Hot Toy for Christmas 2009
I hit the jackpot with the Hot Christmas Toy for this year!! A few months back the boys saw the TV ad for the Zhu-Zhu pet and of course they wanted one. I had forgotten about them until an on-line friend started talking about this little electronic hamsters. Of course I find out at the same time that they are VERY hard to find and people are already paying more than double for them on Ebay! When I stopped in Target this morning to pick up a few things, I decided to just look and see if they happened to have any. JACKPOT!!! They actually had a bunch of the hamsters and a good amount of the accessories as well :) Not wanting to be a hog, I picked up one set of the 4 hamsters and then 2 additional hamsters just in case I heard of someone needing them. I also picked up a couple of the balls, and the car/garage. I went along with my shopping and got to thinking I should have picked up a couple more of the little $8 hamsters so I headed back to pick up a couple more. On my way there, I saw a business man (could tell by the way he was dressed) rushing away from the aisle with his arms piled with the little hamsters. Of course when I got there they were all gone, he had cleaned them out. I later found out that every other store limits you to one or two of the hamsters! I was then at Wal-Mart the next day and found the rest of the accessories I was needing! WOOHOO!! I didn't even end up having to pay above market price for any of the pieces :) And I was able to help some friends avoid that as well.
**As of the beginning of December, the hamsters were selling on Ebay for $30+ and there have even been fights at stores over the crazy little things!!
