Disney Store Elite Series Darth Maul Lottery
Reader Jedi Jaden writes in with some interesting details regarding the Monday, September 28 launch of the Disney Store Exclusive Elite Series Darth Maul Die Cast figure.
I just confirmed with two Disney Stores, that Monday’s release of the Star Wars Elite Series Darth Maul, will be using a lottery system.
Between 12-1pm (Est. Time Zone), lottery slips will be given to people in attendance. Those who’s lottery number are picked will be able to purchase the figure later in the day.
Given that a majority of people do work for a living, it’s astonishing to me, that the think tank that is Disney, would not stagger the lottery times amidst it’s stores so that people who do have to work, would have a shot at getting a figure as well.
