Trillium Village Collectors Club of Ontario: What does a beer hall, a house of dolls, an airport and a bat cave have in common?

Established in 1994, Trillium Village Collectors Club is one of Canada's oldest Department 56 collector clubs.  We are based in Toronto but have club members all over the province of Ontario.

The objective of our club is to provide a meeting place for club members to share the joy and excitement of their hobbies and to share display ideas featuring their favourite collectibles.  All collectors and retailers of Department 56 Village and Holiday products are welcome to join the club.  Club membership also includes an informative newsletter mailed physically or electronically to each club member every other month.  Membership form is available for download on the "About Us" page.

Trillium Village Collectors Club is a not-for-profit organization.  Although we appreciate support from our retailer members, the club is not affiliated with any Department 56 retailers.

What does a beer hall, a house of dolls, an airport and a bat cave have in common?

Happy New Year!!! Wishing all our readers a healthy and joyful 2019!!!

So, are there any guesses to the answer for the question above?
I suppose the answer is frankly quite obvious. Department 56 will be announcing the latest Village and Snowbabies introduction for 2019 any time now. Included in the list of new Village pieces are:

a beer hall (Linderbrau Beer Hall – Alpine Village)
a house of dolls (Dalton's House of Dolls – Snow Village Halloween Collection)
an airport (Blue Skies Airport – Snow Village)
a bat cave (The Batcave – Hot Properties Village)

Below are the photographs of these 4 buildings plus a few more and some Snowbabies figurines. Maybe 2019 will become another exciting new year for Department 56 collectors? What do you think?
