sacoop Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) hi everyone just wondering if anyone has an idea of when the big toybook comes out my kids love it. also any one have and remarks on the nintendo dsi my 5 year ld is hinting that he is going to put it on his llist. thank you scott Edited October 24, 2009 by bigjimslade updated title
angelbabymommy Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 hi scott! the big toy book is usually in the local sunday papers around halloween ; sometimes its in stores a couple of days sooner. The sales usually last right up until the wednesday before thanksgiving. I dont really know toi much about the dsi ; my daughter has the ds. I think the major difference is the camera, Im sure it has other perks too.
Brad Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 looks like we posted it around 10/19 last year

berry1014 Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 The Toys R Us Big Toy Book Sale always starts the last Sunday in October. The ad does not come out in the PAPERS until the first day of the sale. I usually get the book in the mail a week or so before the sale. You can contact your local store to see how you can get on their mailing list.
tyreejames Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 The DSi is pretty cool! DS13 and DS6 have them; they have a camera, a voice recorder; they also have a sd slot so that it can also become a music player. My kids have the wireless hook-up but they only use it to go the the site to download games for the DSi. Also, once they take pics they can add affects to them as well. My kids sold their GBA SP's and there DS Lites to Gamestop to get theirs the day they were released so I didn't have to put out the full $170 for them.
angelbabymommy Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 The first day of the sale is on a Sunday, so thats when the book comes out in the local (Sunday) newspapers, which is always around Halloween ; well thats how its been where I live for I dont know how long.
jdrd90 Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 I have the book from last year. The dates on it are, Oct. 26 - Nov. 22.
tawnya Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I have the book from last year. The dates on it are, Oct. 26 - Nov. 22.Only you would still have last years Big Book. What else are you hiding?
holl Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 my 7 year old has dsi and loves it. mostly for the nintendogs games. The dsi has a camera which is really cool and you can set it to wireless internet so i think you can chat with other kids that have a dsi, but for one that little you may as well save money and buy the regular ds. My daughter doesn't even use the camera or the extra functions and loves it for the games. I think DSI is about $170 and a DS is about $130
jenna8110 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I've seen the DS Lite on sale at Target for $99. I would bet it will be at least that low for BF. At 5 I doubt he would even know the difference between a DS and a DSi! My DS, 9, has had a regular DS since he was about 4-5. This year he is finally getting the DS Lite because it will finally be on sale!
wnc_mom Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 does the one in the paper have the coupons on it? or just the ones thats mailed????

bfaddict1977 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I can't wait to get mine. I always start my bf shopping weeks before and then bring in my receipts for cash back when the items go on sale. I thought the coupon was in the paper too, however? I've gotten several coupons for $10 off $100 purchases recently.
KaS Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 How do you get on the mailing list to get the Christmas book?

I still havnt got it?!? it should come in the paper this sun right?It will be in the paper on Sunday Oct 25th. For those on the mailing list, they should receive their copy in the mail sometime mid to late next week.
Buckeye Shopper Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Does the big toy book ever get leaked before it is released?
angelbabymommy Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Does the big toy book ever get leaked before it is released?Well, some ppl get it mailed to them early if they're on the mailing list & I think (not really sure) thats around the time when Brad posts it. Im not on the mailing list, so I would have to wait to get mine in the Sunday paper, but I remember getting to see it early because of GD. It was posted here last year a week before it came out in the papers, so MAYBE (fingers crossed) we can see it this coming Sunday! That would be awesome!
Brad Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Does the big toy book ever get leaked before it is released?we posted it early last year, on 10/19, so i wouldn't be surprised to see it in the next few days. if anyone has access to it, please let me know :)
peifgirl Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 if it comes out the same time as last year...it should be this weekend or on monday...
222deal Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 I love the book, I can't wait to get it. I hope the last week has some good Lego deals like the start of October did, or should I say Bricktober as the ad is calling it.
