Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to clean Department 56 Village items?
They recommend using a soft brush or feather duster to remove surface dust. Collectors also find a hair dryer on a low, cool setting or canned air effective. Avoid liquid sprays or soapy water solutions, as they may damage the finish.
Can I get a replacement box for my Village piece?
Unfortunately, they do not have extra boxes available. If an original box is lost or damaged, it is recommended to store the piece in a clean, sturdy cardboard box with adequate packaging material.
How often are new introductions for the Villages announced?
New introductions are typically announced twice each year: a main introduction in January (products available by summer) and a smaller mid-year introduction in late Spring (items available by the holiday season).
How should I choose which Village to collect?
The most enjoyable aspect of collecting is selecting items that personally appeal to you. Many collectors choose buildings and accessories that evoke fond memories of past holidays or remind them of favorite travel destinations.
What is the best way to store my Village pieces and accessories?
They recommend storing collectibles in a temperature-controlled area (50-80 degrees F) using large plastic containers to prevent dampness. Avoid attics or places that get too warm, as extreme temperatures can negatively affect electrical components and animated parts.
