That Darn Cat!

The longer you stay in a hobby, the more likely you are to meet a few people who share the same interests as you. While we definitely do not think we have been collecting for very long, one of the people we have been blessed to meet is Catherine Liu.

Catherine Liu is not afraid to admit her love of all things Disney. And to further share her experiences with everyone out there who may feel the same, she has created both a blog and a YouTube channel dedicated to her "obsession"

Or if you are not the reading type, her YouTube channel features many videos that you will not be able to find on her blog. Definitely worthwhile to check out both

Remember to show her some love with a like, subscribe or even a comment. She has been known to not only respond to everyone but amaze them with her incredible knowledge of Disneyana!

Hoarding Han

Today, the remaining Carbonite Han Solo were set to go on sale at Disneyland Resort. One of our favorite Vinylmation traders Catherine Liu decided to brave the crowds and take her chances. Pulling it to the parking lot, it already began to look like a mighty ominous day...


Making her way swiftly to stand in line, one thing was clear. Dozens and dozens of people woke up early to also come stand in line hoping to get a set as this has been one of the most anticipated Vinylmation releases in recent history!


Unfortunately, Catherine's valiant effort was unrewarded as she was unable to purchase one of these coveted sets :(

In a trend that seemed to start last week Friday with the Carbonite Han Solo release at Walt Disney World, there were many pictures popping up of people online who had bought as many as they could get their hands on and had their buddies do the same. These sets have begun to pop up on both social media sites and eBay at astronomical prices and will continue as long as people are willing to pay!

This brings us to our question for all of our readers. How much are you willing to pay for Han? How many sets did you buy if any? Which side of the "hoarding" fence are you on? For us, we will wait until the prices go down after the initial craze and hopefully get our hands on one soon :)
