We are happy to present the itinerary for the upcoming Trade City, USA – Vinylmation™ Showcase event. There are a lot of great activities planned, so you’re probably going to want to start mapping out your day now.

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

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).

From Official Vinylmation Blog:

After a long break we are back! As we’re sure you can guess, we’ve been busy putting together the finishing touches on our Trade City USA – Vinylmation™ Showcase event. We really can’t wait as it will certainly be a historic occasion as it is our first Vinylmation™ event.

As part of the event we will be offering a silent auction featuring many Vinylmation™ items, including one-of-a-kind and rare figures. Click here to download the catalog showcasing all of the auction lots. We especially love the one-of-a-kind Vinylmation™ Figures by Chris Chapman and Adrienne Draude. While we tried our best to capture the amazing artwork, they really must be seen in person to get the full impact. Both figures also come with unique packaging as well which make them true collector items.

Look for more sneak previews of the event in the upcoming week. We can’t wait to meet all of our Vinylmation™ fans on August 29!

From Official Vinylmation Blog:

August 6 will bring the release of two 9″ Vinylmation™ figures and one 3″ and 9″ set from the Urban #4 collection:
