I went to the one in Toronto last year and was NOT impressed at all. I guess with all the hype I was expecting a lot more.

Both hubby and I commented that most of the toys in there are stuff that work companies would give to kids at Christmas....kinda cheap and old toys!

We left almost empty handed. They DID have great deals on books though...especially kids workbooks that teach them numbers, colors etc.

Overall....NOT worth the drive for us again! I can do WAY better with just watching the local flyers.

agreed!!

pm' ing, watching flyers and lately zellers deals paired with their fb coups or hbc card deals have been GREAT for for xmas shopping! i also do lots of my shopping in the US. Samko & Miko have waaaay old toys, i was very disapointed!

@Sherrybobins I got a BUNCH of toys and books. They have EVERYTHING you can pretty well think of... for example, I got the fisher price little peoples castle playset for $15. in the store it retails for close to $30.

You can even get rapping paper for xmas. anywhere from $0.50-$1.50!

I got a Narnia companion book, fully illustrated, pop-up hardcover for $2.00

Thanks! I'm excited to check it out!

i found a lot of great deals at wal mart...

$3 barbie puzzle (ages 3-7)
$5 hello kitty game
$5 max and ruby dvds (also strawberry shortcake,only grabbed 1 though--already grabbed too many max and rubys lol)
$5 cutie botique blender (was back in summer,got her the microwave for same price)

....forget what else there was now.Just thought i'd let others know. Also the i can be... barbies look like they're going on for 12$ and my dd always wants those,great price for them,usually their like $25 +.

I have been to every sale for the last 5 years. They have lots of books for kids at cheap prices. Their selection is limited to older toys that didn't sell at Walmart,Zellers etc.....
Prices are mid range and not big savings. This year they've had a limited selection, trying to sell stuff that's been sitting in the aisles for 4 years. My kids didn't want anything from SAMKO this year because like my son said........"Same toys as last time."

I think its a great place to shop for toys for younger kids 10 and under. My son was never cared about the top 10 toys so I was lucky. They have great prices on older toys that kids still enjoy, toys you havent really seen around. Great deals in crayola and lots of books. I got the big disney story books that you see at costco for half price at samko. I always feel like santa when I shop there cause I get 3 huge red garbage bags full of stocking stuffers and gifts averg.10 presents for 5 kids. I like to get a bunch for donations to christmas bins at the shelters. You wont find the hottest toys there but some cool ones. One year I found a princess chair that plays music when you sit down and the skirt comes off to wear it and it had a little peakaboo doll in one compartment and all the jewels on the chair was actually jewelry my dh could were, great find for $15. You wont see barbie charm school dolls but maybe fairytopia dolls. Have fun shopping.

I went through the website that you mentioned and found myself happy and surprised to get the information.You must feel yourself lucky
that you got the best price for the toys purchased.Do you know about any other such locations from where I can get the best price?Thanks.

we went to the one intoronto about 3 yrs ago and got my daughter a nice barbie play castle for $65, and that was a decent price.

we went again last yr because i needed a few gifts for 7 of hubby's nieces, ranging in age from about 5yrs to 13yrs. i honestly could not find anything decent in the budget i had set for myself. i have had much better luck shopping regular retail sales.

if someone is curious about the sale then it's not a huge hassle to check it out. parking is easy, no lineups or anything. just don't expect to be super-wowed
