With the season of jolly upon us, we are looking in our local exchanges for the things our kids want most.
On my sons list?
Yu-Gi-Oh toys. There are none to be found.  A top seller in the real world, but beyond AAFES reach. Craploads of DBZ... well, not craploads- lots of the same toy in stock, but not a selection.
My daughter likes Barbies- and although there are 4 kinds of 30 dollar and up collectible dolls- there are few of the dolls appropriate for younger girls- there are lots of "Bratz" dolls-( aka- Whore dolls) for them. How about Barbie Clothes? No?
How about a simple box of Crayons? Some coloring books?
Playdough- just cans of it- not a kit... I shouldn't have to stock up it throughout the year when I happen to find it at the Shopette- It a simple thing that every toy section should have. Viewmaster disc refills- also holiday essentials for the stuffing of stockings.
Batman. Big this year.... no action figures on the marvel front that I was able to locate. (Batman, superman, Xmen, Spiderman-por nadda) Not too many Star Wars for that matter. Do your ordering people WATCH the movies? Harry Potter?!
A friend went down about 2 months ago and put two boys bikes on layway- when she went to pick them up- they brought out pink girl bikes....

How about AAFES orders more than 10 of any one thing that might be a big item (like bikes) to compensate for the thousands of shoppers in the KMC.

Ok enough ranting. You work on these there, AAFES Maestro/manager.
I have online shopping to do.

WHY WOULD THEY CARE ABOUT YOU OR ANY OTHER LEGITIMATE CUSTOMERWHEN THEY COULD SELL JUST ABOUT ANYTHING TO A GERMAN OR SOMEONE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST OR THE BALKANS.

Jolly,

Are you saying "GERMANS OR SOMEONE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST OR THE BALKANS" are not legitimate customers.  Last time I looked around in our stores we had the most diverse customer base in the world.  I am sure your friend in higher places than you would love to hear you talk about their spouses like that.  Mr. Drill Sgt.
