Lion Guard Merch

I picked up Fuli and Ono plushes from the Disney outlet today. Also got Bunga, Beshte, and Janja blind figures from Target. They didn't have Ono or Fuli. It wasn't my usual Target, so I might go back there tomorrow. I'll let you know if I'm able to pick up an Ono for you, Squeely.

I'm so jealous of the US right now because of all this neat merch. I'm really struggling to understand why the UK hasn't even premiered Return of the Roar yet... it didn't need new dubbing, so why the long wait? I wish we had an answer. And I'm hoping and praying that they conciede the release of the Disney Store and Just Play merch with Return of the Roar's release instead of the series itself, or else we could be waiting forever.

According to a high up Disney Store cast member, it's because we're part of Europe.

The people making decisions about what the UK receive also make the arrangements for Europe in general, which is why we don't really see much difference in a store in France versus a store in England. Which is overall a silly thing to do, since what's popular in one European country isn't necessarily what's popular in another

I'm honestly surprised by that. I'm pretty new to the Disney Store in terms of being a collector, I've only really started now that TLG is here - but for some reason I always assumed we'd get exactly what the US got and not long after they received it, too. It always seemed like the UK and the US had that sort of similar 'connection' in terms of who oversees the merchandise launches, things like that. I didn't think we'd somehow differ there.

I agree with some past posters that I do believe cast members in the UK are lying when they say they have no idea about what's happening. That doesn't make sense to me either, as if we're going to be shocked about things we already see online anyway It's not as if it's just our crowd. I've seen parents on the Disney Junior page already talking about having showed their kids TLG through online sources. It all seems a bit old-fashioned to me, releasing things months after one country gets it when we have the internet to provide all the information we need.

I do have my fingers crossed that we'll be seeing merch next month. I may be wrong here, but is there any chance that with some European countries having RotR premiering at the end of this month, we could start seeing merch soon after that? The thought of waiting until the summer to receive this is sort of worrying.

@HK: happen to find another Kion figurine in the blind bags?

^ WANT!!!!

I do hope they have some merc at DLP.

I'm hoping on February, as it's sales month now, they are trying to get rid of stuff, and usually after sales they get lots of new things.

*gasp* I can't blame you for not having watched TLK 2 really ... lol
(ok ok, it ain't that bad though ...)

I honestly didn't know there was a second one at all! I really enjoyed it!

And a 3rd :p

Has anyone seen a poster other that the Kion roaring I front of an intense sunset design? I really want one for my room but not that one

[gothprincesskiara]

can someone find it and post it up for us so we can see?

Thanks in advance! No pressure to go, I'm sure you're busy, but if you get the time or have other stuff to buy as well...

I'm off today, so I can go any time I want. I need to go get some stuff anyway.

^ two is the best!!

I feel bad for those out of country...it almost makes me wanna buy extra merch and help out

^ To be honest, as nice as your intentions are, you're probably best just letting the majority of us wait. Unless you could guarantee low shipping and no custom fees, it's cheaper for us to be patient, as hard as it is!

Plus, I'm sort of forcing myself to be patient because there's nothing quite like walking into a store filled with your favourite merch. Scientifically proven.
