This is very good news. Congrats on getting to the next step with
the Disney Models. I for one can not wait till they come out on the
market!!

I'd also love to hear which models you may think of adding in the
future as well!! Maybe Cinderella's castle? Maybe a roller coaster
like Matterhorn, or Big Thunder Railroad...who knows!! All I know is
that what ever models you add in the future will more than likely be
purchased by me!

Keep up the great work!
