Tipping Tractor Deluxe Set is officially sold out.
Way faster than I had expected.
I’m not sure when it became available, but Frank is now on the DS site!!! I got mine, good luck everyone!!!
Here’s the official T5 link:
Sorry if it doesn’t work, I’m working from my phone. You can just go to the Disney Store site and search for tractor.
You can use the code DVC10 to get 10% off too 🙂
You are awesome! I am trying to return my order now and repurchase it.
The online support is not too helpful. They are saying that my order is locked or something strange. This saves me sales tax which adds up quickly.
Don’t forget SHIPTODAY for free shipping too
I did not miss that one. Thank you for the heads up though!
They would not return my order or apply the discount. They said that discount is only for the Disney Vacation Club members. Long story short, she admitted that I could return the item at the local DS. With that chat log, I made a secondary order with both discount codes and will return the original order.
I was going to suggest that 😉
I just tried to get it online and it says not available.
This is sad.
I was at the Disney Store by me on Saturday and overheard someone ordering over the phone all of the RIP Clutchgonski’s they had in stock. Ebay sharks are everywhere. I got the last one on the shelf.
I just checked the website and it’s still available. Try it again.
I think he was referring to Rip Clutchgoneski. He came online for a very short period of time before he was sold out.
Thanks guys for the heads-up! Got my Frank! Finally! Now, I wonder if there’s going to be some kind of special on this LE set.
After reviewing the description on DisneyStore.com and other facts, like the ability to purchase an unlimited amount, I am leaning away from the stance that this is a LE set.
Normally DS will not allow you to place more than one or maybe two of a limited item inside your cart. I was able to add 4,850 sets to my cart without issue. I did notice that once I hit the 4,850 mark the item disappeared from the site as available, but then my cart was automatically modified moments later by reducing the qty to 49 items instead of 4,850. It was strange. But anyways, back to the point, I have a feeling that they made 5,000 sets or more of this item. Would that still allow this item to be considered LE?
The Mia and Tia set says 1 of 5000 right on it, so I’d say if there are indeed only 5000 then this is a limited edition set. It is odd that they wouldn’t market it as such, though. Seems like a favor to the collectors out there.
I woke up and decided to check. I was ordering mine when this was posted. I have no idea why today, but who cares, it’s here now.
I wonder how many they have and how long it will take to sell out. My guess is sometime next week they will be sold out. This set is awesome!
Saw your emails this morning and got him too…thanks for the heads up
I had checked at midnight and he was not there 6 hours later my xmas shopping is now complete…..thanks again everyone
Any updates on the release date for this box set ??
DS seems to update their website on Monday mornings. With that, my money is on the 19th or Black Friday. This is just speculation. I would have assumed that they would have released it today. But it seems as if they are attempting to release the new products closer to Black Friday.
Still not on the DS site, looks like we’re waiting for Black Friday 🙁
I concur. I was greatly disappointed this morning when I checked.
Now the game, when will DS update the site for Black Friday? Will it be in the middle of Thanksgiving or at midnight or . . . ? Last year they went online Friday morning at midnight PST.
I am sure they will sell out very, very quickly. Especially being a LE.
I have made numerous attempts to contact the Time Square DS with no success. They never answer their phone. I also contacted guest relations trying to squeeze out a date, again, no success.
I am totally stressing out about this….this is the last thing i need to make my kids xmas awesome…all he talks about is Frank and the Tractors…i just really hope i dont miss it
Ahh… I don’t know if they would put something so popular on Black Friday. Aren’t Black Friday deals super good deals? Wouldn’t they want to release it earlier or later, so they can sell as many as they can at full retail?
I think we need to check DS’s site everyday, and not leave anything to chance.
If this set debuts Black Friday with a door-buster price, I doubt if it’ll still be in stock on Saturday… unless they planned it as a Black Friday special.
I’m a little confused as well. I thought the point of Black Friday deals was to advertise the heck out of your deals to build up demand. How could this be a black Friday deal if it hasn’t even been announced? The only people who even know this is coming are the readers of this site.
I don’t think it will be a Black Friday “Deal”. I think they are just going to update the DisneyStore.com site all at once.
I have noticed that no new product have been listed online for about 3 weeks. One exception to this statement, Rip Clutchgoneski was re-listed (sold out very, very quickly). But remember, he was just a re-release, not a truly new item with a new SKU.
The reason I do not believe they will be cheaper than list price is because DS coupons exclude LE items. With that said, it might be a push to drive numbers as high as possible to publish to impress the DS investors. Just a theory. I do hope I am wrong and that they are sold prior to BF. I would rather it not be a competition of who can stay up the latest.
I will take it!! 🙂
This does look like a really cool set but. Mattel would never think about this.
From all the reviews about Frank, i’d be nice if his combine didn’t break as easily now. I think Lightning should be a little more happy, but with this set it works pretty good. Boooo Mater.
Once again, Mattel wouldn’t give us this in a million years 🙁
But luckily I have the Mattel Frank so that doesn’t really effect me…
DS Frank is the best diecast from the Disney store…
Can’t wait for this! This and other other Mega set they just came out with (saw in person, it’s pretty sweet). Just waiting on the sales.
Can’t wait for this set, we don’t have a white tractor and we could always use another frank. I just hope it doesn’t sell out before we can get one.
Frank was $20 and the individual cars averaged $5.50 (five would be $27.50), so this is a pretty consistent price. (It must be huge, and also very heavy! I can see why they don’t want to put it in the stores.) It’s also a chance to get a white tractor…I have Frank and one each of the two colors of tractors, so I won’t be getting it, but it’s a great set, the crazy Mater notwithstanding!
25% off is coming instore and online from November 8th to the 12th, let’s hope these land in that period.
Also, Black Friday should promise anywhere from 20-30% off everything instore and online for at least the first few hours of the morning.
Finally, you can save also if you are planning on buying Brave or Finding Nemo, as these will offer a coupon with a window for saving $10 off $20 or more, or $20 off $40 or more. I believe the pricing (in Canada) is 31.99 for the three disc edition (2 Blus and 1 DVD). Brave is coming out on i belive the 13th, and the coupon can be used for a few days after this.
As of now Frank is not listed on the Dstore site and the coupon expires today.
Awesome! Is this in the 1:48 size or 1:55?
I think he’s more of the DS 1:48 size, but to the real life combines, he’s more of the 1:55 scale.
Would love to get him this time around.
Obviously a great set. These are the type repeats we don’t mind. However I am suprised at the price though. Not that people won’t pay it but it’s still high for this size set.
Leave Mater and McQueen out and just sell Frank and the Tractors for $50.
They are just copying Mattel. Make a boxed set and sell it for MORE than the single carded Cars would be combined.
This is a nice set. Well except for crazy eyes Mater. Mattel should hire away whoever designs the Disney Store’s packaging.
The nice thing about Disney Store Mater is not only is he crafted of 100% milk chocolate, but his core is filled with Reese’s peanut butter. Yum!!
I have the Disney Store Frank – it is awesome… don’t have the rest of them… but I see this in my future… hopefully they’ll have a special with free shipping, because Frank is heavy… thank you for the great news.
Cool,but pass.
Pass…gimme Mattel.
Even if Mattel’s version would be quite smaller? Was there a big version of Frank by Mattel? Or just the small(er) deluxe version only?
(MET: The largest was the Deluxe version – you can follow the links at the end of the post for some comparison pics).
I have this Frank and the Tractors. But I will get this box set. This Frank is awesome. BobbyJack got this for his 3rd birthday almost 2 years ago. I have been careful with it, and luckily we haven’t broken it yet. Highly recommended if you never got a chance to get this the first time around.
I will definitely buy this in spite of Zombie Mater.
I am not sure what you mean by Zombie Mater? Another poster (5oclockshadow) called him “Crazy eyes Mater”. I have an original Mater that looks crazy because of the scale of his irises, but these pictures show him more normal.
I have not been collecting DS cars for long, so please pardon the ignorance. I am just wondering if I have missed something.
Most of the Disney Store bashes revolve around the soul less eyes.
I thought no Disney Store Cars for you…
Only Frank.
Do you have the first one?
