It's the same case for me here! I remember, a few years ago, seeing a
DuckTales cel hanging there, but that was about as close to Scrooge-related
merchandise I had seen.
Even in Disney World is Scrooge merchandise hard to come across. About four
years ago, when I was there, I bought a small Scrooge plush toy (I was ten at
the time, I believe), which was the only merchandise I had seen throughout
the entire park.
To top it all off, it was thrown in the bin with the really obscure, minor
characters from various Disney films. Argh!
