In the spirit of Thanksgiving we not only have guests on the show, but we have family. Mrs. McFavorite's parents join us for our discussion of the "big deals" happening during Black Friday 2009. Even with the lack of great deals and any other segments, we still come in at over an hour. Needless to say we had a few drinks in us which always helps with rants and tangents. If you prefer to just know the deals, check out our 100% ramble free show notes. 01:08:07 openyourtoys, action figures, 80s, gijoe, g.i.joe, he-man, heman, he man, motu, toys, toy, Hasbro, Mattel http://openyourtoys.com/?p=300 http://openyourtoys.com/podcasts/Open-Your-Toys-Cast-026-part-2.mp3 No creativity whatsoever.

Yeah I like the cold, I love the snow and I am admittedly a holiday music junkie. But, as you’ve hopefully guessed by now, the best thing is the toys. All of the new stuff is hitting pegs and shelves, retailers are putting them on sale more frequently and in bigger numbers and you’re seeing toys in places you never thought you would. All this and the biggest shopping day is less than a week and half away. But, even Black Friday pales in comparison nowadays to the online deals.
