I went to BRU this weekend and they said they have discontinued carrying this toy this past week. Aack- I really wanted to buy this for my daughter.

Any ideas?

A friend bought mine in May (for my shower) at Target. I would imagine that if you don't have a Target near, you could order it online (http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=1-11/qid=1120164191/ref=sr_1_11/601-8723211-0441723?%5Fencoding=UTF8&asin=B00005YVRN)

AUGH! I put that on my registry. Why on earth would BRU discontinue it?? It's such a popular one! Guess I have to buy it myself now. :confused: :mad:

I checked Target on the weekend and they did not have it. I guess it is only available on the internet right now and it is not in stock at the moment. I am impatient and I want to buy it today (since I have been meaning to buy it for 3 weeks) ...maybe I will try Baby Depot tonight.

Thanks!!

I had gotten mine at Target a few months back (P.S - It was in the TOY section, not baby section). I thought they didn't have it and then I went to look at toys for my nephew and saw it with the "Baby Toys".

Yesterday I saw it at Buy Buy Baby, BRU and BRU online.

My DS LOVES this! I do hope you get your hands on one...it's fabulous!

Man, that sucks! If it is so popular, why on earth would they stop selling it???

If its the one that myshel posted, I have one. Its never been used. I dont even think we ever put batteries in it. I dont have the box anymore though. I would have no problems selling it if someone wants to make me an offer.

Heck. Maybe I'll sell mine on Ebay then;) But then I'd have one ticked 19 month old on my hands. Now that he's in a "big boy bed" it's not so important but that sucker goes to the grandparents house with him so he goes to sleep easily there too:)

Good luck!

I just saw a bunch of them at our Target today....I wonder why certain stores aren't stocking it anymore? We'd be lost without that thing!

If it's the one we have - check Wal-Mart. My MIL bought it for DS for Christmas there and we returned it because we already had it. We too would be lost without this as DS entertains himself with it all the time!

Chylynn, if you find one locally before Tuesday, please buy one for me too and I will pay you back if you don't mind. I want to get one for the new baby. Allie loves her still to this day. Thanks,
Cori :)

I bought mine from a secondhand store for 3.99...works perfectly and in great shape. Now I have two. I'd sell one if someone in Ontario wanted to buy it.

I still don't understand why BRU is no longer carrying the item. I checked out Baby Depot and they did not have it either. Some of you suggested to try Target in the children's toys, so that is where I will be during my lunch hour! I checked the Walmarts by me and they did not carry them. :(

Cori -I will definatley pick one up for you if I find it!!

Not sure why they aren't selling them anymore. The only thing I can think of is that they are coming out with a newer model and are cleaning the old ones off the shelf first.

they are actually coming out w/ a newer, "3D" model. i saw it on amazon (if you find it, there is a link that says you can pre-order the new one). it looks nicer but i hope it works just as well b/c i have also looked everywhere for the current version and i can't find it.

Is this the newer version? It looks like it's available now.

I have seen the newer model and one of my friends purchased it. She said the motor is really loud compared to the motor in the original aquariam. I went to the Target by work and they were out as well, so I just ordered the original on the Babycenter website before they run out as well.

Cori -I will still look this weekend to see if I can find it for you when I am out.

And of course they upped the price on the new one.

I would definitely try second hands stores if you have them in your area.

I saw these at Buybuybaby. Do you have those in FL?

I found it at this website also - babyuniverse (http://www.babyuniverse.com/pro.asp?store=baby&lang=&id=21226)

It's cheaper here - burlington coat factory (http://www.burlingtoncoatfactory.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Section_Id=12925&Product_Id=351686&source=froogle)

Franni- No, unfortunately, we do not have BuybuyBaby in South Florida. :(

I really don't understand why Fischer Price decided to change it to the newer version. I guess they never heard the saying "if it ain't broken, don't fix it"

I saw the new Aquarium in BRU earlier this week.
