Welcome to the best site on the web !!!!
Pull up a chair and get comfy.

I have just returned, triumphant, from my visit to TJ Maxx. I was able to pick up both the Frankenstein diorama and a Creature diorama. It struck me as odd that the Frankenstein piece was  priced at $14.99 and the Creature was priced at $12.99. Strange.

Oh, and by the way, I picked up two extra Creature dios for those who are TJ Maxx deprived. Please contact me if you are interested in them for cost plus shipping.

You are a true giver, Jim!   Oh Gareee?

[Jim Bertges]

One Creature Dio is already spoken for. I still have one extra left.

[Gareee]

Email sent! Me wants creature love!

[Jim Bertges]

All my extras have been spoken for. My friends, there are still others in need if you have an extra Creature Diorama, please speak up, I know there are still members who are Creature deprived.

I went yesterday to TJ MAXX  and got zippo,nada.They had some Halloween stuff out but none of them Dept 56.Went to Homegoods and saw a werewolf nutcracker and went to Micheals and saw a bust of what kinda looks like Vincent Price with pointed ears.I want them Dept 56 dios so I'll guess i'LL go back later to see.

Harry,
            I ,too visited Michael's and thought the same thing about the pointy eared statue. I almost bought because of the unusual  VP likeness. They also had a little generic Frankenstein bust, but they went SO far out of their way to make it not resemble Karloff, Strange or anybody good, that i really don't see why they bother making them at all. Either license it or forget it... Can't wait for the Funko Uni-monsters due out this Fall!

I checked back at TJ's and they hadn't put anymore out. 

But, I did see the "Vincent Price" bust at Michaels.  I am going to have to get one of those to go with the "female ghost" (I call her Lenore) bust they had last year.  What a set they will make.

I finally got a chance to go back and check Homegoods and they had finally put some of these out!  I got a Creature dio (the only one I saw) and I got a Bride of Frankenstein (they had 4 so I choose the one with no flaws).  All of them were out of box and they claimed they did not have the boxes for them.  Unfortunately they didn't have the Dracula dio or the globe so I may have to check again if I can but if I keep having to check and recheck Homegoods I may as well have paid full price for these with the rising price of gas.........

I picked up the Dracula dio today at tj maxx, only one they had. was told if they were to get anymore that their  shipments come in on Mon. Wed., and Fri.'s.

I have also heard reports that these dioramas are popping up at Marshall's stores across the country.  I have no word on the price, but I would suspect they would be similar to TJ MAXX, but I'm not sure.  If anyone has a Marshall's around them, check out the Halloween display and see if any Uni's are available.  If anyone has any luck, be sure to share the price.
