State of Vinyl trading at the parks


    Everyone gets to the point where their collection includes a collection of traders, weather it be doubles of one vinyl or just unwanted vinyls such as the infamous Big Baby. This results in frequent trips to the many trading boxes around WDW. Since I work at WDW I frequently visit the parks and bring along my bag of traders in hope of pulling a good one from the trading box which used to be true past trips would bring home great vinyls such as park 8 Epcot (even though I already had one I like it so much I kept the second one). However recent trips to DTD with my roommate has led to many days of disappointment. The boxes are full of open series that have gone on sale both at the parks and from nearby outlet stores. They are also full of extreme wrestlers and an occasional urban series thumb.

        With the recent decision to take most of the trading boxes out of the parks leaving only one at each park and two at DTD how does this really fix the situation? Even when trading the cast member always says there nothing good in here but your still welcome to try. My own opinion on this recent change is less trading boxes= more unwanted vinyls that will sit in those boxes forever. Even though recent changes have made it so you can chose two numbers but you have to trade might help the situation I believe they should get stricter with the kinds of Vinylmations traded. I believe that a rule should be made that makes it so only blind box series can be traded this would stop trading boxes from being full of soccer balls or theme park favorites.
