stacya

I'm on my way out the door in SE PA, and I will post when I get back...

Thanks for the clarification...I think the confusion for me was because everyone is talking about PMing Skylanders Swap Force, and obviously, that is in the BF ads...

OK, but if you have to BRING the ads, they don't come out til Thanksgiving, unless they have it posted online on the retailer's website sooner, since I suppose they'd be considered "unofficial" until then, right??

Wow, Wal-Mart is playing hardball this year...holy crap...

Do you live in PA? We have a newer one in a strip a bit of a distance from me, but when I go up that way, I always stop there--better than the mall ones, for whatever reason...

very credible source...there is a website that I am a member of, and it is all gymbo related...tracking sales, sucking up to store staff for info, etc., LOL, as well as buying and selling new and used gymbo from people...gymboplace.com...

LOL, me too...and I just got another 20% off coupon in the mail today...

I don't recall a Gymbo ad...they typically have the Jingle Deals and 30% off, but I'm hearing this year that the entire store will be 50% off, and you can stack coupons... Oh, and they're opening at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Don't know about Crazy 8, but one would think it would be a similar sale...HTH!

Disney Store...

Awesome!! Thanks so much!!

How about a poll in which someone has to guess day (and hour?) of when the first campers will be set up and spotted by either another GDer, or the news crews (since they seem to get earlier and earlier each year)...

Don't say "shame on you" if you are there to shop...retail isn't the only industry that works on holidays! I work in therapy, and I'm on call for the holiday--not a nurse, THERAPY? Who in the hell needs physical therapy that badly on a major holiday, that someone has to be on call?? But it's my job...so I will be on call, have dinner with my family early, and be at TRU before 5...my family is small, and we are done eating well before 5. My husband will be OK with my going, knowing that I get good deals when I go, AND he knows if I start out that early, I likely will not be out all night, as in previous years...

My kids really enjoy it...and we have Skylanders, Skylanders Giants, and we are getting them Swap Force for Christmas. It is very different, but my 8 year old has a friend who also has it, and even when he goes to his house, that's what they play...I think as they come out with more characters and more "adventure packs," for lack of whatever it is that they call them, they'll be more popular, as what they have out now is just kind of meh, IMO...

Did I miss Geoffrey's birthday sale this year?? I keep checking the website and have yet to see it... always thought it was in early October...

no current free shipping code for under $50??

I got one at TRU yesterday...

I'll still be here, as always!!

We got the Leap Pad 2 for dd for Christmas...we own tons of Leap Frog stuff, never any issues...one the other hand, I've had to call vtech more than once about their products...guess everyone has their own experiences...

Really? I could've sworn I already heard a radio ad for them for BF...and I *think* it said 40% off the entire store...not positive, but that's what I've had in my head all week, about when I plan to get there, since we have one in our outlet center and I HATE their lines, but for 40% off plus to stack a coupon, I'll check them out...

Thank you! I didn't know what the difference was...why can't they just be simple, and use numbers, LOL?!

One more question...what is the "jellybean" and "ice cream sandwich," I keep seeing?

I know the Nexus 7 has only the front camera, but I thought I read here that the Nexus 10 has both cameras? I was skimming, so I may have mis-read that, but in any event, dh wants me to go by reviews, and our ds IS only 7, so we don't need all of the bells and whistles, and we really don't *need* expandable memory for him...the Nexus 7 was what I was sold on, once I moved from the Nabi 2, until I started reading here, so I'm gonna go with my gut... Thanks all for the input on the Google Play card--I will pick up one of those as well...

So I think I'm still going with the Nexus...just have to ask dh if he thinks the 7 or 10 for our 7 yo...for the little difference in $$, and the rear camera too, I think that's what I'd prefer...was considering Galaxy 2 based on some recommendations here, but I see in further reading, that the Nexus got better reviews all around, so I'm sticking with my original choice. I currently have an iPod Touch, as does my dh, so I know how iTunes works, but since this is Android, do they make Android gift cards like they do iTunes? I was thinking if they did, I could get ds one of them, so he can get some apps...I don't want to put in my cc info so that we can just add apps whenever, because I'm always afraid they'll learn my password and go nuts buying apps, LOL!

Thanks so much!!

Pretty sure the Staples one is a Nexus 16 GB for $229, (that is $199 at WM), and 32 GB is $249...
