  1. Good Morning America had a whole segment on it this morning.  There are several fires being blamed on them already.  I think they're still investigating it though.

    Oh wow, the article mentions that no other fires have been reported, so I wasn't aware.  This one was bought through Amazon.  Be careful all!! 

     

    My neighbor told me his brother bought two for his twin 11 year boys.  One of the boys hit a crack on the sidewalk and was launched from his hoverboard breaking his elbow. 

     

    Glad none of my kids asked for one! 

  2. Not surprising.  I went to Walmart last night and it was empty.  I was shocked to see it so empty...they still had tons of stuff sitting around that had sold out online. 

     

    Next stop was Meijer, and I think I could count the number of people in the store.  Completely empty! 

     

    Target had a lot of people, even at 10 pm.  They had everything still in stock that I wanted.  Pleasantly surprised with Target, as always.

     

    Walmart's online fiasco hurt them.

     

    I went to Menard's this morning.  They were the busiest store I've been to so far.  Not opening on Thanksgiving didn't hurt them! 

     

    I'm not opposed to shopping on Thanksgiving, but I would like to see it go back to the way it was before...stores opening early on Friday.  Now Walmart is doing Cyber Monday on Sunday!  I guess they really need to make up $$$ for their debacle. 

     

    Also, the deals weren't that great...that's probably the biggest indicator for lackluster sales!

  3. Did anyone else's cc or dc get deactivated while online at walmart? I ended up having to pay with paypal because my card declined and when I called the fraud hotline they said they had thousands of cards deactivated after a decline from walmart last night! They reactivated my card this morning but I still can't use it for online purchases, only in store has it worked. My netflix came out today and I can't even pay I'v

    I have read about many, many unhappy Walmart shoppers who experienced the same thing with their credit card after last night's fiasco. 

  4. There was a 20% off coupon if you texted Toys.  It didn't work with Lego Dimensions, but the cashier manually entered $4 off 5 times, then 35% Cartwheel and 5% Red Card, which brought the total down to $45.37 with tax.  I don't know if you can price match with Cartwheel. 

    *Sigh* Wish I went shopping with you!  I never get those types cashiers! 

  5. I started BF shopping years ago.  Way before Facebook and sites like GottaDeal and when deals weren't widely broadcast.  Now it seems to me that the ads are just recycled from previous years.   I guess stores know that regardless of what they put in their ads, people will come.  People will pay whatever the price is because after all that's the BF mentality.  This year, the first in over a decade or two, I'll be shopping online.  There's nothing in the ads that entice me to stand in long lines and fight the crowds.  It's a sad day for me...I feel like this is the end of a shopping era! 

     

    I think the sales leading up to BF will be as good if not better.  Just really, really disappointed this year and not too hopeful for next year either!

     

    So talking it over last night with my husband, we decided next year in lieu of gifts, we're taking a family vacation.  I think the great deals are finally behind us...and we're starting a new tradition!

  6. Really surprised that there's not a better deal on Lego Dimensions!  Meijer has the best deal!

     

    Glad they have a trampoline this year...need a new one! 

    I'm disappointed in the price as well.

     

     

    Wow, is anyone else not impressed??

    Not overly impressed either.  Certainly not worth the wait. 

  7. I've ordered on BF on their website and never occurred any problems.  Except the one year, that prices were wrongfully put on sale...a couple of my orders went through and a couple were cancelled, but I can't fault them for that! 

     

    It's been my experience, that they only make so many of one item available at a time.  So if it shows out of stock, keep refreshing until it comes back in stock...it usually does later that day.
