Smile Mighty Beanz! The latest craze!

Have you seen 'em? They are supposedly the latest, greatest kid toy on the market. My kids are ga-ga for them and they are spreading like wildfire! Move over Yugioh...

Mighty Beanz are little capsules (about an inch big) with colorful characters on each one. Inside each bean is a ball or something that makes it wiggle and wobble. The marketing ploy is that there are 60 to collect, trade, and play with. Also, there is the Mighty Moose Bean which every kid covets because only 1000 are distributed in each country. They come in a 6 ($6.99) or 3 ($3.99) pack. Australia has already started series 2 which has 70 more beans to collect!

Every kid will want these for Christmas. The age range says 5-9 but so far I've seen pre-schoolers to middle-schoolers like 'em! I don't get a commission or anything, just wanted to give you shoppers a heads up! Get 'em while you still can!

This week is a great time to get them at KB Toys if you have one near you because everything is 30% off if you spend $30! I think Toys R Us has them too, but not on sale.

Mighty Beanz

Happy Hunting!
Nat

We saw the commercial for these on tv and dh said they were out when we were kids, I don't remember them but he said he does and they look almost exactly the same, track and all.

Couldn't resist checking this out when at KBToys tonight. They looked so fun I got a pack. They are crazy - I like them, not sure why really. They are just fun. I see a trip back there tomarrow for a few more.
