Toys R Us to buy FAO (and the Whatnot Workshop)

[Alvin]

Looks like the online whatnot designer is NO MORE!

FAO is building a new on-line store. We'll have to wait and see whether or not the Whatnot Workshop will be available on-line on the internet.

i certainly hope so.. at least in some form.. even if you have to phone the orders in, it's hard to know what the options are if you don't have some sort of visual guide to work with..

we got one ordered back when they were still under $100 (ok, barely..) and would love to get more of them eventually

Need Whatnot building help!

After the phone lines being down for awhile, I got ahold of the store and they can take orders for the Whatnots over the phone again! All is not lost!

I just had the same experience as John (Not Jon), which has saved me from a major birthday disappointment.

But since the online designer is down, I need to build my Whatnot from memory and whatever online resources I can find.

If you forum members know and post pages, pictures or blogs that will help me see/remember my options, it would help me a lot. Many thanks!
