My daughter whose an 8 year old with a rare chromosone disorder loves "Annie", My husband and I were in New York this past spring with our daughter and decided to take her to this wonderland Toy store. Given that "Annie" was suppose to take place in New York City and with lots of references to some pretty iconinc buildings which we took our daughter to, we were hoping to be able to find an "Annie" doll or at least create one. Much to our disappointment and hers there was no "Annie" dolls anywhere but lots of other dolls from Dorothy to Shirley Temple but no Annie. However we did end up buying a stuffed Steiff Penguin much resembling "Happy Feet" so she was happy about that. We had a great time on the piano and just enjoyed the step back in time as we wondered through the Holly Hobbies and Raggedy Anne dolls. What a great store! Hope you get an Annie doll soon. We sure would love one! Leyanne Philp B.C Canada

I used to be a big fan of FAO, but after hyping it up to my four year old it was a huge let down. The piano was off limits, the displays ok, the customer service HORRIBLE and downright rude. Toys r us in time square had better displays, nicer employees, the ferris wheel, better selection.
