zhu zhu pets anyone?

Wow! Amazon is selling them for $20 more! Walmart online had them for $8.00 too. Had me thinking I was looking at the wrong thing. I will just patiently wait and keep stalking walmart on my lunch hour!!

I keep checking walmart online hoping that they might get some in stock. I'd rather do site to store shipping than keep running to walmart every day hoping they have some. I'm really trying to get my christmas shopping done early this year.

Ugh. Still no luck for me. Anyone else?

I got 3 yesterday at Toys R Us, one for each kid. They had a one per customer limit. When I got there there were about 30 people in line. I got my one, paid for it and went back inside. There were still more on the shelf so I did that 2 more times, and there were still more when I left. I figure I wasnt taking them from anyone who was in the store because unlike other people, I dodnt hide them in the store.

A woman was in line in front of me and I was joking and said Darn, I should have pulled my kids out of school so I could buy more. And completely serious she says to me, Thats what I did and pointed out 4 kids all of whom should have been in school. They were all going through line after line after line and by the time I left, the cashier said that lady had taken a whole cart of them and had hidden them behind something and they were having security follow her to see where she hid them then were going to escort her out.

There is NO way those were for personal use.

Wow - way to teach your kiddos. I'll be happy with being able to get one per kid in my house. I've been stalking walmart lately. We don't have a Toys R Us here. Or a Target.....

That's just wrong in so many ways.

I 've had my sets for a week or so now, but I went to TRU every Wed and Fri for about a month and bought them two at a time. I did bring my MIL with me once to get a few extras one day, but we never even tried to go back into the store to buy more that day. It makes me sick all of the people who are selling these things on ebay and Amazon for 3x the price. I feel for all of the little kids who really want these things, have parents who work everyday and can't stalk them out in the AM. nor can they really afford to pay $30.00 for a fake hamster. I really hope karma comes back to the people who are reselling them.

Now I think the people who buy every last one of them to sell should get in trouble, but I hate the one per person limit. I have 4 kids. I want 4 hamsters. One for each of them. I am not selling them. I am not buying a cart full of stuff. It is so annoying that the scammers have ruined it for the rest of us.

The Toys R us by me gives out tickets in the line of how many they have.Your only allowed to get 2 at a time. I have stood in line over and over to not get the ticket. Walmart has had the toys for them but no pets when I get there.
But a friend showed me on the toys r us website. A preorder.You have to buy the 3 pack for $34 adn it will be mailed out by 12/11. Both my kids have asked for them. Now they will just have one to share.
Some of the people in the lines are HORRIBLE!!!! I heard one lady laughing about a women in the front of the line."She was here Tuesday and she didn't get any because we all pushed past her" That was the last day they did it with out tickets. Now they keep them behind the desk.
I heard another women say if she didn't get one she was going to grab one out of somebodies cart.(She also said she had 2 already at home but need all of them)


Update.Looks like they took the presale down.

I've had no luck finding them. I've been looking around when I'm in Wal-Mart and Toys r Us, but they are out. You'll be the awesome aunt, for sure.

Yes, there's a TON posted on eBay. I'm trying to snipe one at or below cost. I don't want to begrudge someone making a few extra bucks, but I hate the way these toys are gobbled up by profiteers. But OTOH, kids can't always get what they want, so maybe it's a good lesson in delayed gratification, lol.

I'm sure they'll be all over the place in January.
