The Dicken's Village Series is celebrating 25 years. The first buildings were made in 1984. I had a one year old in 1984 and was too busy raising him to discover Dicken's Village but, there are collectors that had the good sense to start collecting in 1984 and own the first seven houses that were presented. These original seven buildings have been beautifully reinterpreted and reissued for 2009.
I'm not sure what the secondary market values are of those first seven houses issued but I suspect they are worth quite a bit of money.
The best part of the story is that although the original collection is valuable, the real value has been in the enjoyment, memories and celebrations over the past 25 years. Decorations and collections add to our enjoyment of the Holidays. Beautiful memories are made when family and friends gather for holiday celebrations in a wonderfully decorated environment. May all your gatherings be memorable!
