noehlp Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Help. My youngest dd, bday this Saturday, wants a Farm Set. Does anyone know of a store that I can go to in person, NOT ONLINE PLEASE unless it's a super hot deal. I would like it to be under $30, but a little above is okay. The kind I am looking for has a barn, some animals, maybe a fence or a tractor. Not too particular just looking for something similar. Thanks for any and all help I get!
gemini1217 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 If you have a TSC (Tractor Supply Co.) in your area they have farm toys. Have you tried Wal Mart
noehlp Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 Duh me. Thanks for reminding me gemini to tell you guys where I have looked.These are the local stores, but if you find something in the ones I post let me know and I will call surrounding areas, as I am willing to drive a bit for this. I've tried:Walmart (nada)Toys R Us (they had either a little tykes or fisher price one but it was more for a 1/2 yr old and it was $35 and was only the barn and like 4 figures, not worth it to me)Target (the only thing I found was $7 clearanced but was VERY cheap material wise, very cheap plastic stuff and ugly. lol)Kmart (nada thing)
dealluvr Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 i just looked at sears under farm toys or something like that they have a couple farm sets for under 30 kb toys
First Lady Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Have you tried Thiesen's on the SW side? They had a bunch of farm toys before Christmas and I think they stock a smaller amount of toys throughout the year as well. Or that Rainbow Toys store in the newer strip mall by SW side Kmart? Or maybe The Learning Ladder by Michaels on the NE side.
Gumball Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Do try the TSC that someone else mentioned if you have one near you. They carry a lot of farm toys and every one that I saw there before Christmas was made of sturdy metal. They carry stuff like that year round so they should still have some there.
Firemansgal311 Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I don't know what age group you are looking for but Walmart has a really cute John Deere set that has three tractors, two horses, two cows, a dog,some fence pieces, a haycutter and a windmill all for $19 or $20. It is all of those cute heavy made chunky metal tractors and trucks with the eyes. No barn though. Ds got one for Christmas and loves it even the 6mo plays with it too. hth.

Though I have always found they are a bit overpriced. I looked online at The Learning Ladder, will have to try to call them.Thanks!
noehlp Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 i just looked at sears under farm toys or something like that they have a couple farm sets for under 30kb toysHey thanks! I looked at Sears.com and they had a good one! Farmer Macs Talking Farm Playset. It is attachable to wooden train sets. Which I bought her a wooden train set from Target for 19.99. Now I just hope they carry it in the store. I will call the local one and another one in Iowa City. I don't have a KB toys nearby anymore. I am still looking until I find 'the one'. Keep your ideas a coming, pretty please with sugar on top!
noehlp Posted January 6, 2006 Author Posted January 6, 2006 I found a great farm set at Theisens Farm & Fleet. It cost $24.99. Will try to post pictures if I remember. Thank you all!
civicracinggirl7 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I don't know how old she is, but my mom just got my youngest niece (3) a Duplo farm set for her birthday. We'd never seen anything like it before, but Target had it and there were only a couple on the shelf. It comes with all of the pieces to build the barn pretty much any way you want (box shows different variations, but no instructions are included... it is easy to build it from the box pictures though). It also comes with fence pieces, a tractor with a couple of tractor add-ons, some animals (cows, pigs, horse) and a couple of people. If you can't find that, again depending on age, you should be able to come across the Little People barn pretty easily.
