Do you think this is a good price? Should I buy now for Christmas gifts or wait it out?
Amber, I really don’t know. If you are looking at Christmas I would probably wait. Last year the Leappad was insane for Christmas but it was also released in late fall so the supply was the issue.
I too will be buying these for two of my children for Christmas. The best deal I found so far was on-line at Wal-mart. Shipping was free and for $99 they had various package deals. I was unaware there was a new version so that’s probably why.
Hmm.. maybe I am not looking at the right thing but the deals look comparable from Walmart. I see a bundle for $110 for example with the Leappad and the case. The case is priced at $9.99 from Amazon though. Also my tax rate is 8% so that adds up too.
