@toril. They now seem to be primarily included in Great gifts, Countdown to Christmas, etc.

I never bought a toy from them that worked. There was always something wrong with it. I just don't bother anymore.

@Judaline I.m sorry you had such poor luck with their toys. I have bought a lot of toys from QVC with great success - the track with cars is excellent, magnaforms also very good, the flash pad still going strong for 3 years, the two mini flying things met their doom when the children crashed them into the wall - just too young, and the remote tumbling cars also very good.

Many years ago ...when my grandsons were much younger...and the Q. actually brought in fabulous new toys...i bought plenty...all worked great...family members use to look forward to what i would bring as they were so different and so ahead of the stores...

Now the choices are so limited and not something you can't get at any local store up the street...fortunately my grands are older and i don't need toys now...or i would have to search other sites for those great gifts i use to buy here....

@toril No, you haven't missed the toy shows. There were very few this year. They also used to have shows for pets.

They do sell fewer toys now and that might be because the toys they did sell weren't always what kids wanted or played with. The grandparents and great aunts never knew that because no would ever hurt them by telling them. My mom would buy my girls toys from Qvc and most of the time, the toys were things my mom thought the girls wanted, not what the girls really wanted. It was fine when they were young but as they got into their school age years, the toys she bought were more "misses" than they were "hits".
