I hate to be cynical but I wonder how many of those are flippers who will go straight home and put them up on EBay.

I'm sure some will. The Vera Bradley bags only sold at DS showed up within hours on eBay.

Increases didn't strike me as crazy as a %... except Silver...

That they went up at all in between having an increase not that long ago and before the anticipated boost from things finishing in DHS is what's concerning.

Just - Nope!

I am sure some will - though at least at WDW they were limiting it to just 1 per person so that should help a bit

Especially when you look at the YTD increase on the FL rate AP's:

Makes me sad to live in Canada whenever I see the price of FL resident passes! (Almost...)

People have already been putting them up on ebay before they had the mugs in hand, with notes like "If for any reason the mug cannot be obtained, your order will be refunded immediately."

Probably about half of them...unfortunately.

I need to find a personal shopper in the Orlando area. My son collects POPs and loves Orange Bird. However, I'm not going to pay $300 on eBay for it.

I'm as much a capitalist / free market guy as anyone, but what goes on with these things is just not right. I took my son to Comic Con last weekend. It was ridiculous how the exclusive POPs that you could only get there at Comic Con immediately ended up for sale at neighboring booths for $200-$300 (the Funko booth is not open to everyone - you have to win a lottery just to be able to get in there and buy stuff).

honestly, if Disney limits it to one per person and that is what that person elects to do with their one, then I don't really have an issue with it. Someone who can't be there in person has an opportunity to get one and someone willing to wait in that long line can make a little $

I have a bigger issue with when Disney let's people buy 10 or more of something limited and then they all get up on eBay before other get a chance at them

your comment in chat about it looking like a Vegas hotel is right on - looks like it could be a casino. Especially the outside - the lobby I like a bit more

That's pretty spot on, the tower design really leaves me cold. I was also sad to see most of the color gone from the former Pepper Market - I like the new floors, but the rest is so bland.

I agree, I can see like a 3 per person limit being reasonable, 1 for resale and 2 for personal(if your my wife) but when they allow people to get 10 or 15 or 5 or more, then yes there is a problem with it in my mind. You see this with so many Disney Items its crazy yet people are willing to spend the 500 percent markups so what can we do.

There are about 75 of the DL tikis listed on ebay right now between active and completed listings. There are about 250 of the WDW version.

Yep the front of it is just flashy. Very convention and very un-Disney.
