Dang, that's pretty sick! I've only got 4k points though. I bet these things are gonna sell for a lot on Ebay.

That's awesome.

Sitting on 20k myself, wish I had another 6.

If you read the fine print, a rep is going to contact you. From what I have been hearing, you may need to provide receipts for your points - as in show us you actually bought those movies you redeemed.

Yah, i saw this on a FB group (which is where I learned about this). Another dude already got contacted, and it was only to validate shipping address.

Who the hell would have receipts of hundreds of movies over the past decade? That's just silly.

Holy carp...that is awesome. Especially when it is with points that have been basically worthless for so long! Glad your patience paid off!

I got the follow up email. No receipts needed. Looks like it'll ship next week!

Sweet!

I'm sure they will be long gone by the time I get that many points saved.

Jeez, slow ass shipping!

"We are pleased to let you know that we have now shipped your Star Wars: Mandalorian and Blurrg Sixth Scale Figure Set! You can expect to receive your reward in 2-4 weeks."

I feel like they always give a pretty long estimate, but none of my rewards have ever taken nearly that long. Usually 1-2 weeks max.

So -- how do you have so many points? Is it really from buying Disney stuff? Or is there some way to gain them some other way. Just surprised how many people have them? Don't people just stream everything now?

@MrBean Post a picture when you get it.

From buying Disney movie codes over the years. Well before Disney+ was a thing and I still buy them after D+.

That's absolutely awesome. I usually just go for DVDs/Blu Ray or the posters.
I did get a Disney Avengers variant cover comic for 400 points a few weeks ago, I really like it.

My local thrift store let's me take the Disney Insiders slips and digital code slips, I offered to buy them for a quarter each but they told me I can just have them. Maybe I should start letting the points build up so I can get something cool like that.

Well .... this is bigger than expected. I legit have no room for this!

Crap.

Oh wow, I was expecting something like the size of a bobblehead lol.

I'm in this weird middle of ground of possibly selling/trading ... I truly have no room left, and I have multiple other statues on pre-order this year (including that giant F4F Link on Horseback). Looks like they're selling for $500 on eBay ... hrmmmm.

Not sure what to do yet. Before I do anything, anyone here interested?

I did just buy another bike that I shouldn't have, recouping some funds would make my wife happy fersure! haha

That thing is flippin' sweet!

I have to admit, I'd likely sell it for what it seems to be going for.

As more and more people get them, they might come down on EBay. Guess we'll have to see.

Retail, post tax/shipping, it's $641. I'd assume a handful will show up on eBay for people who cashed in points.

It's killing me not to open it ... looks so badass!

Dang, that thing is huge!

Thanks for posting the pic @MrBean. Yeah, that's a mammoth alright. How heavy is it?

If you love it, your collectable is priceless. If you love it, hang on to it and enjoy your bragging rights as someone with such a rare and unique item. The only true value is has is what someone else is willing to pay you for it.

There are three possible futures for any collectable: 1) It continues to go up in value because it is rare and very few are in circulation. 2) It stays the same. 3) It drops in value as more enter the market and its popularity fades when it is replaced by the next "big thing".

A few years ago I won a figurine of a boy riding a dragon from a Facebook sweepstakes. Almost immediately, I saw where it was on sale for half of its $50 retail value. I have never been into collectable figurines and never opened it. When my daughter moved in with her boyfriend, I gave it to her and she loves it. As much as I like the looks of the Mandalorian figure, I would gamble on selling it now and expect that I could buy one for less in a year or so if I was still wanting one.

If you link your disney plus account you get something like 30 points a month. And I always redeem the promo codes from slick deals that are about 10 points each
