? Trouble finding Rocket Toy from Little Einsteins?

[MEBs_Tinkerbell]

My oldest son wants Pat Pat Rocket from Little Einsteins. We saw it in Target in mid August but since he was with us we did not get it. On Saturday we were in SuperTarget and just missed one. Now I am having trouble finding it at the retail price. But if you go on Ebay, craigslist or Amazon they want $75 dollars or more for the toy. It's only a $40 toy so I refuse to spend more than $40 for his toy. It's a sad world when someone takes a high demand child's toy to make a profit; just like ticket scalpers. I'm going to keep trying to find it at Target. Between myself, DH and my mom we are going to Target almost everyday.

Right there with you looking for the toy. I've contacted my family in several states with help locating it; did the same thing you did, didn't buy it when I saw it because she was with me and I didn't trust myself to not give it to her early.

I've seen ads on craigslist where they have the whole set for sale at the price paid at Target but are adding on a surcharge for their time and effort.

I bought this for my nephew. I was obsessed with finding it. My sister said I wanted it more than my nephew did. DON'T bother to have Target email you when available, they never emailed me.

I went to target.com EVERY day and did the search for pat pat rocket. When it came up, and said it was out, I clicked on "find at a store near you." (I just went to the site, and notice that option isn't there now, hopefully that's just a glitch). When that option WAS working, I'd put in my zipcode, and it would bring up all the Targets near me.

I found out, if it said NO availability at a store, they were totally out.
If it said availability, they had 2 or more. If they only had 1, it said limited availability.

One day I saw "availability" at the store here in Savannah, and rushed right there, and they had two. I'm kicking myself for not getting both of them.

Don't give up, you might still get it.
