Rose0426 Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I know this is late, but I just got off work and my TRU in Newark, DE is having some sort of package deal with Zhu Zhu pets for $129.00 (?). It includes 2 pets and and some accessories. Just heard about it in passing and don't know all the details as to what is included except for the 2 pets. As always, better line up early.
klastar Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I was in TRU yesterday getting 2 Zhu Zhu's and they said that starting Sunday they would have the whole city on sale for $129.00..this includes The Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters Giant Hamster City Playset includes Fun House, Hamster Wheel, Hamster Car and Garage, Sleep Dome, Adventure Ball, and two Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters. They open at 7 and the clerk said people would be camping out for these...I am NOT one of them.

Cheapola Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I really do not understand the whole 'hype' of this damned toy is.. Its kinda ridiculous.. People camping out at all hours of the day just for some HAMSTERS. Seriously, come on now.. Ridiculous I tell ya.. Yeah one of my daughters would LOVE one of these cause they lost their real life hamster a while back, but still.. NOT gonna be one of those idiots standing out in the cold, and snowy (at least it is here) weather just for a damned HAMSTER.. That and I don't have $130+ to pay for these... Okay done venting -Dave
rebecca7675 Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Went at 930am to mine and they still had a whole pallet left. So if you did not get one you still might be able too.
Cheapola Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Not gonna spend that amt of money for some hamsters.. Even if I had it.. hah..
Ferg1221 Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 There are dozens of these in every store. Everyone walks up and grabs one and then looks at the price and puts it back. Most of the people camping out for these are re-sellers, and these won`t be re-selling for much more.
andybrooke Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Our TRU was full of people, the hamsters were setting on a table at the front of the store... no one was touching them..
lovetoshopCA Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 I kind of figure these will go the way of beanie babies in a few months. It never ceases to amaze me what people will do to get the "hot" toy. If it is that insane to get, we just tell our kids no. Or we tell them that we'll wait till we can get it reasonably. It looks like ebay is flooded with them already. They are selling for about $190 + S/H.
scrapwave Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 I went to my local CVS to see if they had any because I thought my 5 year old niece might enjoy it for Christmas. The manager said they were sold out and that I could check on ebay because that's probably where they all are..that people were buying them 10+ at a time when they put them on the shelves. Umm..no thank you. I'm not paying an outrageous amount on ebay for one...my niece hasn't even asked for them..I just thought if I could happen to get one she *might* like it. Don't get the frenzy over them though.
pinktink69 Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 My dd told me she has to have one. I figured if I could get one for $9 I would pick one up that way in Feb when she was done playing with it the cats would have a blast..
klastar Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 My dd told me she has to have one. I figured if I could get one for $9 I would pick one up that way in Feb when she was done playing with it the cats would have a blast..I only bought 2 hamsters, $7.49 a piece for my granddaughter. I thought the same things when she is done with them in a month or so my cats will love them.
msmama Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 check shopko.com, they have them in stock today. tues @ 5pm. the heck with TRU
AndreaInNC Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 got an email last night that said first 50 TRU reward card holders in line tomorrow 12/10 at 7am will get a Zhu Zhu .. http://view.ed4.net/v/2HU37A/V2NK1/LQ475L7/DSKOV/MAILACTION=1&FORMAT=H
waitress07419 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Check TRU now - just came back from the store and got the SKATEBOARD! Finally - the set is complete. There weren't any hamsters but everything else was in stock! Good Luck!
suzy3333 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Thanks for sharing, Andrea. I have a rewards card but never got that email. Although I'm not into the zhu zhu pets, I perched right up when I saw the coupon for the Similac. I was just there today and purchased 1 case ($35.94). Looks like I'm going tomorrow to return that one and then purchase the 3 I would be allowed. Then I would have also hit my 9 cases and then I would get a free one. Thanks, again. :)
AndreaInNC Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 my kids are waay past the Zhu Zhu stage - but I'm thinking of heading over really early tomorrow morning to snag one for Toys for Tots. Wonder what time I should be there?
imgamehere Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 My local TRU is telling people that ask abut Zhu Zhu pets, that on Saturday they are giving away a Zhu Zhu pet to the first 100 customers through the door.
rjncmj Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 They actually are not giving them away, but guaranteeing the first 100 people in have a chance to buy a Zhu Zhu.
AndreaInNC Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 The TRU in Cary, NC said they would have Zhu Zhus every day from now till Christmas. Have to ask for them at customer service. They had a huge buggy full of them at 730am this morning .. no new ones though ..
