I read the thread before viewing the link. I thought you were joking! ARRRRRGH!

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but rather than start a new one on the same subject, I thought I'd just add to this one.

For anyone who's interested, I've updated the Olszewski page with pictures of the Haunted Mansion piece and others, as well as information about and many changes in the upcoming release schedule.

Here's the link to the information from yesterday's release: http://www.colddeadfish.net/dlr/olsz...tml#february18.

And here's a link to the updated release schedule: http://www.colddeadfish.net/dlr/olsz....html#schedule.

Thanks!

Thanks for the report! I enjoy these pieces vicariously.

We were at DL on Saturday early afternoon and saw the table that the Main Street setup goes on sitting outside the Cinema. A few CMs were working on moving some other folded tables out from the Cinema. I don't know if they were using the Cinema as temporary storage or an alternate place to display the pieces during the rains.

He's there to sign on release days, and they usually have the signing in the back room of Disneyana, but this time, they had the signing inside the cinema. (They've done that with other signing events as well. Don't know if they'll be doing that from now on.) They also took the Haunted Mansion piece out of Disneyana and had it in there, all plugged in, for people to see. The signing tables may have been what you saw the CMs moving out.

Cool, that makes sense.

I've always said that if I could buy only one piece it would be the hub.

But eh, like iSm said, I see them all the time anyway.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I wasn't going to buy any of these miniatures, but... Peter Pan with interchangeable scenes? Well, at least it's in 2007 so I can start saving my pennies now.

I adore the pieces, but thankfully have no place to put them. It would set me back thousands to buy all the ones I desire.

Fortunately, having the pieces displayed at Disneyland makes them as accessible for me to admire as if they were in my own home. There's no need to buy (and have to constantly dust) that which I can see as often as I please ... and in the locale that the pieces are styled upon!! Can't be beat.

What a relief!

I like your way of thinking! What a great way to assess the practicality of viewing and admiring the Olszewski miniatures frequently (for those who are able to visit Disneyland often)!

A helpful Cast Member at Disneyana offered this helpful suggestion: Since all the pieces are cumulatively too expensive to buy for most people, then one could just buy the one, two or three "favorite" attractions/buildings. For me at least, the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean--both with interchanged scenes--and the Matterhorn and old Disneyland sign will be too cool to pass up. Then, just use your imagination to fill-in the rest of the park...

I aim to have all of them eventually, but it will take me a ong time. I just hope they stay available until I get around to it. I only have three buildings so far, and I adore them, but it may be a decade before I manage to collect 'em all. -sigh-
