angelbabymommy Posted September 7, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the major selling point for DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berry1014 Posted September 8, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreejames Posted September 8, 2009 Share 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 Share 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.

holl Posted September 16, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenna8110 Posted September 16, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfaddict1977 Posted October 3, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Shopper Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Does the big toy book ever get leaked before it is released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelbabymommy Posted October 16, 2009 Share 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 Share 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
