Last year amazon had then in the lighting deals the same price as Walmart. I bought one for my niece. I would watch out for that

I would like something from here... cant buy it yet though. What are their shipping charges

Subtotal : $6.99 Shipping Charges : $4.99 Total Charges : $11.98 https://www.dailysteals.com/Default.aspx

Toys r us has a bin with cheaper games as well. I have been to a few stores and normally I find the bins in the larger ones. I got my kids last year The Naked Brothers band wii game with Microphone and the Samba de Amigos for $5 each.

Walmart. A few years back I went to get a foosball table for my nephews. We all went in and the lanes were so packed I decided to move my pocketbook to my front side. It was then that I realized that it had been opened and my coin purse, where I happen to have the money for what I was to buy at Walmart, was gone. I did notify the security and they wrote down the description of the coin purse in case that they found it somewhere but I never got the call. Luckily not all my Blackfriday money was in there.

Here is a deal that I think is worth the trip. From last year's experience, I was able to get items priced matched in Target and use their coupons along with manufacturers coupons. Please note: you have to bring Toys r us toy book to show at target. Target's sale price $49.99 Toys r us price: $39.99 Target's Coupon Book: $10.00 off Manufacturer's coupon: $5.00 off expires 11/30 http://www.leapfrog.com/en/landingpages/Leapster2_coupon_4_14_10.html Final Price should be $24.99 + tax http://TRUS.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-4741890dt.jpg http://TRUS.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-4741881dt.jpg

I was checking out the sears blackfriday specials and they will have the dsi with Mario karts (not XL) for 149.99. I dont that so bad

Its very similar to the entertainment book and normally sold by the schools to raise money. It contains many many coupons to different attractions, places, and food stores.

Correction to my post: We have the Iphone 3G and it works fine. :)

I thought about this question yesterday and brought it up to my husband who is into technology and is also a teacher. He talked about the applications available in this device and how they can benefit a child. Specifically, he used my son (10 yrs old) as an example and how we ask for him to practice his math 30 minutes each day. My husband mention that this device has math applications that would probably simplify math for kids in general. I think I was more looking for an answer towards the educational side of it and I understand that in that sense it is definitively a benefit to a child. In terms of teaching them responsibility... I struggled with this one. I could only come up with "they will learn to be responsible by caring for the item" and I think that there are much simpler ways of doing that. I think a pet could probably accomplish that with the added bonus of teaching them compassion and understanding. Responsibility from a 7 or 8 year old child, to me, is more about their actions toward their people around them(learn to respect them, understand them etc), the schoolwork, and their shores, etc. I also thought about how I will probably teach them, by allowing them, to give in to peer pressure (buying it because everyone else does) or allowing them to be envious. Maybe Im just thinking too deep into it. I also understand that this could just be as simple as an entertainment device. What does a typical 8 year old do with the Ipod Touch? Im loving the discussion btw.

They do have nice things. I have bought things from there that toysrus sells for 3x the price. I thought I should mention that the kidstuff book has a $5 off coupon with a purchase of $25

We have the 3G and it works fine with it

Im almost in shock with this thread :shock: This is just an opinion of course but I cannot understand how a 7 or 8 year old can value such an expensive item, especially because I have an 8 year old and I know how immature he still is (I like it that way though). I have this mentality with the cell phones as well (I dont think a child should have a phone unless he is from a broken family and needs to communicate with the absent parent, other than that we know where our kids are at all times). I must be getting old. Please please persuade me!! :)

Target has it in their stores and online w/ free shipping for $19.99 http://www.target.com/s?keywords=Magic+Orbeez+Maker&searchNodeID=1038576%7C1287991011&ref=sr_bx_1_1&x=16&y=16

I didnt see a size chart. Does anyone know if they are true to size.

I vote for the camera. I have an 8 and 10 year old and they often ask for things that their friends have but once they have it becomes the it toy for the day and then it lays around forgotten. Although the Ipod touch is a great device I think it is more for adults. Good luck!

I just received an email with the toy book link from five below. Here it is http://fivebelow.richfx.com.edgesuite.net/presentation/media/ToyBook10/

These people are quick. I already received the email saying that the item is ready for pick up.

lol The reviews say that the kids love it. It might not be fun for an adult but I guess it fulfills its purpose of entertaining the kids. I bought it for my nieces.

Last Year Ebay had this for $29.99 during november or december (not sure) as one of their daily specials. I bought one for my nephew for Christmas. I am hoping they come down again.

I just checked the xoxo website and there is a notice that the jacket is sold out
