Re: Collectibles
Snow globes, beyond that it's just different stuff that we like and a few things not available to the general public!!

Still cool ~ I forget about mousesurplus until it comes up in conversation, then I'll remember to check it out. Most everything that I like is well outside my price range thoughfigmentaholic wrote:There is a company called Mouse Surplus. They have a website and are also on Ebay as well. They were selling it. I believe that it was when they were changing the carpet around the time Honey I Shrunk the Audience came in. I have had it for a couple of years now. I am not sure if they are even selling it any more, to be honest. I think it was from that theater, not (unfortunately) from the JII building.Amy wrote:How did you obtain your carpet?!figmentaholic wrote:Well, everything FIGMENT of course!! I have a piece of the carpet with the Imagination logo, and my hubby (man I love him) carried one of the BIg Figs (haha nice pun) from JII all the way out to his car in the parking lot because he couldn't wait for them to send it to the front of the park. (this was when we lived there and had year passes, he got it for Christmas, and it has a place of honor right as you come in my front door)

Ah, you mean like the $9999 Horizons vehicle? While it is awesome, that is a whole LOT of money.

Re: Collectibles
Considering it's not big retail, you may be able to negoitate down with stuff like that.

Re: Collectibles
Well, then there is the issue of local pickup, or really, really expensive shipping fees. Not to mention where to put it once I would get it home Oh well...Wizzard419 wrote:Considering it's not big retail, you may be able to negoitate down with stuff like that.

Re: Collectibles
I have not heard of this Mousesurplus. I will look into it though. I don't have the money for a Horizons vehicle. I think the snow globes are a collectible item though. My uncle has so many of them. He also collects telephones. I have never seen that many Disney telephones.

Re: Collectibles
Ah, yeah I am not a very good collector, I detest clutter. I'm not sure if they are considered collectables per-say but I'm sure Disney would prefer to have the original concept sketches back in their hands. I'm not even sure how they didn't notice they were gone in the first place.

Re: Collectibles
Right now they are just taking up the space on top of my dresser. I need to build a few shelves or buy a curio cabinet, but I haven't found the right manly one...mindflipper wrote:NaCler: how do you display your Vinylmations?

Maybe you need to commission Mouskedude to make you a vinylmation shaped shadowbox.NaCler wrote:Right now they are just taking up the space on top of my dresser.

I'm thinking Mousekedude and jacobcary1 would get along nicely! They might even swap shadow box tips...Sleepy90 wrote:Maybe you need to commission Mouskedude to make you a vinylmation shaped shadowbox.NaCler wrote:Right now they are just taking up the space on top of my dresser.

(Look out M-dude! Don't let Mouseoholic see this or you may have another project on your hands!!! )
We collect a little of everything, and if we had the resources (space and $$$) we would definitely have more! We'd be the crazy people who have their haous designed after the castle and every inch of the house would be Disney themed. Plus we'd have our own "museum" room...and we'd have that Horizons vehicle....ah to dream...
Oh, and currently my 3 VMs are watching over the computer...no special spot for them (and I'm not really collecting them either...just a few that I like).

Re: Collectibles
I had a chance to check out the site. I have come to the conclusion that I can't afford anything that they sell.
