2 new pieces for "A Christmas Story"

d56 a christmas story optometryThere are two new buildings for Sears' Exclusive "A Christmas Story" line, confirmed from two different sources, the Yahoo! Department 56 Collectors Group, who were answered directly by Department 56 corporate, and the flickstongue.com, a news site for "A Christmas Story" information and discussions.

The two new pieces are:

"Schultz Optometry" item number 56.06283
"The Uptown Theater" Item number 56.06284

The new accessory is Ralphie with his broken glasses.

There is no confirmation yet on a release date to Sears but last year I think the "A Christmas Story" pieces came out on November 12.

Now I can't remember the Optometry or the Uptown Theater from the movie, but that doesn't mean I won't snag them right away!

But for Lorraine, president of the Tri-County Department 56 Collector’s Club, the displays are nothing out of the ordinary, considering many of the club members have similar displays in their own homes. “Everybody has different ways of displaying it,” Lorraine said of the Department 56 collectibles. “You find different things. When somebody comes up with a unique idea, you try and share it. It’s always nice to see somebody do something different.” ... click here to read the rest of the article

Rest in Peace, Stan

A dark cloud formed over Manhattan yesterday, and just as suddenly, a bright light shine through the clouds as the sky was ripped from the inside out by thousands of legendary heroes, assembling to pay homage to their Creator and his aged typewriter. As each keystroke landed with a thud, the letters screamed out as loudly as they could, "Excelsior!”, one last time. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/stan-lee-photos-marvel-comics_us_5be9e7d9e4b044bbb1a77969
