Furberry You can find (usually) at TRU in the preschool section neart Little T and Fisher Price items. Try Target for the Polly Pocket Jet. They had them for the best price (without a sale). If you have a Kohl's near you they are having a great sale on toys. Usually have a ton of Polly stuff. Walmart best price for Tooth Tunes. If all else fails they sell them at TRU also. Good luck!

We have gotten (will get) several mp3 players this christmas. I was going to download some songs to them so they can use them when first opened. Where is the best place (cheapest), legal, easiest site to download music from? Thanks!

Not sure if you have one in your areas but Boscov's sells a lot of Croc items, shirts, pants, backpacks, and even the shoes. :)

Thanks, we do have a 5 below. I will check them and Kohl's out also. Thanks again for everyones help.

Thanks I am going to give L&T a try.

Hi! got the kids mp3 players. Started looking for a great deal on ipod/mp3 pillows. Found a great deal at KB toys for 75% off. Only problem is that they were all girly ones. Did find a nice one for my DD, for $5. Now I need to find a cool one for my DS, and somehow frilly pink just won't do. :) Checked some of the retail stores like Target, Walmart, etc. I either am not looking in the right place or they don't carry them. Wondering if other stores like Kohl's, Penny's etc sells them. Thanks for any help.

TRU did the same thing. At first I thought it was because their toy ad ended but nope, they raised prices on things that weren't even on sale. The average price increase I saw was between $3-$7. Puzzles went from $2.99 to $4.99. Many more examples. I still have their toy book (my kids circled and study them cover to cover) so I checked on a few of the items. When they list thier sale price, they also listed the regular price. So not only did the toy book sale end, but those "regular" prices increased. I read something a few months back that there was suppose to be an industry wide toy price increase of about 10% in Jan. 08, I guess some stores started early.

It's great that Hasbrotoyshop has it in stock. Just be careful about when you need it, to when they will ship it. I placed an order with them, Paid for Priority, item stated it was in stock and to ship the next business day. My order shipped from the w. house 28 days later. The bad part was that they sent the order to the w. house within a few days, since they did that they couldn't cancel my order, or refund my money. When I called customer service their response to me was "we are very busy". That is fine, if they would have informed me of the time constraints before I placed my order, I would not have ordered from them as I need the items sooner. Just wanted to mention in case you were wanting it for a Christmas present. I have ordered from them before this time and the items arrived quickly. Good luck, I hope you are able to find one. :)

I think that the release date KB Toys listed was around 12/10 or 12/15? I am excited to hear these are showing on store shelves. KB also had listed a HM Secret Pillow Diary. And I would really like to get my hands on that one before the holiday. Thanks again to everyone for sharing great info on HM and HSM stuff.

The only store I have seen Snugglekins by Fisher Price is in TRU. Are they an exclusive? Has anyone seen them at Target, Walmart, or other stores. Thanks so much.

Hi! This is great news. Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind could you post what State are you from? I am on the East Coast and hope they show up here before the holiday. I did manage to get the Target set, but didn't order the summer set from KB Toys. Would love to run across these also. Thanks again for sharing this info.

Does anyone have pics/scans of the rest of the 12/2 TRU ad? Thanks a ton.

I was at TRU this morning. First thing. None of the 2 day deals were in stock. I then talked to a manager. She said, "they only put out what is sent on the truck". This hasn't just been happening for the holiday either. Starting back in Sept. when they had buy 2 get 1 free, or B1G1, they wouldn't have most of the stuff. I would be there first thing on Sunday when the ad came out. Nothing. Then the manager said, "call, if we have it will we hold it for 24 hours". So I left, bought nothing, came home called TRU's within 50 miles of my house. 1 TRU had 1 thing I was looking for and I asked them to hold it. I was told "no, we can't hold things, it's Christmas". Ok, why does one say they will hold things but not another. I am about as feed up with TRU as I am Walmart. I think the rest of my holiday spending will be at Target.

At Target today and they had every HSM Doll except the 2 pack with Chad. It was strange because shelf was fully stocked, to the edge, but no Chads. Just saw that KB Toys is having a sale starting Friday 11/30 and will have HSM 2 Dolls on sale. Worth a try if you have one near you. You can check out their ad online.

Do you think our DDs would buy it if we took the Walmart car and put HSM stickers on it? Could we pass it off long enough to get the pink cruiser in? Probably not, if your DD are anything like mine, they can tell you the HSM and HSM 2 movies frame by frame, and songs word for word. :)

Kmart had some HSM jackets a few weeks back. They were the short waist ones. I think they were around $40-$50, but Kmart usually has winter accessory sales every week or so. Hope you find one that you like.

Both Kmart and Walmart have the 4 pack. I think both places have it for around $13 or so. Walmart also has a set with lipgloss, bag, and other accessories in their perfume section. Also just want to take a minute and say thanks for everyone sharing info on HM stuff and HSM items. It sure has helped having extra sets of eyes out there to locate stuff. Thanks again! :)

I think the offical name is the Country Club Cruiser Vehicle. I found it on one site, not to be released until Jan. But, sometimes stores get a few things early. I would love for this to be part of Christmas.

I knew the answer about the Hannah Montana purse, but I have yet to see the High School Musical Pink Sharpay car. :) Tried several different stores, but have yet to see this one any where but ebay..Yikes.

TRU has a nice selection, one shaped like a guitar. Also, Macy's had some a while back. If you don't have any of those stores near you, then try Claire's or Limited Too. Hope this is helpful.

I had picked up some games from the toy dept about a week before BF. Took in the receipt and was given a full credit for the price difference. No questions, no problems, and even a Thank you. I am happy with my Sears experience on BF. TRU is way down the list, but my overall top retail experience has got to be hands down................TARGET.

Same thing at mine. I was there this morning @ 10am. I was very suprised to see items that they were sold out of BF, stocked. When I basked in ahhhh, the employees told me that they restocked overnight on most, if not all BF items. Wow!!!!!

Happy to say that I stayed out of my local Walmart today. But, I hope for those that did need to go, found deals.

I really enjoyed shopping at Sears today. I wasn't there at opening, but around 9am. Very helpful employees greating at the door, directing people as to where items where. Good selection of items, great deals on coats. $10 off $50 or more worked great. There were lines at checkout but moved every quickly, one person ringing, another bagging. We moved very quickly and on to other stores. Great online deals also. In MHO they stepped up their game. Now, if they can only give lesson to Kmart. LOL!

I posted in the Who is in Line Thread also. So sorry to duplicate. The crowds, the lines, the disorganization. I expected more from TRU. Zunes were gone very quickly. But I had a similar experience with TRU. This is the worst I have ever seen it. They didn't have the Transformer, but tried to give us another Cybertron thing. I kept telling the guy it wasn't the right one in the ad, so instead of telling me that they substituted he started yelling at me. We got a few games then left and went to Target. There they kept the lines organized, but it was very very very crowded.
