Sooo... the wife and I went to DL and stopped at DStreet first and talked to a couple of the sales associates there. Here is what we found out...
1) I'm starting to think certain stores are sending out mis-info or strange info because they don't really know either.
2) DStreet no longer has an "outside line phone number." I guess downtown disney now only uses a centralized number, and will flat out not connect you to the individual store. Used for internal stuff only. So even calling the 1800 number to say you left your credit card, and ask them to transfer you to the store doesn't even work.
3) Dstreet associate said they were "supposed" to get a shipment of Indys a week ago, but he was told disney merchandising re-routed them to the "online/ap" shipping center because they oversold online. (that would explain why some people who's online orders were canceled, actually got a shipment)
4) The merch "traders" that sit outside the D-street store are still there. I counted 3. From dawn till dusk. Trading pins, little vinyls and stuff. They did not have any Indys on hand, and were waiting for them to come in. So even if you think they might show up, these guys WILL be buying them first since they are sitting in front of the store, then telling their buddies to come buy more, and they will disappear fast.
5) Dstreet couldn't tell me their next scheduled shipment. (then how did he know about the last one?)
6) in-park... we were told by an associate (who said another associate told him....) they received a "small shipment of 20" about 1.5 weeks ago, tried to restock around noon and customers were grabbing them out of the boxes before they could put them onto the shelf.
Ok.... that's the latest info I could find. And remember... I don't really trust the knowledge of the associates. Not their fault... most are just hearing rumors like we are. So take everything with a grain of salt.
