Big Crayons Out The Wazoo...

[11bravo]

Looked all over today for a crayon bank but found nothing.
Hobby Lobby, Dollar General, Wal-Mart, Target, Staples, Shopko, & Wall-Green. Nada.
Searched on e-bay and waaaaa-

76 54" blue crayons for $9.99 each buy it now.
Shipping $7.50 for the first and $3.00 each additional.
I sent an e-mail to the guy to see if other colors are available.
Anyone around north-central Iowa or going to AIRFest interested in sharing shipping cost?

Greg

Edit: Forgot to add that 36" versions are $5.99 buy it now.
Shipping the same.

For the second time,

Toys R Us is usually a good place to find a Crayon Bank. I got a couple there for about 5 dollars each.

I don't have a Toys R Us within 100 miles.
Well, maybe 75 miles; there maybe on in Waterloo.
I'll have to look.

Try Toysrus.com. Last time I ordered they had 3 sizes, largest being the 54" halo-sparkle foil covered at 7.99 on sale.

The last time I went looking for some cheap crayon banks, the local stores told me that they were 'seasonal' items that are only stocked prior to Christmas. Huh. I sure never would have made THAT connection.

Anyway, I found some at a local dollar-type-store but they are only about two feet long. If that is big enough, and if you can wait until I get home tonight to measure, I can PM you with details. I can certainly get them for you cheaper than that ebay price.

Let me know

Stopped at a different Dollar Store and they had ONE.
$3.00. Its one of the 36" ones. Grey.

Now gotta find some Lexan, and start thunking it through.

Would these 7" diameter by 54" long Crayons work?

Thanks!

I went into a diner on a chilly September and ordered Chili.

The watress told me it wasn't "in season"

Do they really have to wait until the Chili is ripe?

Maybe the crayons only get ripe after November...with the chili!
