Nativity Sets - - Veggie Tales

By Barbara Crews, About.com

Veggie Tales? Are you clueless? I was clueless for a long time, but then the talking (Bob) tomato, lanky (Larry) cucumber and shop-a-holic (Madame) blueberry came into our lives via a three year old grandson.

According to one toy expert, religious toys are becoming more popular every year and that's what Veggie Tales are. A group of characters that always tell a story with a moral.

And if you are aware of Veggie Tales and have been looking for some discontinued pieces on eBay, you know just how widely popular these characters are. A Larry Boy toy can sell for $30 - $65 -- for a used one!

Since many of the toys can be hard to find, The Veggie Tales Nativity is often available through the secondary market most of the year, but is usually re-issued in early fall for the Christmas season. It's a cute set that the kiddies will love. Don't wait until after the holidays to get it on sale or cheaper. That strategy just doesn't work with Veggie Tales.

It's so popular around here that we created a Veggie Tales Nativity set for the city park display.
