Israel to the (shopping) rescue... twice

So today I had my folks pick up a copy of Bakugan Helios Maxus 7 in 1 at a Toys'R'Us in Israel... because there is simply no way to get it here in the US anymore and for some odd reason it seems like it has become a collector's item. On the other hand, their local store had like a dozen copies on the shelf for the roughly $50 MSRP. So my son will have one in his hands in a couple weeks.

Coming on top of the Abbott Navigator - both products being American and made here - I find it rather amusing that they had to be acquired in Israel.
