My Walmarts are stocked to the hilt of them. Toys R us has them too in stock. My daughter asked for one, but Im not buying it. She has 10+ dolls she never looks at. Several were in this price range too.
Never had any neighbors who have asked me to buy anything. If they did, I wouldn't mind as long as it was at the store I was going too and they gave me cash up front. I would let them know though, I come first and once I get my items then I would pick up theres. lol
Im always inside Walmart by midnight. A tad too early last year, but at least I got my BF items (they opened pallets at Midnight and you could put in cart but not checkout till 6am) and still had time to get my price matched items. Picked a few grocery items I needed too. LOL
Im not sure if I would camp out like people with Best Buy. I usually go out by midnight so thats earliest I will. I've never been to Best Buy first. Walmart yes though. Mine is open 24 hours and I go to the one people seem to forget about. The new one that was built is where everyone seems to run too.
If the item is in new condition and all parts are there and working, it doesn't matter (personally there is no reason to tell the recipient about where you got it!)
I started buying items now. I would kick myself if I waited and if it didn't go on sale as I thought OR that it sold out and on back order, etc. So if you are sure your kids want it, I'd get it. You just never know
The only store I could price match last year was Walmart. I took advantage expecially on the Walgreens ad. Got the instant coffee for 1.99 regularly $7 and the revon lipsticks. Also got price matched on some toys.
I'd go to Toys R Us now. Buy 1 get 1 free 19.99 or over. Great deal. My kids are too big for little tykes, but I loved this sale when they were young enough
