Walt Disney Classics Collection

[jlprjlpr]

Hey there! I think it was me you talked to in the Yahoo Olszewski group forum! Was it the Canadian bookstore you were ordering your magazines from? I am pretty sure we did converse as Deagostini Disneyland collectors are rarer than hen's teeth! The last time we talked I was getting ready to head out to Tokyo to visit the parks. Have you stayed at the new Tokyo Disneyland Hotel? Very pricey and beautiful, but I think I prefer the Mira Costa and Ambassador better (more intimate and less intimidating)...

Hey, yes, the Canadian bookstore is where I got the back issues. So it was probably you that recommended them. Thanks again! I currently get the new ones as part of my weekly subscription with fujisan.com. How are you getting yours currently? What issue are you up to?

When I was at Tokyo Disneyland last, the new hotel was almost finished but not yet. I am hoping to go back next year and see the new Monsters Inc. ride. Did you see that?

Cool! That base is incredible! What are you going to do when Olszewski issues the Fantasyland platform? I may have to move into the garage to make room in the house...LOL!

I currently am also doing the Disney World Main Street and have space for Fantasyland as well, but after that, if he makes another land, I'll have run out of space

Thanks for the pic jlp. Its such an awesome looking set. I don't think I'd be able to find room for it though. Were those your WDCC pieces in the back?

The Monsters Inc. ride was not yet open. I am sure you will have a blast on it.

I am getting my issues from Nippon Export which is about the same price as purchasing it from Fujisan. I am up to issue #80 and am getting ready to place an order for issues #81-90. I was so stoked when I saw they did the Primeval World from the train ride. And the Splash Mountain portion looks good too! Going to be happy (money wise) and sad (nothing to look forward to) when the series comes to an end!

Yes, to the left of the Main Street are some of the WDCC shelves.

 

[Agent0028]

That is a massive collection.

 

[Aerosmith]

Great collection. Id hate to have to dust those.

 

[Darth Waller]

Damn, I'm jealous.

don't even want to think about dusting...

 

[Agent0028]

Dusting is the bane of collecting. I can't wait to get new shelves with doors.

Here is a photo of my Olszewski Main Street. It measures 6 feet by 3 feet. I have it on top of a table.

JL, you absolutely have to post pics of our entire collection, it looks amazing!

JL is the man when it comes to WDCC.

I have been to his collection loft and it is an amazing experience for any collector regardless if you like WDCC or not.

Hey Jose, you have to come visit again. You haven't seen the new loft for the Star Wars/Star Trek/LOTR/Harry Potter, etc.

When I got the new loft I started getting interested in Sideshow and Bowen. Up to that time all I had from Sideshow was some of the 12inch Star Wars stuff but now I've gotten into their Polystone LOTR, SW and Marvel.

I'll take you up on that now that I have more free time in the summer.

I'll be in touch.

Oh man...that Disneyland Mainstreet is fantastic!

I want that Mainstreet Train Station & Steam Engine. If anyone can give me some info on where to find one I'd really appreciate it.

My Father worked for Disneyland in Anaheim, CA and was the Engineer on the Train.

That sounds like such a great honor, I always wanted to ride with the conductor but always forget to ask when I'm at the park.

That is very cool that your dad worked on the trains, wow! I wonder if he met or saw Walt Disney. Disney loved the trains. You can order the Main Street Train Station by calling Disneyland Delivears at 800.362.4533
The only train that has been released for Main Street so far is the E.P. Ripley Train but it is sold out. Sometimes you see one on ebay but they usually go for alot.

Thanks for the number, Jlprjlpr!

My Father worked for Disney for 10 years, he never met Walt Disney but did meet Michael Eisner & the very first person to wear the Mickey Mouse costume back in 1955.
