Change of mind!

I didn't rush to buy it when it first come out, because I didn't like it! The reason from the pictures the green lights were the first thing I saw with the black cord. I got over it and bought it since no more Trick or Treat house this year and of course the discounts. Surprise I like it and the lights weren't that much of an issue.

The perfect piece

As soon as this house was released, I knew I had to have it. Now that I have it set up in my village, I can confirm that it is absolutely as perfect as it seemed online. The price through CountryNMore made it much easier to justify, so I got it faster than I had originally planned. The eerie green light makes for top tier spooky vibes!

Love this piece

I’m so glad I love this one because their pieces are getting harder and harder to justify the prices. It’s a fantastic lit building and I’m really glad to have it added to Trick or Treat Lane.

Country n More is the best retailer. Excellent customer service.

Lighting sets the scene

I was on the fence about purchasing the Kraken House, now I am glad I did. It is the lighting that really makes it stand out. It is an eerie neon shade of green. It isn't just a few lights; the whole house is lit up. I plan on using it in a display along with The Monsters of the Deep.

Great Halloween Village Piece

The Kraken house is so perfect for any Halloween display. I love Trick or Treat Lane but had grown a bit tired of the similar looking pieces. This piece is so different and so much fun! The lighting is awesome and eerie. It could be used in so many Halloween themed villages. I am planning a New Orleans Halloween village this year and it will be perfect for demonstrating the over the top Halloween displays that NOLA is known for. The quality is really nice too and reminds me of the pieces of old that were creative and exciting.

Central Perk - Platinum
davidmcmullen61@gmail.com (Elkton, US)
Too Picky

I wish I could have given Central Perk a 5 star rating, but sadly I could not. This piece fits very well with Christmas in the City. The height is similar to many of the older Department 56 CIC buildings such as Woolworth's (retired in 2008) and the Coca Cola Soda Fountain. Many of the newer pieces are less than 9 inches in height. The detail is also great. What I like about Christmas in the City are the crisp lines, shape details and flat painting, which works very well with my taring layout. Central Perk has the same type of details and fits the layout well. The bricks appear to be individually placed and the railing adds distinct contrast giving the piece a more realistic look.

This is my first non-ceramic Department 56 piece, and this is where my slight disappointment is derived. Though this material is more durable and impact/chip resistant. I like ceramic buildings better. I noticed the subtle sag in the roof when I placed a straight edge on it. I also noticed that the thinner walls on the building allow light to illuminate through the sides. This is only an issue when the building is lit at night.

In summary, I like Central Perk and will definitely display it frequently. I may begin to appreciate it more after I chip another ceramic building.

But one last comment, CountyNMoreGifts is the best seller of Department 56 I have purchased from in years! Their prices are very good, shipping is excellent (I have never received a damaged product or box) and customer service representatives are helpful and always willing to speak with you prior to your purchases. They get 5-Stars+!

Excellent!

Wow! This gnome is spectacular! The detail is amazing as Jim Shore does! I love that I can keep this out all year with the interchangeable baskets of the seasons! Thank you CountrynMoreGifts for the deals, fast shipping and overall selection of products! Will buy from again!

It was a must have on first sight

I saw this Aurora in person at a local show and knew I had to have her. I love the large size, and the sparkling jewels bring it to life. The facial expression is not 100% accurate for the character but that is to be expected on a Jim Shore piece. I still highly recommend!
