I can't see how they can charge $70 when you can get the exact same box at Sams Club for $40! I know, I just bought them last weekend for my 3-month old!
(ANd yes, I was perterbed that my order was cancelled too)
My son has had his for 2 years and still absolutely loves it. We've never had a problem with it, and my daughter has started trying to play with it now (she's 2-1/2). We just got him the handheld version so that he can play on long driving trips or hanging out in his room.
It is the BEST gift he has ever received. I highly recommend it!
Target is pretty ridiculous with their shipping charges -- I found a kid's kitchen set I liked there online and they wanted $185 to ship it. I found the same set elsewhere online with a $30 shipping charge (and other sites with more reasonable shipping charges).
