Figment Popcorn Bucket Insanity

[thanxfornoticin]

Any reports on how good the popcorn is?!!! I hope for $200 on eBay, they'll send some popcorn to fill it!

Some of the bids on eBay are over $270. That is truly insane.

On a positive note. The crew loved the bucket!

I am going Sunday to Epcot. Maybe I'll give it a glance depending what time I get there. Where are they selling them & where does the line start? Not sure what direction to head when entering the park.

FYI. The line for the Figment bucket is stretching around future world. I was the first in line and waited five minutes. Cast Members are advising the current wait time is 6.5 hours.

The worst part is that I have an interest in some of the stuff that is at that food booth that is not a popcorn bucket. Oh well. Hopefully they'll sell out of these before my february trip.

And I’ve said this on other posts but if I somehow ran merchandise the first thing I’d do is hire humans to scour eBay and other websites and stopping the sales.

How exactly would you do that? There is nothing that prevents someone from reselling a second-hand item that they own...

I don’t get it.

I'm going next week and I really hope they have a separate line for that bucket as I want some grilled cheese. I remember the insanity with the Orange Bird sipper and this looks worse.

Not so much prevention but seeing trends. Basic marketing and social media handlers. And then take it from there

I aint mad at 'em. Seems like if they are in line for the popcorn bucket, they are not in line for Soarin or Test Track or whatever...

At the time it was a 6.5 estimated wait for that food booth in addition to ling lines for other festival related merchandise at creations shop, 70 min for frozen and 95 min for Remy based on what I read on Twitter

All this would accomplish is they would raise the price of the buckets to $150.

People are trying to make back the extra money they're shelling out for everything now any way they can.

If a $270 popcorn bucket floats your boat, who am I to judge? The fervor for them at the parks wouldn't be so bad if there weren't a crazy aftermarket for them.

There are already 5 on Ebay with multiple bids for over $100.

But yes Disney, don't worry about redoing Journey Into Imagination to make it better. No one cares about Figment.

If only...

Biggest complaint right now from people I’ve spoken to in the parks is that they really want the food from that booth, but can’t due to the line. They really need two lines!

I just went over to get a bucket for DD....just one. The line is still 4 hours. Not doing it

I don’t blame you. I’m willing to bet that tomorrow they move the line to elsewhere in the park, somewhere out of the way. Assuming they still have inventory.

Instead of buying everything from China Disney should be able to source items from America, US Mexico..Have the ability to get a reorder in weeks not months, or never.

Should DIsney sell on Ebay for $75?

My mom had a friend there who planned to get one for them and one for us she just called to say they waited 4 hours and was told one per person fwiw
