Another thing to note is that Walt Disney Classics Collectors (WDCC) Society, whom Tony was very familiar with in the past, announced a few months ago that they were DISCONTINUING until further notice their Collectors Society starting with 2010. No explanation.

The Bronze Lady of Orlando appears to do quite a business in WDCC in addition to their HL's. They noted that Enesco, who bought WDCC, tried blowing out about 400 of WDCC Small World figurines thru TJ Maxx. WDCC collectors flooded Enesco with their displeasure with this tactic and it appeared to make an impression. Maybe HL and Lighthouse Depot need more emails about certain things that are of great concern to us HL collectors because of perceived negative affects to our HL collections.
