It's still not "Wow I gotta have that" but if it goes on sale, I'd probably buy it.

Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech post 31 was supposed to clarify that post 30 was supposed to be a question, but I forgot to explain. So now I have 3 posts to say what should have been said in one.
Originally Posted By myeticket haha SIR..funny But actually I am a bit more impressed with the House of the Future model. I think it will look even more impressive up close. I think I'll buy it. I'm afraid to wait until any of the new merchandise goes on sale, because I'm afraid that I'll miss my opportunity to buy it! Especially the Omnibus, the Plaque, the Haunted Mansion pin set and the Dumbo big fig.
Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech I know it's been said otherwise, but there's a good chance the Dumbo Big Fig will wind up at DL, since they've carried all of the other Big Figs in this line.
Originally Posted By myeticket You think so? The only big fig (at the park series) that I've seen at Disneyland is Mickey at the park. I've never seen any of the other ones..especially the coveted 'Goofy at the park'
Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech Seems like they had Goofy at the park. And actually I was thinking more of the Big Al, the Auctioneer, and the hatbox Ghost, but you're right, there is that subset that is the characters at the park. I was just thinking of the 50th Big Figs as a whole. Company D had one of the Big Figs (donald I think) on clearance, though I never remember seeing it at Disneyana.
Originally Posted By DisLee >>Is anyone else a bit more impressed with the HOuse of the future model now that it has stairs and a few other details?<< The house definitely looks nice in that shot - but the one they had at the NFFC show didn't look quite as sexy. I think the catalog picture has benefited from some Photoshop enhancing. But I still think it's "ok" looking and will probably get one anyway. Maybe if I can get another one cheap later on I will attempt some surgery to add a pseudo-interior... Anyone have any idea what the Eyvind Earle tapestry might be? I know he did several Disneyland castle interior paintings and also castle exterior paintings for the Sleeping Beauty movie but I don't recall any Disneyland castle exteriors he did. Maybe the tapestry will be an interior instead of an exterior? Anyhow, $199 is plenty steep. And I know I will be probably committing blasphemy for some of the big Tiki fans out there but is that Tiki Drummer absolutely ugly beyond ugly? Tiki die-hards aside, I'm not sure too many people would be proud to have that guy sitting in the middle of their living room.

Originally Posted By cstephens The only thing I'm really interested in is the entrance plaque. We got the dedication plaque for a friend as a birthday gift, so we may get that one as a matching gift for next year, and we may get one for ourselves as well. /cs
