Hawthorne Mayberry Christmas Village
I have added pictures to my website of the five Mayberry Christmas Village buildings that I have received thus far. They are the Taylor Home, the Courthouse, the Barber Shop, Wally's Gas Station, and the latest building All Soul's Church. You can get a fairly good idea of what they look like if you are thinking of getting them. You really cannot see the six lighted street lamps that I have between the buildings. My setup is temporary as I will be doing a much nicer display when we get to the Christmas season. If you would like to take a look at them go to my website at www.mayberryreflections.com. If you would like to receive the pictures by email, I would be happy to send them to you so you can get a larger picture. You might also have a hard time seeing the figurines of Andy, Barney, Aunt Bee, Opie, and Gomer. They do not show very well on these pictures.

Re: Christmas Village...
Following the link to these, I was at first was quite excited about it, what with TAGS/Mayberry/Christmas being a perfect combination - and almost impulsively signed up immediately. As I kept reading and looking it over, it then dawned on me that maybe this wasn't what I wanted after all. It all looks nice, but judging from the one episode we have to compare, it sure didn't seem like Mayberry. The big lighted tree in the middle of town, the tree on top of the building, all the snow (does it really snow in NC?). It suddenly just didn't seem that realistic. So I decided to keep my Dickens Village and pass on this one. Sure hope I don't have to kick myself somewhere down the road for this decision though... tom ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Hawthorne Mayberry Christmas Village
http://www.collectiblestoday.com/ct/product/prdid-48215.jsp I remember reading about the promotional flyer being mailed out for the new Hawthorne pieces and saw where Ken had mentioned his, so I was curious if they are any different than the first set that came out in the 90's?

RE: Christmas Village
I talked to them yesterday they gonna send me info on it. The guy said that they were gonna make up the courthouse first, and see how that did before going onto the other ones he said the figurines were gonna be of Andy and Opie. I told him they need to put Barney in there. This could be used I figure for part of an HO layout. Maybe put Mayberry, Mt. Pilot and Greendale on one end of it, and Hooterville, Pixley and Crabwell Corners on the other end (Model railroaders take poetic license to do this You have to because of space.) Here's Hooterville and the CannonballFrom inside Paul Henning's home (actual photos of the model layout used on the show.) http://petticoat.topcities.com/scalemodelphotos.htm Here's the Hooterville Cannonball http://petticoat.topcities.com/hooterville_cannonball.htm has anybody ever seen a layout of what the mayberry Train station and tracks would look like I told th guy on the phone, we need a mayberry train, and the Hooterville Cannonball. Both would be collectors items. BTW got to get my plane set back up in Mayberry. (Surrey County-Mt. Airy Airport.) that will gimme a chance to bring up real world weather, and see if any of Ernest T has hit yet. Guess I gotta watch for flying rocks.

Mayberry Christmas Village
You can probably call Hawthorne and they'd mail you a flyer. I received one too. I think those of us who bought some of the original Hawthorne TAGS buildings (I have the court house, Taylor House, Wally's and Floyds/Foleys, plus the squad car, Andy, and Barney) were the lucky ones to automatically receive the flyer for the Christmas village. I'm tempted to purchase but I do have the "real" set and they came with little christmas wreaths and strings of lights (they don't light, just look like the do). The buildings have little tiny hooks on the corners so you can decorate them for the holidays. I love how the flag on the outside of the court house can be removed so you can hang the wreath around it. Since I live on the coast of Florida I've been following the tropical storm Ernesto which brings to mind how it could easily be called Ernest T. It's kind of flitting around, never going in a straight line, jumpy like, completely unpredictable and irritating, first a storm, then hurricane, now a storm again. I just wonder when it'll start throwing rocks. Which brings to mind back in 1999 just about 3 weeks before Mayberry Days, Hurricane Floyd hit the NC coast, making people's hair stand on their uneven sideburns. Wonder what causes that?

RE: New Mayberry Christmas Village by Hawthorne
I looked up Hawthorne's site http://www.hawthorne.com Found nothing of Mayberry there. I do have that old ad from about 10-20 years ago which i pulled out of a TVGuide Only thing I found close to the courthouse tho was teh Civil War era court house. sort of looks like mayberry's courthouse & has a rotunda on top with confederate flags flying in front of the bldg. _ Get the new Windows Live Messenger! http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
New Mayberry Christmas Village by Hawthorne
I am not sure if this has been discussed or not, but I received a letter/promotion yesterday from Hawthorne Village about the release of the Mayberry Christmas Village. It appears as if Hawthorne is going to release at least 4 buildings. The Mayberry Courthouse will be released with a bonus of an Andy and Opie figurine. The Taylor Home will be the second release with a bonus of an Aunt Bee figurine. The other buildings shown are Floyd's Barber Shop and Wally's Filling Station. There will be a release of Barney and Gomer figurines as well as a six piece light set. All of the buildings and lights have Christmas decorations on them and the buildings have snow on them. All of this appears to be a permanent part of each piece and not something to enhance the picture. The price is $59.95 plus $7.99 for shipping and handling. You can even pay it off in two installments of $29.98 each if you want. Thanks, Tim Hinesley "Boy, giraffes are selfish." ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
