Lion Guard Merch

[Rollo]

You can't help UK and European fans getting excited that we may have exclusives, guys. The US gets everything, we're allowed to indulge in the possibility we might get something extra.

Yeah, I thought the deluxe figure set would come with a hefty price-tag attached! It's the only set of figurines I actually want to buy for TLG, so I'm being patient and hoping they might release it over here. There's no way I'm paying for it from the States. The postage and custom fees alone would kill me.

Saw this, dont know if i want to chance it. Knowing my luck xD
Its a pic of the just play jumbo kion but i highly doubt thats what one it is

[Rollo]

Looks to me like it could be the large Posh Paws one instead. Also, I think the Jumbo Kion has been selling for 20+ dollars so I'd imagine the official release would be nearer the same price over here.

EDIT: Just noticed a listing on eBAY for the Disney Store Kion plush, and the item's location is Manchester. Has someone been purchasing in bulk from the US or maybe a UK store has given some merch away earlier? Either way it's good news for those of you who want to buy one. He's a little more expensive than he will be when he's officially sold by the DS, but if you're impatient that shouldn't matter

Yeah, I have to agree with this. I don't think some people in the US realise just how little we actually receive in the long run for most franchises


Although... Who wants a Lion Guard party?

[Rollo]

^ Couldn't have said it better myself. I can't help but feel a little annoyed when people complain about not being able to find merch in the US (i.e at their local Walmart or Target) or not being able to afford it. I know it's not their fault at all if they don't have the finances, but in some situations, if we want the merch they're able to get at their local store, we have to buy it from overseas and pay tons of additional costs, just because we want to have the same stuff they automatically get. It's so unfair.

I'm so down for a TLG party though.

I dont believe it, of course the party stuff is now out, so get this I work at party city, and I told one of my managers about TLG, and told i could not wait to see what we will have for it, and she told me some popular kids show never show up in Part city, but i think im about to proove them wrong

[quote="lelizwe"]It's not just the UK, it's the whole of Europe, which is why it's a bit annoying for us, understandably. It could possibly be due to not having enough stock but I am doubting that... then again, who am I to know? I think it's possibly due to transportation problems too. If the rumours I'm hearing are correct, some stores already have their stock ready in boxes but others do not. Seems to me it just hasn't been distributed enough yet to qualify for an official release.

Not the whole of Europe.
I have mentioned, I think twice already, that Disneyland Paris has gotten the plush + figurine playset ever since February first in the parks.

I know, but that's Disneyland Paris, and not a 'regular' store with the normal amount of access that the other stores provide. Not everyone can buy from there. It's still very exclusive.
