I usually see a lot. The ones I see the most are the plain black ones and the patriotic ones.

We live in a town of about 10,000 people. Oddball and I are lucky if see 1 every 3 months(besides ours that is). How sad!!!:(
Oddball has started collecting them but she will not let me change them sometimes on my antenna. She tells me to get my own! SO, I do!:p

My Dh had one on his car ..but it didn't fit on the antenna at first.. he need to enlarge the hole. Now he lost it in the car wash! He was so upset.. he went into the car wash looking for it! Did anyone else have a problem fitting the Mickster on their antenna's?
On my way to uni. in the morning I usually see about 2 or 3. Usually the plain mickey or Minnie ones. There are quite alot of them bobbing about over here in Scotland.

I went from not seeing any, to seeing at least 3 when I go out!:p I am excited when I see one, and I have DH drive closer to that car, so they can see mine!:o I have the Hawaii Lime Green one, and so far, I haven't seen ANY of those!:D By the way, this is my 3rd one. The Antenna is on MY side, the passenger side, so I put them on!;)

None! I live in a very small town so I wouldn't see any to begin with! LOL...I have 5 of them that Chris (December99) has sent to me, but I do not dare put one on my antenna...I just know it would be stolen within minutes!! :(

I have seen quite a few lately, especially the patriotic one.
Chrissi Pooh and I came out of Walmart yesterday and we were looking for her car - I said look for your Mickey head - there we lots of them in the lot!!
We both have the ones where Mickey has legs - I wish I could find a pic - bet Dec 99 has one like it! :)

This is scary....you are guys are getting to know my WAY too well!!!!! :D :D :D :D
Depends how many college students are in town but generally I can see anywhere from 1-10 per day....also depending on what I'm doing. If I'm running to the store or WalMart - I tend to see more.
Now if you walk in my spare bedroom you probably will find close to 50 right now!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D :D :D :D

2 or 3 a day, not counting the 3 at work parking lot. Usually the patriotic Mickey (like mine) or plain black.
Was kinda bummed when visiting DIS Marketplace at the "World" a few weeks ago...I expected to see much more variety (altho I did get Minnie balls for SIL & co-worker).
Still waiting for husband to drill out my Goofy tenna topper to fit properly...to match my Goofy cellphone, of course!

The last time I saw one on a car, besides my own, was at PatrickIL's house where he had the same one on his car that I did (Dec99 gave them to all of us at a prior meet!). ;) Other than that, I don't see them regularly. :( But, that's good for me in a parking lot ~ easier to spot my car!! :)

Must live in a Disney "town" because I see A LOT!! of them and the town I live in is only 15,000. A lot of black, a lot of patriotic but others too. For a long time I was the only one with a sorcorer mickey but alas I have seen another one.

I actually see a lot in this area. I have 6. I have a plain black 1 from WDW, a patriotic 1, a pink swirl, a multi-color, a pink 1 with a princess crown on it and a lime green 1. The lime green is on my car now. I'll probably put the patriotic one back on soon.

Well if you don't count my brothers (I bought it for him and he parks next door to me) and a co-workers (So that's who took my red/white/blue Mickey!) I usually see one or two a week on the parkway as I drove to or from work. One day I saw a guy with a topper, the bumper sticker that I have and the license plate holder! License plate read: HLP WDW. I thought it was pretty cute!
Chris, you have 50 toppers in your guest room!?!?! :eek: :eek: :eek:

I see quite a few in and around Houston. I just drove all of the glitter off my ball, so I bought a new one on Saturday.... the "head" has the famous red shorts on the bottom half, with two legs adorned with yellow shoes. It's adorable and matches my red Blazer.

DD is always on the lookout. Usually, we don't see too many in the city, but see many more in the suburbs when doing our shopping. They must like them here though, now I've had 3 stolen! :mad: :mad: :mad: If they like them so much, I wish they would buy their own!:rolleyes: DD gets so disappointed when they disappear. Well, less than two more weeks to WDW to buy some more!!!:)

I have seen one other...that was me working drive-thru one day. I want an antenna topper, but I guess that a car and driver's licence would help :rolleyes:
