I wanted to buy a specific item for my youngest's birthday in April and since I am trying to be more proactive this year, I started looking for it now. I wanted to buy it from a reputable place since I believe in the "you get what you pay for" principal and since this was a fairly expensive item, I was hoping to find a good sale. And I did! Item is regularly $175 and I got over $50 off so I snagged it!!
