MiniMadWoman Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Oh, that's so cute! There's going to be some happy people here!! Is 1/144th the size of house that can fit into a 1/12th house? Seems by the measurements it could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroJivvy Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I sent them a note a couple of days ago to ask if it was ready yet (web site said "coming soon")... haven't heard back from them, guess I'll just have to try buying one.

nuttiwebgal Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 when I ordered my Garfield from them when it was first posted on the site and said soon comming or something like that I got it in about 2 weeks. much excitement for me...but Ill wait till Miniatures.com gets it. wonder if this one will go through the name change the Garfield did? it had 2 or 3 different names before going back to the Garfield. crazy!

MicroJivvy Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 If you don't have coupons for miniatures.com, Deb at minikitz.com has the best prices I have found for NESM products -- beats the sales lots of other sites have (though wouldn't beat a 50% off coupon).

nuttiwebgal Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Deb at minikitz.com has the best prices hey thanks Ill have to go check it out! I do not have any little "insanity" in my drawers. thats what my family calls them. although I do have 4 of the micro kits from the convention. Im still to intimidated by them to work on them. they mock me from their drawer :lol: I really love those little houses. but I feel so guilty that I didnt do the right thing by them when I look at others who have not only decorated but also furnished them! WOW! I like the houses coz I thought hey no one expects them to be decorated untill I found my way to Micro minis on yahoo. yall rock! nutti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroJivvy Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I like the houses coz I thought hey no one expects them to be decorated untill I found my way to Micro minis on yahoo. lol -- SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. If you check my web site, you'll see the first Queen Anne I did is UNFURNISHED. Then I found the Microminis group on Yahoo! and all was lost!

MicroJivvy Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I just just chatted with the good folks at NESM and the Beacon Hill will not be available until after the first of the year, but they are taking pre-orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I wonder if Northeastern Scale Miniatures has some kind of agreement with Greenleaf that allows them to use the house designs / names of Greenleaf's houses? Just curious. I've been wondering ever since the Garfield was released. They (I think it's them) have one that looks similar to a Fairfield, too, but it's not called Fairfield. (EDIT: I'm talking about this one.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Man Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 It's all news to me Emily. I'll check around to see if anyone else talked to them, but I imagine I would have heard about it. EDIT: Well I might have been a little quick to respond. I better check with my sister Lisa before I act so surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Me, too, Emily. If I ever get to build a Garfield, that is the one micro-house kit I want to build, be a dh for the dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I had mentioned this to Dean & Lisa but I did not have pictures at the time and was unsure if they knew about it too. Those two Cats are so busy I am surprised and flattered they listen to me at all ;) (I can keep chattering for days LOL). Now that I see the beacon hill, Oh...I just noticed Dean responded. Let us know Dean. We'll Ban them if they are stealing your designs!! :o we are loyalists here! I was wondering why you all would make these and not do it in 1/2" scale (Emily and I want a 1/2" scale beacon hill & Willowcrest :lol: Hint, Hint....) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatColorado Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I want a 1/2" scale Arthur, now how cute would THAT be?! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fov Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Yes, I would love a 1/2" Beacon Hill! :o I want a 1/2" scale Arthur, now how cute would THAT be?! I imagine it would be about half as cute as the 1/4" Arthur that comes in the Greenleaf Village. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatColorado Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Very funny :o :lol: Actually, I would be happy with any of the designs as long as they were offered in 1/24th! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Dean, have you noticed that this subject keeps coming up about the 1/2" scale kits?;) Greenleaf kits rock!!! if you could rescale 1 new house per year (or even every 18 months) we would LOVE you even more. My husband would be nicer to me too because the boxes that I horde would be smaller too :o. Okay, I'll go to bed and dream of 1/2" scale dollhouses now....... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Especially since there are 1:24 furniture kits!!! Wouldn't a 1:24 Brookwood be fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about inspiration for those dreams... ;) Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I would love a 1/2" Brookwood. :lol: Town Square Miniatures has recently released a bunch more half scale furniture sets, and Miniatures.com seems to have new half scale items with every catalogue. I think this would be the perfect time for Greenleaf to release some new half scale houses. :o *nudges Dean* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless1 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 *gives Dean another nudge* A 1:24 Glencroft or Harrison would be a huge thrill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
