stop clamoring for it, and the prices will drop.

The same could be said for say....a limited edition tiki mug, or perhaps a weekend tiki gathering? Many fans of all that is Disney are the same as any social "clique" (Such as say...TC?) as they want to have the cool stuff. Also, if we are to bash Disney for their "Corporate Greed", should we not also condemn the artists who provide the items? One could say Disney is helping support their endeavors..... no? I for one support ALL the high prices, as my Disney stock is up over 40% in the last year! :P

aquaorama, Respectfully none of these events you mention above, charge you $85 just to get in the door
for a random chance to buy those collectibles (plus an additional $185 to hang out and have cocktails with Shag)
as a matter of fact it is free to shop at "Tiki Oasis","Tiki Caliente" in the daytime (not counting parking) as is with most mug releases etc.

At the very least Disney can do is include a visit to the park, I say this is a big cash grab.
