Disapointed in K-Mart toy sale brochure

I just came back from KMart in Henderson and they have so much stock! (Heaps of the cozy coupe cars too)

It was getting busy when I left though.. But yay, I managed to get everything I circled in the catalogue to buy :)

We went to the Manukau store first thing this morning, they had lots of little tikes cars, so yay Nana & Pop bought one and have stored it away for Xmas.

I was in total disbelief at how much stock they actually had, the whole shop was basically toys, toys and MORE toys...The best toy sale by far!

Luckily my mobile phone had sold on TM a couple days back so I had lots of money to stock up for Xmas, walked away with around 15 really good fisher price toys for bang on $100.

We later went to Toy World to check out the peg puzzles they had for $4.99, I saw most of the stuff I had got at K-mart there at Toy World - the toys on special there were over twice the price that I got them for at K-mart. I invested in lots of little people accessories and kits...they had lots for $10 and $15 etc at K-mart whereas at toyworld they were $19.99-$39.99 - shocking!

Highly recommend the Kmart sale, especially for those of you who have younger babies (say 0-2years) because their fisher price/playskool deals are amazing! Even Farmers & Warehouse don't compare in price.

I went at midnight, mostly so I could shop without Lily in tow! I wanted the mini tramp (same price as at Warehouse but more units in stock) and the slide and ride, both big boxes so hard to manage with a bubba in tow.

Apparently in previous years it has been really busy at midnight, like chocka, but it wasn't at all last night - state of the economy I guess.

Back to the OP, funny, I thought there were so many things that I would have got had Lily been a year or two older, there were loads of things for boys or bubbas from 6 months, then from 2/3 plus, not so much for the one year olds i thought. i guess it comes down to what you have already, and what you want.

I went to Kmart St Lukes this morning and managed to get exactly what I wanted (the FP rollarounds Tree House, and the block eating Hippo!!). It wasnt even too mad, although the mothers with the twin strollers were trying to staunch out the other mummies!!!!

oh i like the look of that little people stuff, might have to brave the outside world and go have a look tomorrow

went at 6:30 and got the firestation. was relaly happy with it. not so impressed with anything else though. Went to laybuy. only to find 15 people in the queue, with filled trolleys. i had the firestation and thats it. so went and paid cash.

Went to the wraehouse and was unimpressed again. Got Jake some Diego figurine though - good for his diego cake.

I went this morning and didn't rate it much at all, bought a couple of things for the girls but didn't think the deals were all that good - 20% off isn't really worth it IMO. Thought last year's sale was much better.

I was a bit peeved as I had bought the farm version yesterday at warehouse for $29.99 thinking it was a bargain. But oh well, I bought the other version today at K-mart ...or should I say his grandparents shouted him one lol. They're like a duplo for smaller hands and little people figurines go with them. They come in a plastic box and he lid is the base to build to. Can't wait till Xmas - Lucas will have Little people overload ...a whole lil town!

Hehe I got one of those for Alyssa today..it was the one and only box. She loves her little people blocks that came in a big bus thingy so I figured better to get blocks which match her existing ones..

Yayay we got all the stuff we wanted to get, Ayja has a barbie bike, Paris has a barbie campervan and they have a couple of sets of lego, and a few dvd's, and a hungry hungry hippos game - done.

Now just working on getting rid of our little people to make room for the lego sets in the box. cos our girls are getting a bit old for them now i think.- will be listing them on trade-me in a few months - .. might possibly just do it as a big set.
we have - airplane, pink mummyvan, playhouse set, playground, zoo set, zoo train, circus parading pals, quite a few other little sets of people, a town playmat, and the big town with school and grocer shop, oh and school bus, and limited edition race-car driver and F1 car. - they only play with them when i remark to mike about how long it's been since they used them.. lol

Wow that little people set looks good but I didn't see it when I was there. I was pretty overwelmed and confused by what to get though so may have looked straight past it. I got a delux travel set to go with the Little Mommy doll I have in the cupboard for Elle and some applicances to go with the kitchen. I also go a Dora Travel and Care pony trailer as I wanted a car type thingy and it came with a little horse that Elle will love. I was tempted by some fisher price stuff but wondered if Elle would be over it within a day or so.
