Thread: Michaels and Lemax 2009

Tweet

I've been dealing with Ehobby tools for about two years now to get the Spookytown pieces that I can't get at Michaels or score cheap on Ebay.....and I have to say that,in my opinion,as far as price and customer service goes,they're the best source of Spookytown on the internetI really looked and looked on the internet when I realized that Michaels wasn't going to carry every piece that Lemax makes a couple of years ago....and Ehobby tools was the place I came up with.When you call them on the phone,they are VERY helpful.....so as far as asking them to check the piece before they send it,I'm sure they would.Actually,I would'nt be surprised if they did that already.And no......I don't work for Ehooby tools!!!LOL!!!Just another Spookytown freak here.OH,and if you spend more than 80 bucks......shipping is free.Just got an order from them the other day.....just had to have that Diner!!!!!

Is that a good site to order from? Is there someone there that can check to see if the item I would be ordering is in good working order before I order?

Yes, they are a wonderful place to deal with and many members have dealt with them over the years. They are helpful and answer any questions that you have and have had safe shipping.

There are also a few other great people to deal with too. We have listed the online links to their websites on the Dedicated To Lemax Site in the section titled Train Station and then in the important topics section => Pinned: US Lemax Retailers.

We also have links in the Train Station for Lemax dealers in the UK, Germany, Canada, Netherlands, and Australia too.

I have purchased a lot of Halloween villages every year from Joe at Lemax-SpookyTown.Com and I have purchased other villages from Carol at Lemax Village Collectibles

There are also a lot of retail companies that carry the Lemax Spookytown like Michaels, Garden Ridge, Menards, American Sales, Fleet Farm, etc. I especially like the Michaels 50% off coupons, I just wish that would carry a larger selection.

But all of them are really great to deal with.

Hope this helps !

Thanks Preston and Mariab for the info.
I really wanted that Diner too and Michaels didn't carry it this year.

Me too. Just a note the Michaels Morbid Manor soundtrack talks about the Graveside Diner.

I'm hoping that Menards or Fleet Farm will be carrying it around here.

Just sent you an email Tumblindice. Welcome !!

I was Michaels today and got good and bad news:

Good - their Halloween truck will be there on Monday and all the stuff out on the shelves by Tuesday.

Bad= this is going to be their ONLY Halloween shipment, and, no coupon this week

Oooo, you found out more info than me, I was just about to post that both of my Michaels is getting their shipment Monday. Didnt know about the no coupon this weekend thing but will go over to DedicatedToLemax for the coupons he mentioned there. Dunno if this will be our only shipment but Im not taking any chances, their sales around here dont get any better than 50% anyway, and at %30 it seems they fly off the shelves way in advance of October.

The Michaels store manager did confirm that they will only be getting in one shipment of both the Halloween and the Christmas items and they will not be getting restocked, so once it is gone there won't be anymore.

The Lemax Spookytown is really going fast at the stores around me. They are selling a lot better this year primarily due to the 50% off coupons.
