View Full Version : Do you think Green Flips will be released and sold?
SuperInfernoBoy 10-16-2006, 07:20 PM Dear VMKF fans,
I hear that VMK may release Green Flips later this winter...
Do you think that VMK will release the Green flips for sale? I think that they should so that everyone can enjoy them. Now that staff do not wear them anymore, why not bring them out for everyone?
Green ears can stay a staff only thing...although those would be awesome to wear too!
Cheers,
Inferno!
p.s. What do you think?
:11: :h-wink:
SpinMarty 10-16-2006, 07:21 PM Yavn said in the Newsletter that they won't be available for sale.
SuperInfernoBoy 10-16-2006, 07:23 PM Did he mean for Halloween or forever?
Also, do you think that the green flips release rumor means that they may release green slippers (not flips) that can be seen on Haley on VMK's homepage?
Inferno!
Schmoofy 10-16-2006, 08:40 PM Phinny confirmed last night that they will never be for sale. I'll get a picture if you don't believe me.
PaperClip 10-16-2006, 08:44 PM What Schmoofy said! I saw her the other day and asked her if they will ever be for sale again, and she said No, they will never be for sale :(
Sdude 10-16-2006, 08:45 PM Grr... thats dumb they should sell it for St. Patrick day
post pictue then bc i heard from vmk HQ that they will you can call HQ and get any Questios answered
matzb 10-17-2006, 07:45 PM i wish vmk brought out green flips again but i dont get it that vmk will not release them again because green flips is not part of the staff uniform
Katiebcat 10-17-2006, 08:44 PM they should sell on days that go with green
Magicmagicguy 10-17-2006, 08:49 PM i wish vmk brought out green flips again but i dont get it that vmk will not release them again because green flips is not part of the staff uniform
well it was apart of the green staff costume..
Kaironzet 10-17-2006, 09:25 PM Phinny confirmed last night that they will never be for sale. I'll get a picture if you don't believe me.
Even though the VMK_ and HOST_ staff members are very well informed, they are not always the ones that determine the complete truth on these topics, since it is up to the Disney department (QA_ + Yavn) to decide how they manage the inventory of items. Anyhow, from what it was said up to now by the Disney department, it doesn't seem like they are going to be released ever again, but things could change depending on what the majority of the audience wants.
If you would like a personal opinion, I wouldn't release them for the fact of being respectful towards those who traded their heads off for them. Same would apply to the Green Baggy Pants. However, releasing Green Mickey Ears wouldn't be a bad thing, indeed, I'd love to be able to wear Green Mickey Ears.

Caterpillar AEIOU 10-18-2006, 09:44 AM I dont own Green flips, and as much as I would like a pair. It would be a horrible decision to sell them again.
Like others have said, I think they realize and respect what some of you have given up to get them. The same goes for Inferno. They will never be sold.
Manchester United 10-18-2006, 12:04 PM With all the evidence given, i would still never trade my infernos for a pair coz i would always be scared they may come back out again.
AceMoonGirl 10-18-2006, 12:19 PM Well think about this... Green Flips would have no value if it were to come out. Probably would be having a lot of people (Including me) quiting vmk because they spent a lot on their flips.
SuperInfernoBoy 10-18-2006, 08:19 PM Great opinions by everyone! I respect them all.
With regard to the fact that releasing an item would devalue it: That would go for any item in VMK! So, why ever re-release any item? For example, why re-release any retired costumes for Halloween, or re-release any retired pins, or ever give out prizes given out before?
What about the new player that just started? Remember how hard it was to trade for rare because as a new player you had nothing of value to bargain with? I have waited so long just to get the halloween items because I could not trade for any of those items because they were so rare! Now that VMK has re-released the spider web divider, pumpkin (old one), and other Halloween items, my rooms are delightfully spookier!
Anyways, that is my two cents.
Inferno!

I really just want to quote the inferno part..
Yavn said that inferno will be coming out in the near or not so near future. We all doubt that it will go on sale, actually i think the chances of it on sale is like .000001%. But inferno will probably come back out as Yavn said, but it most likely will be as a host room prize.
SuperInfernoBoy 10-20-2006, 02:58 PM Do you think that green flips will be the mystery item next week? Flips instead of hats?
Inferno!
ChoPotter 10-20-2006, 03:09 PM I doubt it, seriously, I do. As much as I hate saying this...I don't think they'll ever come out again. Yavn said they won't be for sale. But hey, maybe they'll be for some...quest? Heh, I'm just getting my hopes up. If they did come out, they should have it be for a seriously high amount of credits. Then, it might not be as umm...idk what's the word I'm looking for. Anyways, I really do doubt it.
Lan123456 10-20-2006, 03:58 PM or maybe they are saying that its not gonna be for sale because they dont want you to know to start saving up your credits
ShadowBurst 10-21-2006, 01:16 AM Wait..
How do people have green flip flops?
I mean, I thought they were staff only.
I've seen people with them before O.o
technogirl 10-21-2006, 02:09 AM I wish... Green is a cool color. I wish they would see it but remember Yavn said that green flips wouldn't be released. Please someone comfirm that. I'm pretty sure that he said that in a previous newsletter.
WCPagentGirl 10-21-2006, 02:22 AM OMG I want them soooooooooo bad. They seem so cool and I really wanted them! Like omg. People have them yes But I don't :( :( :( :( :( :(

alubadubdub 10-21-2006, 03:12 AM Well idk green flips is one of the rarest things in vmk it would be great to have them for sale again but i'm sure a lot of people would be mad sisnce they worked hard for there flips. oh yah and by the way i thing staff switchd over to red ears.
MissMandrin 10-21-2006, 03:22 AM Highly doubt it, and if they were ever sold, they'd be soo expensive.
keytopper 10-21-2006, 03:59 AM Notice that they said it won't be for the key word "Sale"
That doesn't mean that they won't give them in a host game/ vmk card/ host quest.
This is just a guess but whatever.
Chaelle 10-21-2006, 04:15 AM I don't think they should be on sale for the sake of the ones who already have green flips
But I'm not a green flips worshiper so whether they are on sale or not, I probably wouldn't buy them anyways
The only reason why people like them is because they are rare and it should stay that way
~Chaelle
AstroCool_Dude 10-21-2006, 05:48 AM I think that yavn said that green ears AND flips will not go on sale and will stay a staff only item
Tanimalcrossing 10-21-2006, 12:45 PM methinks, green flips should be an inpark quest where you have to go from WDW to DLR and back to WDW to get them, and even then when you enter the code you have to do a quest.
eddieabrahim 10-21-2006, 04:22 PM :Madhatter_bounce: I think (like some people said) they should sell them ONLY on st.patricks day except a little higher/lower but only a little so everyone will get mad...what do you guys/girls think???:Madhatter_bounce:
AstroCool_Dude 10-21-2006, 06:12 PM Okay if they do sell them then i think they would be like 100,000 credits
Tanimalcrossing 10-21-2006, 06:28 PM more like 100mil.
AstroCool_Dude 10-21-2006, 06:56 PM Yea but then who would be able to buy 'em?
BlueJalepeno 10-22-2006, 02:12 AM ARggg!
They should sell either green flips or green ears, for a lot a lot a lot of credits @ St.Patricks day, that would be SOO awesome
AstroCool_Dude 10-22-2006, 02:38 AM Someone ask yavn
aengus 10-22-2006, 05:00 AM Someone ask yavn
yavn has already said no in two recent newsletters.
avastkeith 10-22-2006, 07:33 AM Green is my favorite color...so it kind of stinks LOL. They will never be for sale again though. That's a fact.
BnyKty 10-22-2006, 11:49 AM Yes, green is my favorite color. It's no fair, why green?!
It should have been yellow...
superboomer 10-22-2006, 03:23 PM did anyone think they may have that costume ready for another kind of staff?
SuperInfernoBoy 10-26-2006, 08:56 PM That is a great thought, superboomer. Maybe we will see them on a staff member again...but a staff member with a new duty...like, VMK police or something like that?
Inferno!
SuperInfernoBoy 11-06-2006, 04:31 PM I think the should release the green flips so that everyone can enjoy them!
Have a great holiday season!
Cheers,
Inferno!
Retri 11-06-2006, 04:41 PM I don't think green flips should be released again. However much I want them, I still disagree with most of you. People who traded basically their VMK lives for them would be very mad, and it would highly decrease the rarity of one of the rarest items. Most of the rare items have been re-released! There should be some that can stay rare.
IceFrosty 11-06-2006, 04:56 PM i afree with everyone else but i have 3 things to say
1: People who traded there butts off tring to get a pair of green flips would be sad that they could have just waited for it and now all of there stuff is gone AND it would lose its value
2: People who DONT have it would be happy that it is back and they have a oppertunity to get it. like me i didn't get to get the cowboy suit last halloween but i got it this time.
3: (totaly of topic) you know that at DISNEYLAND RESORT you can get the stitch hat and all the other things that come with it. I heard (not to spread a rumor) that they MIGHT come out with a simba hat?
KrazyLuke 11-06-2006, 09:14 PM Green Flips have been said that they will not be released again. They were previously a Staff Uniform and only a selected few were lucky enough to get them in BETA before Staff got the official 'Green Staff Uniform'. It would be unfair to those who bought them and have had them since the beginning, if they were to bring them back. Also to those who traded a lot for them. Since it is a retired staff costume I believe it will staw that way. Although releasing Green Ears would not be that bad as they were not released to anybody else but staff and they are not being used by anybody as of now.
Facnyface 11-06-2006, 09:36 PM I have a question? Why did you copy my old thread about this before asking if you could copy me? Intresting.
Just as an edit here is it copyed from my orginal post in my thread dated back into march.
Green Flips Time To Trade Or Not??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I dont know if you have noticed but i have that more and more poeple every day are starting to trade there Green Flips why is this you ask well as most of you all know that St. Patricks day most if not all green clotheing will come out only for a certin ammount of days (THIS DOES NOT INCLUD GREEN EARS) and also some furnishings as well but if you have noticed people are trading them while they can im not saying for sure that Green Flips will be out for sure and im not say that they will but im just saying that it is really odd to see so many poeple all of a sudden trading Green Flips and a St. Patricks day thing where most if not all green stuff comes out (THIS DOES NOT INCLUD GREEN EARS) and the reason i put this in trade threads or post or what eevr you call them is because This is about trading green flips thanks for reading
Have A Magical Day! - Fancyface
alexpersons 11-11-2006, 02:48 AM well it was apart of the green staff costume..
green flips and inferno will never be sold again sayed a QA_STAFF person
AstroCool_Dude 11-11-2006, 03:50 PM Yes i heard that too by i think QA_Calfdawg (if that's there name)
KrazyLuke 11-11-2006, 04:36 PM Many staff, testers, and producers of VMK have stated that Green Flips will never be released again in ANY way. Also I heard that Inferno will most likely not be coming back into HOST Games. (Unless it is a quest and only about 3 are given. This rarely happens).
This information was provided by: QA_caffdawg, yavn, and multiple staff.
AstroCool_Dude 11-11-2006, 04:54 PM yavn said that the inferno might not be a prize for this year maybe next year
grayman 11-12-2006, 05:53 PM Green Flips have been said that they will not be released again. They were previously a Staff Uniform and only a selected few were lucky enough to get them in BETA before Staff got the official 'Green Staff Uniform'. It would be unfair to those who bought them and have had them since the beginning, if they were to bring them back. Also to those who traded a lot for them.
I have heard this argument again and again about how re-releasing beta is unfair to those who got it during beta and I still don't understand it. I won't disagree with the fact that it is slightly unfair to those who have traded for green flips or beta, although if you trade for something that is valuable simply because it is not available you always take the risk that it will be released again. But I can understand people being upset after they traded so much.
This isn't the point of my post, however.
I want to address the complaints of beta players who bought beta during beta and then kept it for months, perhaps even a year with no real intention of ever trading it. A lot of these players, but not all, seemed to really enjoy lording these possessions over other players. I personally made ridiculous offers for some beta items that were dismissed out of hand and watched even bigger offers get turned down the same way.
Then, when beta is re-released, these players whine and complain about how their rockets are now worthless.
My question is, if you didn't trade for them, and you never planned to trade them, how does it really affect you if other people have the same thing?
I mean, if I have a really nice BMW, and then my neighbor buy another BMW, mine is not worth any less.
I would like to recommend a book to the beta players who complain when beta is re-released: "The Sneetches and Other Stories" by Dr. Suess.
Retri 11-12-2006, 05:58 PM Grayman, you've said it pretty well, but everything is different in online games. Rarity is usually based on the number of a certain item out there. Green flips are pretty rare because in beta, people thought they were ugly! Trading is always a risk, even for the most common of items! Who knows, maybe your crates will someday be worth lots? I think the main reason people want green flips is because they're rare. I'm not saying that everyone thinks that, though.
evina 11-12-2006, 09:39 PM the vmk staff confirmed that green clothes like shirts pants flips and hats or any staff related clothed will never be released. sorry
Gobbles 11-12-2006, 11:59 PM Green Flips are not sytaff related.
Green shirt you can get for creating a new character.
Green Pants staff only.
Green Ears staff only.
BetterDays 11-13-2006, 12:11 AM Either way, green flips shouldn't be released. Think of all of the people who spent many infernos on them. =[
Chele 11-13-2006, 12:40 AM Green Flips are not sytaff related.
Green shirt you can get for creating a new character.
Green Pants staff only.
Green Ears staff only.
Hmm, not exactly sure what you're trying say.
Green flips, green bag pants and both boy and girls green staff style shirts were sold in beta. You can get all of them currently through trades (if you're lucky) and can NOT get them by creating a new character.
There are shirts that are similar if you create a new character, but are not the same. The boys shirt is a different shade of green and the there is no half shirt in green for girls.
Acecoolrussace 11-18-2006, 02:18 AM i think it will not be sold in vmk
AlwaysPrincess 11-18-2006, 05:12 AM There have always been rumors flying around that flips would be brought back. Staff has been saying for more than a year that they would never be. Yavn said it in the newsletter.
I don't think that any of this will stop the rumors.
But no, I don't think that flips will eveer come back which is why I "invested" in them a while back. It was the one thing that I thought would actually stay rare.
ParamoreGal 11-18-2006, 05:41 AM I think they want to make a few things really rare. Including the green flips and most likely green baggy pants will not come out again. So mostly green should stay rare considering they have gone like a year of not being sold. I know inferno is not what I am talking about. However it stays as a favorite host prize that is very slim of winning. However there are about 6 green flips in vmk. Most likely people who belevie they will get green flips by saving their money spend it you have nothing to lose. Or else try to collect the smaller rare as inferno. Like 3 and there you go. No credits involved :). However this may be more challenging to even trade for inferno. But keep your hopes up peoples. This rumor will never become true. Unless if in a matter of years they change there mind like the quote from Christopher Lloyd from Back To The Future's I, II, and III, " The future is unwritten make it your best. " Well you heard my opinion however as AlwaysPrincess's clarrified I can back it up with how I have talked to 3 different staffs about this subject and all there answers have been to this FAQ is triple ( litterally ) No. That is a lie.
Thanks for asking your question :).,
Punkyem1
DisneyFiggy 11-18-2006, 05:48 AM I just want to note that 10/100% of VMK players have green flips so I dont think its fair for the other 90% of the people to get jealous.
SuperInfernoBoy 11-23-2006, 08:58 PM So they should release them and everyone will be happy!
Please VMK, release green flips!
Inferno!
Sassy_Sydney 11-23-2006, 11:07 PM No way. Think about all the people who traded for them, and offered several infernos. It wouldn't be fair
SweetChinMusic 11-23-2006, 11:14 PM Just close this thread. We all know that they will never be for sale or released again.
Jroxallsox 11-24-2006, 01:24 AM Hey... I talked to VMK_LoLo.
She said they wern't ever going to be Sold, In VMK that is.
naruto the next hokage 11-24-2006, 01:28 AM well if they sell them they would have ANY value at all bc every knows how rare they are and buy like 10 sets at the time you could get a pair a Crate!!
Kitri 11-24-2006, 01:28 AM I know they won't ( green flips ). Bc Yavn said so in an interview.
podracergonemad 11-24-2006, 09:03 PM I asked one of the hosts and they said that they weren't sure.
Julesoola 11-24-2006, 09:35 PM So they should release them and everyone will be happy!
Please VMK, release green flips!
Inferno!
So VMK should also give everyone a full lanyard of infernos so that everyone will be happy? ;) You know what i'm getting at. With that reasoning they should just release unlimited amounts of everything to everyone so that "everyone will be happy". Except that people will stop playing because there's nothing left to work for. Big picture.
Haveamagicalday 11-25-2006, 05:27 PM So VMK should also give everyone a full lanyard of infernos so that everyone will be happy? ;) You know what i'm getting at.

Exactly what she said! Some ppl play vmk for not only friends but to have rare stuff as well or some just like trading. I go on and off about if i want rare stuff.
But as we have seen that vmk staff SOMTIMES NOT ALWAYS like to trick ppl so they dont expect stuff to come out if they told us when stuff will come out then, ppl would save credits until that day then buy alot of them which would bring down the rareness of the items then why trade anymore? On they other hand if they dont tell you, then you dont know when it will come out (or anything in this manner not just green flips) then you will be surprised when it comes out and makes it worth while to keep waiting.
Before beta was re-=realesed, they said it would NEVER come out but now some have and alot of the rare ones have not just the not so rare!
So dont think that what they say is ALWAYS true but i think green flips will never come out! bc ever since i remember they NEVER said it would and they know that ppl want them so it makes ppl trade for them its one of the most rarest thing in vmk why would they give out all the rarest things?
