I'm interested in stuff that you wouldn't find at walmart... maybe more "old fashioned" types of things... Metal Tonka trucks (do they even make them anymore?), nice wooden things, etc...

Actually, dh just recently bought ds a metal Tonka truck -- a big one (the size I remember scooting around in, you know, one knee in the dumptruck part?) -- for ds at Target, for $9.99... We saw the same one at F.A.O. Schwarz later that week for $25.

I love browsing the catalogs for Hearthsong and Magic Cabin, but their customer service is terrible, and every time I order from them I swear I never will again. http://www.hearthsong.com http://www.magiccabindolls.com

(I've ordered from some of these and not from others...)

Cool! I've been wondering the same thing!
