I was reading your post, (http://www.coolest-toys.com/200909/dora-links-doll-all-grown-up-and-ready-to-order.htm), and I just wanted to let you know about a cheaper option – Walmart is also doing a presale, and if you use the code LIBRARY, the doll is actually $10 less. With the presale coupon, the price is $49.99 instead of the $59.99 you’ll see everywhere else. Feel free to let your readers know and give them the presale code (through another post, or by adding the link to the bottom of the current post) and don’t hesitate to make the pre-sale code public! This is an online-only discount, and with the code “LIBRARY” the Dora Links $49.99 purchase can be made at http://see.walmart.com/dora-links/

Let me know if you’re able to update your current post, or if you decide to post a new story!

Thanks,

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov 17, 2009 (PR NEWS) — Jamba Juice (NASDAQ: JMBA) announced today the launch of its newest retail offering, the EZ-2 MAKE! Jamba Juice Smoothie and Ice Pop Maker, a Jamba-branded toy blender designed to bring the smoothie-making experience to children nationwide. Created together with Think Wow Toys, the EZ-2MAKE! Jamba Juice Smoothie and Ice Pop Maker will be available exclusively at the world’s leading specialty toy retailer Toys “R” Us and select Jamba Juice locations, starting mid November. The toy blender will be available to additional US retailers beginning January 2010.
 
Targeted to kids aged eight and older, the EZ-2 MAKE!

Kids can have fruit smoothies or frozen treats at home in minutes by simply following the fun recipes in the instruction book included with the blender. The EZ-2MAKE!

It is called the Phoenix. This toy is a HYPER-realistic, working roller coaster toy (Video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiPmsG5KaQc ).

The Wahii WaterSlide 75 is the largest backyard waterslide in the world! No kidding. It is 75ft long x 12ft wide! We have sold them everywhere….. they are very popular in the USA, Britian, Norway, Australia, Canada and New Zeeland. Cost is $149.

To see why parents rave and children cheer about the Wahii, see our video of the Wahii in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=malZS9DG0_1 or simply google (Wahii WaterSlide).

“I WISH THEY MADE THESE WHEN I WAS A KID…” This is one of the most popular phrases we get in feedback from our customers.

The Wahii is held to the ground with a patent-pending fastening system called the Quik-Stik Fastener. It is constructed of heavy duty plastic that is UV resistant and rated at 256lb per square foot. With a little care, the slide will last for years.

If you would like more information about the Wahii WaterSlide 75 or the Wahii 50, please contact us at: izoomllc@yahoo.com

Would you please consider reviewing the iPod, iPad, iPhone app titled Mini Figures. It is designed to help folks catalogue and keep track of their lego minifigs. It can also be used to identify which mini-figure is in the mystery bags. The Mini Figures App utilizes both photos with explanation of what to feel for and well as a systematic way to decipher the dot codes.

As of August 4th we released version 2.03. The app sells for 99 cents, but I am including the following iTunes Redemption Code so you can download it for free. The iTunes Redemption Code is “4LENFXW4LTLW” without the quotes.

I am not sure if you do give aways on coolest-toys.com, but if you could find a way to give away 10 free copies of our app we will gladly provide you with 10 additional redemption codes.

Thank you for the consideration.

Grace & Peace to you!
