[lchang25000]

Thanks!!

[malphy]

was that a one time use coupon?

[jacobsdad]

I assume it is not since I found it on another deal site.

[2zeke]

My son has been wanting a hand puppet from there.

It says on the coupon:

"For each customer, this coupon can be redeemed only once at any Barnes & Noble retail bookstore."

[Babymakes3]

I just printed the email that I received with my 40% off coupon (i had apparently deleted it oops!) and the 503031 # is exactly the same as the one posted so I think anyone should be able to use it!

[photini_@yahoo.com]

Thank you.

[ourbabygirl]

Thanks for sharing! Hoping to use this to get started on Christmas shopping! :)

[Babymakes3]

Thanks for posting this! I tried to put a Leappad on hold at my store since the inventory checker says they have them...we'll see if it's true! Then i'll have to figure out which one to keep since I just bought the Explorer as well. Oh and apparently TRU is having all the Leapfrog games BOGO starting tomorrow! I bought some games BOGO 50% at Kmart today so i'll be returning them!

How did you check inventory on the Leappad? I can't find it on BNonline at all.

[beth239]

I couldnt figure it out either.

I recently looked at something and it didn't show the 'pick up in store,' option - so does that mean it's an online-only item?

[TwoToTote]

Do you think this would work for the Elf on the Shelf? Would it count as a toy, I wonder...

[Bens Momma]

Bet it would. Couldn't hurt to give it a try!

[hkriw]

I did the "check inventory" for the pink lap pad tablet- found it locally- they called and texted and told me it was at the register with my name on it- would hold for 3 days.

Thanks. I just saw another post about this in a different thread, too. :)

[cucaw30]

Thanks so much OP for posting this. I love the toys B&N sells and, in my area, it is hard to find these quality toys (i.e. HABA).

[calv]

THANKS for the heads up. so how does this work?

just do a pick up for the leapfrog pad and print off the coupon for 40% off?

ETA: for how long will B&N hold your item? I noticed the coupon is good unitl the 24th

[txgirl]

I noticed this was a one time only coupon. Anybody have success yet?

:applause: Thank you. That worked.
Thanks also to to the OP!

[lisa928]

Ugg. Thress local stores said they had them in inventory but when I send the request they say no.

[calv]

they said no how? by calling you back or when you do it all online you get an error message?

[NCGrandma]

Thanks so much OP for posting this. I love the toys B&N sells and, in my area, it is hard to find these quality toys (i.e. HABA).

I too really like HABA toys but I have found that my local B&N carries almost none of these, especially infant toys. Do most of you see HABA at your B&Ns? The stores around here do carry a lot of infant Manhattan Toys -- some of those are fine but I really prefer HABA.

I did just discover that the local BuybuyBaby store has a very nice selection of HABA infant stuff -- haven't bought any yet but I assume their usual coupons will work!

[MommyofAmaya]

I'm having this happen too. The first store sent an email that they were OOS. Now every time I click "Pick up in store" I get a message on top of the fillable form that says "sorry we have verified with this store and there are no more items in stock". I'm wondering if they failed to exclude them on the coupon so are pulling them off the floor?

ETA: All 15 local stores stating out of stock. :/

[twinsmama]

I noticed this was a one time only coupon. Anybody have success yet?

i used it three times yesterday. will use it again in 20 minutes :)

[calv]

darn it! just heard back from B&N that they couldn't locate it. :( BOO HISS

[HallsofVA]

I got the "sorry, can't locate it" email from our 2 local stores as well.

Has anyone had luck just going to the store to get a leappad with the coupon? It's not close, but DH is willing to make the drive if there's a chance it might work.

[Chylynn]

I did two requests and one came back no, out of stock and a second one came back yes, 3 days to pick it up. In this store, they are charging 109.95 for the pink leap pad. Now I am trying to convince my DH that we are not going to get a better deal than this.

This is the email/text I received:

Good news. Your search is over. The distance between you and LeapFrog? LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet ckTim is only as far as store location. Our booksellers have reserved 1 copy in your name at $109.95 per copy, and they're holding it until 11/23/2011. (After that, we have to give other customers their turn.) If you have any questions, please give the store a call at.

Thanks for participating in our "Pick Me Up" program. Our mission in life is to get you the item you want as quickly as possible. We'll see you soon.

[kerriowl]

Thanks for posting this. I was able to locate and buy a Leapster Explorer. It was only $40 with the coupon and my membership. Then I hit Toys R Us and got 4 games. Now I have the system and games, all for under $100. Yippee. Shopping for DS1 is done!

[beth239]

I couldn't find te leap pad either. When I asked today they Barnes and Nobles warehouse is out and probably won't get anymore before Christmas.
I also got the Leapster explorer. Do people like this?

[wellyes]

The Leap Pad description says "Note: This item does not qualify for coupons or promotional discounts unless expressly stated." So I am kind of scared to try. I did try to put it on hold at one store where they said it was in stock, but the reply was no (probably some employee bought it on discount to resell, sigh).

[inmypjs]

I am not very familiar with the B&N toy section. Are there any other hot items or deals to be had with this coupon?

[wellyes]

Very good deals, I don't know. They do have the InnoTab. They also have puzzles, some Legos, games. I'll probably use it to get Zingo.

[JenRay507]

EVERYTHING I checked online for availability in my local store showed OOS. I went down there yesterday and was underwhelmed by my store's selection. They had a limited Lego selection, but nothing geared toward the younger set. The LeapFrog shelves were sparse. Lots and lots of games though. I ended up getting "Pairs in Pears." Not very exciting use of a 40% off coupon! (I considered "Rory's Story Cubes too!") Congrats to those of you who managed a LeapPad with this discount!

[hkriw]

Just picked up my leap pad tablet- they were very pleasant- said they are selling like crazy. It was $65 with the coupon- went to Delaware and NO TAX!

I have a friend who is getting one of the calico critter houses- like the tree house or townhouse I think showed locally.

[kijip]

We used it for the Lego Advent calendar. It came to $21.

[Babymakes3]

I have called or visited every B&N within 50 miles and cannot find the leappad in stock. :( Guess i'll be sticking with the Explorer for ds.

[maybeebaby08]

Thanks OP! I put a Leappad on hold yesterday and picked it up tonight with the coupon no problems!

[calv]

reading the reviews on amazon they seem to be more bad than good. Main complaint being the cost of the apps/games/stories.

anyone actually have/use this toy already? I guess for $65 it may be worth it! but ugggh, do we need it when we have 2 leapsters already?

also what charger do you buy for it?

I'm wondering the same thing? We have an iPad that we let our girls use so I'm not sure if we can justify this or not.

[lchang25000]

Exactly why I won't be getting one for DS. I have a feeling he will play with it for a little while, then go back to playing with the apps on my iPad. Plus, the reviews really turned me off from buying it.

[gordo]

Thanks for the coupon! I think I will use it on some Playmobil sets!

[wellyes]

I have an iPad and am thinking of getting the explorer for DD.
- I like it's durability (even with an otterbox my iPad is at risk with her)
- I like that she won't be able to stumble onto YouTube or anything else not-kid-friendly .... Including some of my own iTunes songs
- Seems to be the equivalent of a couple of cool vtech/leapfrog toys in one bundle, making $65 not a bad price (even though I only buy electronic stuff like that from kohls with % off, never full price)
- LOVE that she can take photos, make movies and record her own voice on it. Huge fun factor. Plus, better to be a producer, not just a consumer.
- we don't have a leapster but I'm betting I can find games used.

Btw I requested it at a local store that said it was in stock -- they said they couldn't find it -- requested again at the same store an hour later and got a congratulations email. Who knows why but I am glad ro have the option!

[ett]

They carry legos without marked up prices, making 40% off a very good deal for them.

[iaam]

Ditto with Playmobil. I have gotten three sets with this coupon and will likely get a couple more.

[Mamma2004]

Which sets did you get?
Our B&N has a good deal of Playmobil now, too.

TIA!

[MichelleRC]

My local B&N is holding a Thames & Cosmos Chemistry set (the C1000) for me, I am so excited to be able to use the coupon on that.

[wellyes]

I changed my mind and am not getting it. Anyone who wants a LeapPad in the Boston area, PM me :) They are holding one at the Prudential Center for me til 11/23, and the 40% off coupon is good til 11/24.

[teedeedee]

Can anyone tell me how their prices on M&D stuff run? Would 40% off make it a good deal?

[KimMae]

I was going to hold an audio book then I realized it was 36 online and 50 in the store! No thanks - amazon gets my business on this one. I realize they need to stay in business but that it ridiculous.

ETA - I know 40% of 50 is 30 but it is only 31.50 on amazon and I don't have to drive 11 miles each way which is a gallon of gas (3.39) not to mention my time!

[stratosphere03]

I went yesterday hoping to find Christoper Pop-in-Kins, but apparently they don't sell it. :( (I think Elf on the Shelf is scary looking.) I plan to go back today without the kids and pick up a playmobil or lego set.

[iaam]

For most stuff, their prices online are the same as in store, so I would suggest looking on the their website for the ones that you are interested in.

This coupon is just for toys, I believe.
If you like audiobooks I do recommend audible.com :) Free book, then pretty competitive prices.

Can we definitely use the coupon on this? In the product description it says:

The Santa Monica, CA store has a ton of Leap Pads in stock if anyone's local to here!

Oh ok, great! Thanks! Now I just need to track one down. :)

[tofubeast]

I have to say, B&N really has a nice, unique toy section. I was pleasantly surprised. I used the coupon on a nice xylophone for my DD. Thanks for posting this threat! :thumbsup:

Thank you so much for posting the coupon. I picked up the Lego Kingdom King's Castle, regular price $100 for $57 (including tax) after the coupon and 10% member discount.

I picked it up yesterday with no problems
and I used it again today (new coupon) on legos

There are very few disclaimers on the coupon itself

[KrisM]

Thanks!

I picked up Ticket to Ride, which DS1 is getting for Christmas. Brought it in about $7 less than Amazon's price.

Thanks. I would have been really upset to get there and it didn't cover audio books! I really need the cds not the audio file as we are traveling and everyone needs to listen in the car and prob won't have a speaker. I could get the audio file for around 15 but would then need to buy a big pack of cds and copy them. As it is I think I can resell the cds that I buy after we listen.

[malphy]

Online on saturday night it said nj store had it in stock and i put in request to hold it. They are closed sunday but on monday i got message that they did not have any in stock. I went to the store anyway to buy a tag and they had no leappads or games on the shelves. HMMMM??!!
\
Then they asked if i was a member when i tried to use it. I am not but know someone who is so i used their info. I guess it is only for members?


boo

[lauren3110]

I got a twilight turtle, melissa and doug ice cream scoop set, and leap frog fridge phonics. Not sure I saved that much over amazon, but at least have them crossed off my list

It's not only for members. I received a coupon in my email. I am not a member. They always ask if you're a member because you get an additional discount, and if you say no, they will try and sell you a membership. :)

[wellyes]

I just saw - B&N is have 50% off any one game or toy on Friday. Works in store or online!

I personally would not venture to the mall on Friday for the 10% difference but HTH someone decide between using this coupon or waiting.

No, she meant i couldn't use coupon if i wasn't a member. She looked like she was afraid to tell me that. Probably bevause it isn't true but managers are trying to control the coupon. imo

[WatchingThemGrow]

I got the Tag Solar System Pack (http://shop.leapfrog.com/leapfrog/jump/Tag%22-Solar-System-Adventure-Pack/productDetail/Tag-Books/TAG21193/cat70008) for DS1. It was $8 after tax and discounts.

Well, weird. I was asked if I was a member, too, but I get asked that every time. Anyways, B&N emailed me the coupon, so I figured it was legit. I had my email ready if there was any question!
