Mr. Toad’s Popcorn Bucket sees Price Gouging on eBay
The new popcorn bucket inspired by Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride was available to purchase today at the Magic Kingdom. Due to the heavily anticipated popularity, guests had to enter a virtual queue in order to buy one.
And unfortunately, it didn’t take long before the Mr. Toad popcorn bucket ended up on eBay with huge markups. Within hours we saw prices go as high as $500 for the popcorn bucket that you can purchase in person for $39.99 at the Magic Kingdom.
Mr. Toad’s Popcorn bucket is definitely one of our favorite releases thus far! The popcorn buckets are replicas of the ride car from the Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride attraction that closed its doors at Walt Disney World in 1998.
Although I would not suggest storing loose popcorn in the storage compartment of the popcorn bucket. This is more of a decorative piece than functional snack container.
Cast Members were even handing out sealed popcorn bags with red, blue and yellow popcorn with the purchase.
I know collectors who can’t make it to the theme parks will try to get their hands on one, but how much would you dish out for a collectible popcorn bucket?
