Possible deals on Plan Toys at Constructive Playthings

[firsttimemama]

I was browsing, and some of the prices looked pretty good- they are not labeled Plan, but I recognize them.. if you go to "all sale" you will see them - garage, train set (various pieces, read descriptions), tea set.. shipping is not great but it looks like there may be some codes out there

The Adventure R&R for $60 is a CRAZY deal, less than wholesale!

Good find OP!

the adventure rail seems like the best deal- as pp mentioned. i'm tempted, but our trains get so little play...though that is a REALLY neat lay out. hrm....

the tea set that is NOT the same as the plan tea set we have-- i think it's a different one (comes with more than our plan set, is slightly different--ours doesn't have the cookies/cherries). it's still really cute and the price is good :)

Going through one of the blog links I just got the Plan Toys garage for $50.xx shipped. That is the best deal I've found. Thanks OP! My 2yo's big gift is now purchased. :yay:

When I clicked through the blog and added the garage set to my cart, it was still $69.99. What did I do wrong?

the 15% will show up after you go through the checkout process...it's a bit of a pain, but worth it to defray the shipping costs :)

[Snow mom]

Do you have to do something other than link through what OP linked (aka the list of blogs?) Do you need to go to the blog and link back to get the 15%?

NM: figured it out. I'm not sure that we needed it, but got the adventure rail set. Does this fit the wooden Thomas trains?

[farm-o-rama]

You can just type the code "WrestlingAddicted" in the coupon code field to get 15% off. I just bought my daughter the wooden doll carriage, which is a great deal at $35. I've been looking at wooden strollers for years - most wooden ones that look like this are $70 - $150. :)

Thanks, OP! I picked up the Adventure RR set as a Christmas gift for DH's best friend's 2 boys. It looks like this set differs from the Plan Toys set on Amazon in that it doesn't have the people or the station (73 pieces on that one versus 65 pieces here). Still, what an amazing price!

[firsttimemama]

I am excited that I contributed a deal

<-- dork :)

[RunnerDuck]

I am curious if anyone has gotten the garage and if in fact it is plan toys??? I am specifically looking for the older model of the garage and they have it still for cheap (says backordered but when I called they said they had one still) -

I'm hoping if it turned out to be a knock off someone would have updated here :-)

[smiles33]

I got the knock off adventure train set. I was really disappointed when the real Plan Toys Adventure set went down to $40, even CHEAPER than this deal, before Christmas. I'm guessing the garage is also a knock-off.

That? It was a knock off? Who actually makes it?

The garage pic looks exactly right, and constructive playthings does sell plan toys on amazon - but why does nothing have a brand name on their site? Very odd...

[RunnerDuck]

The train set with the green mountians? I tried to post a link but my post didn't show up. WHo actually makes it? I am really curious why they don't list brands on their site, though CP does sell plan toys on Amazon...

[Snow mom]

The train set came in a box marked constructive playthings that said it was made in their own factory. I haven't opened mine because DD is still a bit young for it. Anyone try theirs out?

[mygrassisblue]

I got the garage. It was Plan Toys, came in a Plan Toys box.

Can I rub you for luck? :)

I am freaking out because I ordered it, thinking maybe it just didn't list a brand because of how companies don't like places to discount... but now I am freaking out wondering what it really is. It's supposed to ship tomorrow so I am wondering if I can call in the AM to check - I keep looking at the pic and it LOOKS the same (we had one, it broke, long story) and I still have the roof from the old one - so if it's not the same I'll know. I am googling like crazy to see if they have a rep for selling fake plan toys. They do have a rescue set on Amazon that says plan toys but then says "eclusivbely ours" so I am so confused...

I hope I get the real deal, too. Wonder why the train set was fake?

Does the elevator in your garage work??? Click as it works the lift up?

[RunnerDuck]

Did yours come with a car wash? The one on CP's site doesn't show or mention the car wash which is the one thing that makes me wonder if it IS a knock off - as the train set had fewer pieces than the Amazon one...

I'm really hoping they're just crazy cheap because they are the 2007 model. (2008s model which is the current model has a smaller elevator)

[mygrassisblue]

Ours has a car wash. The elevator clicks when you turn it. I just looked, and the bottom says Plan Toys. The little green car that came with it says Plan City on it. :)

[RunnerDuck]

Good good good... Looks just like the pic on the site, with the elevator hanging to the side? (ie not the newest version?)

Thank you so much for answering!

I'd really love to know why they don't list brands... that train thing is mystifying.

[RunnerDuck]

Updating to say my garage came, and it is Plan, and it is the old one, which is what I wanted, so YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone still wants one if you call they probably still have them. CP is confusing, there are several divisions, and some still have it listed at 89.99 which is what they tried to charge when I called, but I said the web says 44.99 so they gave me that price.

Very confusing company...
