Just did the same, I love these boxes I hope going forward I will still be able to get my hands on them, not through flippers.I know last year or two years ago there was a thing that poped up on Hot Topics site I wonder if that is where they will go?
Yeah hot topic put up an annual subcription for sale that a bunch of us bought and got cancellations for. Im hoping whomever sells the disney box offers it as a yearly subscription as it will make life easier. I already imagine Disney box release frenzies in LA.
Seems like my friend who gets the Marvel box got similar news. Sad to read the ease of getting this awesome Disney box at home will stop. Glad they're making it easy for those of us who already have a subscription to get one, and is guaranteed one. And Hot Topic seems like the perfect fit considering the above and they get a lot of Disney exclusives as it is.
There has to be a financial reason for the move (duh, of course, me, way to point out the obvious), easier to guarantee and sell a certain amount per batch to guaranteed locations vs. waiting for orders and shipping each one individually? But that's the point of a subscription box, maybe it didn't do well enough BUT the interest is strong enough they're hoping this will be a good way to sustain, and Hot Topic's Disney ties can do it? Who knows, just me speculating and rambling without looking back to edit myself or hit delete.
I hope we can subscribe through the store like the goof that happened with the Disney box a year ago. Kind of like a comic book pull at a comic book store but paid in advance? Well, it was fun while it lasted, it'll continue somehow, I'll adjust and enjoy the new way or move on. Like when Facebook changes, ha! Oh, I laugh only because it hurts and I hide behind it.
