[quote=Anonymous]I bribe my kids. One time, I told them that all of their toys had to fit their toy bins (we had 2). Anything else would go to charity and I would get them ONE new toy that was up to $50. They fell for it hook, line and sinker. So this is what I do when I just get overwhelmed by toys. I set parameters (all toys need to fit in X) and anything else goes to charity, and I will buy you one large toy up to $X. I've upped the ante to $100 at 8 and 10. Win-win for all of us. Since they get to pick, they don't wonder "What happened to x toy?". Also, OP, you might want to decide you will not open any more Lego/Beyblades/MLP/whatevers, since you kids have tons of them anyway. I refuse to open any more Lego - I just got $200 back at Target for unopened Legos. Any birthday or Christmas gifts that are not opened with in a certain period of time are re-gifted, or returned if possible. You have to purge, but you also have to limit what they get, as well.[/quote]
