Mini Grails

[Wee67]

Do you have anything you want that's not expensive or in great demand but, for some reason, is just super hard to find?

About 14 years ago, I across this Two Guys frisbee and passed it up. My passion for premiums from the defunct department store hadn't really kicked in, but I've always regretted it. I continued to search for years when suddenly, there it was again.

So happy to have this cheap elusive little bugger in collection.

A Jeremy the Bear (aka Colargol) baby bib, My childhood jolly Jumper (I'd know it to see it), and some assorted Halloween & Xmas decorations (I have pics to go by).

Theres this old Christmas santa decoration that I've been trying to identify and reaquire for years. Santa is battery operated and he's holding a candle that lights up as he plays 4 or 5 different Christmas tunes. I have no idea what he was but he was my favorite decoration for 2 decades. Hes long since gone. Hopefully someday I'll figure out what he was. [IMG][/IMG]

Awsome detective work Bocasean!

Now I just gotta hope no one wants vintage holiday decorations this time of year as I save up for it. LOL.
I'm very happy to know what it was at least.

Sweet!

I believe my dad just got it for me. I was talking about it with him this morning but he hasnt answered my email yet

As a kid I use to turn it on everyday during december and let the songs cycle thru at least once. I'm going to be taking extra care of it (assuming its now mine.)

^Well, if you do get it, be sure to post some pics. I love stuff like this.

Cindy has lucked into several Christmas decoration grails. Lots of chintzly blow-molded hanging Santas. I myself found a Santa and sled with white reindeer my mom had. She let me play with it, and that explains why it didn't survive. I stumbled on a pristine copy at an antique mall a few years back. I was ecstatic.

Most likely I'll do a youtube video with the songs playing thru a few times.

Can anyone make out what I got that year? Other than the Blackstar knight and attack trak, I think I see Transformers Thundercracker and the Super Go-bot Baron von joy. Theres a figure in front of the boxes I cant make out.

Finally got a video uploaded to youtube of my santa:

That's GREAT, man! I'm glad it's back home!

[Figuremod73]

Thanks for finding it! I had no idea who made it. The original watched over many Christmas mornings and I always missed just sitting and watching it play thru a few times.

Now I'm wanting some of the Go-bots from that picture, LOL.
