As I near retirement (5 months, but who's counting?) and then a home move/downsizing probably within a couple of years after that, have started the process of trying to reduce the amount of "stuff" that I have.
To that end, I have picked out some of our Disney Department 56 village pieces that I will be eliminating from our collection.
I hate to give something like that to Goodwill or similar, so thought I would check and see if anyone on here is interested. The pieces I have: Pluto's Pet Shop Claimed Mickey's Christmas Castle Claimed Minnie's Diner Claimed Donald's FireHouse Claimed 3 assorted figurines Claimed
I also have a bunch of Department 56 pieces from "The Simpsons" collection. Claimed
Other assorted Disney decorations: A Merry Christmas Figurine - hard to describe, but like a book with figures in front - Disney characters caroling under a street lamp Claimed A Micky Santa/Pluto Reindeer swinging piece (has a stand, the figures sit on it and can swing a bit - really hard to describe!) Claimed 3 of the Fab 50 Gold character ornaments
I'm not looking to make money on these - just find them a good home. If anyone is interested in them, I would be happy to ship them. (Note that the Simpsons and the Merry Christmas Caroling piece have original boxes, but none of the others do).
If you'd like to see pictures, send me a PM and I'll see if I can figure out how to get them to you.

I saw the words "Dept 56" and I was a little surprised, you don't expect to see that word in your daily life. But I am very familiar with the houses. My first job, I spent a few years working at a place downtown called "The Christmas Shoppe" and the bulk of the business was Department 56, mostly the houses. My mom was collecting the "Dickens" series and has at least 50 of them out year round.

Just a quick update: The disney Dept 56 pieces, and Merry Christmas Figurine are spoken for.
No one has claimed the Simpson's yet (I get it - not my favorite, but my son LOVED that show and wanted them, so we got those on a trip to Universal!) or the Fab 50 ornaments, or the swinging stand piece.
