Never miss a drop again! With Auto-Pay, you can join the waitlist up to 12 hours before a drop and let VeVe handle the rest.
What is Auto-Pay?
Auto-Pay lets you automatically purchase a collectible if you're selected from the waitlist—even if you're away when it closes! Read more info on Auto-Pay HERE.
More info HERE.
Waitlist will open 30 minutes before drop time. If you enter the Waitlist and are lucky enough to secure a reservation, you will have 7 minutes to complete the purchase process. If you do not complete the purchase, your collectible reservation will be returned to the public pool and be available for users to purchase directly from the VeVe Store. More info on Waitlist Drops HERE.
This digital comic will be available for purchase as a blind box, meaning you won’t know which rarity you have acquired until after your successful purchase.
Upon entering the drop Waitlist, Collectors can opt to redeem Master Collector Program Points to bid on priority Waitlist selection for a collectible reservation. After a bid is placed, Collectors can increase their bid, and/or withdraw their bid up until the Waitlist closes.
At drop time, the highest bidders will be awarded a collectible reservation for the opportunity to complete their purchase using Gems at the Store price. At this point users' MCP Points are deducted from their MCP points balance. If users decide not to make a purchase, their MCP Points WILL NOT be refunded.
If a Collector is NOT successful in securing a collectible reservation using Priority Bidding, their MCP Points WILL NOT be deducted. These Collectors are considered in the Waitlist entry pool and still have a chance to win the drop via normal Waitlist selection logic.
Note: Collectors will only be able to secure a single purchase per successful reservation. Additional collectibles can be purchased after the reservation period ends, if inventory is available.
Important Note on Comic Delivery
During high traffic periods, such as a drop, the digital comic rarity will be known to you only after delivery to your collection, which may take 30–120 minutes.
Secondary Market Fees
A 6% licensor fee will be applied to Disney sales in the secondary market in addition to the existing VeVe 2.5% secondary market fee.
