Help! I need to find a special antenna topper.

[MerryPoppins]

DS is about to get his first car. Well actually, it's going to be our car, but it is for him to drive. I think we have found the one. It's a red Honda Civic. Just about right for a high school kid.

Here is the problem. He is a competitive swimmer and he's into everything Hawaiian. He wants a Lilo antenna topper for his new car. The ones that have the tropical flowers all over them. I have a lime green DIS one, but I'm not giving it up. Anyone know where I can still find one? The only one I see on ebay is hot pink and I don't think he'd go for that (besides it wouldn't look good with a red car). Would I have any luck calling the Disney folk or has it been too long since they sold them? I don't see any toppers at disneystore.com. Do they still have them in the parks?

Thanks for any help you can give me. His birthday is in a month and it'd be a fun addition to his gifts.

Try e-bay

Try December99 (hee hee hee Chris) she is the GURU of antenna toppers. You could also try calling WDW Merchandising, they may still have them in Orlando.

If I venture out this weekend, and get by the DS (I hope it's still there ), I'll look for one. I'll PM you if I find it.

I PM'd Dec99 and haven't heard back from her yet. Thought she'd be the most likely person to ask.

So far, I've had no luck on Ebay, although I'm bidding on a couple more for my collection.

Thanks iNTeNSeBLue98. I appreciate you looking for me. I checked last time I was at our store and they didn't have any.

If I don't have any luck in the next few days, I'll give Disney a call. They helped me find the Minnie dressed as Lilo beanbag when DD *HAD* to have one. My Disney Store didn't even know what she was talking about.

You guys are great. Any other ideas of where I might look? Is there a location where people trade or sell the toppers besides Ebay?

Didn't see the specific one you are looking for, but here's a link to MouseShoppe that has lots of toppers:

Antenna Topper


Hope you find one that works for you!

 

[MerryPoppins]

Thanks for the link. They have the California Adventure one that would be his second choice. It's the one with the sunglasses. I bookmarked it in case I can't find the other one.

shameless bump

Does anyone else know of any other sites that sell antenna toppers?

 

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

Thanks for sending me to TDS today . Plush, and most of the store, was 50% off!! I picked up DD's birthday present, Stitch plush was only $8 and I got a tee for $8. for me.

They are all out of hawaiian antenna toppers here too.

 

[MerryPoppins]

Thanks for looking. Glad it was a productive trip.

I'll be at WDW Jun 3-12. WOOHOO!

I'd be happy to keep my eye open for one. If I stumble across one, I'll pick it up. If you've found one by then you can have another as a spare.

I have a purple one still in the package, would he want a purple one? I had a green one, but I put it on my car about 3 weeks ago.

MerryPoppins, I pm'd you.

Ebay, would be my only advice, unless someone on the DIS has one they are willing to part with. The Disney Store only keeps antenna balls for a few months and they go onto something new.

Mouseshoppe has some cute / hard to find topper and other park merchandise, but I would only go to them as last resort. I just got done dealing with them after they sent the WRONG ONE It took over a week to get an answer/response from them, and then they gave a bunch of excuses and lies to cover for the bad costumer service.

I have one of stitch holding onto the antenna with his hands & teeth... but it's so old now it's all gross.

 

[MerryPoppins]

Elgerber, I sent you a PM. Purple makes him nervous, too. I thought anything but pink was acceptable. Guess it's anything but pink and purple. LOL! Still looking for the flowered ones.

Good luck! Those came out last year, and haven't been in the stores for months now... I have a slightly used reddish one... I also have the DCA Sunshine Mickey -- it's pretty cool! Very BIG for an antenna topper. I highly recommend it if you can't find Stitch.

A big thank you to big-hearted DIS friends. I'll soon have the California Adventure and a flowered Lilo topper for him. You guys are the best. Thanks for all the help!
