Collectibles Today: an online megastore of Department 56 products and more

Collectibles Today has been in business since 1973. They guarantee their collectible products for 365 days. Founded in 1973 by J. Roderick MacArthur was instrumental in defining the present day collectibles market. Headquarters is in Niles, Illinois.

We've purchased some Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer ornaments and Thomas Kinkade
ornaments from Collectibles Today. Shipments are always on time, billing is always correct, and there were no customer service issues. Can't really ask for much more. Granted, you don't get the personalized and friendly service you would get from a local independent christmas or holiday collectible shop, but for quick deadline shopping, you can't argue with the convenience.

Find Department 56 Halloween sales well, today! LOL
