This years hot toy

Voodoobillyman - 10-13-2006 at 09:39 AM

Alright so the craze is on and this year the culprit is TMX Elmo. So..............do any of you have children that are into this and have asked for one? If so, how far are you willing to go to get one? Right now my wife is scouring everywhere for one of these things and although I criticize her for it (my lil one is only 15 months and has no clue about TMX Elmo, she does love Elmo though) she rolls with the punches and keeps on keepin on. I giver her credit, she's smart enough not to be one of these assholes who will pay outrageous fees to attain one of these things, she insists on paying fair market value.

my kid is two and a half now, but there's still no particular toy out on the market she thinks she "needs". same deal, i think - she loves elmo, but she has an elmo. she doesn't know for TMX! if it's yellow and/or a book, she's stoked. god, we must read 20 books a day to this kid.

Thats awesome Big D, and so important too! My lil gal loves books as well and no matter what I'm doing at 8 oclock (bedtime) I come in and read her a story. I love it. She seems to really enjoy Eric Carle, it's the colorfull pictures, but she's always pulling his books out of the bookshelf. I'm going to have to videotape myself reading ALOT of stories for her when it's time for me to deploy overseas again.

yeah, my kid wouldn't like that. she's not a huge fan on animatronic toys.

I am going to wait in line at wal mart, get one, put it on layaway for $60.00, and post it on ebay. Once I recieve payment, I will pick it up from wally world and ship it off.

PS3 is way too expensive for what I can afford

My son has a hungry catepillar onesie.

He's into Brown Bear Brown Bear. We also got him the companion to that, and more exotic version, Panda Bear Panda Bear.

Eric Carle is pretty good. I'm looking forward to the day when my son can understand and think that Dr Suess is funny.... Suess is hilarious. I'm partial to Hop on Pop and There's a Wocket in my Pocket for pure silliness.
