Lalaloopsy newborn babies:  $1.50 each (RSP:  $7.98)
TMNT aluminum water bottle:  $2.50 (RSP:  $6.98)

Both @ Toys r us

I was so glad I came in today!  I usually wouldn't, but I haven't gone in a very long time...I just wanted to check things out.

Well, turns out they were having a buy one get one half off sale on all of the clearance toys, and a lot of them were very reasonable already!  The lalaloopsy babies were $2 each...I almost put them back, but I just couldn't resist.

I was also really tempted by those giant monster high/ever after high dolls.  They only would have been $9.50, because my brother was buying something else regardless.  That would have been such a good price!

But I'm not that into them, and they take up a lot of space.  There were so many good deals on monster high too!  Would have been as low as $4 for some of them...I wouldn't have gotten so many back in the day!

TMNT - Half shell heroes bath squirter:  $.98 @ Toys r us (RSP:  ~$4.99)

This was an impulse buy.  It was just so cheap, I couldn't resist!

Lalaloopsy littles - Spoons waffle cone doll:  $9.95 @ Toys r us (RSP:  $18.99+)

I could have gotten her last time, but I thought I was already buying too much.  I decided I wanted to buy her again when I went the next time, but she was already gone!



Luckily she was still in stock online, so I got her shipped to my house for free.  Yay!  I love her ice cream scoop hair, and her matching outfit.  She's one of the best ones so far!

Kawaii crush - Katie cat meow meow:  $3 @ Toys r us (RSP:  $5.99+)

I was going to wait for a sale, but since there were only two left, I didn't want to risk it.  Plus, I was in the area, and it was kind of a spur of the moment thing.


I sort of want the penguin one, but since there are so many left, I think it's safe to wait a while to see if it goes down anymore.

Lalaloopsy pet pals - Wooly Fleece:  $9.45 @ Toys r Us (RSP:  $18.99+)

I thought I could resist, but I was wrong!  This was the last day of the sale, and it just kept calling to me, it was just so cute!


I really didn't want this one though.  It had a weird flaw on it...it looked like there was a crack with paint slapped on really roughly to cover it up. 

I wanted to order it off the site, but it was sold out by the time I got there.  Darn!  The first one I saw had flaws as well, but which one was worse is a toss up.

Lalaloopsy littles - Tiny Might doll:  $9.95 (RSP:  $19.99+)
Lalaloopsy Pet Pals - Purrty kitten paws doll:  $9.45 (RSP:  $18.99+)

Both @ Toys r Us

I've been wanting both of these for so long, but I've never seen them anywhere until now!  I'm so happy that they just happened to be half price the first time they showed up.


I've never even seen the pet pals line sold at any other store, and they've been out in the US for a while!  

Ditto with the littles.  I haven't seen this recent line with the new packaging anywhere else. 

I'm so glad I started paying attention.  Toys r us is normally the most expensive place to buy toys...but sometimes their sales are pretty impressive.  This is even lower than they are in the US!

The funniest part was, it wasn't even advertised!  I don't know if the selection would have been as good otherwise.  Almost everything was half off, and the minis were 70% off!!  Some of them were as low as $2.66, which is insane...that's like clearance pricing!

The 8 packs were as low as $11 each, which makes them something like $1.70 each.  So crazy!  I considered buying them, but I just didn't like them that much.

Kawaii crush mini dolls:  Hannah Banana nom nom, Taylor Sailor Ship Ship, and  Becky Bubble swim swim:  $3 each @ Toys r us (RSP:  $5.99+ each)

These were a total impulse buy.  I've seen these around, but was never tempted to buy them.  Since they were half price, I decided to take a second look!


Of course, I don't really like figures that much.  I just wanted to take their stuff for my little Blythe dolls!  

The monkey one was my favourite.  That baseball cap and pet monkey are adorable!  Sadly, the cap doesn't fit, but the knit hat does.

The other ones don't fit as well, but they still work.  I'm glad I bought them, especially since the nautical themed ones had a lot of great accessories.

Especially the one with the fish...I just had to have that cooler!  It even has fins!

All of their shoes fit them too.  Well, they stretch to fit.  I think it looks ok on them, but you can tell they weren't made for them.

There were a few more I was eyeing, but they don't have as many useful parts so they don't seem worth it.  Maybe I'll pick them up if they go lower.

I saw them went down to $1.80 in the states!  I would have picked them all up for that price!

Disney Princess & Me - Tiana Royal Winter fashion:  $5 (RSP:  $19.99+)

This was a total impulse buy.  I only have one doll that could possibly fit this, and I don't have any shoes for her.  This looked pretty nice in the box (especially for a child's Disney doll!), so I thought it was worth it.


Turns out the dolls themselves go for $65!  My doll doesn't look as good as I thought she would, but at least she's fully clothed now.

Lalaloopsy workshop 4 pack:  $27.47 (RSP:  $54.99)
Lalaloopsy Littles - Scribbles Splash:  $11.47 (RSP:  $22.99)
Lalaloopsy Littles - Twisty Tumbelina:  $11.47 (RSP:  $22.99)

All @ Toys r us

The sale was ending today, so I just had to check out one more.  This one is somewhat close to me, so curiosity got the better of me!
 

Plus, I decided I wanted that exclusive four pack.  I had so much fun putting together the other ones, I had to get this one too!  

I really only wanted the bunny, but some of the other ones are ok too. I'm not crazy about them, so maybe I'll customize them.

I regretted not buying Twisty the last time I saw her, so I was happy to see her today.  I was pretty surprised to see Scribbles there, since she's one of the early ones and I've never seen her anywhere else.

Both of them were way up high (as in, impossible to reach without a ladder) so I'm sure that helped. 

They had two other ones that I've seen at ALL of them so far (the mime and the hula girl), so I passed on them.  I don't like them as much, so I probably won't get them unless I have a gift card to use!

Disney Pook-a-looz - Mickey Mouse wobbler
Disney Pook-a-looz - Buzz Lightyear spinner

$1 each @ Toys r us (RSP:  $4 each)

This was an impulse buy.  I'm kind of a sucker for cute Mickey items, and this was priced right.  Plus, I do love wind ups, and I thought that Buzz had a neat look to him.
 

Well, I shouldn't have gotten either of them, since neither work that well and the novelty ran out right away!  The Mickey doesn't even have wind up action, I should have looked closer!

There was a walking Cinderella too, but I thought she was odd.  She pretty much had no head! She was practically a body with hair piece.

Lalaloopsy workshop dolls:  Clown/princess pack, Ballerina/Cowgirl pack, Sailor pack, Fairy pack, Bunny/nerd pack

$8.47 each for the single packs, $14.97 each for the double packs @ Toys r us

I couldn't help it!  I don't think they'll ever be half price again, and I'm really into these dolls.  I considered buying the clown/princess pack at target when it was $19, but now I'm glad I didn't.

The sailor was the one I originally wanted to buy, even if it was the only one.  I was going to get it at $11.44 at superstore, but then this sale came up!
 

I liked the other ones too, so I decided to get them.  Well, I didn't care for the ballerina but I really wanted the cowgirl so I bought that pack anyway.

I spent a lot more than I should, but these were even cheaper than they are in the US!  That hardly ever happens, and when it does, it's a big deal.

Teacup piggies - Snowmobile set (white and beige pigs):  $4.98 each (RSP:  $20+ each)
Lalaloopsy littles - Fiery Flame doll:  $11.47 (RSP:  $22.99)

Both @ Toys r us

I came for the littles!  Once I heard that every Lalaloopsy item was half off at toys r us, I made the rounds to see what I could find.  Well, sadly, this is the only one I wanted.  There are two more I want to check out, but I'm not too hopeful about it.


This location was the only one I ever saw the snowmobile sets at though.  The last time I checked, they were $15...so regular price was probably around $30.  I did see them on the US walmart site for $20, so I'm sure they were more here.

Which is why I was surprised to see them for $5 each!  I couldn't say no at that price.

They also had a dark pink mom/baby set that I didn't already have, but I couldn't bring myself to pay $10 for it after seeing this. 

Here's hoping I find more littles!  I never thought toys r us would ever be this cheap.  I'd like to find bundles snuggle stuff and a few others.  They sure have a bunch of the mimes every where I go!

I also wanted to buy the workshop dolls, but I didn't want to carry so much stuff around.  I saw them at every place I went, so I didn't think they'd be hard to find.  People don't seem to like them very much.  I just hope the ones I want are still at the other ones!

I was planning on just ordering online if I couldn't find them, but turns out shipping isn't exactly free.  It's only $20 off, which is stupid.  I'd have to pay $7 more, so I might as well just go to my store and pick them up instead!

La Dee Da dolls:  Runway Vacay Cyanne, Juicy Crush Cyanne, Runway Vacay Dee, Juicy Crush Dee:  $4.98 each @ Toys r us (RSP:  $16.99 - $19.99 each)

I saw the watermelon one at the last store I visited.  I was tempted then, but I didn't really want to collect too many doll lines.


Well, I started looking her up online, and I really wanted to get her!  I saw her again at another store, so I was sold.  She even came with my favourite doll in the line!  I thought the grapefruit themed one was so cool, down to her sparkly glasses.  

I was surprised the other ones were on clearance too.  I regretted buying that french themed one, so of course I had to get her too!

I don't really like the outfit of the other one, but since she had great hair...well, you know how it goes!

I did leave behind two dolls, so I think I showed some restraint :P.  I'll probably pick up more of this line once the other nice ones go on clearance.

Teacup Piglets:  $2.98 each (RSP:  $9.98)
La dee da - Bun's closet figure - Top hat & Tails:  $.98 (RSP:  $7.98)

Both @ Toys r us

I was worried they might be sold out, but thankfully, they still had all of them left!  I ended up buying one of every colour they had left.  

I didn't notice it before, but these ones have replaceable batteries!  6 out of 7 of my other ones didn't, which is why I thought all of them were like this.  

Even though those ones were half the price, these are a better value. The other ones will be pretty boring once their batteries die out!


I ended up picking up a La Dee Da wiener dog figure.  The outfit reminded me of tuxedo mask's from sailor moon, and for a dollar, why not.  


I can't believe the retail price was $8!  That's the kind of things they normally include with dolls...and I've gotten the dolls as low as $5.

The figure is super poorly painted too, worse than any I've seen for a non-dollar store line.  The promos are totally misleading, they had a ton there, and none of them were remotely close.  What were they thinking with that retail price??

It turns out they have a bunch of different ones, but mine only had this version.  I would have loved to find this one:


That's genius!

Teacup piglets:  $2.98 each (RSP:  $9.98 each)
Teacup piglets mom and twins set:  $9.98 (RSP:  $24.98)

All @ Toys r us

Just like with the novi stars, these were clearanced once more!  Everything I bought before was still there, so I returned my old ones and saved $20.  Yay!


I just wish I didn't throw away my receipt for the first two.  They were $6.98 down from $9.98!  Lesson learned.  I've kept this receipt just in case it goes down again!

Surprisingly, I like the min pigs a lot more than the full sized ones now.  They're just so cute, and the things they say aren't as annoying.

There are a few I didn't get because I thought I already had those colours, so hopefully they'll still be there when I go back.

I just noticed they have this funny warning on the inner flap:

I've never seen that before.  It seems silly too, since I know toys r us would accept it anyway.

Novi Stars - Sila Clops:  $4.98 (RSP:  $19.98)
Novi Stars - Alie Lectric:  $4.98 (RSP:  $19.98)
Novi Stars - Space dreamer outfit:  $2.98 (RSP:  $9.98)

Monster High - I love shoes Frankie Stein:  $20.97 (RSP:  $34.99)
Monster High - Black Carpet Lagoona:  $13.77 (RSP:  $22.99)

All @ Toys r us

I came because they were having a 40% off sale on all monster high dolls - that sounds like a lot, but since their prices are high, the deals only end up being reasonable.  Still, this is the best discount they've ever offered so far.

I've wanted that Frankie for a long time!  She's an exclusive, so she'll never be cheaper anywhere else, so I splurged.



I love that Lagoona too...I couldn't wait for a sale (probably would have been half a year away) so I bought her now.  She'd probably only be a few dollars less at that time anyway.

The novi stars were a surprise.  I never knew that toys r us marked down their prices more than once!  I've never seen it anyway, until now.

They were clearanced at $10 for the longest time, which of course, wasn't a deal.  So I was surprised to see them at this price today.  That's even cheaper than target!

Target didn't have Alie, otherwise I would have bought her then.  I had a chance to buy Sila for about $6, but I just didn't like her that much.

I don't like her any more now, but I like her better at that price!  Plus, I don't know if they're going to be sold anymore, so for $5 it was a no-brainer.

I was also happy to find the outfit.  I passed on it at target when it was $2.99, and ended up regretting it when I started being really into them.

I did leave one outfit behind...I hope I don't end up regretting that one!  It just didn't wow me, last time, this time, or any other time I looked at it.  Maybe I'll change my mind, who knows?

Teacup Piggies - Weekend spa set w/Princess:  $6.90 (!)(RSP:  $14.99)
Teacup Piggies - Mommy and Piglets set (white):  $14.99 (RSP:  $29.99)
Teacup Piggies - Basic Ollie:  $9.98 (RSP:  $17.99)
Teacup Piggies - Mommy and Piglets set (beige):  $14.99 (RSP:  $29.99)
Teacup Piggies - Basic Holly:  $9.98 (RSP:  $17.99)

All @ Toys r us

This one even had the first two I bought!  But I'm glad I got the other ones when I did, otherwise I would have been overwhelmed today.  It was way too much to carry!

I'm really happy they had the piglet sets though.  I was thinking about ordering it online, but I'm glad I didn't.

They also had a purple set, but I already bought too much and I wasn't fond of the colour.  I prefer natural coloured pigs. 

I also passed up a purple coloured Zoe (the mom set would have been a better deal anyway), a pig named Crystal (had purple splotches that looked ugly), and the separate piglets, which were $5 each.  They work out to $2.50 each in the sets!

Granted, the single piglets had more interesting colouring, but I really don't think they're worth $5.  For $5 more, I'd rather have a full sized one!  Those are more worth it, even though the small ones speak too.

I was surprised about that Ollie.  The colouring was completely different from the first one I bought!  I think they should have named her something else in that case, especially since all of the phrases are the same as the other one.

Even worse, the teacups are exactly the same!  I'd rather not have a duplicate, especially since the pig looks like a completely different one.

Anyway, two more places to check out!  Let's see if they have any of the other colours I want.  I really want the grey, black, and caramel coloured ones!

I'm happiest about the spa set.  What a great price...even cheaper than the basic pigs, and it comes with a musical playset!  I think $15 was their last clearance price, the set had to be around $30!

The pig on the box is also a completely different one.  It's a blue one, but I'm glad it came with a natural pink looking pig instead.

Teacup Piggies - Ollie and Zoe:  $9.98 each  Toys r us (RSP:  $17.99 each)

I just found out about these adorable guys randomly...they were so adorable, I had to get them!

They remind me of Sylvanian Families figures...they're flocked and they have black bead eyes too.  I love how these ones are realistic, and the idea of them coming in tea cups is just the cutest thing ever!


They actually came out in 2010.  I'm surprised they're still in stores!  


Actually, I've only found them at Toys r us...and in the clearance section of course.  I'm just grateful that they're still here, they would have been so expensive if I had to buy them online.

I just wish they had pigs with more realistic colouring.  They do, but this store didn't have them.  Now I'm on a quest to get more!

I think $10 each is reasonable for them, but it's kind of annoying...the regular retail price is $13 in the US!  Actually, the regular price at target was $9.99!  Not a great deal in comparison.  I saw some people get them clearanced for $5 each, which would have been awesome.

Monster High - 13 wishes Lagoona - $14.97 @ Toys r us (RSP:  $34.99)

These dolls practically just came out, so I was really surprised that Superstore had them on sale for only $14.97!  At that time I only bought the roller maze dolls and the novi star in my last post, since they only had really messed up Lagoonas left.


I went to Toys r us to see if they had a better selection, and they did!  Around 30 of them.  It was so hard to choose!  

I ended up getting this girl because her eyes were huge compared to the other ones, plus her paint was so heavy.  The other ones seemed boring in comparison!

I wanted a Howleen, but neither of them had it.  Then I saw that the crappy superstore did, so I really wish I went there during the sale.

Monster High - Scaris Lagoona and Cleo 2 pack:  $29.97 @ Toysrus (RSP:  $39.99)

I've wanted this for a while...I just love everything Lagoona!  I always try to get every version of her, price willing.  I thought both of these dolls looked great, so $15 each seemed like a fair price.

Plus..it's a toys r us exclusive!  It wasn't going to get any cheaper than this.  Even though it's the average sale price for a basic, I think the details are way better than that of a basic doll.  I love Lagoona's octopus theme and all of Cleo's intricate accessories.
 

I actually had this shipped free to my house, toys r us has a monster high promotion every 13th, and that was it this month.  I saved almost $9, and a trip to my local store.  I wasn't sure if they had it anyway, and this was the only doll I wanted (well, that was cheap enough during this sale!).

I'm impressed...it only took 5 days for me to receive it, and I ordered it late at night on the first day!

I was pretty annoyed though.  They sent it in a box the size of a computer tower with NO padding!  Thankfully the box looks ok, but there's still some minor damage all along the sides.  I really don't get why they skimp on the protection!
