revecca Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I've been looking since yesterday, and everyone seems to be sold out. AHHHHHHHH! I would have shopped sooner for it, but I didn't know it existed till yesterday. If anyone knows of a good sale I will be eternally grateful!
peppysfireball Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 It's in some of the black friday ads for 99, saw it this morning. Think it was best buy , but not sure. I only looked at Best buy and Walmart this morning, so had to be one of them. IF it's in a black friday ad, they sometimes hold them back so they will have them for the ad.

redraccoon Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 After much searching I've determined that the prices are probably being dictated by the company because they are not available anywhere for less than $99. And after looking around everywhere I finally decided that the package deals at the LeapFrog site are the best opionts. And they do have them in stock!
revecca Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) They only have the pink in stock, I'm looking for the green. I signed up for their emails and notifications. I hope they will get them back in soon.... They do have 15% off and Free Shipping, but the bundles are not included still that is a good discount for their other stuff. Edited November 19, 2011 by revecca adding info
blessedmamax7 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I called best buy on Wednesday and theydidnt have any. I called all over. About a half hour after I called best buy they called me back and said they had just gotten in a shipment. They held one for me until I got there after worked. Tried calling again thenextmorning for a coworker and they were gone. Keep calling. I paid $99.
bripoe Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I shopped for them in Topeka, KS yesterday. Went to 3 Walmart stores, 2 Kmarts, TRU, Target and noone had them. Barnes and Noble had one pink one left, but of course I needed the green one. Got home and hubby says I guess you are going to KC tomorrow. So off I go................I cant tell you how many Targets, WM, stores I went in. Went to Barnes and Noble and they sold their last 3 pink ones today..........no green ones tho. THey called the other 4 stores in the area and noone had any. I called my sister in Chanute and she checked their WM, but no luck. Called my daughter in Iola, KS and she found the green one. It was there last one. Who would have thought before THanksgiving that it was this hard to find.............I was freaking out!!! If you know anyone who lives in a small town with a WM, I would be calling them and having them check NOW!!! THIS IS VERY HARD TO FIND..........THO THE GAMES ARE EVERYWHERE!!!
magst24 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I went to a local WM and there was a sign that read Unfortunately, they were not able to get them in and they were on backorder. I got mine the 1st day of TRU toybook. Glad I did!
emilygracesmom Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I got mine early on as well. I was lucky enough to get the one at TRU with the Mr. Pencil bundle.

MeliesMom Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I was planning on getting this for my daughter. I procrastinated until this week and of course they are sold out everywhere. I found it online at kmart.com this morning. Just placed an order. Hopefully they actually have them and it doesn't get canceled. I wanted the one from TRU with Mr. Pencil bundle but this will have to do.
magst24 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I got mine early on as well. I was lucky enough to get the one at TRU with the Mr. Pencil bundle.That's the one I got too. I was a little disappointed that it didn't come in pink. Now my sister has a friend looking for a green one. Hoping to find a pink one and switch out my green for her pink!
Rose0426 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 For those of you that got a pink one, is it really pink or purple and would it be ok for a boy. Can get one for free thru my husbands work, but it only comes in pink. Thanks
beccas302 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 bought one for my nephew, figured with 6 TRU, and tons of Targets and walmarts, we'd be able to find one, right? WRONG! All 6 TRU were out, drove 20 miles to the only target that showed "limited stock", but didn't have any. Went to a few walmarts, and finally found THE LAST green one on a whim @ best buy. Cannot believe how popular these things are this week! There were a bunch in stock just a few weeks ago, figured I had plenty of time to get one at TRU w/ the bundle. My advice is get it where/while you can!
RBWilliams Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I got the green bundle from TRU three weeks ago for my grandson, but needed a pink for my granddaughter. Everywhere out of stock...even online. I finally found it online at barnes and nobles. Got the cover for each and adapter with rechargeable batteries at Leapfrog.com w/15% off. Covers were $15 each and $27 for adapter/battery pkg, reg $39. As far as the color......it was called purple on one site, but I think mostly they call it pink. Looks kinda pink/purplish. There are not two separate colors....it is same, but sites call it purple or pink. Good luck finding it....I too started panicking when I procrastinated getting the pink. Finally, took the Barnes and noble pink nook at $95
vern28 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 just in case you didnt see the thread..... toys r us . com is having a sale of buy 1 leapster explorer software get one free, most titles are $18.99 on sale right now. i grabbed 2 titles and signed up for the free 2 day shipping trial...the total was $20.05!
droolbug2 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I too procrastinated and started looking a few days ago. I counldnt find it in store or online anywhere, I've checked several targets, wal mart and TRU in quite a few states...sold out everywhere. I finally broke down tonight and ordered it on eBay.
kvantassle Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I dont know if anyone has a fred meyer around them but they have a toy coupon in their sales add for 25% off. I was able to get 2 leappads for 163 after tax. I really wanted the pink ones but for the deal I couldnt pass it up because of the color. All the stores I went to had green ones at at least 5 in each store so its crazy that they are being sold out everywhere else.
newmom517 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I got mine at booksamillion last week. So check the bookstores. They only had one left, I had searched all over and was lucky to go in there for something else. It was also $99.
egapinski Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Leapfrog.com has them in stock if you are willing to buy a bundle.
kbordelon Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Any suggestions on where to find a Leappad? A little girl will be so sad if she doesn't get one :'-(
redraccoon Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 I'm going to recommend the LeapFrog website. I bought the bundle - but after comparing I think it was a good deal...plus I didn't even have to leave my house! My order came super quick too - I was surprised.
tyreejames Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 The website is sold out as well. I have been checking every day since Monday or Tuesday...if they do come back in stock, I am prepared to purchase the bundle.
Rose0426 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Toys R Us is supposed to have some for sale on Saturday and Sunday morning. Better be there when the store opens.
magst24 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Gave my dd the leapad yesterday as a Christmas gift yesterday because I gave my son Steeler tickets for last nights game as a gift. She could not put it down!! She loves the video camera and camera. You can distort the pictures. It does take a little while to set up on the computer. It said download could take 30 minutes. Mine did not take that long, but I'm sure it would after Christmas. I would suggest doing the download before wrapping!
rebecca7675 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 If you have a Meijer by you they are showing them in their ad for Sunday too.
ty621 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 My best friend has been searching everywhere.. She finally found one today at Barnes and Nobles... Maybe try there.
emilygracesmom Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Not sure if any of you are still looking, or if you are interested in the bundles, but LeapFrog has the bundles available online. Probably won't last long though.
tyreejames Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Got a leappad this morning @ TRU. I am thrilled as this was the last thing that I needed.
