A couple of weeks ago I was surfing around the internet and found this site:
http://www.teenbeddingrus.com/store-products-LUH--116-Donald-Duck-Twin-Fleece-Blanket_1097948683.html
I was happily surprised to see an Uncle Scrooge blanket for sale, although at the time it was only listed as a Donald Duck blanket. Unfortunately it said the the blanket was out of stock.
I called one of the two phone numbers listed in blue on yellow background on the side bar anyways. I got a voice mail that said to leave my name, phone number, and what I was interested in. I did just that and said I wanted to know if there was any way to get one of these blankets, even though it was listed as out of stock.
The next day a woman named Deb called me back. I told her I was interested in the "Donald Duck" blanket. I also told her that it was really an Uncle Scrooge blanket instead of a Donald Duck one. She said that she thought that they were available, and that she would call me back and let me know the next day. I talked to Deb the next day, and she said it *was* available, despite what the website said. I gave her my info and credit card number and ordered it.
I just got the blanket in the mail today. I had to sign for the blanket and it came from somewhere in Asia, I think China.
It looks absolutely gorgeous -- just like the picture on the website! Perhaps $69.99 would be too expensive for most people, but I was just thrilled as I never in my wildest dreams thought of having an Uncle Scrooge blanket!
The website still lists it as out of stock. However, now along with being listed as a Donald Duck blanket, it is also listed as an Uncle Scrooge blanket! :) I told her that if I liked the blanket that I thought I knew some other people that might be interested in getting one. So if you are interested, give the number a call and I imagine there is a good chance you can get one even though it is listed as out of stock. If anyone does order one, I would love to hear here on the DCF what you think of it.

Looks interesting! :) But where do you get that it's out of stock?
At the top, it says "Check In Stock - Out of Stock (Look Below)," and then, below the price, it says: "Availability: Usually ships 7-14 Days"
Maybe you misinterpreted that (a bit weirdly formulated) "Check whether in or out of stock" message? ;)

Hi Jano! When I originally looked at the site and when I bought it, it was listed as out of stock. I see now that this has changed and now it is listed as available.

Ah, that explains it. :)
I'm not sure whether or not to buy one. It looks pretty fun, but $70 plus another $70 for shipping to German? I dunno. Maybe I'll contact them to see if they've cheaper shipping methods available.
