I always tell my wife that 914club is the "ulitmate resource!" It's better than Google.

I need to find one of these for my nephew for Christmas.

http://www.wildplanet.com/spongebob/krabby_patty.htm

It's the Sponge Bob Krabby Patty Station

I am willing to pay $25.00 for your effort, plus the actual cost of the item (should be about $24.99), plus S/H (I will give you my UPS number to ship to my office at my expense).

Keep your eyes out for me please. I don't have a lot of extra time on my hands.

We have looked all over town (Walmart, Toys 'R Us, and Kaybee Toys). I even looked while on my trip to California, and over S. Florida today. No luck.

If someone finds one, call me first at 407-252-6347 (my cell phone)

Thanks,

Karl

If all else fails check out ebay. There at least 50+ of them. Not cheap, but they are there.

I'd prefer not to go the e-bay route on these.

I'd rather give the extra $25 to one of you guys than risk getting ripped off from e-vil bay.

I'll look up here in the am when the stores open. What happens if you end up with 6 of them?

This reminds of the Teddy Ruxpin and Cabbage Patch kids that went on in the 80's. Its a fad that will die with the next generation of kids. In the meantime, everyone goes nuts trying to find this stuff and pay way more than it's worth. Unfortunatly, the kids love it and isnt that all that really matters? I know I did it for my little girl. She is still the love of my life. Good luck.

Sorry, We are temporarily out of this item and have been informed by the manufacturer that they will not have any additional stock until mid-January, 2005.
We do have the Sponge Bob Krusty Krab Cash Register in stock.

These people think I am a crazy dad or something? One sales person laughed on the phone when I asked if they had it.

I have never heard of this toy and it seems to be a BIG seller. I'll keep checking but it doesn't look good.

There is a person on ebay selling one who is near me. I e-mail them to see if I can pick it up. The price is higher then $30

Cheers

Okay... nobody needs to go out of their way.

I wanted to make sure it wasn't a local shortage.

Thanks everyone for trying.

The spoiled little brat will have to wait. Uncle Qarl will give him the gift of patience for X-mas.
