Arendelle Aqua
It looks like Disney Park is about to start a new color trend/craze with Arendelle Aqua. This is inspired by the Disney animated feature film Frozen and the soon to come Frozen 2. This collection will be available in Disneyland, Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disney, Shanghai Disney, and online at ShopDisney.com. Arendelle Aqua is a very pretty icy teal/aqua color. The line of merchandise includes:
Mini sequins backpack & crossbody bags by Loungefly
Minnie ears
Alex & Ani bracelet w/ teal charm
Spirit jersey
Crocs
Travel mug
Various food/beverage themed after the color
Her Universe’s Unisex Ewok Collection
This adorable unisex collection featuring Ewoks is available now at Her Universe and BoxLunch. The graphics on the tees reminds me of the cartoon “Gummi Bears” from the 80s/90s.
The Ever-Changing Prices And Purchasing Rules At Galaxy’s Edge
Just before D23 Expo, the only way to purchase a single Kyber Crystal from Galaxy’ed Edge was to purchase a Jedi or Sith Holocron ($49.99). This rule meant consumers who may have already own a Holocron couldn’t buy a different color Kyber Crystal for their Holocron, which is one of its selling features. Having experience this myself, it was incredibly frustrating. Why should consumers have to purchase another Holocron just to be able to buy another Kyber Crystal?
This particular rule was lifted during the weekend of D23, and has not been reinforced since. Now, you’re able to purchase a Kyber Crystals as a single item at Dok-Ondar’s. But will something similar happen again when the new ride “Rise Of The Resistance” open?
Visitors have also seen price increases on various merchandise such as Kyber Crystals, character plushies, legendary lightsabers, and more.
Urban Decay Gets Naked Again
