Does anyone have an idea why they are completely rebuilding the speaker rock in a redesigned style?

No, but it is pissing me off because of the palette/rockwork design.
Orlando Informer just posted on his Facebook that Olivander's has nearly a 2 hour wait. Holy crazy crowds Batman
I don't believe that to be the finished "skin" of the rock, but only a scratch coat (notice the ridges of the trowel). I also believe that what is being painted on in that picture is a bonding agent for final sculpting.
Bob?
Bonding agent is usually clear or white. I saw then finishing the "rock" and they were taking a lot of care like it was a finish coat.
I have to agree that it does not look all that great.
^ hmmm... the concrete looks like a scratch coat to me; if not... super fail. Let's wait and see.

Could be by them but that cuts into profit margins when buying from a third party. No info just speaking out loud.
Yeah I don't know either really. I was just going off the fact that they carry all the same pieces. I suppose both Museum Replicas and Universal could be getting them from the same place.
But then again, isn't Noble Collection selling a bunch of stuff there at WWoHP?

Not sure, I thought Universal was buying directly from the manufacturer and this if I'm not mistaken would involve a middleman (museum replicas) and that costs money. Anyone know who their vendors are directly? Better yet any buyers in the crowd? Would love to know and open to PM's if not comfortable.
I've bought the same wand from both WWoHP and Noble and aside from the box, they're identical. I also know that the house sweaters they have for sale are direct from Lochaven of Scotland. Seems they sell (or resell) lots of outside goodies.
Now if we can just figure out where that dang pumpkin juice comes from....
Is the pumpkin juice a Universal exclusive?
Because I know it is bottled, so I didn't know if it was bottled on-site or bought from a manufacturer.
Beats me, but if I could have the stuff trucked directly to my house, I would.
You can buy it that way and have it shipped to you through the Universal Orlando online store.
