Volleyball Tigger LBBP
Yesterday it was reported on the Alert Board that Volleyball Tigger LBBP has arrived in WDW. There was some question as to if it was a Bean Bag or Plush... since those two do get confused. If anyone has more information email me.
March 30, 2000 When April Minnie, Globetrotting Japanese Mickey and Minnie were available back on the 21st they had several promotions going on. If you called the Catalog and ordered via phone they were offering a free bean bag with purchase of a certain amount. I can't remember but I think it was $80. Well it is being reported that the free bean bags being sent were all different. It looks as if they were giving away the $3 bean bags that didn't sell in the Disney Store.

The St. Patrick's Day custom came to America in 1737. That was the first year St. Patrick's Day was publicly celebrated in this country, in Boston. No Bean Bag news to post but I will update page if anything comes along. Have a Safe and Happy Holiday! March 16, 2000 Pirate Set I posted a picture of Pooh and Piglet Wednesday about 2pm Pacific Time. I didn't have much time to write anything extra as I was at work. So I wanted to add more information this morning. Pirate set due out in the UK this coming Tuesday March 21, 2000. This is the first two in the Pirate Set. Tigger and Eeyore will be released the next week Tuesday March 28th. We are being told that two of the four will be UK exclusive. I am being told the USA will get Pooh. Some reports have been saying we will get Piglet other saying we will get Tigger. But it is up in the air as of yet. I will check into it further and let you know what I find out. Baloo tells me that Piglet will be released in very limited numbers.
March 15, 2000 Sound Eeyore Sound Eeyore is just arriving in local USA Disney Stores. Has the body of the old Eeyore, but the nose of the New Eeyore, no bee on behind. So what is new Eeyore saying? "Hello, its just me, Eeyore." and "Nice day, probably rain." He is retailing for $9.
Thanks once again for Mary Alice. Sure is wonderful to have her around, so we can all get to see pictures of New Bean Bags coming into Disney Stores in the USA!
New Bean Bags available next week from the catalog and/or online
I heard two dates for release on these bean bags. The 21st and then the 20th. So when I find out the exact date I will let you know.
March 11, 2000
The USA has gotten some of the Dangle Keychains just recently. It is not certain if we will get all new ones coming out or not. The four pictured below have been released in Japan. The USA has not seen them yet. They Keychains that have shown up in USA Disney Stores seem to be selling quite well. I noticed when I was there last night that they only had a few of them left and not many styles of them. I think they are popular with all Disney friends. The four pictured new Dangles
Disney is having their 45th Anniversary. I found this cute item surfing. I also noticed that there was some cute pins and other items in theme with the Anniversary Celebration.
Catalog Items coming soon..... JAPANESE GLOBE TROTTING MICKEY AND MINNIE Other items rumored at coming out soon in USA Disney Stores PAUL REVERE MICKEY and BETSY ROSS MINNIE for the USA's 4th of July set? Sound Eeyore is coming to USA Disney stores next week or so a Cast Member has mentioned. We know that they are going to make a Sound Pooh, Tigger and Piglet. We just don't know yet if any or which ones will be exclusive.
March 10, 2000 Thanks to the Big Bean for the pictures! UK Pink & Blue Bunny Pooh
Due out in April in the UK/Europe. When I first read that they were coming my thought was that they were going to match the Australian Pink and Blue Bunny Pooh. But as you can see in the pictures below the New Poohs are going to be quite different in their stripes with 2000 across their chest. Australian 2000 Bunny Pooh
Father's Day Donald
Projected released date April 28th in UK Gold Donald and Mickey
I can't tell by the picture if Golf Mickey will be the same as our Golf Mickey just released. The shirt, hat look the same so my guess is that they are! These two are due out in March in Europe/UK. Mickey has already arrived in the states.
March 9, 2000 This is the list of Australian Bean Bags that will be released during the Olympics
March 8, 2000 Golf Mickey Arrives at Disney Stores in the USA. Angela P. was quick to
take a picture to share with all! Besides the fact that they both have Golf Clubs and Golfer hats they don't match to well. I guess Mickey can't wear pink? hehe This is the first set I know of that Mickey and Minnie has not come as a matched pair. Any comments on this?
March 7, 2000
Golfing Minnie This little cutie showed up at the Disney Store today. She has MM embroidered on her left side upper part of dress and a fluffy ball of fur on top of her golfer's hat. First look at her and I thought ..oh, she plays golf like I do. The outfit is more important that skill.. hehe Thanks Mary Alice for the picture once again! March 6, 2000 Pooh in the Olympics?
Sydney Australia is the Host City for the up and coming Olympics. Of course Pooh does not want to be left out of this event. Thus we are told that there will be some Australian exclusive Bean Bags. A friend tells me that they will release one a week. Sound like every Saturday during August and September. Not confirmed yet is which ones will actually be released but the rumors have it that it will be Gymnast Pooh, Boxing Eeyore, and Judo Piglet. Maybe even Pooh in a Koala suit. Well if anyone knows for sure email me and I will move it from Rumor to official news! hehe
March 4, 2000 Football Mickey
Due out this Friday in Europe/UK Both Mickey's are due out this Friday in the UK. The red one is exactly the same as the USA in looks but differ in tags. The description on the tags reads MM Football red or MM football Blue priced at £6.99 Also notice on the tags they are the older style in design. (Remember that the USA calls this Soccer but it is Football in the Europe/UK. Last time I reported on this I got quite a few emails on this! hehe) Also note that these are saying to be limited but not Exclusive but not sure who else will be getting them.
March 3, 2000
In the USA and UK/Europe we will see Easter Bean Bag Butterfly items go out for sale. USA report - We will see Pooh and Eeyore to be put out at the standard time of 2pm
Most stores will put non-bean bag items out at 10am to include Mini Rabbit in Chocolate Egg (not pictured). Chocolate Tigger Plush, Lamb Pooh Plush
Sunflower Pooh w/candy
Egg carton with mini pooh and friends
March 2, 2000 Disco Goofy Mary Alice I want to say, "Thanks for all the great pictures you take". You did a great job on Goofy! From which she reports was hard to get a good picture of because of his big snout! hehe
Disco Goofy Showed up in Local Disney Stores in the USA sporting a white leisure suit, Blue scarf and purple satin shoes! He was a $7 Mbbp. Tag Cost Well Birthstone Minnies showed up at $8 last month... I was thinking that this was a increase and we were going to see all bean bags at $8 from now on. In the UK exclusives are a little bit higher in price than regular releases. I think that the USA in now following suit. So my guess is that Birthstone Minnie and other limited exclusive items will start sporting a higher cost. Guess we will have to watch and see.
March 1, 2000 Wow, can't believe it is already March! We are expecting to see these bean bags this month. 10th of March Mickey Football Red Mickey Football Blue 24th of March Pirate Pooh Pirate Piglet Pirate Eeyore Pirate Tigger Of course that doesn't mean we won't be seeing others not listed! Just like the Release of Disco Goofy (and still no picture)!
I asked my local Disney Store when Easter items would be coming out and they said this Friday. Still doesn't seem like the actual date has been agreed upon! hehe... so make sure you check. It sounds like we are going to have some great Easter items this year and I know I am planning on buying a few ...even though they don't have beans in them! :o) There was the carton of friends
Also reported there is a Jelly Bean Pooh. I don't know if there is one or two versions of this one! For Sandy in Ohio she said her DS had got one. This one was reported to be Pooh with the Sunflower around its head and was holding a basket of Jelly Beans, and it was not a MBBP but the same size. But the question is... was this our Jelly Bean Pooh? or will we see another bean bag for Easter?! Well if anyone knows more or has pictures email and lets share with all our Disney Collectors!!
February 29, 2000 Happy Leap Day! If the year is divisible by 100, it's not a leap year UNLESS it is also divisible by 400. Disco Goofy
Well according to Michelle Disney Stores received Disco Goofy Bean Bag. This is to go with the debut of An Extreme Goofy Movie which was just released. Pictures anybody?
Sunflower Pooh
Finally we know. He is NOT a Disneyland exclusive. I am sure I hear a sigh of relief from all. We waited quite some time to find this out! Mary Alice snaps a picture of this cute guy which she bought from her local Disney Store! _________________________ UK News ...well today is Millennium Bug Pooh day.. like any of us would forget that! :o) Also String Tigger makes his appearance!
