Many of you were there when I tried to explain about it in flashchat.
S-Pooh thought I was hitting the sauce! LOL
I called and texted the guy who owned it but he never responded.
He was texting me but then he dropped of the face of the earth.
All I wanted was a picture and the size of it.
Well yesterday I received a text saying that it was on Ebay.
I immediately sent a message asking the size of it and still never received a response.
Well it turns out that I won it so he texted me to see when I wanted to pick it up.
I went there tonight and got it.
Since it was dark I didn't get a good look at it until I got it home and my
wife said "Ewwwww, its all broken on the bottom. You actually PAID for that?".
That wasn't what I wanted to hear. :No No
Anyway, it turns out that he is only 40" like many people suggested.
I still have never seen one his size in blue like this.
Have any of you ever seen it? Is the yellow original? He says it is but he also said it was in excellent condition. :Shocked
I'm sad to say that he wasn't a "Giant" like I thought but he is still very big.

Not really sure why as I don't use inflatables in my display. So I'll probably put it on Ebay. First, I'd like to have an idea of what it is worth. I looked at Ebay and didn't see any active or completed listings for this one. Hoping someone here can give me an idea of it's value?

Tks!

If there is, report them to William and he can decide what he wants to do about it.


When Lone Star Holidays began, we had three items we wanted to make top-notch: in-person events, online forums, and our company website. Each plays its own piece of the marketing and growth of our organization. The events are the foundation; Lone Star Holidays was created to build real relationships and promote learning among members. The online forums are the most active of any online holiday community and continue to bring new members in daily. The final piece of the puzzle was to create a website that helps market our group. Initially we set up a fairly basic site; the information was there for folks who found LSH but it wasn’t presented at the high level we expect. But that changes today!

We are proud to unveil the new and improved Lone Star Holidays website! The old content is there (and more) but this has been built from the ground up as a new and dynamic tool. One important thing to remember is that the website is not really a tool for us, the current LSH members. Sure there is info there that we want to see, but for the most part it’s really designed as a marketing tool for new members and people who “Google” us. You’ll notice this in the photo and video galleries most of all. For the website, which is public to everyone and easily searchable, we kept the photos to more of a “highlight” nature. All of the photos are still available from the link on the top of the LSH forums.

One other new addition: the new LSH Shopzone is open. This is facelift as well and has moved to a more robust software engine that keeps our merchandise inventory and sales in good order. Working on the “official” side of things mean quarterly sales tax filings, annual federal income tax filings, and maintaining good “books”. This new interface allows us to do that.

We hope you enjoy the new look and tell all of your family, friends, and neighbors about LSH when they ask “How did you do that?” during the upcoming holiday seasons. Be sure to tell us what you think! ]]> Websites Ryan Johnson http://www.synchronizedchristmaslights.com/forum/showthread.php/2154-New-Lone-Star-Holidays-site-and-Shopzone!

1. (2) Empire ghosts w/ pumpkin & black cat, 35" tall.

2. Black cat on pumpkin, Carolina Enterprises, 34" tall, in really good condition.

3. Boo Ghost, Drainage Industries, 23" tall and new, never display

4. Ghost holding pumpkin, General Foam, 34" tall and never displayed either.

I just pulled these pictures together a few minutes ago, so I haven't even thought about what a fair price is. Plus you proably know better than I do anyhow. Each one of these could ship via Parcel Post, so shipping cost should be reasonable; well as reasonable as shipping can be. Of course you're welcome in Buckeye land anytime, so pick-up would be wonderful.

If you're interested, PM me an offer.

thanks!!!
Joe

Her new Tinkerbell Treasure http://www.synchronizedchristmaslights.com/forum/showthread.php/2144-Her-new-Tinkerbell-Treasure?goto=newpost Tue, 31 Aug 2010 04:22:46 GMT I'm happy to say that today was a good stop in walgreens.Knowing they were getting stock in I made sure to see what was new.
Boy is my granddaughter happy.
Here's what I found ~~~~ 1st picture is more the color it really is





Here is a little story about her & tinkerbell. When she was around 4 she would love when tinkerbell would come flying out at the beginning of movies.It was a big thrill for her.Well she decided that she wanted to meet her & get some pixie dust.I told her that she lives at disney world & the dream became an obsession.It made for some good ammo
I milked it for all I had.When she was in kindergarten I told her that if she made green {the best conduct possible} that tinkerbell would be so happy that she might even call her.

Mission accomplished



Fast forward to age 6.
I couldn't make her suffer too much so we did this.The best day of her life!



Oh & the color of the pumpkin is almost a perfect match to Tinkerbell's outfit.It will be used in her room as a nightlight.The kiss picture is blown up as a 20X30.


And Thanks to Disney photo pass we got this too.Another thing that amazed her when she saw the picture & tinkerbell was in her hands.Why couldn't I see her there Maw Maw?



Here are a couple of the orange pumpkin just like it





Not sure if I opened a can of worms or not but she is now Tinkerbell's #1 fan :yesnod ]]> Blowmolds Pepper http://www.synchronizedchristmaslights.com/forum/showthread.php/2144-Her-new-Tinkerbell-Treasure
