4GTKIDS, It was 16.99 for the lowest seller. Think it was directly through Amazon because I also got free shipping with $25. Then it went to 30 something through etoys. I got it as soon as I saw the posting. So I was lucky. I knew it was a great deal because I had seen it at TRU for 40. So I didn't even stop to think. But now they are gone at the 16.99 deal.
