So I was opening my sets, pondering a strange thought: "I wonder who wound up with set number #1 of these things?" The guy at the packing plant when they start to roll off the mastering line? Eisner? Are they stored away in the Disney archives?

Well, some mysteries man was not meant to know. Failing that, lets compare what we got and see who got the lucky draw with the lowest set number.

I only picked up two of the four:

Tomorrowland: 88,107 of 105,000
The Front Lines: 73,858 of 250,000

. . . both from the north Seattle Costco.

I only bought the Front Lines DVD and I got 82,707/250,000.

Two lows and one high... got these from Amazon.

Mickey Mouse In Living Color II - 59,109
The Chronological Donald Duck - 71,100
On The Front Lines - 240,835

Mickey Mouse in Living Color II - 89,603
The Chronological Donald Duck - 54,976
On the Front Lines - 157,865

On the Front Lines - 40,480
Mickey Mouse in Living Color Vol 2 - 150,721
The Chronological Donald Vol 1 - 155,860

One low, two high... all great

On The Front Lines - 244,991/250,000

Parma Ohio Best Buy.

I'll be posting what my Tomorrowland one is just as soon as I get it.

I have number 1800 for Mickey Mouse in Living Color Vol 1. I thought that was pretty good.

I picked up all four at the local Sam's Club. None of mine where all that low in number, but I pulled out the inserts for the Mickey in Color II, and I right behind my certificate for 59,854/175,000 is another certificate for 59,853/175,000. I guess someone, somewhere is going to get short changed.

Anyone else get two certificates in the same tin??

Picked up all four:

On The Front Lines - 014,165 / 250,000
Chronological Donald - 162,075 / 165,000
Mickey in Living Color Vol 2 - 116,324 / 175,000
Tomorrowland - 009,387 / 105,000

Looking forward to going thru all this stuff..

Chronological Donald: 5,153
On The Front Lines: 24,427
Mickey Mouse: 118,696

Canada seems to be the place for the tins numbering less than 10k.

Only opened Tomorrowland - Disney In Space And Beyond so far...

37,971

frontlines - 028316
mickey mouse -019022
and on tomorrowland a big 001850
and yes, im in canada

On The Front Lines 21,299

Haven't picked up the others yet.


Anyone know where i can get a copy of "Goofy"? I missed that one.

DOes anyone have any idea why these aren't stamped on the front like the previous releases? I was pretty disappointed to see this, but of course it doesn't impact the disc itself. Just a nitpick.

The clerk at the Disney Store where I got my copies yesterday was also into the Treasures -- picked them up every Christmas for her adult son -- and she told me the reason for the delay from last Christmas to May was because of the difficulty getting the tins. Maybe that accounts for not stamping the number on them.

On The Front Lines - 30,470/250,000

My guess is the cost of replacing the tins if they are returned due to dents. Remanufacturing a serialzed tin would never happen as it is cost prohibitive.

E-bay.

The Disney DVD club still offers the old ones, but they're only available in group packages, so you'd have to buy "Mickey B+W" and, uh, whatever the other second wave title was ... but E-bay still has them seperately, and 'Goofy' isn't too bad [I think it's the fourth most expensive on E-bay.... it seems to be "Mickey in Color, vol 1", "Silly Symphonies", "Mickey in B+W" and then either "Goofy" or "Davy Crockett" ... if you keep an eye on it, though, and don't rush the purchase, you shouldn't have to pay more than $30 or so].

Mickey Mouse in Living Color 2 - 124,506
The Chronological Donald - 10,493

Damn you, Canada! Mine were both 120,000+

Opened my Mickey Mouse. It was 74,804.

I got pretty high numbers :/

mickey mouse in color vol.2 - 25,097
tomorrowland - 30,370
on the front lines - 138,405
chronological donald - 38,877

The delayed release was to accomodate extra replication runs of Pirates of the Carribean and Finding Nemo, nothing more.
