I saw this on eBay this morning. I do not know the seller (does not take returns and I do not know if the seller would allow pick up.

That item would be horrendous to try and ship, it’s very fragile and very heavy, not a fun combination. Mine arrived broken (shattered in some places) from Grandin Road and that was with lots of packaging.
 
Anyone heard about the sneak peek? Last year they unveiled it on June 19. I saw one response on their Facebook to someone asking about when they would share the Halloween Haven sneak peek and they got a generic "we're excited too."
I didn't get a whole lot last year, just the snail figurine to go with my garden scene, but I would to see their lineup. I think this is the only store I haven't seen except the full line from Target and Walmart, and that will be a lot later than other stores.

I have not seen anything about Grandin Road’s sneak peek. However, I had an Halloween item that I had ordered a couple of months ago just shipped today. Maybe that means some movement with their Halloween items
 
I haven’t gotten anything from them in a couple years. I tried placing an order two years in a row and had my items cancelled. Last year I think it was owls wearing witch hats, a set of metallic pumpkins, and a framed picture of an owl wearing a witch hat. I wanted all of it for a design, but they canceled 2 of the 3 items. I ended up canceling the owl picture. The year before that was some death moth ornaments for my Halloween tree.

You use to buy a lot from them I hate they have went so down the Halloween retail ranks they use to be the bomb.
 
The GR website now has some additional items available like the eyeball snails and the peeking mushrooms and a few tombstones, but so far still nothing completely new for this season. I hope they have something soon!
I imagine it is coming soon. 🤞This morning they had four pages. Now there’s seven pages of Halloween. I’m hoping they finally get those owls with witch hats in stock from last year.

Those were cute, hopefully they’ll be back. I am anxiously awaiting the next bewitching figure as well, I have a $25 birthday coupon burning a hole in my pocket and hoping I get some of those $50 certificates again too.
 
I saw this today on Facebook where someone asked about Halloween Haven. It's doesn't sound like they are excited about the release: "sadly we currently do not have any details around the release of our 2025 Halloween Haven sneak peek at this time, but we recommend signing up for our promotional emails and keeping an eye on our socials as more details are released."

Yesterday I received my Enter If You Dare pillar from Grandin Road. They currently have it listed on their website for an incredible $479. At one point they did have it on sale and I used two $50 promotional coupons to get this and it allowed me free shipping as well so I paid, including tax $129.52. I love that Grandin Road honored my bargain price and did not cancel the item on me. I also have the Lowe’s copycat pillar and although it’s not as detailed this, the Grandin Road pillar is definitely not worth $479. It is more detailed and I did not realize it from the catalog photos, but it has some brown accent paint to make it look old. Also, it does not match the Lowe’s pillar because of the size, it’s a little bit smaller. Grandin Road pretty much raised the price of every big item by $50 minimum. I have a feeling Grandin Road is going to be putting a lot of things on sale at the end of the season.

It’s a great piece, I bought it during an end of season sale about two years ago and it’s very heavy and substantial. Grandin Road has always had excellent customer service for me (and almost everything I’ve ordered has been great quality) so it’s not surprising they would honor the original sales price and not cancel your cheaper order. I like some of Lowe’s holiday products as well but their customer service is really lacking and they’ve misrepresented selling used items (animatronic store displays) as new and wouldn’t allow a return so I’m much pickier about what I purchase from them.

I noticed GR raised a lot of prices this year too, not sure how much of that is tariffs vs raising prices for other reasons but it’s not surprising although I’m curious to see how the sales do throughout the season. The little witches I collect all went up about $20 a piece and I noticed that the set of peeking mushrooms went up $20 as well. It sounds like the new items are delayed unfortunately so I’m still hoping we see those soon.

Definitely. The time to buy that and the arch/gateway were late last year and early this year. I was tempted to buy a second one but Ikve decided to curb my Halloween spending this year. Looks like GR will make that easier in 2025.
I agree with you, with those prices Grandin Road is doing us a solid and making it hard to justify purchasing certain items.
 
I finally found one of my Grandin Road unicorns. I don’t remember what year this originally came out, but at that time, I could only afford to get one of the two cauldrons with feet GR was selling. I started looking for this cauldron again in 2019. Well, six years later, she’s finally been found and is joining her taller sister cauldron. Here she is in all her glory.
