Dublin's Disney Store customers are 'Frozen' to two toys

Characters from the film ‘Frozen’ are proving to be pretty popular…

THE DISNEY STORE in Dublin has had to take action against the demand for characters from one of the brand’s most famous franchises.

In the build-up to Christmas, Frozen’s Anna and Elsa dolls are proving so popular that the store will be limiting customers to two of each character from the film.

A representative from the store explained to TheJournal.ie that “guests can only purchase two or less of the same item from Frozen. You could buy two Elsas and two Annas if you wished.”

It is understood that a similar policy is being adopted at some Disney Stores in the United States.

Since being released in November last year the film has proven to be extremely popular. Back in April, a set of limited edition Frozen dolls were being sold on Ebay for $8,000 (€6,410).

If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, here’s a sing-a-long version of ‘Let It Go’ – a song you’re probably be all too familiar with if you have children under 10.

    Same every year for as long as I can remember.!

    The shops have a real good idea of what is going to be the popular toy in any given year. But they always run out. Then you have the poor frantic parents running around everywhere so that Santa will not let the kids down.

    Now there is no one on planet earth (except Bill above) who would not know that this was the year of all things Frozen. What is wrong with them!

    Love Frozen Brilliant movie and brilliant music.

    I can tell you that everone with a brain knew that every little girl would want their Anna and Elsa dolls for Christmas, and so Disney ought to have seen this coming, and had enough stock. Or even make more now. God knows they charge enough.

    And Sean, how on Earth is the first week of November the last second? There’s still two months left before Christmas, and they’re already running out of stock. That makes the company the idiots, not the customers.

    This does not make them idiots. Just the opposite. Better to sell out than to be left with stock.
