Good news for us GWTW fans! As one of my previous postings stated, San Francisco Music Box Co. filed bankruptcy a few months ago and closed all their retail stores. Shipments to us wholesale accounts also ceased, so we have been surviving on our inventory we previously had in stock.
Good news has arrived that SFMBC has been bought out by Calendar Pad, a division of Barnes and Noble and shipping to wholesale accounts should begin very soon. There will be no more SF retail stores, so their products will have to be purchased from dealers such as GWTW Memories. Unfortunately, for us, they have 'retired' 11 of their 20 previous pieces and now have 12 musical figurines in their GWTW collection. These 12 pieces include 3 new ones, which should be releasing in October and November.
The new musicals include "Prissy At the Fence", "Rhett & Mammy's Petticoat", and "Sacrlett & Ashley, The Sash" figurine. I will do a separate posing on these three so you can see photos of them.
If you would like to see which one(s) of the retired pieces you missed, you can look on the web site by clicking on the following link to the MUSICAL category. The retired musicals will have an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the name, as all retired pieces do. We do have a limited number of several of these retired pieces in stock, so if you are interested in completing your set, email us or give us a call at (813) 752-7700 to see if we have what you need at this time.
