Toys R Us (USA) is having a sale right now until this Saturday Sept. 21st! 20% off your entire purchase. If anybody lives in the USA, this might be your chance to get some of the new Calico Critters items! The coupon is good for both in-store and online purchases! I don't know if Toys R Us overseas is having the same promotion.nondisclosed_email@example.com (PetiteCherie)Fri, 20 Sep 2013 06:42:00 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45726,from=rss#post45726https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45726,from=rss#post45726Hi Candy! My aunt attended deaf school around age 2 as well. I think she lived there and only came back home during weekends because the school was too far away from her home. Her mom had 8 other children and a job so they couldn't move! About the school bus, did you buy it? It's so expensive to my liking but I wonder how nice it is. The yellow school bus was a big part of my childhood and now it is the same for my kid so I want to get them a toy bus as well. The Playmobil school bus is cheaper I think but I am afraid it will not fit the Calico Critters!nondisclosed_email@example.com (PetiteCherie)Tue, 17 Sep 2013 06:17:59 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45616,from=rss#post45616https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45616,from=rss#post45616Oh shame poor baby.

I was still in diapers and rode the school bus (a small one, mind you) to a special school for the deaf. I did not have any older brother or sister to go with me. It was hard on my mother to let me go at an early age but it was necessary for deaf children to attend early schooling to get the most out of education. I attended a regular school during middle school and high school and still got to ride the school bus there. My son has mild autism and he attended an early education center at age 3 and he rode the school bus there, too. He is 9 now and attends a regular school but no school bus since we live close by to be able to walk there. nondisclosed_email@example.com (DeafCandy)Thu, 12 Sep 2013 10:39:06 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45579,from=rss#post45579https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45579,from=rss#post45579You rode the bus from age two?

I am waiting for the appearance of the School Bus as I would love to have it! I grew up riding the yellow school bus from age 2 to 17 years old so it's a BIG part of my life. nondisclosed_email@example.com (DeafCandy)Thu, 12 Sep 2013 10:04:27 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45565,from=rss#post45565https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45565,from=rss#post45565I am very excited about the new release! I was wondering when International Plaything would finally update their product line! The pig and otter families are big wants but I would rather get the school or winter set. I don't know what to put on my Christmas list to be honest... too many to choose from! >.< I have yet to see them in store. A visit to Toys R Us is in order nondisclosed_email@example.com (PetiteCherie)Thu, 12 Sep 2013 04:38:15 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45188,from=rss#post45188https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45188,from=rss#post45188Ah! now that is the question that most people would like answered. Maybe in the new year when things settle we may get the new school bus but it may be in a different colour. As in the UK we don't have yellow school buses as far as I know. We should just have to wait and see what happens when Epoch take over from Flair.nondisclosed_email@example.com (madforSF)Thu, 29 Aug 2013 04:55:27 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45162,from=rss#post45162https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45162,from=rss#post45162i really like the school bus! the uk has a nursery bus but why doesnt it have a bus for the school children?nondisclosed_email@example.com (kirsty corntop)Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:52:55 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45142,from=rss#post45142https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45142,from=rss#post45142The winter sport set is fantastic as I got it from Japan. I also got the cat with the unicycle set from Japan.

No thank you to the $50 bus or the $15 winter and summer sports sets. I am surprised that the school is only $80. I would have thought that it would be closer to $100. -Ericnondisclosed_email@example.com (ianandjane)Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:24:10 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45133,from=rss#post45133https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45133,from=rss#post45133I would also LOVE some new furniture. :-\ nondisclosed_email@example.com (gummykandi)Tue, 27 Aug 2013 13:15:52 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45132,from=rss#post45132https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45132,from=rss#post45132Yesssss! After years of waiting for it, the school has finally come to America! I'm also really excited about having the Tuxedo cats, my triplets will be reunited with their kin at last!

I posted about it in another thread. I think the one about Flair losing the distribution. -Ericnondisclosed_email@example.com (ianandjane)Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:21:32 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45130,from=rss#post45130https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45130,from=rss#post45130I have seen the bakery in my local Toys R Us which really surprised me because we never get some earlier then others. I didn't't say anything about it because I thought someone had to have posted about it and I just missed it! It was priced at $19.99. I like the roller skates, but the rest of the set is underwhelming. The winter set is cute, but I don't think we'll get it because I don't see winter sets figuring into our play much. I really like the bakery. I have a soft ot for small buildings. The toy shop looks to big for my collection considering I have all of the accessories from other sets. I am pretty darned excited about the school. It's about time! The school bus is a maybe. I hate the sea otters, but International Playthings got me. My wife is named Jennifer. If they didn't have those names, they would have been a pass for me. There is no new furniture! I hope there are some surprises to come. I want new furniture. -Ericnondisclosed_email@example.com (ianandjane)Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:18:48 +0000 Re: Tons of new items for Calico Crittershttps://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45128,from=rss#post45128https://bsfforum.runboard.com/p45128,from=rss#post45128quote:madforSF wrote: Some of these were available from Japan last year and hopefully will filter through to the UK market in time for Christmas I have a feeling Flair aren't doing anything new until the handover to Epoch, I could be wrong on that though.

I like that bus, too! I find it interesting that all the new products are originally JP items. I wonder if Epoch has already controlled International Playthings?
