In the midst of all the toy/product recalls from China, will this effect your Holiday shopping season? According to some media especially in magazines, surveys indicate that consumers will cut down on toy/products that are made form China. Hmmm... I smell a revolution coming. Anyway, what say you? More and more local shops as well as retailers are scrambling to order amounts of U.S.A Toy goods and items, as their is a more and more growing demand and awareness of of the quality or should I say Crap from China? laugh.gif

Trying to not buy anything made in China is like trying to stop yourself from going to the bathroom. You may be able to do it for a little while but you'll eventually cave in.

While you're at it don't send any Christmas cards, or buy any artificial trees, or bulbs for fresh-cut trees, or angels, Santas, Marys, Josephs, Jesus in the manger...


If we quit being their biggest customer they may insist we pay back the trillion dollars we've borrowed from them.

Of course you can't stop buying every single thing from china, thats impossible. However, the awareness is brewing more so than it has before on the quality and trade issues. Just read in Newsweek magazine that orders for Made in U.S.A toys have doubled and american made clothing is the new hot trend coming. Hey, its a start to something that should of started years ago.
