Thread: Michaels and Lemax 2009

Tweet

Make sure you check out the painting on the Lon Chaney Jr Wolfman and Frankenstein figures, since some are done a lot better than the others.

I've used my coupons for the Wild Pumpkin ride and Heads Will Roll. I plan on getting the Funeral Photo as well, I love it! They gave me more 50% off coupons for next week with my receipts, so hopefully there will be a bit more out to look at. I have to be careful because I already have so many village pieces I love and I don't know where I'm going to put them all this year.

I don't collect Lemax Halloween but love looking at them. I don't know if was mentioned anywhere else in this post or forum but I noticed last night that KMART carries Lemax Halloween also. Currently showing 9 Spookie Towns on their website:

Forlorn Cemetary; Pet Costume Contest; Vampire Caverns; Carpooling (witches on broomstick); Wild Pumpkin Ride; The Bloody Mary; Black Castle; Witches Brew Haus; Dancing with the Mon-Stars.

I think my favorites of this group are the Wild Pumpkin Ride, The Bloody Mary (like it better than Michaels ship exclusive this year), and Dancing with the Mon-Stars.

Here's pics of what they have:

Shop for Halloween Decor in the For the Home department of Kmart.com

who has a tangled mess of cords when they set up their spooky town, or is it just me? Man, that thing is getting complicated. I gotta post pictures of my set this year. They don't photograph so well.

Just felt good to see some real Halloween stuff in a store.

I got the same bottle.... was in there checking out Spookytown... but nothing was displayed/plugged in...like to see how things work and if I can stand the soundtrack lol

iI purchased Oct-squeeze last year too. Not ever had a problem with mine.

Does the Heads Will Roll have any animation?

I concur. The pieces that I saw at Michaels looked pretty bad. They looked like they should be worth about .50. Disappointed. But I have the Wolfman light up piece from Dept.56 to display.

The Dept 56 Universal Monsters figures were done really well.

Our local Michaels has their Spookytown pieces out and a few other Halloween things. I have got to hold back on the pieces, or we will have to buy a new house to display them in! I have three folding tables that are each four feet long and we can hardly fit all the peices on them . I have decided that I'm going to focus more on witches in all my decor, and I really liked the new pieces "Witches Brewhaus" and "Carpooling". But the "Heads will roll" cracked me up soooo bad. It was really cute. The train was a little too cutesy for my taste, plus, where would I put it??? Maybe I'll get a new piece (or two) for my birthday....I'll have to show this thread to the hubby
