HA! (One of the many moments) I wish my Dad were alive to laugh with me at this!

I'm adopted, and one of our favorite ways to drive my Mom nuts was for Dad to "reminisce" how they obtained me 'cheap' by buying me when I was on sale, an anecdote puntuated by pointing out the nearest store window sign that read "Baby Sale." Never failed to make me laugh uproariously and, for some reason, make my Mom gnash her teeth.

He would think this was absolutely hysterical. I'm sure we would very quickly spin it into a "can I have a baby brother" "sure, you can even have five, they're on sale!" routine.

Good for them offering Assorted Babies. I've always wanted some ethnic diversity in my family.

Do they have any more of those cute Asian ones? They are really in style right now...

@undefined: Definitely get the warranty on this one, the manufacturer's warranty doesn't cover as much.

hmmm.... I wonder who you contact about being a supplier.

@rockasocky: At least they don't sell you a used baby and claim that it's brand new.

You know, like somebody else.

@tbonekatz: you know those things are just scams. You'll take it in because their motor skills aren't working right, the store will take them to the back, break their arm and say that you must have done that and now the warranty is void!

Do they already know how to make wallets and handbags, or do I have to teach them?

@nataku83: I like to keep birth control open. It's a good way of having sex without having kids.

To good of a deal to be brand new...must be factory defects, or maybe Fire station drop-offs!

It's much funner to make them from scratch rather than buying pre-made.

Also, I wonder if any other competitors will price match....

Little girl says:"Mom, can we get one - PLLLEEEEEEEASE???????????"

Mom says: "No, I'll end up having to take care of it."

@MaytagRepairman: assorted baby parts, build your own for $5 or build 5 for $20, only at IKEA!

@Coach Cal Is My Dream Weaver: did the lead weigh them down?

This is where Octomom got hers...but she got the better deal at the time..... 8 for $20! What a bargain!!! LOL!!!

I know it's technically correct, but it always gives me a chuckle.

@Coach Cal Is My Dream Weaver: I'd say the extended warranty is well worth it if you ant them to go to college. It can get real expensive real fast if you dont have the extended warranty.

@Canino: Yeah, I'd say theyre totally not worth the Tax Breaks or the Foster Care payments.

Don't tell my wife about this!

Wonder if IKEA will offer a competing product with customizable parts.

if they're made by American Apparel, they'll just fall apart after the first time you wash them anyway

Well, keep adoption open. It's a good way of having kids without having sex.

@Jeremy82465: That's where they get you - watch out for the extended warranty upsell.

I was there yesterday, and didn't buy anything. They're all Made in China, and for some reason, 95% of them are girls.

Comment from jc364 on 2009-04-09

I don't see them in the bin with all of those clothes in the way.

They must be near the bottom...

They'll sell out fast once word gets to Angelina Jolie and Madonna...

Wait- they're not Mini-USB? That means I'd have to buy a whole new set of charging cables. No deal.

Comment from Tiber on 2009-04-09

2009-04-09T22:37:00Z

It's tempting though. I thought I'd only ever want one or two, but how can I pass up buy 4, get one free? I'm a sucker for sales.

Love the Human Trafficking tag BTW.

I'm gonna buy up all they have and sell them on ebay!

I am wondering if they are willing to accept consignments??

Comment from bohemian on 2009-04-09

2009-04-09T22:28:36Z

AA fails to tell you about the ongoing maintenance cost and they all start malfunctioning after about 16 years. Then they won't take them back!

Can I get an extended warranty?

@rockasocky: I just got a broken one, no returns without receipt and he ate my receipt!!!

Comment from Canino on 2009-04-09

2009-04-09T22:23:11Z

Don't forget the hidden costs. They might seem like a good idea at the store, but then you have to feed them.

Comment from rockasocky on 2009-04-09

2009-04-09T22:22:27Z

Well, this sounds like a pretty good deal, but what is their return policy?

What is this, a DIY Suleman family? And do I have to pay more if I don't buy 5?
