I couldn't find another thread that these pictures would fit in...so I am putting them here.
I was a Hobby Lobby this past weekend and walked past these two jewels...and immediately thought of Soarin'.

Re: UK Pavilion Phone Booths
Aren't they cool?
I wonder what the shipping would be for something like that?

If you bought them, it would be an excuse to take a WDW trip.theBIGyowski wrote:Aren't they cool?

I can't believe there is no Hobby Lobby in Orlando. I thought they were all over the place.
(these were in the 50+% off clearance area...so they may not be in every Hobby Lobby)

Re: UK Pavilion Phone Booths
Those are pretty neat! And 50% off probably makes them almost affordable. I can't believe there aren't any Hobby Lobby stores down there either...You might check online Soarin'theBIGyowski wrote:I'll add that to my list of 1,000+ reasons to go to WDWcy1229 wrote:If you bought them, it would be an excuse to take a WDW trip.theBIGyowski wrote:Aren't they cool?

Ocala is the closest I am aware of. We have JoAnn's around here instead.theBIGyowski wrote:I'll add that to my list of 1,000+ reasons to go to WDWcy1229 wrote:If you bought them, it would be an excuse to take a WDW trip.theBIGyowski wrote:Aren't they cool?

Re: UK Pavilion Phone Booths
I think you best buy one of those.
If you want the real deal they start at around £2200 ($3285) without phone.
Fully refurbished, as new, with phone £4800 ($7168).
And then there is the shipping costs!
I could come back over to WDW for that price - still saving

Oh dear, elizabethswann..... I hope you do realise that the Tardis isn't a telephone box, its a police box, which is a whole other thing! However, there are places you can buy a Tardis tooelizabethswann wrote:I'd kill for one then the Doctor Who nerd in me would paint it blue.
