The leak about the future windows that showed up by the artist, hyped it for Hades which was #3 of the series!!
Oogie was #5, last of the pictured group, and scrappers were already on the market for the earlier designs for $5, w/o backer cards, so traders wanted to make sure they got originals.
People lined up at least an hour in advance for stores in DTD, and brought extra people, so even before stores opened, it was soldout and CMs advised when lines were closed. Leaving others trying to get into the parks. The line for 20th Century was filled first, then when rope dropped LGM, then Westward Ho.
Those that didn't get in the 1st group for DLR, we lined up over at DCA since it opened an hour later thinking we'd have a better chance. Not necessarily so, cause after it sold out at DLR they joined their friends in vague lines at DCA cutting in. I was 4th in line, by the time gate opened I was about 30th it seemed. Also at the gates some knew that CMs would pre-scan their tix and rushed into Katz, luckily they gave out colored tickets, which didn't guarantee you, but was suppose to stop the cutting. Sadly it didn't stop the position swapping, and pushing to the point people were yelling and getting upset. Security came to stop some arguing and pushing.
All the windows sold out within the 1st hour park wide, with complaints probably to City Hall.
Some of us thought either it's not worth this or they need to do wristbands for safety purposes. It was getting hostile and dangerous for everyone.
The dreaded gap came for the rest of the series, and once pins showed at WDW event the characters were revealed.
The rain storm squashed the crowd for chernabog and Facilier, seems after that the demand just died, and I'm guessing the resale.
So since the last frenzy/crazy was last at Oogie where people lost tempers, and got physically/emotionally hurt, it seems this next group of windows is leading to a similar run.
I could be wrong, and hoping I am! But since Ariel is next, I can't imagine her being in less demand.
Hope this helps...
