I was at DTD a couple weeks ago during a business trip. I stopped by to see if they had any Christmas gear out yet (minimal at that point) and asked if there were going to be any new Radko ornaments this year. I was told there weren't going to be any more. Can anyone confirm this? I've been told they were going to stop making them for years, but while the variety has diminished I've always been able to find some. I used to purchase these ornaments either in DTD at World of Disney, New Orleans Square or at Off the Page next to the Animation building in DCA. Way back when they also had them at the Disney Gallery. If any other collectors are going in the next few weeks I'd love to know whether or not they're being made this year. If they are I may have to find another business trip (I'll be snowed in here, you gotta love Utah) to pick up a few.

I can't find anywhere online to buy these...except one. Thank goodness for Ebay!

The only place they were sold at was in a shop now occupied by the NBC shop. The ornament shop was move across the way but has been boarded up since probably last Spring. The name on the shop has changed so that it no longer implies it is a Christmas, holiday or ornament shop.

That has a list of places to shop for his ornaments.

Click on "Where to Shop" and then it will bring you to a shopping page and the catalogs are at the bottom of the page. Click on catalogue and choose one, good luck.

Sadly you can't buy them direct from the site, they link you to a Disney page saying you can only buy them at the parks. BUT they did have some that they say are being released for 2009! Now I'll just have to see if they show up...Thanks!

I am a Christopher Radko dealer, and he designed the Disney ones only for the parks...I could never buy them either. He sold his company a few years ago, and then the company that bought it sued him. Its been ugly to say the least! The new company is really ruining the brand IMHO. Im really surprised to hear that they have some new Disney for 2009!! I thought they would stop that once they closed the NOS store.

That's interesting to know. I thought they started looking different in the last few years. The number that are put out every year in the last little while have decreased significantly, the whole NOS store used to be full of them, but it would appear that there will be at least two this year. One is Nemo, I wish there would be a set with him and his school buddies. I love that lil' octopus Pearl, she'd make a darling ornament.

If anyone goes to the park and happens to see these around I'd love to know if there are any others available! It's about that time of year...

World of Disney carries a few. I did not get there but it is in the big room where the really expensive stuff is kept. She said it was Jack, Mickey, Nemo and maybe a couple more. Gone are the days of whole walls full of Radko ornaments. towerofterror and I were going to go back and get photos but it was too late.

As you enter the east end of World of Disney sho there are tons of oranments, and other Christmas stuff but Radko is way in the collections room/
