Oh, I'm tellin' ya... I'm soooo in it! Trying to find a train table *on sale* has got to be one of the most frustrating, most infuriating, most nerve wracking quest on earth. Every kid in the city must be getting one for Christmas! I swear, I'm ready to pull my hair out! UUUUGH!
So Saturday morning, (let me remind you the kids are in LeMars, so IF I SO CHOSE I could have slept until NOON for the first time in 5 years) I get up early, shower and head to Toys R Us. They had *promised* me that the tables would be in stock and on the floor ready for sale Saturday morning. Oh, and they were... There were about 10 of them sitting right in front of me. Do you think I got one??? Oh, hell no....
Why you might ask???? Let me tell you.... The train tables that were on sale were just the table (ie no trains, track, or buildings to go with it) and then you got a 60 piece "starter set" for free. Pretty good deal... THAT IS IF THEY HAVE THE STINKIN' FREE SET IN STOCK! All week, they've had tons of the starter sets on the shelf, but no table. Ironically enough, as soon as they get the table in, the *free* starter sets are magically gone. UUUUUGH. Frustration has set in.... big time!!
So.... I came home, once again., without a train table. Here's the deal though... this table is going on sale in a week or two, and will be on sale for a month.... I can't go wrong. Everything comes in one big box, and since I've learned the fine art of stalking, I can't go wrong! Wish me luck!!
