So a trip to Epcot and Magic Kingdom this weekend lead to a surprisingly good trading turnout. Our day began around 12 at Epcot with a stop by Mouse Gear to check out the trader box with the recent trip to DTD and a poor turnout of traders from both D-Street and Pin Traders I was really not expecting anything great and just there for the fun of it. However this was not the case I traded my Mascot Pluto and on my first try pulled a D-Tour DJ Mickey... not bad but not really what I was looking for since I all ready had one for trading. However my second pull was surprisingly good and I was quite excited when the person pulled out Jose Carioca from Animation 2. It goes with out saying I took him with me which started my goal to get Panchito Pistoles when Animation 3 comes out. This would be just the beginning of my great day of trading.
After leaving Mouse Gear I took my usual tour around showcase and had to stop and ride The Gan Fiesta Tour staring the Three Caballeros to celebrate and also since Donald is my favorite character. After spending a few hours at Epcot I took the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom in hopes to continue this good luck which didn't let me down. The first thing I did was stop in at the Emporium to again this time I traded my D-Tour DJ Mickey however both pulls was good this time the first pull was an Animation Fantasia Donald which I would have snatched up if I had not all ready had one. So I guessed again and pulled a Villains Medusa. I was never really interested in the Villains series but saw her and had to have her.
I had my friend with me that day so he used his Theme Parks Favorites Tee Mickey to trade and pulled yet another good one a Villains Gaston! Gaston just happens to be my favorite villain. So after we left and enjoyed the rest of the Magic Kingdom which sadly didn't include Pirates since it was down for most of the day. However before leaving that night I said why not stop in again since we had one trader left which I don't recall at this time and see what they have. The good luck stayed all day because in the clear box was a Pixar Mike! He just had to come home with me.
This was our good luck finds of the day
This recent trip made me think maybe the recent reduction of trading boxes was actually a good thing. Maybe it did help remove unwanted vinyls from the boxes.
