Disney train merchandise

[Steve DeGaetano]

Builder's plate replicas. Fort Wildnerness engines in both live-steam and electric. Lilly Belle models in HO and large scale. Collectible pins. Prints and posters. Books, even!

It really is amazing how much fan-based Disney train collectibles are out there. It seems Disney has really dropped the ball in terms of what it could have produced and sold on its own.

But I am definitely thankful that people such as Michael Campbell and Bill Colley have stepped into the vacuum to create some really meorable and beautiful pieces.

Boscovs has a sale on the HO Carolwood Pacific sets. It's a buy more, save more deal. Basically it's $79.99/set, plus $19 shipping, for whatever number you buy. If you buy one, there's an additional $8 discount, $24 off for two, and $16 a piece for three or more.

That works out to one set, $91 delivered; two sets, $155; three sets, $211. Sale ends today, 11/6.

Missed this before: Boscov's may charge more for shipping multiples of these large items. But they inform you ahead of time, so you can cancel your order with no penalty.

"Tarjay" also has the Carolwood sets—$99 and free shipping.

I have to agree. It really surprises me that marketing would miss this opportunity to sell much wanted Steam Train memorabilia! I would love to see shirts like the ones made for the Marsh, for every locomotive! You could actually create a whole store dedicated to the DRR! And I think sales would be brisk!

[Roy]

That's a good idea. Good enough to motivate me to go to the park, anyway!

Disneyland will have a major train merchandise event later this year. I will share details of what and when as soon as I can.

(Note to those of you who are about to type a response like, "How much will the (fill-in-the-blank) sell for?" and, "I called Disneyland DelivEars and they don't know anything about this.": I will share details of what and when as soon as I can. I was asked by Disneyland to let you know that there will be a major train merchandise event, but the details are not yet final and we all appreciate your patience. )

[Steve]

Looking forward to hearing the details! I do hope they are keeping us not-quite-so-big-spenders in mind, too.

[CP173]

Ah, that is a question I can answer. There's a wide variety of items being considered. Something for every budget.

[Steve DeGaetano]

But Michael, don't you have any details???

(Sorry. Couldn't help myself).
