Yes, it's a graveyard of sorts. But I was just astounded that someone had the clout and money to collect all this stuff that I just assumed Disney destroyed lest anyone get their hands on it. The owner of all this stuff was well-connected (he was a talent agent with some big Disney talent on his roster), but it still amazes me he was able to amass all this stuff from Disney, of all companies.
The sad part to me is that this amazing collection is going to be split into a thousand separate pieces. And though now a thousand people will enjoy a small part of it rather than a handful of people enjoying the totality of it ... I feel the collection is far greater than just the sum of its parts.
It was certainly something amazing to behold ... and if I had a place to put a Skyway cab or that Main Street miniature, I just might have put in some bids.
