As I told Benji weeks ago this craze for Elmo's is ridiculous. It was a huge scam by the Manufacturer. As I predicted the prices would drastically fall after "Black Friday". There are two reasons for the failure. #1 all the idiots who horded them and flooded the market. You see there wouldn't even have been a demand if those idiots would have left them on the shelf and just bought for themselves. Now all of these idiots are stuck with the LAME little red monster in a box.
Christmas day we thought WOW Elmo will be a big hit with my 22 month old and 4 year old. No interest at all. I found the other kids in the family thought it was lame too. Big bomb. There is not 1 thing special or different about this Elmo as opposed to the dozens of other Elmos out there.
Save your money. There are much better Elmos and other Figures out there. Chicken Dance and Hokey Pokey Elmo are wonderful and the kids love them. The New Baby Spiderman was a huge hit for both my kids yesterday, as its much more exciting.
Here's the BIG THUMBS DOWN on TMX ELMO. Look for the stores to be completly stocked and prices going down. Don't rush out if you really have to buy one. These things are not even worth the MSRP. This thing is worth about $20 new in box, and if you buy it here the shipping should only be about $10. I recomend saving the hassle and just getting one at Walmart or Toys R Us in a week or so.
Finally a word to the wise: Never listen to the "Hot Xmas" propaganda. Nintendo Wii was a Bomb and So was TMX Elmo... Get my point. Ebay Elmos
