rjncmj Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Can't find them(teacup piggies) at my Walmart and thier website nor Kmarts doesn't have them listed either.They are really cute and I believe they say something like 40 different phrases.When you lay them on thier side,they go to sleep.Oh, and you can buy additional clothes and accessories for them as well.TRU.co has a bunch listed and all in stock. I don't see them being in big demand. We have not seen any commercials here and have never heard of them before. My daughter thought they were cute on TRU's website but didn't show any interest beyond that. Now if TV became inundated with commercials, it might be a different story.
jade2002 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Yeah last nights the first time we saw a commercial for them.
momof3luvs1 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Anyone see the new littlest pet shop?

I better start looking now.... I saw these a couple weeks ago at TRU. They were in the wrong place, I didn't realize it and saw a tag of $7.99 and I thought it was worth it. Then I realized they had been shoved over from the correct spot with a price of $12.99. Not worth it IMO. Then again I'm having a hard time with most toy prices this year. So many things seem over priced to me. Inflation sucks!

natansyd Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Target has the latest Monster High dolls..Ghoulia and Holt. My Target actually had ALL of them last week...so I would go check them out before they are gone. Not only that, they were only $15.00 each!
we_say! Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 My daughter just got some squinkies and the little teapot for her birthday and she hasn't stopped playing with them! Her Lalaloopsy that she wanted so badly has been sitting dormant. But she thinks the squinkies are so cool and cute. She's 9, so these are definitely for older kids too. Guess I'll be stocking up on them for Christmas!
Kibit13 Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I just saw ZhuZhu pets in the Walmart toy ad. I didn't realize they are still popular. I have seen them at Big Lots (I believe they were 2 for $8 the other day) I also saw them on sale at Build-a-Bear and a few other stores.
HansieDZ Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 What about the Teacup Piggies? DD and I saw these on a commercial last night and well, she instantly fell in love with them. She said there the cutest things ever and says she has to have them all, lol. There was one review on Amazon that thinks these are going to be the next zhu zhu....yeah I know. So has anyone else's kids asked for these yet and have you had any luck in finding them? I'd never heard of these so went looking on Amazon. Yowza! They are priced at $30-$35 now and very limited in stock. Cute,but not THAT cute imo!
Jen8112 Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Everything is way over priced this year. It's very disappointing. Do companies actually think the way out of a recession is to make prices HIGHER on everything?!
totallyBF Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 Ditto and most def!! but i think its worth it bc the toy is so cute and my daughter loves it!! :razz:
totallyBF Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 i have called both toys r us and walmart and none has recieved the 2010 toy catalogs. most people say there going to come out on sundays newspaper! WHY ONE WEEK AFTER THEY RELEASE IT ONLINE!!!??!?!
Teidblgrr Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 I haven't seen mentioned anywhere about the Justin Bieber dolls which are being released right after Thanksgiving. There are 5 or 6 dolls to choose from and pre-orders are being accepted at TRU and Amazon currently. I haven't seen these advertised at all but since everything Bieber is hott:rolleyes: with the preteen/ teenage girl set, I imagine these will be a hard to come by toy for Christmas. I've already preordered mine. :)

Retailers order their holiday stock in spring/early summer, so I think they all thought Zhu Zhu's would still be big. Boy were they wrong and now they're stuck with a lot of stock. I was a huge ZZ hunter/fan last x-mas, I'm so over it! My youngest is asking for the knock-off Furry Frenzies this year and she will get them. Then all the ZZ's will go to goodwill. I'm so tired of all the junky accessories and how much room they take up.
bulldoglover78 Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Xbox kinect I think will be hot. Edited October 26, 2010 by bulldoglover78 typo
rjncmj Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 We have been seeing more of the Teacup Piggy commercials. My oldest daughter is commenting on how cute they are. NOOOOOOOO! I am done shopping , I don't want her getting attached to anything new!
Mandy4Matt Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 I went ahead and pre ordered the singing Just Bieber doll as well. It was from Target through Amazon. I hope there are no hiccups and it gets here before Christmas. I will have one very happy 9 year old!
eversoclever Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 I got the TRU Great Big Christmas Book in the mail today - I live in PA. i have called both toys r us and walmart and none has recieved the 2010 toy catalogs. most people say there going to come out on sundays newspaper! WHY ONE WEEK AFTER THEY RELEASE IT ONLINE!!!??!?!
Scanner420 Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 My kids say the La-La-La Loopsie Dolls are Fra-Fra-Fra-Freaky Looking!!!!! Don't think I'll be buying them this year!!
Teidblgrr Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I preordered the justin bieber doll from tru about a month ago but it said that it doesnt come out until 12/19. Is it coming out b4 then? I checked 3 different websites and they all have different release dates. Dates range from Nov 30 - Dec 19. I'm hoping for the earlier time even though I ordered thru TRU and the date said 12/19 there.

So has anyone else's kids asked for these yet and have you had any luck in finding them? My daughter and I have started seeing the commercials for them, and a lot of commercials too. I'm thinking now interest will pick up. Plus when I was at TRU last week I was checking out Lalaloopsy dolls and the Teacup Piggys were right next to them. There is a ton of stuff available for the Piggys already! I asked zooLert.com to do a video review on them and the guys said they had already been thinking about it so they will check them out. Good call jade!
1angelnhvn Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I'd never heard of these so went looking on Amazon. Yowza! They are priced at $30-$35 now and very limited in stock. Cute,but not THAT cute imo! Are these the same ones you are looking at? 12.99 at TRU for just the pig.........(I'd never heard of them either?) http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-7580250reg.jpg
saiynee Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 So, I went to TRU and got each of my daughters a teacup piggie. They saw the commercials for them a couple of days ago. Figured I'd grab them now before the hype hits, lol.
KrisinTn Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I'm thinking the teacup piggies too. They are super, super cute and since they are entering the race "late" the demand may be high. Think I'll have to pick up a couple of them when I go shopping this weekend. :)

NemoMom07 Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 When I was at Target today I saw that they have done a price cut on the Zoobles. I know the single packs are now $4.50. All the other ones and accessories have been cut as well. However whenI was at TRU and checking out the hexbugs I saw they have raised the prices. Go figure. Shamey on them. This is some of what I need for Christmas.
