One of the great new commemorative Vinylmation items released over the past year was the mini medals for the WDW Marathon weekend in January and then subsequent races over spring. They seemed very popular, even for collectors who did not take part in the run. So we were hoping to see the trend continue. With no announcement, the mini medals showed up once again at the expo for the Tower of Terror 10 Miler held at Walt Disney World on October 5th.
The mini medal fits around the generic 2013 Run Disney 3″ Vinylmation that is open edition and has been sold in stores throughout the year. The medal itself has an engraving of the Tower of Terror and the year 2013. The mini medals retail for $1.95 and do not have an edition size. No official word, but I would assume if there were left overs from the expo, the medals could be found at ESPN Wide World of Sports and/or D-Street.
Next year, we will see the debut of a new blind boxed Run Disney 2014 figure with a variant. Since the figure is again generic, I do hope we see a return of the mini medals.
They did not have these at the expo at all, I checked. I have been looking for them since last weekend and can not find them anywhere online or in D-street. :(
They were at the Expo on Friday for the ToT 10 Miler. That is is where I picked them up. In the Disney merchandise store with all the shirts, pins, Run Disney Vinylmation and other stuff.
Yep, they were at the Expo in the official Run Disney section. I saw them Friday and Saturday.
They must have sold out at the expo, because I got my vinylmation at the expo and was told they did not have the mini medals when I got there and to get a mini medal at D street later that weekend. D street knew nothing about this and never got any. I can not find any place online to buy them, I am so disappointed since this was my first disney race. It shouldn’t be this hard to find merchandise for a race that I paid so much to be a part of. :( :( :(
