Dont you think that LOTS more people would join if VMK cards where sold at Wal*Mart? Plus instead of having to go to WDW just to get. Does any one agree?

I dunno, VMK cards aren't even "sold" in the first place, since your Quest [for most of them].

How about Target. I hate Wal-Mart =P

vmk cards are sold in WDW and DLR in the little pirate pack things..

At first you think ye totaly! But when you really think about it.. it would decrease the vaule of everything. So I vote no. Sorry

that WOULD rock

stuff would become not rare, at all and come on .. this isn't pokemon >_<

if there were sold on common stores the cards wont not be rare or the stuff

Vmk is really just a online advertisment for their parks, Getting the cards at their parks is a incentive to get people to go. Selling at Walmart would defeat that purpose.

I gotta agree to them

stuff would become not rare, at all and come on .. this isn't pokemon >_<
so agreed to it isnt pokemon, it wouldnt be rare or anything and a waste of money when i could go and buy about 2/3 ice screams (: better useage!

No it wouldn't! The Pirate Quest wouldn't be rare then. I think they should sell them in the parks only.

What would rock more than them being sold at Wal-Mart is if they were sold at Target.

It would be a bad move for Disney.


If it starts to sell in regular stores, it won't be rare and nobody would want them= Disney loses thousands.

ACTUALLY!
You guys are wrong.
Stuff WOULD be rare.
Its not like they are going to release everything there is!
And trust me, the stuff would have value. JUST LOOK AT DMR. ITs available, but yet.. still worth stuff! Which totally proves your posts wrong.

Sorry, but your post is actually wrong.

You have to buy MANY movies to get VMK stuff on DMR which makes it more valuable.

You have to buy one $14 card pack for ( 2 ) items which makes it a common thing.

All this equals... Disney loses money.

Acutally no. Im not wrong.
2 items for 14 dollars?
Hello. That's a lot. For 2 items that are pixels!
And they wouldn't sell everything!
How is that wrong?
You think they would sell flips/stitch?

Only reason why DMR VMK items are rare, is because you need to spend like $100 dollars for one item.

If people buy Pirate Q at simple-everyday stores for only $14, it's value will decrease drastically.

Yea but if they sold card 2 problems more ppl would join which causes lag and over population since the server can only hold 7,000 ppl and its already close to that every day and the second problem is that there would be ore items in the game..

Well Its just like Yugioh, Pokemon, Digimon, Chaotic, Duel Masters and all that Junk... Those cards ARE WORTHLESS YET... They go up to 1000$!!! Im talking YUGIOH COST ALOT OF MONEY FOR A SMALL PACK FOR 3!!!

VMK would never sell those cards! They would probably sell card with VMK items on it or screen shots of the game and there be NO code. It would become a collectors thing instead of code thing.

This is a concept that DOES work.WEBKINZ sells 5 cards for $2.99. The items on those cards are still rare in Webkinz because there are a lot of differerent items available.

But VMK is a promotion, not to ONLY make money, but to promote the PARKS.

I would LOVE to buy items in trading card packs at a local store, but I would really doubt that Disney would do it.

I'd say NO because: 1. Disney isn't hooked up with Wal-Mart too much. 2. They are virtual items AND virtual items don't matter.
vmk cards are sold in WDW and DLR in the little pirate pack things..

They are sold as a package deal VMK cards WITH pins,so they were sold because of pins.

I think their methods of collecting cards are fine as they are now.

If they sold them that would take the fun out of going to the parks and having fun doing the quests. How much fun would it be going to walmart?

Disney would lose money. Most people don't go to a Disney Park just for the codes, but some of that has kept them coming and serves as a motivation amongst them.

Okay, no.

First things first, to get an inferno, you are really spending over 100$. 20$ PER MOVIE. You need 6-7 movies to get an inferno.

Then let's say that they sell pirate quest at Wal*Mart. 14$ for TWO OF THEM, if they did that. Spending over 100$ in that will get you a good amount of pirate quest... that is worth more than inferno.

So no, they WOULD NOT have value. More people spend 14$ over PIXELS than you think. And you are spending money over pixels, too; your electric bill, etc.

And I hate wal*mart. HATE IT. I never want to go there again. And I would also hate the vmk cards being sold there because the value would go down. They should sell new items, not keep using the old ones.

ok if they did sell stitch hat card i would be very!!! happy

if they sold cards at stores VMK wouldnt exactly be "free" because u would have to pay for some items .. i like VMK the way it is

That would be awesome they should be sold at walmart

If they kept their prices at $15 for 2 cards then I think they would be rare. I would never spend that kind of money on something like that. It's not that I don't have it (being a new real pin trader, it is a very expensive business) and I would like to spend my money on pins or things that I need or like not to mention saving up for stuff.

I would honestly not care if it happened or not.

but they're aren't many, now are there..

I don't see why everybody is shooting this down.

Nobody ever said it would be specifically pirate quest or current rare items that would be sold at a retailer. If VMK released a slew of new items that were specific to the trading cards, no one would complain about rarity and the items wouldn't be worthless because of the random quality of buying a pack of cards. Also, why do people assume it must be wal-mart? It doesn't have to be.


I just don't see why people are so quick to shoot this down when it could actually increase the game's popularity, which would increase interest in even RARER items available at the parks, which would make MORE people want to go to the parks to get the rarer items. It could really work. But do i think Disney will do it? No, because they don't seem to embrace this whole vmk concept very much.

VMK is free, if they were to sell VMK cars at Wal-Mart, way more people would play VMK. I'm pretty sure they would start charging for VMK if they did that. They would have to hire more staff.

0_0 good idea, but I would hope it doesn't happen...vmk doesn't need the hordes of people that would join bc of it...look at Neopets...

First off, I HATE Wal*Mart, second, if they did this, they would be so hard to find, that no one would know about them, and third, it seems pointless to sell cards for stuff for a free game at a HUGE store chain, eh?

(Note: these are just rough estimates, and yes, i'm guessing, so don't put too much weight on this.)

not when you can sell a card you can make for like, 5 cents for about 75 cents per card... sold in packs of like 8 would only be like 6 dollars... with a 70 cent profit per card would be like 5.60 in profit per pack... depending on their popularity, this could be a big moneymaker.

but they're aren't many, now are there..

Their aren't many quests, but I assume the will bring them back or do something much funner then going to walmart, unless walmart has expedition everest now and I didn't know about it.

I have to chime in since, I have collected disney cards before.
Yes, there is a market for disney collectable cards.

VMK cards sold would be collectable and like others have said would broaden the market for VMK. I think they have decided to not go this route for several reasons, however if it did, VMK would not have to charge more for a free game if Disney has a limit of the number of subscribers then they shouldn't have opened the game in the first place. The only way I think this would happen if the Disney Co. had major cutbacks and VMK was on the virtual chopping block and on the verge of being shutdown
(Charging the people playing would then make since)

Creating VMK cards to be sold to the public market would not make other items more or less rare as disney would still be able to release exclusive in park items and would give disney a way to advertise getting quest items in the parks. Also just like many collectable cards series. it is very easy to create rare and limited items in a card run. I own several signature cards in other sets that are not only rare but hand signed and numbered ( 5/100 ). And in one Disney set there was a 1/1 (one of one) hand signed Walt Disney Autograph imbedded into the card from a paper he signed. (I didn't get this card)

Oh, and I am for them releasing VMK cards in stores!

ok ppl your seeing the wrong side of this, let me explain:

vmk is a marketing scheme for disney, they put vmk crads and quests in the
disney park so people will go there spend their money and buy other stuff while
in the park. it is a very good way of getting people into the disney parks
- make a childrens game that advertises disney products and parks
- offer something 'rare' for the game in the park
- go to disney park and buys it and gets free card for vmk
- disney gets money for u visiting park, buying item that comes with card, or
just the card itself, and u get a virtual thing which disney lost no money on
great way to make money dont u think?

so disney would never really think about selling vmk cards at wal-mart as it
deattract ppl away from the parks, disney wants to make money and if they are doing well at it at the moment why make a middle man? (wal-mart)

then from the vmk'ers point of view:
yes it would make the items less rare and less wanted, so it would end up being worth a gray crate or something
so vmk cards sold at wal-mart bad idea.

and lets not forget the worldwide vmk commmunity, i myself am not in the usa
and would find it unfair for this to just be at wal-mart in america, but if its
in disney then i can get it on vacation

so no vmk cards sold at wal-mart is a bad idea in all ways

I hate Wal*Mart. I'm never going there, even if I had the ONLY "green flips card" there waiting just for ME.

No, i think you're seeing the wrong side. Just my opinion of course. Selling collectible cards with the VMK brand would generate more publicity for the game, and in turn, the parks. The items would most likely be exclusive to the cards, so no rare items would be depreciated. Disney would probably not just stick to one retailer either, since selling them in more stores means more publicity for the game and in turn, the parks. The cards would not detract people from the parks, because things obtained in the parks have almost always been EXCLUSIVELY available at the parks. So generating more publicity for the game would get more people wanting these park-exclusive items, and therefore, make them want to go to a Disney park (well, more than they wanted to already :P)

think about it if this happens, it will be a short fad just like furby, digimon, and pokemon. Then vmk will be gone and a big joke. plus do you really want for idiots on vmk?
