Don't know why you are getting that. I think you can disable notifications to stop it. I'll forward your report to the developers.

Next year Black Friday is on 11/29, so the wait will be extra-long... (unless the stores get impatient and move it up to the 22nd, hehe)

Got an e-mail from the printer last night. They plan to print these on Monday and then will deliver them to me at some point next week.

I had a conference call a couple weeks ago and they said they planned to have more inventory for their Black Friday specials online so that the better items should be able to be ordered through Thursday and/or Friday instead of selling out right away on Wednesday.

Yes, if you can scan (or take a really clear photo), send me a PM and I'll let you know where to send it.

We've posted the Kmart book on the site: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/MoreSales/KmartToyBook Thanks to ytmomof4 to sending that over. Some of the pics might be tough to make out because they were taking with a cell phone, but I'm sure a cleaner version will show up soon enough. You can still make out pretty much everything and if you have questions, post them here and those who already have the book can probably answer them for you.

If anyone gets a copy and wants to scan/e-mail it to me, send me a PM

Macy's sent an e-mail today asking that any BF info be removed, so we'll see what becomes of that.

If someone else has a copy and can scan it and e-mail it over, send me a PM

We've also posted it on the BF site with the rest of the toy catalogs.

Got an e-mail from Kohl's:

How to enter: just reply to this thread with a Black Friday-themed haiku. For those unfamiliar with it, a haiku is a 3-line poem with the first, second and third lines having 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively. It does not have to rhyme, but should create some kind of imagery in the reader's head, so be creative! An example Black Friday haiku would be: people skipping lines (5 syllables) crashing carts into others (7 syllables) glad i stay at home (5 syllables) Limit one entry per member (although you can post as many haikus as you'd like). Entries will be accepted until 9pm ET on Sunday night. At that point I'll randomly choose 5 entries and those members will receive Black Friday t-shirts! Good luck to all! http://i.gottadeal.com/main/images/merch/ideas/bfshirt2012.gif

Once again, these will ship during the first 2 weeks of November. We just had someone open a PayPal dispute even though I made the delivery timeframe clear in the original pre-order thread as well as this thread yesterday morning. If you open a dispute, your order could eventually get cancelled/refunded and then I'll be giving away your reserved shirts to others, so please just be patient. As I've said all along you'll get your shirts in plenty of time for Black Friday

I'm thinking Ace Hardware should be out this week.

Yeah you'll get them in mid-November or earlier. I'm supposed to get them from the printer next week and then I have to pack them all up, label the packages, etc... Keep in mind that I have to do all of that while I'm dealing with any BF ads that come out, so if we get extremely busy with new ads, it could take a few more days to get them to you, but you'll have them in time for BF. I'll keep this thread open and use it for status updates when I have something to report

Hard to know if it's for Black Friday or another upcoming weekly sale. They have those Saturday sales that usually have some TV's.

Thanks to Cindi for sending this one to me last night Here's the link to the PDF (24MB): http://i.gottadeal.com/blackfriday/scans/GottaDeal-TRUBigToyBook-BF2012.pdf Or you can browse it on the BF site: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/MoreSales/TRUBigToyBook
