Bakugan
Wii Fit
Hasbro Spirograph
Wii fit can be found on Walmart.com. I ordered it Monday and it was delivered Thursday. WHEW.
I’ve been looking all over for some of the Star Wars figures. Finally found Ahsoka at the Wal-Mart in Lake St. Louis (after looking at about 10 places). Count Dooku and Asaaj Ventress were also hard to find.
Bakugan? I have been able to find the 3-Bakugan figure starter kit that sells for $10 and other Bakugan items at the St. Charles Wal-Mart at 2897 Veteran’s Memorial Pkwy. They seem to restock the Bakugan more frequently than the other local stores that I have been to.
The Sams Club and Wal-Mart websites have had the Wii Fit in stock as recently as Dec. 18th. A good place to monitor the web for the Wii Fit is http://wiitracker.com/wiifit/.
I absolutely agree about the Ahsoka and Commander Cody action figures. I saw one of each two months ago and haven’t seen one since (and both are TOP of my boys wish list). I bought the $150 Millennium Falcon to make up for it.
And my 9 year old informs me that it’s only certain Bakugan that are hard to find. Seems most of the stores are full of the less desirable ones. If you can’t find Lego Star Wars or Lego Batman, I suggest getting them the video game versions: Lego Star Wars, Lego Batman, & (my favorite) Lego Indiana Jones. All the fun of lego meshed with all the fun of the movies. Available on all game platforms and PC.
All I want for Christmas is a new Governor.
Wow, I’m now feeling pretty good, since I have a few of those on the list!
We were lucky and found commander cody and ahsoka at Kohls. They have alot of the hard to find ones.
I saw several of the Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker(s) at the Telegraph Rd. Wal-Mart last night (Sat.) Get movin’.
