Big Bird's nest sale
Season 39 (2008)

Big Bird organizes a nest sale to sell toys he no longer plays with, welcoming viewers to the scene. He clarifies that all toys inside the nest are for sale, while everything outside, including Radar, is not. Snuffy arrives, and Big Bird makes him his "Assistant Nest Sale Snuffleupagus." Snuffy's task is to remember which toys are for sale and which are not, particularly Radar. Big Bird briefly leaves to get more toys from Maria and Luis's apartment, putting Snuffy in charge. However, Big Bird unknowingly knocks Radar into the nest with his tail as he exits.

The Count comes to the nest sale with a shopping cart, eager to buy toys to count. Snuffy explains the nest sale rule, and the Count decides to buy all the toys, including Radar, for 1,000 birdseeds. The Count counts 20 toys in his cart and leaves to count them again, exclaiming his love for retail. Big Bird returns, and Snuffy tells him about the successful sale. Big Bird looks for Radar and realizes he might have been sold to the Count. They set out to find the Count and retrieve Radar.

Outside 123 Sesame Street, the Count lines up the toys on the wall to count. Big Bird and Snuffy interrupt his counting, causing him to start over. Big Bird points out that Radar is missing, and the Count reveals he gave Radar away to a tall, thin monster with curly hair for his teddy bear collection. Big Bird and Snuffy begin searching for this monster.

In the yard, a group of monsters plays freeze tag, allowing Big Bird and Snuffy to observe each monster when they're frozen. They find a tall, thin monster with curly hair holding Radar. However, the monster doesn't have Radar but his stuffed monkey, Tarzan. He tells them he gave Radar to someone else, leaving Big Bird and Snuffy disappointed.

Back at the nest, Big Bird and Snuffy search through the toys, hoping to find Radar. A girl named Kaitlyn comes to the sale and offers to trade a teddy bear for a baseball glove. The teddy bear turns out to be Radar! Kaitlyn explains that the monster gave Radar to her because her teddy bear was missing, but she found it and doesn't need Radar anymore. Big Bird happily reunites with Radar and continues to hold him in his arms.

In another scene, Rosita rushes into the nest sale, looking for the letter of the day, X, and finds it in Big Bird's nest. Later, Rosita frantically searches for the number of the day (2) and finds it in Big Bird's nest as well.
