My Mother-In-Law has been wanting to get my son a Leapfrog LeapPad for a really long time now, I’d guess since at least around October of last year. She wanted to get him it for Christmas, but it’s like the most popular toy EVER and was sold out everywhere! Unless of course, you want to get it off ebay or something for 3 times the regular price.. uh.. no thanks.

We finally found a green one (the boys color) of it in stock at a local Walmart this afternoon, and noticed the price had jumped from $80 to $110 which of course didn’t make us very happy. Supply and demand, I suppose? We debated over getting the Vtech Innotab instead, since it’s very similar and still the $80 price, but ultimately decided to purchase the LeapPad.

I’ll be doing a full review of the Leapfrog LeapPad, including my thoughts on everything about it including: price, installation, games and ‘apps’, how often my son plays with it, is it worth the cost, etc. over on my review blog, jennreviews.com, in the next couple of weeks.
