Any antenna topper collectors?

[JulieL]

I have about 35 Disney antenna toppers. Are there any other collectors here?

Does that mean you also own 35 cars?

I have some. I don't have an antenna on my car, so I hang them on my rear view mirror. I keep the stars and stripes one up all year. I bought the summer one and still have that up. I bought the pumpkin one, which I guess I'll put up at the beginning of next month. I have the one with the Santa hat for the holidays. I bought the princess one, but haven't used it yet. I think they're really cute and for $3 or $4 it's fun to have different ones.

I collect mickey heads and jacks. I don't have nearly as many as you but I do have a growing collection which do not go on my car. They are on a shelf in shot glasses (isn't nice of my husband to collect shot glasses for my antenna balls to fit in). I buy extras for the ones on my car. I have about 15-20 different ones. I love the pumpkin of course. I also love my sorcerer mickey hat and the Christmas one.

We have about 4... I have a Goofy that holds on to my trucks antenna... A co-worker saw it and just said. Yup... It fits. That is you!

Whew, I thought it was just me! While I don't have 35, I certainly have more than enough for my one car!

but only 35 Disney toppers!

A reindeer Mickey???? I'm so jealous! I've never even seen that one.

I keep my toppers in hockey puck display cases. Shot glasses would work really well, I bet.

Here's a website for antenna ball collectors

I made some cheap antenna topper displays. You can buy wood dowels that will fit into the little hole, I got mine at Walmart for 29 cents. I cut them to the length I wanted and then stuck them into a piece of styrofoam. Then I took a piece of red Christmas ribbon and wrapped it around the base.

Here's a picture

I have 28, I think.

Your display of toppers reminds me of my first one, but it only held 12 toppers. Hehe

I think that website you sent belongs to one of our club members. It's called 'Tenna Topper Traders and we pick up extra toppers to trade amongst ourselves. Disney toppers are always popular. I'm still working on getting those pumpkin ones.

Hope,
I LOVE the Mickey one with the legs. Where did you get that one?
I went to TDS today to get my 9-11 pin and they had a "tower" sale. Everything in the tower, including keychains, antenna toppers etc was $2.00 if you buy 4 or more. I spent $34. Christmas gifts for my niece. I bought her the little princess keychain purses for her Barbie Princess dolls I bought her for her birthday and Christmas. and the candy suitcases, and a tigger parachute, some Mickey pens, a neat floating head Mickey keychain, stickers, and 5 different Mickey head toppers. A NEW COLLECTION. Peggie

OMGosh, I had no idea there were so many. I remember seeing the tie die ones a few months ago at my local DS but I didn't pick them up. They don't fit on my antenne and since I have a hard time thinking outside the box, I never thought about the cute displays I could make. I bought the princess one today for a friend. I bought the Stitch about a month ago and a co-worker has stitchnapped him. He is holding a toothpick and sitting on her computer. Every once in a while, I will see him on someone else's computer but not for long. So I guess I have one.

have no clue how many I have - I have them all lined up in the back window of my car

Darlene,

The one with the legs came from the Disney Store, earlier this year. Our local store sold out them in about 2 days and they never came in again. It's one of my favorites, it and the CM full body Mike.

Now that I have a display (I only made mine about 3 weeks ago), I'm so excited about antenna toppers. I had bought them whenever I saw a new one because they were cheap, but it was no fun to just throw them in a corner. I'm just afraid that Disney is going to make them the next "hot" collectible like pins or beanies and come out with 7 a week.

Check out ebay item #2139284957 to see the Mickey reindeer antenna topper. WDW sells them at the Days of Christmas Shop.

 

[JulieL]

Do you think they'll hold some for me until November?

 

[disneyboysmousehouse]

From the looks of the inventory Julie, it appears it will be a part of common stock, just like the Mickey with Santa hat. I'm sure they'll have plenty.

Wow.. I never knew there were so many different toppers... COOL!
