What is the “must have” toy this year? Years ago it was tickle-me-elmo and many years ago it was cabbag patch dolls. What’s this year?
I believe Chicken Dance Elmo is supposed to be hot. Otherwise, nothing’s really caught the country’s attention.
something called fur real friends its sort of a robotic cat
Tickle-Me Dildo!
This is supposed to be a hot item too, at least in MN. Radio shack has a 2 page waiting list.
Oh, I didn’t mention that they only receive 6-12 a week in shipment! A lot of people I know are looking and can not find them anywhere.
Thanks for the responses guys! I must say that I’m disappointed though, I really expected some sort of consenses.
Nah, it doesn’t happen every year. I haven’t heard of anything, and I have a two-year old, so I figure I would be likely to. Not that she would get whatever-it-was; no way am I standing in line for hours and fighting other people to get some random toy.
I second what BluMoon beat me to.
I think BeyBlades are all the rage in the 8 - 12 year old boy category. A BeyBlade is some sort of customizable, modular spinning top. We’ve got a few and my son and hubby can’t get enough of 'em. When we went to Target this weekend, they were out. WalMart only had two kinds.
The New York Times ran an article about this on Saturday. It’s available online for those registered with the NY Times website (registration is free) at http://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/16/business/16TOY.html
Kids this year all want Kitchen Vixen Soaps, they just don’t know it yet.
(All kidding aside, when I was at Toys ‘R’ Us getting my brother’s kids’ gifts the lady behind the counter told me the Karaoke machines were flying off the shelves. I told her “thanks, but I don’t hate my brother that much.”)
