Be careful with the Polly Pockets--lots of them have been recalled. You can check the site online and then mail in any recalled ones and they'll send you a certificate based on the toy's original retail value (as long as you send at least 50% of the original parts to the set). I OFTEN buy recalled toys at thrift stores just to send them in and get the gift certificates! I bought a $2 Easy Bake Oven and got a $32 certificate just the other week.

The manu doesn't care where/how you bought it or how little you paid; they just want it out of the community so they don't get sued anymore.

This weekend was a Little Tykes outdoor toy bonanza (perfect, because we're setting a backyard patio up as a play area): pirate/themed sandbox w/ cover, huge outdoor toybox, table w/ 4 chairs, huge kiddie pool w/ slide. Grand total for all? $28!
