I got a notification that the leap frog site had the bundles in stock. I was hoping it would last longer since not everyone wants a bundle. I had the thing in my cart atelast 8 times and every time it would give me a "timed out" message just as I was getting to the payment screen. UGH!!!!!!!
did anyone get one?
Re: Rosie or Anyone get one? re:leap pad
thanks Emer! yeah the leapfrog site was a mess
I got one on etoys finally. but it was from my phone and once i got the email confirmation m address was messed up. on the phone with etoys now trying to fix it
Yay! I'm glad you got one for A! I hope it's an easy fix.
yep, i saw that. Well, i'm on the phone with etoys now trying to figure out if I have one or not.
We probably can't get them because every time they come up someone is buying them to resell.
Cherish Your Baby says they have 50 in stock:
Just the gadget. Not the bundle.

It happens every few years, right? I remember the Tickle Me Elmo chaos that was 1996.
I remember that. That toy was obnoxious!
hmmm, wonder how often they update- i bet they don't still have 50- especially since it is cheaper than everywhere else at only $71.
nevermind.
frustrating isn't it. it will let you put it in your cart and then when you go to pay- GONE!
I've NOT bought this damn things about 20 times now.
etoys now tells me that they can put in a shipping address request but no telling if it will go through. I can cancel and reorder since it is on backorder though. Shoot.me.now!
did they tell you how long on the backorder?
fwiw- i'm totally just doing this for the fun of it. i'm planning on purchasing two and then i'll post on here if I get them.
A&J - do you have a Plan B? What other similarly cool gadget kid gifts do you think A would like?
What about a back story for why it didn't arrive on Christmas and just waiting until it comes in January?
not right now, i'm holding out hope!
If I don't have a confirmed one by the end of next week I'll work on plan B. People here had some good ideas. I looked for other cool tech toys she might like- but she is poretty set on this. And once that girl makes up her mind!
MC- you mean you'll email me (unless I already have one), right?!
No, they have no idea when the back orders might fill. BUT, if I see them on an alert again before mine gets filled I'll be calling!
Ok, I actually go into work now. I pretty much wasted the whole day yesterday(um, until 1am) trying to get one of these things.
