Aww Whichypoo don't be hard on yourself . Sadly I only know this from experience searching for some Dept. 56 halloween items that I wanted really badly one year. I always try searching online first but sometimes it doesn't get you where you want to be. Out of frustration I hit the old phone book and did find a few shops under those categories that I mentioned above that got me to one or two stores that had the item I wanted. It's so low tech but it did save me driving up and down the peninsula looking through shops. I would still try seeing first if Lemax's customer service can point you to the shops they send merchandise to. Sometimes manufacturers will give out this info to the end user and sometimes not. Sometimes they will refer you to a regional rep who handles the individual shop accounts. Obviously someone one in the company knows what was ordered and who ordered it. I can be very persistent

Thanks Whichypoo, it is a sad thing though. It is so hard to collect the neat pieces that come out each year and to want to collect other things too. I sooo have the need to collect some of the neat larger props, adding to my collection of vampyre wines/vodkas, wanting to add to my (little) collection of vaseline glass, plus the never ending collection of books and dvds. What is a girl to do? There is just never enough money....
You know what is really crazy is, that most people think that we are totally insane for being obsessed with this holiday.

I have the Grimsley Manor

Well Ghost of spooky I will take your advise and I will make calls.. even to lemax *S*

Obsessed never never just doesn't happen, nope there is no obsession here its just part of our lives and without it would be like no water.. now would you call that obsessed

in 2008 I bought the Bloody Mary Ship for only $20.00 and it was during mid october.

for 2009 I got Dry County Gulch Jail, Flaming Skulls, Heads Will Roll, The Mortuary, and a bunch of other stuff. This year I hope to get alot more and make a cool display at my haunt.

...and how do we get some of our own?

Actually, I've been salivating over some of the dragon chairs and tables of Toscano catalogs, but I'm always interested in other beautiful pieces that I know (with much sadness) I can't afford.

Dragon furniture.. we love Toscano... and have many of the dragon pieces .. but it started at spencers when I picked up the dragon heads with the globe lights. towel holders, magazine holder.. also there used to be a place at a perment swap meet that carried many of the dragon pieces.. they were cheaper and no shipping. I have many of the black dragon wall art from spencers also.. love every piece I own ..
