New Cards!

       There are new Valentines and Easter itty bitty cards coming out! There is a double sided Thing 1 & 2 itty bitty in one of the Valentines cards. For the Easter cards they are bringing back Springtime Mickey and Minnie! That is great since they, especially Minnie, are so hard to find! Other ones to note are Peter Rabbit again, Little Bo Peep's lamb, and Easter Snoopy (all of which were only available in storybook sets).

Peter Cottontail

        A surprise one the Peter Cottontail storybook set is now available in the online store. He looks adorable! See him HERE! If you see any new ones in your local stores let me know! I have heard that Jiminy Cricket is out even though he isn't online yet.

Chip & Dale

  The Chip & Dale 2-pack is now available online! See Here

Also a lot of the new itty bittys baby blankets and stackers have been added as well.

More Shopping and tips

     The last post about places to find itty bittys seemed to be helpful.  I have learned about some more online stores that sell itty bittys, mainly for Australia and the United Kingdom. The new Links are listed at the top of the lists. I will include all the stores from the old post, so they are all in one place. If you know of a place to purchase itty bittys online, please share it in the comments!

Black Panther

Black Panther is now available in the online store! See Here

50% off Sale!

   

       Hallmark is re-designing the itty bittys sections in stores (or at least corporate stores) and they are clearing out lots of the itty bittys to make room for the new ones. There are lots of itty bittys on sale online now. Some Itty bittys, clippys, biggys, boxed sets, and books are 50% off! Take a look HERE.
 
    The re-design is probably the reason there are no biggys or jumbos on this year's checklist. I hear there are hanging shelves that fit the normal size.

Black Panther

    The Black Panther limited edition itty bitty is showing up in Hallmark's Valentines advertising and the movie is being released in theaters next month. So I think we can expect him to be a release for February.

Available Online

Pinocchio and the Elena of Avalor clippy set in online!
UPDATE: Pinocchio is currently sold out.

Coupon Alert!

  

      Looks like when you make an order online this month (not sure how long, but I would image all month) that you get a 20% off coupon for March. It's 20% off your total purchases and good from 3/1 - 3/31, can be used in-store or online. I bought a couple of the Christmas clearance and got it.

Minecraft

     Placeholders for the 4 Minecraft characters (Alex, Creeper, Zombie Pigman, and Steve) itty bittys are up in the online store. They are all regular itty bittys, so they are 6.95. So keep an eye out for them to be in stock soon. See Here

UPDATE: They are now in stock.

2018 Checklist!

    The digital version of the 2018 itty bitty checklist has been posted on the Hallmark website. At first glance I don't see anything different than the pictures we saw before (I was hoping for some more release dates), but it's printable and easier to read. See it HERE, the link for it is also up under the checklist tab at the top.

 Some observations:
1. The Peanuts itty bittys say 'mystery characters' underneath. So we could be seeing the mystery Easter eggs again and maybe pumpkins (?) for the Halloween ones.
2. Han, Chewbacca, and R2-D2 are going to be in blister packs.
3. There isn't an online exclusive listed for May, but they don't give a date on R2-D2 in blister pack. So maybe for May the 4th?

That dates they do give:
January: Online Ex. - Yondu
February: Online Ex. - Planet of the Apes 2-pack
March: Online Ex. - 2001 Space Oydassy
April: Limited Edition - Lobot, Online Exclusive - Dr Strange
June: Online ex. - Edna Mode
August: Limited Edition - Sailboat Willie, Minnie, Online ex. - Pete, Oswald
September: Online Ex. - Walking Dead 2-pack, Limited Ed. - Walking Dead 2-pack
October: Limited Ed, - Mulan, Mushu, Online Ex. - Nightmare trick-or-treaters set
November: Online Exclusives- Mirror Kirk, Mirror Spock , Limited Ed. - Ralph, Vanellope, Christmas Story 2-pack, Christmas Vacation



Other News: I have updated the complete list of itty bittys under the checklists tab. As always if you see an error let me know.

The other 3 NHL itty bittys and Murky & Lurky Storybook is available online.
