LOVE LOVE LOVE the Target ad!! I also like some things that were added to the Wally Ad, but I will still go to Target. My kids will love the stuff, I want the Barbie ATM, the Dora Cash Register, The Little Pet Shop sets, and the VSmile games!!! Gotta go to Wally still for the Vsmiles themselves. We have one, but need another.

sigh.......its going to be a rough morning for me at Walmart. I need a Spongebob tv, and a Dora tv, and two of the Vsmiles. Wonder where they will have it all set up................

I havent been to the Mills in about a year, but there is a Disney Store at Crestwood. If that helps anyone. You can usually find good deals there throughout the holiday season. Thats one of the few remaining stores at Crestwood too, they are losing leases like crazy.

Not impressed at all. sigh. Guess its Walmart and Target for me. Although, not really that impressed with Walmart either. Maybe Target will come through for me..

Okay, if we are still talking about the console unit, mine doesnt run on batteries? Its got the plug in for the wall........... I dont know, i lost track back in the thread, lol........but since thats the one on Blitz, i was guessing. The Pockets require batteries and/or the adaptor, but the console does not. I was going to get my girls Pockets for Christmas, but if i can get another console for 30.00, then they will each have one of those in their rooms, and we wont NEED the Pockets. So either way, its a good deal for me. I might even grab one for the house at the lake, for that price!

The older kids in the family want money, so thats not a shopping deal. Grandparents and parents are getting gift cards. I finished the three small kids in the family. All I really need to do on Friday is MY kids. And I will have some fun. I keep seeing things i want for them, but tell myself to wait til Friday, cause you know if you get it now, it will be dirt cheap that day. I shouldnt have actually bought ANY of the other three kids stuff either, yet..........except I dont think any of those things would be on the list this year. I did go to TRU yesterday and get a bunch of the B1G1 Color Wonder sets, my kids love them, as well as the other three small ones.

oooh, where are they going to discount the Pockets? Any idea? I have only seen them as low as 69.99 so far. We have the main system already, and most of the 4-6 age games, and would LOVE to have the newer games and the Pockets for Christmas. I was hoping the Pockets might actually be a doorbuster this year............that would be great, since i need TWO!!

We bought ours last Christmas, it was at Sams with two controllers, Alphabet Park and Scooby Doo games. I think my mom paid 69.99 for it........ Its been great, the kids love it. We have never had any problems yet. I was looking at the handheld ones this year since you can use the same games.

Love the Cardinal eating that damn Cheetah, Mom.........lol.......... All of the Wendys that I ever knew of are gone, St Louis must have been a bad market for that.

Good call about the Art Chest on BF. I have gotten that two years running now, lol. Also a "for sure" item is always the FP Doctors Kit for 4.99....lol. I have also bought that one a few times, lol. I want the Plug n Play games, buy 2 get 1 free, my girls are really into these right now, and my nephew is 4 also, so he likes them too. Its a good deal. I hope they go with the VSmile games on BF, i sure could use a good deal on those!

I had no idea that Walmart was starting at 5am this year..........sigh..... They usually do 6am, right? I know that the few years I have been going, its always been TRU open first, before anyone else...... Ah, well, maybe we will have to change our starting place, and do Walmart first.......although with the lines they normally have, I may not get it anyway..sigh Thanks for that, I didnt realize they opened this year at 5am......

Okay, so this is the first year that Walmart really has stuff that I want....in the TOY section. <sigh> Always the hardest place to get to, of course. I need Cabbage Babies, the Video Nows, the mushroom chairs, and some other bits and pieces. Too much to simply carry............ So, my question to the professionals around here (grin) is......... What can i do to get through the crowd and make sure I get what i want! We start at TRU at 5am, and are generally done and parked outside of Walmart before 6am.........there are terribly long lines at Walmart, but they move quickly......... So how do I go about this without getting beaten/run over/etc..........

We ALL love the Big Book!!!!!! woo hoo............

I think that the 79.99 Kitchen is just part of the regular ad. Not meant to be doorbuster. Watch for TRU, they have specials a lot, you just have to watch for anything Dora to be on sale..........

I usually tell my sister and mom to make a list. LOL. My MIL always says shes going to have me do hers too, but she never has yet.............maybe this year. I dont usually mind getting things for other people, as long as they realize, if its gone, its gone.............

yeah, even though I LOVE the advanced looking, I still love looking through the ads on Thanksgiving...............theres nothing like seeing it in print to make it a reality! LOL

Our TRU always has Krispy Kremes, I dont know about Coffee since i dont like it anyway, but I bet he does give that out too....

Thanks for that! My nephew is huge on Power Rangers right now, lol.......

oh, and the Star Station too. My girls will LOVE it.

I want the CP dolls, the Care Bears, the stick vac, the Garth CD collection, the Mermaid Barbies and the batteries............LOL. And anything else that catches my eye.

Usually up around 4:30 and at TRU by 5. Back home after shopping by 2pm.

I try to stick to a budget, but you know............it just ends up getting blown anyway.

I go with a friend. She has to leave her house at 3am to get here by 4:45.....we are waiting in front of TRU at 4:45, since they have been opening at 5 the last two years, even though the ad says 5:30...............lol.

TRU, Walmart and Target are my favorites. Also like Sears for the men in the family........lol

Me me me......lol Two for my girls. One for my niece, one for my nephews daughter, and one for my best friends daughter. Depends on how many i can grab.......lol They are so cute. I have 12 of the originals from 83, and my girls each have one from last Christmas.
