"T.M.X.” Elmo

Dream 09-20-2006

Yesterday the Red Machine is back and ready for all the kids in our lives.

"T.M.X.” Elmo will tickle America’s funny bone with three interactive tickle spots on his chin, tummy or toe. When kids tickle Elmo once on any of the tickle spots, he starts to laugh and slap his leg twice, then falls down into a sitting position and rocks himself back up to standing while laughing. When they tickle him a second time, he repeats the pattern even more, then sits down again and falls backwards onto his back and starts kicking his feet while laughing even harder. He then stands back up and asks to be tickled again. And on the third tickle he absolutely lets loose going through the first two patterns and then rolling over onto his tummy where he starts hitting the floor with his hand in gales of laughter, then rolling onto his back, standing up again, and ending with a deep sigh. Requires 6 AA batteries.

I want one! Get me one please! Don't even know why I want one. I guess it can be my teddy bear when I go to sleep unless someone else wants to be my teddy bear.

Thats a line my mom would say. Haha anyways, I want to get one for my babies for Christmas, but I think they cost too much.

BonitaPajarita

Not to mention they are practically already sold out everwhere.

I pre-order at Target using some 10% coupon Sinny gave me. Too bad Target works with amazon and has horrible shipping times.

Pussy

They did sell out fast. I talked to a ew stores and they said they was never able to put them on the selves. They was sold out in pre-orders before able to put them int he stores.

BonitaPajarita

Some stores don't do pre-orders or rain checks because they kind of follow on the first come first serve basis of purchasing the item in the store. However I guess so moms wouldn't be trampling and fighting over themselves (like idiots) over a stuffed toy as other moms have done in the past with such things as the first elmo's, barney, ferbies, beany babies, etc. They handled it a different way and allowed pre-orders etc.

THANK GAWD!

What's even worse is what kind of example are you showing your children. Teaching them to beat there way through people to obtain a toy they probably don't really need at that moment I think could be done differently and also teach a lesson or two (patience, saving up, etc). I can understand if its something like christmas or birthday but other than that going through extraneous lengths to obtain a toy is a bit ridiculous, especially when your child already has plenty of other toys that he/she has not grown out of yet.

Remember that case where the woman died after getting trampled, or the woman being hospitalized over punches and bruses, or the other case where 2 women got sent to jail...OVER A FREAKIN TOY!

If I get one I'm giong to die it black or atlest a very dark red. And ofcourse you know have to get it a whole new wardrobe.

I'm seriously trying to get one for my babygirl's b-day party November 11~ I can't find any. I didn't think it would be so hard here in Alvin, cuz these hillbillys typically arent into trends.

BonitaPajarita

Well considering Alvin is close to a major city and then its also close to some nice neighborhoods, you would be very suprised. There are more people into elmo than you think. It does help to checkout all surrounding areas though. For example depending on the cost (if its high in price) go to a more ghetto area (call first before you go) you may have more luck there. Now dont everybody start trippin' cause I said that....my point is that depending on the type of area that store is in depends on how fast an item will go of the shelves. For example my friend one year was trying to find some CD by a rapper/hiphop star and all places he checked were sold out, he thought about it and called an area thats a bit more uppity-up and they had plenty of the CD unlike other places that were completely sold out.

Its just a thought and an idea that might work out.

G'Luck.

Chun-Li

Sugar, ask someone who has a hookup in department and toy stores. I think that's about the only way you going to be able to get one by that date.Have someone to hold one for you.

Mina

i want one for my niece.

Chello

These are very hard to get. Its going to take about a year like the last ones before they easily to get. I would pre-order at any store if you have the chance.

Natalie

We have alot of parents and some females at work trying to find these all the time on the computers or on their phones. So far only one person I work with is known to have got one so far.

Chello

We got 2 of them. Here's a video of what it does exactly.
