And sales of loincloths increased 193%. |

This thread is useless without pictures.
I have to (once again, I know I get boring) agree with 2oony.
You have to get the permission of the audience to hock them stuff from the movie.
So, you HAVE to create a good movie with good characters and a good story. And then people will want to extend the pleasure of the movie into their lives and then, and only then will they buy your stuff.
By the way, Disney Pin people. Where the heck is the Grape Soda cap pin? How obvious IS this? |

Because the Ellie Badge must be earned. |

I sell collectibles on the secondary market, and Disney characters outsell Pixar by a huge margin. Huge.

Yes, but isn't the key word here "collectibles?" Seems to me the real money would be the Toys R Us kids and their parents, which I would expect to have very different purchase patterns. |

If you braved the pin traders at the Soda Fountain, you earned it. |

Mon 6/29/2009 2:39p | I mean collectibles as in both high- and low-end: toys, premiums, figurines, t-shirts...most of it the same stuff you buy in Toys R Us, only a year later.
People buy from me (and I imagine other sellers like me) both for adults' collections and for kids' playthings.
When you get to the secondary market, Disney outsells Pixar by a huge margin. At least in my business; other sellers may experience different results.
As you say, the primary market may be different. I don't deal in that and have no knowledge of it.
And, believe me, the 'real money,' as you call it, is definitely not in *my* business. |

Sigh, I hate having to buy at eBay. |
