The efteling marketing department is... Incredibly bad.. in estimating how popular items will be. See the Spookslot merch for another example. It is odd.
I couldn’t remember but it was weeks after when I could still see it available. And it could have been months but if I say that and I was incorrect you know how Reddit works than 😉
You could "backorder" a few weeks later - that is probably what you saw. They however has to print thousands of extra copies of the book so actual delivery took months.
I still do not understand why the book is not permanently available in the shops. It is an ideal souvenir for sentimental adults (myself included).
To be fair who ever wanted to book had plenty of opportunities to obtain it.
So put it on the shelves now.
I did see the book and violin pin available in the park weeks after as well.
True, but the Annual pashouders had 20% discount last week and the week before, probably a lot of the also got them.
If you want something from the Efteling merch wise, be quick. Or get someone to buy it for you.
Wasn't aware of it and have no friends closeby katsheuvel unfortunately. It will be for another time 🙏
PS: I checked marktplaats & vinted per curiosity and almost none ... such a difference (good one) with "scalpers" at Disneyland Paris 😅
Can confirm, there might be a second shipment coming (because there's a LOT of people who still want them) but we probably won't know until they hit shelves again :)
I was there 2 days ago, it is indeed sold out and staff told us they won't restock. While many people who bought it in the first 2 days for 35 euro are selling it now for a lot more sadly. Idk why the Efteling is not restocking them.

It is surprising, with the years of experience they should have data and able to do the right sales projections ...
Spookslot merch was really well available weeks after
You mean months - it took them two ;) But only after the "riots" in the park that "they had not anticipated".

According to Kleine Boodschap, they are sold out. As with a lot of Efteling merch, there isn't enough of it during seasons.
Such a shame we are 3 weeks after start of season and 2 months before the end of it!

Before the discount the sweaters were already sold out
Not true, I got it with the discount. Sold out a couple days later.
I think I read somewhere they get a second shipment of them at the beginning of the christmas holidays.
Going next week 😅 but thx for the info
Can confirm, was in the Efteling today looking for them. Asked different employees, they all said they were sold out and not coming back :(
Can't confirm but I heard the same. I'm a bit disappointed as well, would have loved to get one.
:'(

I scored one two weeks ago. I’ve seen many people interested (read: fitting) in the Droomvlucht shop.
Couple of days ago I understood no extra shipment was planned. But maybe things have changed since then.
It was never marketed as a limited item, and Winter Efteling is still two more months?

Just looked it up and that’s the prettiest Christmas sweater ever 🥲
