D56 spottings in stores

Sears: multiple collectors have spotted pre-lit trees already up in their local Sears stores. One person has said the new Ralphie with broken glasses accessory from A Christmas Story is available now for $ 9.99. Others have said the "A Christmas Story" stuff went on sale September 16 last year.

Target: all of their Halloween merchandise is out, and some of their Christmas stuff is starting to trickle out, like Ornaments. One collector found many of the M&M ornaments.

Home Goods: They have a few Department 56 items on sale. "The Toy Shop" and "Town Church" accents were $16 each.
