A couple of notes about what to expect.

Trading Activities
We currently have planned six trading activities – three mystery 24 boxes, two open trade boxes and one more open/mystery trade.

• Mystery 24 Box – There will be three stations featuring the Mystery 24 boxes. There will be two boxes per station – Box A and Box B. This means there will be 48 different numbers for Guests to select. There will only be one trade per visit to the station which means that Guests can select a number from either Box A or Box B (but not both).
• Open Trade – There will be two stations with open trade boxes. There will be a total of 48 figures per station presented in Vinylmation™ Trays (see, they are useful). Guests will have one minute to chose one figure from either Box A or Box B.
• Open / Mystery Trade – We are looking at one final opportunity that will be a combination of open and mystery trading.

Due to popular demand, we will introduce Vinylmation, Jr. trading into the mix. This may become an open or mystery trading activity depending upon the interest. We haven’t introduced it to everyday trading yet as we were waiting for a few more series to be released. Yet, we know there are fans who would like to trade for either Series #1 and Series #2.

Passholder Exclusive Figure Featuring Mr. Toad
Quick update on the Passholder Exclusive Figure featuring Mr. Toad. To confirm, the release date for this figure will be Sunday, August 29 at the D-Street locations on the West and East Coasts. This figure will also be available at the Vinylmation™ Showcase Event at Epcot® on Sunday (makes it easier for all of the Passholders attending the event). Remember, a valid Annual Pass must be presented in order to purchase this figure.

Creation Station
From 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., a Creation Station hosted by Disney Design Group Artists will be held. If you attended the opening of D-Street in Florida, you may recall seeing this station. Basically, a Guest purchase a blank figure and an artist will be on hand to help she or he create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. The following artists have been confirmed for the station: Quynh Kimball, Adrienne Draude, Casey Jones and Lisa Badeen.

Autograph Session with Disney Design Group
An autograph session with Disney Design Group artists will be held from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The following artists have been confirmed for the session: Thomas Scott, Eric Caszatt, Dan Howard and Lisa Badeen. There may be additional artists that will join the session based on availability. By now, you have probably seen the Silent Auction lots. Yes, the one-of-a-kind figures are THAT awesome. Look for some wallpaper images coming to Vinylmation.com later this week (for all those who won’t be bidding on the items).

Early Registration
Guests attending the Vinylmation™ Showcase Event can pick up their product and event credentials on Thursday, August 26 between 12:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Convention Center.
