So as you may be aware the Inside Out collection came out last Tuesday and me, being such a saddo went in early before the shop opened to ensure I'd be the first to get some. I have heard in some places people queue up really early and fight over tsum tsums (ridiculous!) on release. I was able to get up early since I'm on study leave for exams until next week.
My Disney Store (Derby) opens at 9am on weekdays and I got there early despite the rush hour traffic and surprise surprise I was the only one there! But what really surprised me was how little there was of the new collection! There were less than 10 of each style on the tiny rack that was at the checkout. This shocked me as pictures I saw later in the day of stores nationwide and overseas had much larger stocks! Thinking back I should've taken a picture to send to Disney along with my complaint that I later made about there a) being no Fear tsum tsum at all (which I then had to order online with £4.95!!! postage and was so lucky to get one as he sold out pretty quick and I kept clicking adding to basket until one finally became available) and b) the staff were holding some back for themselves! I saw it with my own eyes! Now I go to the Disney shop fairly regularly and haven't once seen the same member of staff and that means there are a lot working there. Therefore, my reasoning for there being so little stock of Inside Out tsum tsum being that most staff are using their positions to get them, may be correct but of course I could be wrong. I took what I saw up with Disney who fully listened to my complaint (I did this through their Facebook page) and they said they'd investigate further. I hope they do, as other people were really disappointed about similar and other ways in which Disney have been handling Tsum Tsum Tuesdays.
Disney also claim that the tsum tsum collections they release each month aren't limited edition, yet they say there are no plans as of yet for a future release. Well that spells limited edition to me and a lot of others I've spoken to over social media.
Excuse me, rant over now! Here is a picture of the whole Inside Out gang, Fear arrived today after almost a week.
Comment if you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them! :D
