List of NAO 2009 Retirements
(As of December 31)

It's a short list this year, with only a couple of older items retiring, along with a few more "Cheeky Cherubs" and items from the "Where Do Babies Come From?" series. (Those of you who are regular visitors to this web site will know I find the retirement of anything from the latter two series no great loss to the retail market!)

"Little Duck" (NAO #242) is the last of a series of four whimsical white NAO ducks to be retired. It is also one of only two (both models of ducks) older NAO items to be retired in 2009.
