people are already pre selling them on fleabay. (one was buy it now $32.)

Ive been to 2 of the Hallmark stores in the area and put my name on a list. Since these are limited edition they only put me down for 1 and they don't guarantee I will get one. The don't know how many each store will get (they said about 6-8) And since im not a regular, spending, customer, I wont get priority. So FYI, if you really want one, go to your local Hallmark store and get your name on the list!

At least they let you put your name on a list. I offered to pay for one upfront and was told "No, that wouldn't be fair to anyone else that wants one". I also told her unlike 99% of her customers I own one of the 3867 of these cars produced and she could have cared less. She told me to get in line outside the store about 4 hours before they open.

Anyone know if these will be released in all North American stores or U.S. only??

Sheryl, if you can manage to snag one for me I would be MOST appreciative!

The Canadian Hallmark stores will have them. No need to have one bought and shipped from the US.

I've confirmed my order for at least one if not two of the ornaments from a local Hallmark store. They will hold the one or two until I get back home on the 18th. I wish they were a little darker blue though so to match my Special.

Stephan, I was only able to get one. sorry.:sad:

My local store received 3. I only got it because the store employee broke rules, she went above and beyond for me. She felt I was deserving since I actually own the car and showed them pictures when I went in there 2 weeks ago. The store opened at 2330 hrs last night and rang up orders starting at midnight. I got there at 2330 and there were 30 cars in the parking lot and the store was full of people! People had started lining up at 2100hrs. I had no clue about this whole Hallmark xmas ornament following. I got an education last night.

The other store in the next town over that I had stopped into 2 wks ago and put my name on the list had called me yesterday am, and said I would not get one, so I needed to look elsewhere (they got 6 in) they didn't care that I owned the car, they gave them to their regular customers in the Hallmark ornament club (costs $50./yr to join) I was glad they called so I didn't waste my time going over there.


There is a bunch of them on ebay, its amazing that us who really want them cant get one at our local store and have to pay 2x's for one on fleabay

So glad you got 1 Sheryl, I found the same thing here in Oregon. Our store got 10 and were gone within 15 minutes of opening. Didn't know Hallmark collectors are as bat crazy about collections as California Special owners are.

I was able to get one on Sunday at the Hallmark Store in Manhattan Beach CA. I went in when they opened and she said nope they were all sold out the first day. but she said she would check and sure enough there was 1 left. got lucky I guess. but ebay also has them about double the price

There is only one Hallmark store left in my area, so I really didn't expect to hear back from them after I called to put my name on the list. I got the call this morning and just arrived back with my own 50th Anniversary GT/CS Keepsake ornament. :grin:
