Well done.

I committed and bought them to replace my C9 incans. They're better than advertised and I highly recommend them.

The Grinch molds are back at Menard's.

I used some flame bulbs from Menards, I like how they look. The effect can be easily be seen from the street too. They were $4 or $5 a bulb. I also tried them in the Noel candles, but at that point with so many flames my house looked like the entrance to a dungeon. VID_20191227_174725.mp4

Seller out of Indiana is asking 2-4k for them.

Crestwood.

Better pics and prices to come. The paint apps look great, rather small, but better than nothing. They also have Union stuff from the past couple years, the North Pole sign is back too.

I'm hoping we finally found out exactly what molds they've had all these years.

I just researched the Beco corporation, apparently they were located a few blocks from my house on 52nd and Kolmar in Chicago. The sleigh and reindeer never traveled more than a few miles in the 47 years since they were manufactured.

They need a good cleaning but I couldn't beat it. I'll recreate the sleigh and antlers in the meantime while I search for parts to fill in the gaps. On EBay they were listed as "Santa sleigh with reindeer" with no mention of the name Beco, which is probably why there were few bidders. Thanks for the comments and Merry Christmas to my fellow blow mold junkies!

Thanks! I'll have pics this afternoon.

On whim I browsed eBay tonight, and out popped the remnants of the Beco Santa sleigh and reindeer. It included the "jolly Santa and four reindeer. The reindeer were missing the antlers, but they had their mounting poles, Santa looks good but there is no sleigh. It does include the sleigh runners though. When I came across it the bidding was only at $51.00, so I tossed out a bid and won it for a few bucks more! I'll post some pics as soon as I pick it up. I was always interested in the set but the prices were way out of my league.

Anybody else get started?
