Ruh roh! https://www.shopdisney.com/mickey-mouse-...release-1461426Hmm...to buy or not to buy... $29.95 a month. Yikes! These are like the Vinylmation, it seems because this one has an artist signature on it, and Steve Thompson didn't do it. I think Vinylmation does that. I have zero Vinylmation, but I've seen Youtube videos about it.

I was just thinking yesterday how nice it was that I didn't have any monthly series going on right now. Then you post this? Why couldn't you keep it to yourself?  I believe this is a $10 a month increase over the last series they had, but it is a 2 ornament series, so it sort of makes sense. Still, with the bills that have come in over the last couple of months...yikes!! I think I would jump on this if we had some idea what the entire series would include like they've done in the past. If there were a lot of potentially great ornaments, then I would jump in. But if I had similar things already, it would be easy to pass.

So Plane Crazy and Steamboat Willie are the first two. I'll skip these, but I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will be.

So Plane Crazy and Steamboat Willie are the first two. I'll skip these, but I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will be. They're actually both January's theme. February's theme is Art Deco.  I just noticed that it says we'll get them on the third Saturday of every month. Oh, so we're finally committing to a time this year, huh? New Year's resolution, Disney? Saturday's a weird day to have a release. Again, my obsessive stalking on the Shop Disney site. I told you folks I check them daily. I'm still debating. I would love to know February's Art Deco Mickey. This could get very interesting... Hopefully it won't sell out before the "Coco" pre-order code comes in. If all goes well, I can score the January & February ones for $10 off. It is insulting that the February stuff is pictured except the ornament set.

If you scroll down on the second link shared (not the one you shared), on the right hand side, there is a bigger box that says "Mickey Through the Years: Commemorate Mickey Mouse's legacy with collector ornament sets." Inside the box is a two piece Steamboat Willie set. From something I saw when I was looking at the link earlier, I believe that is the February release in the series.

Ahh. I was on my phone the first time I looked, and that image didn't show up. I can see it on my computer though. Thanks! I like it better than the Art Deco look. Too much yellow. I wonder if Hallmark will have a special Mickey ornament to honor his 90th...

Was looking on the left the first time. Duh. Need more coffee. Thanks, Mark~!!! I may have to dig out my Disney Treasure's DVD Tin of the Black & White MM Shorts and watch some today and see what "possibilities" lie ahead for this series. I think I have to get the first in the series for sure. With the "how to fly" as Steven is majoring in Aeronautical Engineering. How can I not buy it? haha  Was watching PBS "The American Experience" that I had recorded the other day. Imagine how I felt when I saw it was Part TWO and I didn't have a Part One to watch? Checked my Direct guide online and it isn't airing in the foreseeable future. The 2 hours in Part Two was very interesting. Didn't know about the protests about Song of the South, some of the early strikes @ Disney Art Studios (paint & ink shop) . . . lots of Walt history.

While I don't think they will go all in, 12 months, with only black & white, several Mickey's have been done in previous series. Repeats? Similar but not the same with non-Steve Thompson artist.
Would they do a Mickey's Runaway Brain version for October?
Two Gun Mickey. I don't think any of the other series have touched upon that one. I think they did the one with Mickey on the horse but it wasn't a Two Gun representation. I think.
Seems they already have done Brave Little Tailor . . . Sorcerer Mickey, Modern/Current Mickey and MM Club themed one too, Partners Statue with Walt, etc. Mine are all packed away and I don't have photos handy to refresh memory on them either.
Maybe a Santa Mickey for December or not.
Patriotic Mickey for July.
I have the Mickey Thru the Years snowglobe from the Parade of Dreams and the same but slightly different minus the Mickey Ears and has the Runaway Brain Mickey finial and then a jar candle holder base for Yankee Candles or similar size with various Mickey's on it. Nifty Nineties, Steamboat, Brave Little Tailor, Sorcerer, Tuxedo . . . they all seem to use the same tried and true Mickey's "thru the years".
Guess time will tell.

Free shipping today. Man...that "wait until free shipping promo" to decide came quickly... But, the ornament has sold out, so I don't have to worry about it.  I tried it since I had a $10 off code for an issue back in November. It lets me get to the check out stage and then says they had to update my bag since some items sold out. So, either it sold out or there's an issue. Luckily, this is the series I'm least excited about since Hallmark basically has the same idea but are much cheaper in this case. It's at least $5 overpriced. I have a hunch the "limit 5" is the issue. People buying to resell. *shrugs*

IF I decide I really want it . . . there is always eBay. I honestly don't see this series or pretty much any of the other monthly series selling like hotcakes but then I don't really look on eBay . . . but I'm thinking very few go for "that" much to offset the original cost, eBay fees Plus PayPal fees. Not much room left for profit for all the trouble.

I guess it was glitching this morning. I went ahead and ordered it with my $10 off code and the free shipping. Not sure if I'll buy all or not. The second one, maybe since I'll need something to use the $10 off $40 code (I love the Donald Duck watch they have with the moving hands like the old Mickey watches, but it's only $30). I just wish they had just done a single ornament for $19.99 instead of including a mini. I've got nothing for "Plane Crazy," so I don't mind getting this and saving the $10 off too. Deana, Toys R Us sells those Ravensburger puzzles for Coco. Sometimes, they'll have Ravensburger for 20% off, and they have more designs than what is on the site. In case you are in the market for another "Coco" puzzle.  I'm still waiting for Shop Disney to get this puzzle: https://smile.amazon.com/Disney-Aladdin-Jasmine-Anniversary-Signature/dp/B06X8ZRYXM/I have the Signature Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Sorcerer Mickey, and Dumbo puzzles, and I really want this one. Dragging their feet...

How long is the Friends and Family code using Disney Visa going to be good? Will it end before the February ornament release, or do you think they'll coincide? It's hard waiting for the third Saturday in a month. LOL.
I got 10% off the January ornament with the usual DRVCMEMBER code . . . but 25% for February will be much nicer.  And I was thinking . . . with 3rd Saturday releases . . . no way we'll get December installment before Christmas~!

Ah, never mind. Just found a line that states that Friends and Family ends Monday. I hope the code will work on the new release to make a nice discount, especially since these are pricey to begin with.
Here I've been saying I'll pass and now I'm lined up to buy two. LOL.
Mark, do you have enough in your basket for free shipping, or do you want to combine orders? You do realize that this Saturday is the third Saturday, right? So we will get the February release before the 25% off expires. I'm still debating on starting this new series. I shouldn't be thinking about it since I am going to be unemployed at the end of April and it is so expensive. So thanks for the offer, but don't wait to order for me. Of course, if I knew what moments from Mickey's life they'd be highlighting with these ornaments, I might decide to go for it. Seriously, why aren't they telling us what to expect all year? On a difference note, have we ever had the December release before Christmas? I think I always got mine after Christmas or while I was gone for Christmas. So that isn't anything new, unfortunately.

Probably iffy at best. Many of the previous monthly series came out the 2nd Monday of the month. I think. And the first 2 series, I'm pretty sure shipped from Memphis, I think this last series shipped from CA . . . but the Memphis ones I'd usually have that Thursday or Friday after ordering them on Monday mornings.

Code arrived today. I have no idea what's going on with it. I popped Steamboat Willie in my bag along with an $8 nightshirt (Disgust! I have the Sadness one and was excited to see that they had that one reduced to $8), The Last Jedi reuseable tote, and then popped in a $20 item to make sure the code was going to work on Steamboat Willie. I might have considered waiting for another free shipping promo, but the Disgust nightshirt being $7.99 really helped since it was $19.99 during the Friends & Family sale when it first caught my eye.
Okay, so the subtotal was a bit under $60, meaning half of that was the Mickey ornament. So, taking Mickey out, it was a $30 subtotal. Anyway, I put in the code, and it took it, but it's not showing any discount on the ornament. Since the code is $10 off $40, that means that it wouldn't work without Mickey, but it's not taking anything off. Very confusing. In my mind's eye, the $10 is coming off that ornament.

Got mine ordered. Yay. I actually have package(s) coming today from UPS (Disney) and FedEx . . . and another UPS tomorrow. I feel like it has been a drought on deliveries from USPS, UPS and FedEx in recent weeks. hahahahaha I'm sure "my guys" will be glad to know I'm still alive & kicking~!!!! I got the ornament set, 2 of the reusable totes with the Compass artwork, 1 for me & 1 for Sarah, really like using these as what would take 10-15 of the flimsy plastic bags from the store I can fit in 2-3 of the reusable and less trips to/from when I remember them . . . Sarah says she learned to faithfully use them especially last year when they were living on the third floor  . . . and the Little Mermaid Figurine Playset . . . don't often see items with Ariel in her wedding dress and Ursula will go well with my Villains for my Halloween Cake decorations plus it was on sale too. But like luckdragon, my 10.00 was really for the ornament set even IF Disney's Shopping Cart doesn't think so.

"Coco" arrives for me tomorrow. I did order "Lady and the Tramp" blu ray on this order to get the free shipping. Even though it's $2 cheaper at places like Target, it saved me shipping cost, so I'm good. It's my second favorite Disney movie, and I wouldn't mind having a digital copy. One thing that bugs me about reusable totes is that they're marketed to help the environment, but when you receive a case of them in store, most companies individually wrap them in plastic. You have to unwrap each one so they can be sold. So, how is that helping the environment? The Disney ones though are cute. Especially if they are reduced price. I did buy the Minnie nightie for the same price as Disgust. And I got these cute lounge pants: https://www.shopdisney.com/chip-n-dale-lounge-pants-for-women-1455614 Little high, even with the discounted price, but look at their glasses and ties! Awww!

I'd guess . . . IF one used them 1-2 times a week x 52 weeks x 3-4 years (in Sarah's case) . . . that is 300-400 times . . . and still going strong . . . vs. say at least 10 plastic throw away bags 1-2 times a week that is like 1,000 times x over same 3-4 years . . . that would be 3-4,000 plastic grocery bags NOT used. While I've bought her many, many of these bags . . . sometimes by time she goes to Sprouts and Kroger . . . she might easily use 10 bags in one shopping trip, mainly big shopping once a week . . . that even though I've given her various movie themed bags, Lion King being a real favorite of both of us . . . plus a couple of years, probably at least 2, maybe 3 designs for Christmas & Halloween over these years . . . that she even uses Christmas & Halloween year round . . . and always gets lots of compliments on her "cute bags" . . . I've even had kids tap their Mother's in line and point to my "cute bags" . . . Anyways . . . they always help when you are just 2-3 or 4-5 dollars away from free shipping . . . and she enjoys them and I enjoyed buying them for her. Hoping by time they do Toy Story 4 they'll have one, one of her all time favorite Disney movies and probably the first one I took her to the theater to see as she would have been almost 2 when it came out . . . but I wasn't buying these back when those movies came out . . . IF they even made them for 1 & 2 probably not.

At least you still have a store. We haven't had one in almost 15 years. Not even one in the entire state, used to have 2-3 in state. Nearest is Atlanta. Back then, could get snowglobes, buy Disney Dollars for the kids for trips, of course stuff for the kids, pins (sometimes), even nicer clothing for adults like Reyn Spooner Hawaiian shirts with a Disney twist . . . Halloween costumes . . . lots of other stuff. And now of course Christmas ornaments in person would be nice, back then, unfortunately, I was "staying true" to Hallmark and probably missed a lot of great ornaments, I know I missed some Sketchbooks from the 2000's due to "staying true".  What I'd like to have IF I had a huge enough room, would be some of the Disney store fixture figurines~!!!! haha

I lost my local Disney Store in 2008, a few months after the first Sketchbook ornaments came out in 2007. I remember getting a catalog in the mail from the Disney Store that showed their Christmas ornaments, saying they were on sale 3 for a certain price (I can't remember, I just remember the "3 for" part). I wanted the Pongo/Perdita ornament in front of the window and the Baloo/Mowgli ornament. When I got to the store, I picked out a third (Jiminy Cricket). Then, poof, the store was gone. I didn't start ordering them online until...probably 2011 since I wasn't a big online shopper for a long time and just bought things in stores, so it never dawned on me to look for a Disney Store website. So, I feel you about missing out on some. "Coco" showed up!  I also got this beautiful Ravensburger puzzle today! https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B078PLHK43/I've bought a few puzzles from Amazon that are Ravensburger that I've never seen in stores. There's a UK seller on Amazon called Englishpostbox UK, and I love that seller! They ship so quickly with free shipping, and they package the puzzles in the perfect sized box. I'm not sure if they sell these Ravensburger Disney puzzles are available in the US. I've seen the Pixar Ravensburger ones in various stores, but I've never seen the Disney ones. Amazon has a few in stock now (they haven't before and not of this one yet), so maybe they're coming here? Typically, the seller charges around $23 for a puzzle like this. A Ravensburger 1000 piece puzzle in the US is $19.99, so $23 is not too shabby (especially considering the shipping's free). I do wish the Disney Store website had these. They make several pretty ones. I have a Cinderella one from them where she's transforming into the ballgown, and the ballgown is actually silver like it is in the movie (instead of blue like Disney markets it).

Only thing I don't like about puzzles is trying to find a place to store them after finishing. I'm not a framer since I like putting them together over and over again. I wish they had smaller boxes. Target sells some Ceaco puzzles in smaller boxes than Wal-Mart, Amazon, Toys R Us, Hobby Lobby, etc. Same puzzles, but the boxes are smaller. Shame that the ones they're selling I have no interest in or already have (like the Thomas Kinkade Disney ones). I have almost all of the 750 piece Thomas Kinkade Disney puzzles. I'm missing Snow White and Pinocchio. Even have a Pinterest of the puzzles: https://www.pinterest.com/luckdragon9/puzzles-i-love/My Disney Store order shipped! Says it'll be here on Friday. Quickest they've done in a long time.

Now I want that puzzle. Thanks, I think. (Not that I've put a puzzle together in a couple of decades, but I want it.) Mark, Me too~! Since you collect pins, do you remember or perhaps have some of the pins from the 100 Years set, I think the first set, that most/all of those posters were represented by a pin each in that set? They were like perfect little replicas of the posters. I think we have most of them . . . and then some of the pins from the set(s) went down to like 1.99 in the store that made great traders for the kids back then on our trips.

I actually started collecting pins years after they started with the set you are talking about, so I don't have any of them. I wish I had a few, but I haven't tried to track them down or buy them off ebay. Obviously, I don't want them that much.

Wow! That's impressive! I'm due to get most of my order tomorrow. I thought it was the whole order until I got an email from Shop Disney saying my order shipped. I thought maybe I got lucky and they were shipping "The Last Jedi" early (sorry, but I'm obsessed with that movie since it has been years since I've seen a movie paced that well, and I'm super impressed by the writer's ability to pace that story). Nope. "Lady and the Tramp" blu ray shipped separately.
Did you like the ornament? Ornament is very nice . . . especially the miniature Steamboat. The paint job isn't perfect near Mickey's hat and his left ear and his ending of his nose @ his face. I'd say it is almost perfect. But very nice sculpt and the black/white is such a contrast to their usual colorful Sketchbook line. I'm happy to have this one in my collection but man these boxes are HUGE. Very nicely done . . . the paint/color seems almost more like a wash than the usual paint technique/colors to give it more of that time era look of color . . . IF they had painted with a thicker more pigmented grey-white it would have looked like they were trying too hard or something. This is the right touch except the tiny little flaws in the ear & nose but it is very, very minor.

If anyone was interested in that Ravensburger puzzle, Amazon has it back in stock from the seller I bought it from: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078PLHK43/I can vouch for the seller. Very reliable, fast shipping, great box sized perfectly for the puzzle, honest/fair price too.

In Disney's quest to continue trying to make the site less user-friendly (right on track), they changed the "new" button. If you click it, you go to "new arrivals." Which shows categories of featured brands, top categories, whatever. Only cool thing on there is the "coming soon" portion. Maybe we'll get a sneak of the new Sketchbooks from that page. Anyway, to get to the regular New Arrivals, you go through a few buttons, but let me post a quick link to help folks: https://www.shopdisney.com/new?sort=startDate&order=descThat's all new products, sorted by "newest." You still get the repeats, so it's not perfect, but this makes it more like what we're used to. I ordered Band Concert during a free shipping promo combined with my $10 off $40 (didn't work on the ornament, but I'm considering it as working on the ornament) from pre-ordering "The Last Jedi." Supposed to show up on Saturday. Now, I won't have a code for the April one. Will have to play it by ear. Shouldn't sell out, so maybe I can wait for a special. Maybe Memorial Day will have a sale.

April's up: https://www.shopdisney.com/mickey-mouse-...release-1470879No idea what May's ornament is. They have an animation of Steamboat Willie instead of a picture of the ornament up.  Plane Crazy finally sold out though. And the site-wide discount won't work on the Brave Little Tailor.

#5 Fantasia is up: https://www.shopdisney.com/mickey-mouse-...release-1472038I was technically awake when these finally showed up at around 3:40 AM on the East Coast. I was not amused, but I wanted the plush this month, and I got it! I didn't buy the ornament though. I keep hoping for a cheaper price. Anyway, next month's is Mickey and the Beanstalk.

#6 Mickey and the Beanstalk is up: https://www.shopdisney.com/mickey-mouse-...release-1474931I definitely think the Disney Storybook Classics Mickey and the Beanstalk ornament is much nicer, but the mini here is adorable! I think they have more of a knack with object miniatures than character ones (I can't stand the faces on the character ones; they look like monkeys). If they did an icon miniature set, kind of like what Hallmark's currently doing (they did the glass slipper last year and have the Genie lamp this year), I would buy that set. They didn't list next month's! *sniffles* It just says come back in July for the next one. I'll admit I stayed up last night to buy the plush again (it grew on me). It already sold out. I have zero interest in the 1970s one next month. You can see the 1970s collection on this page: https://www.shopdisney.com/mickey-mouse-monthly-magic

Oh, that’s playing dirty! #7 is “Pluto’s Christmas Tree”: https://www.shopdisney.com/mickey-mouse-...release-1479592Next month is Mickey Mouse Club. Earlier this week, Shop Disney called me and offered early access over the phone for the July plush since I missed out on the June plush. I declined the offer since I don’t like the 70s plush. I’m not big on the 80s plush either. At least I got the May one since the 50s plush is my favorite (at least without seeing September-December). As for the monthly ornaments, I have a plan. I preordered “Infinity War” and “Solo.” Both have $10 off $40 offers. Shop Disney won’t take a discount from the ornaments, but they count toward your $40 purchase, so I plan to buy 2 st a time with some other merchandise and will consider the monthly ornaments as losing $5 each. Before long, “The Incredibles 2” should have the same offer, so I’ll do the same. That’ll get me through September’s release since I already have January-March.

Really great day to play catch-up on this series! The Band Concert (March), Brave Little Tailor (April), Fantasia (May), and Mickey and the Beanstalk (June) are all an extra 40% off with the code BONUS40! The code will not work on Steamboat Willie (February) or Pluto's Christmas Tree (July). Won't work tomorrow either on Mickey Mouse Club (August)...well...unless they decide to be nice or make a mistake.
So happy! Bought the three I was missing: Brave Little Tailor, Fantasia, and Mickey and the Beanstalk. I've been telling them in reviews since Plane Crazy that they priced these at least $5 too high and that's why they set around for so long. My code for preordering Infinity War hadn't shown up yet, so I had to call. They're saying it should show up tomorrow. So, I can score MMC paired with something else at least $10. And use the Solo code next month for September's release. By then, I feel like "The Incredibles 2" will have the same offer, and I can get the October (or maybe November) release. Then, just will have two left. Nice when things work out.
Edit: Steamboat Willie shows a sold out message if you try to add it to your cart, so that's most likely the reason why it is not counting for the 40% off sale.

I hope tomorrow brings more Sketchbook ornaments on the site. So eager to see what will be new in the line.
I'm hoping for more tomorrow. There's no way this is the entire line simply due to the over-abundance of "Beauty and the Beast" ornaments. The August ornament was kind of released yesterday. Same issue as last month, so we have to wait until they fix the issue and people can actually buy it: https://www.shopdisney.com/mickey-mouse-...release-1481379September's release will be Mickey's Christmas Carol.
