MEGATOYS, A TRUE IMPORTER, WHOLESALER AND DISCOUNTER IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES

MEGATOYS is downtown Los Angeles has been one of my favorite discounters of toys and over the years I featured Megatoys on the news. Now I am pleased to showcase them again on our Best Buys TV Show. Megatoys is a true discounter because it has a factory in China where it manufactures toys, and then Megatoys is a wholesaler, importer and distributor of toys. The company's warehouse in downtown Los Angeles is open to the public, and there are extended hours during the Christmas shopping season. The prices charged to the public are slightly above the wholesale prices charged to stores, so if you shop at Megatoys you will save substantially below retail prices. Megatoys is at 905 East 2nd Street in downtown Los Angeles. This is two blocks east of Alameda. Call them at (213) 617-1353 or go to their web site www.megatoys.com for more information. We have videos below.

OUR VISIT TO MEGATOYS FOR THE 2009 HOLIDAY SEASON

Here are the goodies that Megatoys has in stock for the 2009 Holidays. Megatoys has the new sound activated Laugh & Roll Puppy and this promises to be a hot toy for this year. The Laugh and Roll puppy is priced at $9.99 and has a regular retail price of $15.00 and this is the first year that the Laugh and Roll Puppy is on the market. It's a cute little puppy and when you clap or hands or talk to it, it starts laughing and rolling around. I can imagine every kid wanting one of these Laugh and Roll Puppy play toys, and even big kids who just might get a laugh out of it.

As always, Megatoys is a leader for radio controlled cars and toy cars include "friction cars" and model cars. And there is a giant selection of fashion dollars and you'll find some of the newest and hottest novelty toys at Megatoys. There is a Hummer H2 large remote control car for $49.99 which is about half the retail price; get a jumbo Cadillac Escalade radio controlled car for $69.99 also about half off retail; and a large pick-up truck that is radio controlled with a hopping action is only $59.99 which is a savings of about $30 below retail. Watch the video below for the 2009 best buys.

Friction trucks (you push and that winds the wheels for motion) are priced at aobut $7.99 and this assortment retails at $12.99. One of the hot toys this season will be a sound activated dog that laughs and rolls. When you clap your hands it starts performing. And this very fun toy is priced at only $9.99 and retails for $15.99 and up and is brand new for this year.

Remember when girls played with doll houses? Well, now they have doll houses that are fixed up so little people could actually live in them. How about doll house facilities with a working bathroom with a working toilet and shower -- and I'm not kidding. There is also a working kitchen sink and cookware set -- yes with running water. And another set has a washer and dryer (they rotate) with a bathroom. Each of these "living dollhouse sets" is priced at only $6.99 and they retail for $14.99 and up. No dollhouse is required-- just set them up and play with them on the floor or on a table. Oh, there are working lights too. Everything is battery operated.

There is a fashion doll set that includes a wardrobe and many accessories including several handbags and different pairs of sunglasses and different shoes. Heck, I remember when fashion dolls came with one set of clothes but no more. The Megatoys price is only $4.99. And you can buy a set of four different fashion dollars for only $6.99 and this set of four dolls retails at $12.99.

You'll also find table top soccer games and electric keyboards and microphone with music sets all priced at less than ten dollars each.
