Finding quirky Labyrinth things
Where to begin? Posters, photos and lobby cards to magazines, comic books, stuffed toys and board games for starters! And that's not including all the stuff everyone forgot about. Obviously Labyrinth was the predecessor of the modern mass marketed Disney film, minus the happy meal Ludo and Firey beenie baby. But how can you resist 80's toys, even an itty bit? Even the idea of Labyrinth cereal box stickers seems cute! No one knows the exact type and amount of items available, but visit Walter's site, Think Labyrinth! The Movie for an excellent guide.
Go online shopping! Ebay is the biggest and best. Most other sites do not have a lot (if any) Labyrinth merchandise. Bidding is absolutely ferocious. If it’s a hot item, expect no less than 10 bids and expect only to get the item if you stay online at the moment of auction close (personal experience: I have been outbidded even after placing a bid with only 1 minute to go). My ebay tips: bid close to the auction end date and bid the whole amount you are willing to pay for it! It saves a lot of heartbreak if you don't go as high as you would like and lose due to lack of time.
