I was browsing the always interesting Department 56 group on Yahoo!, and read about a collector who uses Lego pieces within his villages. He wrote: "I just went to our "New Target Superstore", and found the 50th Anniversay Edition of the Lego Original Set. It is $39.99, well worth it. If you have the Lego North Pole building, it is a great addition to it for collectors. It has all the 1958,1968,1978 and other covers on the box. It really adds a lot to the D56 buildings and accessories. Check it out." That got me thinking of which Lego pieces and sets could be integrated within other villages. I did some more digging on Google. Here's what I found: Several lego holiday pieces on Ebay Here's the Lego 50th anniversary set (some readers and email software will not display the javascript properly.

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. There goes my November 19 date...bad memory, I guess... 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.
