I was wondering if was possible for an person who doesn't live near a Disneyland or a Disney store (my country does not have either) to purchase a magic band.
The answer was surprising:

You can buy one directly from the disney store.
But apparently not if you live in another country!
That seems shortsighted to me, as someone travelling to America might like to have the band with them before they get there.
Or you could have people like me who are willing to buy one just for the sake of Disney Infinity unlocks.
And yes, I am aware that the members of this site are willing to provide an unlock service, but I'm not certain I want to bug them everytime they attach a new unlock to this band.
