Adventures of Jar Jar Binks sticker book

Yosemite Sam tinfoil sculpture creator

Nintendo DS: The card game

Dora the Explorer crayon safety blunter

Hannah Montana themed Missoula Chamber of Commerce coupon book

GI Joe prosthetic limb molding kit

Yu-Gi-Oh ramen noodle bowl and spoon set

Bratz paper doll storage envelope

(((This just in:)))

"I did write up the Xmas disappointments list. Based on the sad, half-ass toys I see at Goodwill. Which I browse through in case there's an old Avalon Hill wargame lurking in there." – Stefan Jones
