There's a new brochure available at Disneyana (they're apparently being mailed out to homes as well, but I don't remember getting one) about the Arts & Collectibles at the resort. The next piece in the Disneyland collection done by Robert Olszewski will be the Central Plaza (The Hub). It includes the Partners Statue (Walt and Mickey), the surrounding bronze statuettes, the popcorn stand and firefly twinkle lights in the trees. Release date is December 13, 2003. Price is $95.

We'll be able to have a noon meet at our house. :)

Hi Cindy,
We just received the brochure you mentioned above today, one for my DH and one for myself. We're curious to see what the Hub piece will look like in person, as the pictures of the castle certainly did not do it justice!!

Does anyone know if there is a picture online somewhere?

Personally I am very disapointed with how they handled the first piece. It was supposed to be an open edition that would be available all through 2003 but it sold out at the event and has been unavailable ever since:crying:

Yeah, we're still waiting for our first piece. We got a notice in the mail back in May (which is when we were told we would get it when we ordered it last December) saying that it would still be a few more months (maybe August) before we might get it.

*sigh*

Don't be too upset over the delays. Mr. Olszewski has a serious medical problem that put him out of commission for a while. He is still taking things very sowly, but, he is also a very concerned artist and he will NOT let things go without being involved in the process and inspecting the pieces. We should be geateful for his care for quality.

Oh not upset here. I am verypateintly waiting. Im just surprised that they are announincg a new release date for a new figure when the others arent even completed. Seems like an impossible task for him.

Someone on LaughingPlace posted this link (http://www.angelfire.com/la2/Disneyholic/CentralPlaza.jpg) which shows the entry in the catalog.

Just a heads up:

To anyone that hasn't seen the first Olszewski piece, Sleeping Beauty Castle, pictures do not do his work justice. They are very nice pieces! :)

Is the first piece still available for purchase? It's one of those things I always meant to purchased but put off. But I still like to get one.

Umm I don;t know if it is....It's on back-order for those who have done that. But I don't think it's still technically available to order. I may be wrong though...sure wouldnt be the first time ;)
Hubby and I fell in love with it though when we saw it last Christmas. Can't wait to see it in real life.

The signs still say that it's available for sale, though I don't know what they're quoting as far as delivery date. You can order them at the park or through DelivEars.

Well, the Hub piece is not for sale yet, so there's nowhere for you to order it. After December 13, you'll be able to order it the same way you ordered the castle.
