Thomas Kinkade's Wonderland Express Miniature Snow Globe Collection



I know that people say the holiday season comes more quickly every year, but isn't June a little extreme? Today's post is on Thomas Kinkade's Wonderland Express Miniature Snow Globe Collection, which was featured in the coupon pamphlet in the Sunday paper this week. The train set features "the magic and delight of real snow globes from the Painter of Light on charming hand-crafted train cars." "Premiering with the engine", which is titled "Santa Claus is Comin' To Town, each car features a real working snow globe!" "To keep your Christmas spirit on track, the engine even plays the melody of 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas!'"


Well, I wouldn't want anything to hurt my Christmas spirit, especially in June.


There are 5 editions of the cars ('Deck the Halls", "Home for the Holidays", "Winter Wonderland", and "Silent Night Caboose"), along with the "Santa Claus is Comin' To Town" Premiere Edition engine. Each train car costs $19.99. That makes it a $99.95 set of glorified snowglobes (ooh, math). However, you are only reserving the train, which is good, because this ad was freaking me out a little. But does that mean it's too early to tell you all Happy Holidays? I'm confused. Curse you, Wonderland Express Miniature Snow Globe Collection.


What do you think? Is this snow globe train crap or treasure? Would you buy it?
