I bought both of these for my daughter last year through Baby Center (diapers.com) so I can vouch for the site's shipping/arrival of product.

Happy shopping!

I found them both on Amazon.com, it looks like the Superstar Sing A Long is discontinued therefore, supply and demand.

Request to see on craigslist if someone has it and wants to get rid of it.
Always a good option.

Have you tried Learning Express? They have a lot of the toys that other stores do not carry. They also seem to have more on hand. Good luck!

One other thing that I recommend for ANY hard-to-find toy is to contact a family member or friend who lives in an out-of-the way, rural town. My MIL lives in a small town of 3,000 which is at least an hour from the closest big city. They have a Wal-Mart, and another town about 45 minutes away (where she goes shopping anyway) has other stores like JCPenny and Kohls.

She's often able to get things at her stores that are sold out here in the DFW area. I don't know if their demand for the "IT" toys isn't as great or what. But it's worth a try.

Good luck!

I also have the stage that I was going to sell on Craigslist. It's in almost perfect condition. I am in the Little Elm/Frisco area if you're interested.

well, i haven't read all the responses here, but at the risk of sounding like a big ol party pooper...
getting the toy you want (any toy) is not what i learned the meaning of Christmas to be all about. perhaps you could spend your time and energy with your precious grandbabies instead of chasing after some much-desired toys all season long.
(wow, i'm snarky this morning, sorry!) :P

P., I don't know where you live but I have the stage and microphone. I was going to sell it in the garage sale next weekend. My daughter never really used it. It is in great shape. You can send me a private message if you are interested. I would be happy to let you look at it and buy it.

edit...I just saw the diaper links and I would jump on that with the free shipping if the prices are the same.

go ahead and get the one you can from amazon with the free shipping promo going on while you can.

Call all the walmarts, targets, toys"r"us, and babies"r"us near you to see if one is in stock. Ask when their trucks come in and call back again and keep checking amazon to see if the other one comes back in stock. The 2nd item (fisher-price) linked below is not from amazon, it is from a third party seller being fulfilled by amazon...not the same thing. You are offered their shipping, but, the merchant often jacks up the price as well, which they did.

good luck

Tiny Love Follow Me Fred is on Amazon:

The Sing Along Stage is too but it's almost $90 (FREE SHIPPING) and Amazon doesn't mark it up like eBay may so I'm not sure where you saw the $40 price:
