Help finding a holiday decoration

Submitted by poseidon7902 on

About 10 years ago I was in an Mden store and they had an under the tree U of M train set.  I couldn't afford that at the time ($300), but for the past few years have been looking for it again.  Mden people I talk to must be too new to the job because they just look at my cross eyed when i ask about it.  Does anyone have this set?  online doesn't come up with any results, but my search paramaters are rather broad.  if someone has this can you please provide some details (Maker, model etc...).  If someone has it and wants to sell it, let me know.  

I did find this, but don't think it's the same thing.

Get creative and make your own.  Get a good train set and customize it.  Much more satisfying in the end, plus then you can any train set you want.

Just found the picture online, and I believe it is from the Danbury Mint Collection, a search turned up a couple of old EBay auctions. I guess you could call their customer service if this is the trainset you are looking for...? If I can find this at home, I will get you more specific information latter, but I can't make any promises.

Maybe just wander aimlessly around Bronner's until you get lost and end up forgetting about the set since you'll be more concerned about survival at that point.

I bought this set a few years ago, and it was marked down significantly. I haven't seen it since. (I live in AA and stop by MDen fairly regularly.)

EBay (Wan) may be your only hope.

Speaking of bowl game stuff, I have a big collection of Michigan bowl game glasses going back to the early 80's.   They all have the bowl game logo, year, and teams on the front, and the scores of all the games on the back.  Some years recently I haven't been able to buy them any more -probably because no one made them.

On the same lines--does anyone know where I can get one of those stuffed "wolverines" that stands up and sort of dances to hail to the victors and let's go blue? Can't find them anymore :(
