WDCC

[gabrielle2106]

If you want to purchase WDCC as it comes, you can join 'The gallery of the lakes" they will take your membership, send you the regular magazines, you get the official members only offers etc. they mail world wide free on any purchase over $100 (which is most of them), you can phone them etc, they're very good to deal with.
The send off your membership with their address, that's how they get around the USA, Canada only issue...actually a few different resellers do that too.
Personally I refuse to pay the prices the stores charge here, i can buy off ebay, get it mailed over including registered post for less than half. Example is recently on Australian ebay, a mickey wdcc figure which was a membership gift, sold for $105, I bought the same figure on the american ebay, had it mailed over registered, and with the currency conversion it set me back $46..... a lot different.

Now that is a great tip Vicki.

We've been WDCC members for years, but it is always a messy process in this country. The retail shops here have no idea what to do, and memberships always get stuffed up. We've been corresponding with Enesco in the UK recently to try and get our problems fixed and our missing copies of Sketches magazine!

I was hoping Enesco will allow worldwide online renewal for WDCC members (like they just launched in the US) as it will make things much easier.

We will have to explore the Gallery of the Lakes option (I've always liked their site and http://www.wdccduckman.com - I just didn't know they would process the overseas memberships!)

Thanks again.
