point Toys R Us will have to start clearing their massive inventory. Though they may be holding on for a long time.

I think the band just contains an ID number and all the accounting is done on the Disney server/POS system side. Once a Magic Band is activated for a user account, it cannot be transferred to another account. If you're going to sell one, it needs to be deactivated from your account. But then...

Did they give you a DCL band, or did you have to pay for it on the cruise when you asked for it? The darn things go for $80+ on ebay. My fear is that the game is somehow locked into some identifier on the 2015 and 2016 DCL bands. I think I read something about the 2014 or early 2015 DCL bands...

I haven't opened mine yet, but the story mode is not worth it I've heard. The Power Stone/Smash Bros fighting mode is the focus and worth it if you have people to play against.

I haven't seen an abundance of the Dory playset in retail like the rest (though I remember reading Toys R Us had a decent amount.) I don't think Walmart physical stores are stocking it. The Dory playset shipments to Canada were delayed for some reason, so maybe it's a overseas shipping issue...

The computer will not apply either of the DI 3.0 cartwheels to the playsets. Would have been nice. I politely asked them to apply the 3.0 Figures cartwheel or the starter pack cartwheel manually to the playsets and was politely shot down. I've had cases where much less grey area cartwheel...

Ask Target customer service desk to do a locator for other stores in your area that might have it or use the Brickseek tracker. You might even find they have them in the back and have lazily not put them on the peg. It happens. Or take a picture of the sale tag if there is one and see if Toys...

Thanks for the heads up about Target. All the 3.0 figures were scanning at $6.99 and 3.0 playsets were 50% off ($15 for dory, battleground and $17.49 for the others with two figures in them). I was trying to figure out why Ant Man was $7 on some of the Brickseek tracking locations instead of...

You also earned maybe $2.00 in BB reward certs.

It's how Nick is introduced (being cryptic so as not to spoil too much.) Zootopia is a really decent movie. Lightyears more tolerable then Frozen.

So overall in clearance strategy, I'm thinking Toys R Us is likely to be the last store to clearance out their stock with good national sales. Assuming they don't just send it back to Disney. But given how they have stocked even the 1.0 figures and playsets for as long as they have and that...

Got the final single figures I needed from Best Buy assuming the pickup order doesn't get screwed up. Passing on Dory playset for now since I don't have GCU and $25 is too steep. Wish I had gotten in on the pricematch to the Microsoft Store last weekend for $15 for the playset and $7 for the...
