| This time of year the regular walmart types fill up with toys. Usually doubling or tripling their normal stock. |

| And that's about all. As far as I know, there are no Toys Я Us- type stores in Mexico. |

As far as I know Wal-Mart, Comercial Mexicana, Soriana, Sears, Liverpool, and Sanborns all have toy sections.
Also there is the Mexican chain of toy stores, Merceria del Refugio:

Also, in downtown Mexico City, near Santo Domingo there is an area where a huge street market of toys springs up and there are various small toy shops (in the same area) as well. |

Don't encourage them. |

| Mercado Sonora has a huge toy store next to it, and the mercado itself has a lot of toy vendors. Sonora is somewhat close to metro Fray Servando. |

| With Mexican children receiving presents from both Santa Claus and the Reyes Magos, no wonder there are so many places to buy toys in Mexico City this time of year! |

I went by Sanborn's at the Angel today and saw quite a few Disney stuffed animals, Silence. No Goofys I'm afraid but they had just about every other Disney character. I found it pricey at 250 pesos for a 10 inch tall Pluto.
You might get lucky at some other Sanborn's though. |

| After days of searching through Mexico City, I did manage to find Goofy. It was in the toy department of El Palacio de Hierro. I was with the person that was to receive it at the time, so I waited 2 days then returned alone and to find only 2 left in the store. Thanks to everyone that helped. |
