Had a friend also looking - nothing in the legitimate retail circles. Found a couple on Ebay from someone in Scarborough. Pink, $180.

I was at Target in Buffalo, NY two weeks ago: they had tons of them (just checked the on-line inventory and both stores in Buffalo and Niagara Falls still have them "in stock"). Just another good reason to pull your C4S out of the garage and drive

I don't think I'd let my 3-year-old loose with a $700 iPad!

What is the difference between leapster and leap pad? Is it worth getting the leap pad if he already has the leapster? It seems like there are more games?

Pretty sure I saw them last night at Toys R Us in Burlington. I'm going again today and will check, if they have one I could pick it up for you.

Let me know

Been looking as well and sold out everywhere I looked.

Saw 1 at Vaughan Mills - store called Toys Toys Toys (i believe)
they were holding it for someone but they did not show up and were giving a day extension.

They were selling it for $220!!

+1 if you want it for your child then a nice drive accross the border will work out nicely for you child.

Default Thanks guys!

Thanks for the extra eyes. Pretty much all of Toronto is sold out.

I'm looking for a green one.

It seems like they are on Kijiji selling for between $150 to $260.

Retail is only $99.00.

Thanks,

Al

PS. I spent the kids iPad money on a set of winter tires for the C4S. Now I just have to get over my fear of driving my car in less then ideal conditions.

You've already spent the difference contemplating it

Thanks for the offer. It is truly appreciated but I just found One on Kijiji that was only marked up $30. They are now selling for $200-$250. Enjoy the Hockey game and be safe.
