new items available

[Sharifu]

Aww, that's sad you have to get rid of most of your stuff... Your parents wont store your things for you while you are at college?

[Sadiki]

Yeah I find that rather surprising as well.

If we had our own place we could store it for you, but over boarder transfer would probably make it also not worth it.

[KanuTGL]

Haha, yeah, if these do get to the UK store as well I think my bank account will be complaining a bit about it too once I'm done

And a Scar plushie! Wheee!

[nathalie]

Well, that new mug is 8£ on the website.
Which is about 9-10€.

At the Disneystore Antwerp, that same mug is 13€.

3€ difference is a lot

So I'll probably be saving up my money to make a huge order from the UK site.
Then probably just like last time, even with the 10£ postage, it'll be cheaper then getting everything in Antwerp.

Aw thanks guys, My mom will store my stuff, its just once I get back from college I'll be moving into an apartment.. I'm gonna keep the stuff that I can, but I'm gonna give away some old stuff like storybooks, playsets and maybe a plush or two. Once I figure out what I won't be holding on to I'll let you know. I just have so much stuff XD

Oh, and this is a direct quote from a guy who works at a US Disney store.. (thanks for the tumblr link HK!)

Im sure we’ll get some t shirts as well as some home items. This is only the introduction into the lion king. It hasnt hit full force yet.

[HasiraKali]

Saw that last night. I feel like I'm stalking him So excited.

[King Simba]

My mum recently paid a visit to the Disney Store and said the girl who worked there said something similar too. She said by the time TLK is released in October, there'll be much more merchandise making their way into the stores. Yay! Exactly what I was hoping for!

SS, that's too bad you'll have to give some of your TLK stuff away, but if you need any help finding a home for them, I will be willing to help you out with that.

[Sharifu]

This is such exciting news... Sounds like there will be more new merchandise then there was back in 2003 for the IMAX and DVD release.

[KanuTGL]

I went to the Birmingham Disneystore today, but they didn't have the new mug. Or any of the new large plushies

They did have those new Simba and Nala beanies, but I didn't buy any of them since I already have the two previous ones xP There's also the new beanie set with Timon, Pumbaa, Zazu and Simba, but it costs £20 and isn't quite nice enough for me to be spending that kind of money on three characters that I'm not that interested in having plushie versions of anyway... xD

[Askaru]

I found this sheets on the bed.

And I buy it today. Umm I'll have really sweet dreams with Simba and Nala ...

[nathalie]

I'm planning on going to the Disneystore in Antwerp this weekend and if the stuff I want turn out to be more expensive then ordering, I'm going to order this weekend (Sunday!).

So, if anyone wants that mug:
if I get it at the store: 13 € (18 $)
if I order it from the site: 8 £ (13 $)

see my point? if I order a lot from the site, even incl postage it might be cheaper then getting it at the store itself, since the store doesn't handle exchange rates, they just put a "random" EURO price on it

Not sure about the postage to the US though.
If it's under 350gr then it's about 16 $ ... and if it weighs more it's 25 $.

So yeah, if anyone still wants one, just let me know

(I think shipping costs from most EUcountry's would be about the same to the US?)

[Sharifu]

I might take you up on that offer, I just wonder how much more would we be paying for shipping, I mean the cost from Disney Store UK to you in Belgium. Probably wont be that much since you would be splitting the cost between me and HasiraKali. Unless King Simba can find the mugs at her local Disney Store, but I probably wont know that for a while since she's in Mexico right now.

I wanted to let people know, the US Disney Store website has TLK plushies there now!!! I might do some online shopping when I get home from work today... Especially since if you spend $75 or more, the shipping is free, so I don't really have to wait until the next chance we get to go to a Disney Store to be able to buy them.

[KanuTGL]

Wow, even a Mufasa! That is awesome Come on, get to the UK already

[nathalie]

The postage from the UK to Belgium is 9,95 £ devided by 3 would be about 4 $.

I know it's quite a lot like that though :s
So silly that they don't ship directly.

I would love the hyena plushies.
I have asked a girl I know who works in Antwerp if they will be availeble there too.
Including those t-shirts, I really like those !

Maybe someone in the US can help me out with those? hehe
(the t-shirts)

[King Simba]

I was just wondering, would it be possible if someone who lives in the US does me a big favour and gets those two t-shirts for me? Apparently they're currently on offer and I can get 2 for $20, and you know me with TLK shirts. So I was wondering if one of you could get them both for me, and I'll pay you back for the shipping. There's only one problem. My Paypal doesn't work still, so I'll have to pay you using some other method. But there'll be a way. I know there are other money transfer sites out there.

Thanks to anyone who can do this big favour for me.

Wow, even a Mufasa! That is awesome Come on, get to the UK already

My thoughts exactly. The US site seems to have the better merchandise. The UK site only has the play set and the mug that I'm interested in. The rest are baby clothes which I don't really need right now.

And it's awesome to see a Mufasa plushie. Shame about the price though.

[Sharifu]

Nathalie, it sounds like with the cost of shipping, buying online from Disney Store UK isn't really saving much compared to just buying directly from your store in Antwerp.

Tara, I'm curious, when your mom went to the Disney Store, did she see those mugs there? If so, I think I would like to buy them from you. (Sorry Nathalie. It's just cheaper that way)

Also Tara and Nathalie, I would be happy to help you get those shirts. Although I think they are children sizes, but sometimes even I can wear an XL of children size t-shirts, so I'm sure there is a size you can wear. You might want to look at their sizing chart to figure out what size you want. You two can go ahead and leave me a PM about it and I'll read it when I get home from work. I'm currently on lunch break using my Nintendo 3DS.

[nathalie]

Yeah, for you in the US it won't really

Belgium is also quite expensive with postage *grrr*

Oh, but I don't wear those t-shirts, hehe
I just really like them

[HasiraKali]

Oh no... MUFASA! I'm going to wait on him and see if he goes on sale. He's a bit pricy right now. Not to mention I have no place to put him right now. I already have two Simbas that size and they take up a lot of room.

Our store didn't have those shirts yet yesterday. I did get their last Scar though. I'll go back again next Sunday and see what's new.

[Sombolia]

Look what I got!



Best $30 I ever spent!

I really want those hyenas too...

[Safila]

what a cool plushie to cuddle upto sombi
