Arribas Brothers Jewled Figurines

Does anyone collect these? If so, what do you have? Thinking about getting into this - but looks VERY pricey. Probably would only get one year.

I have always loved these too. They are ultra-expensive, and we can buy so many other collectibles or souveniers with the money. I know there must be collectors, as they have these all over the parks. I stopped by this spring and looked at some outside of the Italy pavillion in Epcot. They are so detailed, and cute! Good luck with collecting these!

Well, I am back from my trip and Arribas Bros. empty handed. As much as I love them, I couldn't do it. There were some that were more affordable ($85-$150), but they were so small! The more substantial pieces were way too much for me. For now, I will have to admire from afar! I was thinking of doing the bobble head Mickeys but I'm not sure where I would put them all. I would like to start some sort of collection where I would buy a piece each time I go to WDW but just haven't found the right thing yet. I was hoping it would be Arribas Bros. , but the affordable ones were just so small!

What do others collect (besides pins or pennies?)

I have the jeweled crystal cinderella. My boyfriend got it for me in 2005. I was eyeing it all throughout the trip, but it was too expensive for my souvineir budget, so he surprised me with it!! I love it so much!

OMG--I've never seen such a collection in all of my life!! Where did you get all those pieces? That looks like a LOT of money. I am intrigued by some of it. At first-I thought the glass etching was in the case. But, after looking closer---it appears you actually bought it! Where did you get those? Do you have a larger or more of a close-up photo of the first one you posted (with all the arribas bros figures?). How do you manage to keep this so clean and dust-free too!? It's an amazing collection, very impressive. Are the glass items all "crystal" ones from the palace? The miniature gold clocks are adorable. The castle, is one of my #1 favorites (but so expensive). Is the heart in the third photo (etched with M&M) a paperweight? If so, please tell me where you found this item. Thanks so much for sharing your photos.

marathonmommy--we have a small collection of keychains (from Disney parks), as well as the pins. I too--find the Arribas bros. merchandise amazing, but too expensive. Yes, they are small too! I still love to look at all of them sitting in the cases--and dream of just buying what ever I want. LOL.
