Star Whoas

    The day after my great day of trading led to a not so good day at DTD. Ive recently been in pursuit of Hans from Star Wars 2 which had lead to finding all of the Star Wars 2 except Lea,Obi Wan,the Chaser, and HANS! But anyway back on track this day I got another Star Wars 2 in hopes that this time I would get lucky. So I picked one up and opened the box to find a Tusken Sand Raider which I all ready had one of but I figured what the heck Ill keep him maybe ill end up with and army of Sand Raiders by the time I'm done with this search. So my friend took him out of the box and asks me. "What am I supposed to do with his hammer?" I told him to put it in his hand and he just gave me this look and said what hand? I said the griped one duh. Then he shows it to me a says. "He has two left hands!" And true it was there was my Tuskan Raider who comes with a hammer and has to have a gripped hand lacking one. I thought to myself how does something like this even happen? It wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't come with a hammer. BUT HE DOES! Yet again it got me thinking with the recent flaws of Furry Friends and Whiskers and Tails what really goes on over in that Vinylmation factory?  So if I got a Raider with two left hand does that mean somewhere out there is one with two right hands. But this ends my rant on that I just had to get that out lol. If any one else has had similar incidents happen I be more than happy to hear about it

Now what am I supposed to do with this

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.
