Hottest Toy for Xmas 2005?

[queenofshopping]

So in recent years people have battled each other in stores for Furbies, Tickle Me Elmo, etc...what stands out this year as the must-have toy? I've seen that tumbling Tigger around a lot, & Dora stuff seems to be big, but what's #1?

Care Bears and Cabbage Patch have also made a comeback

I know all I've heard about is the Amazing Amanda doll from my daughter and all her friends. I even heard mothers talking about the doll at my daughter's preschool.

I'm on the young side (the year of the cabbage patch insanity was the year i was born) , & it's still jarring to me to see things that were big when i was a kid coming back...i keep saying i shouldve kept my my little ponies for my 2 yo neighbor! i guess 20 or so years is the amt of time it takes for things to go away & come back?

That doll is $100. I am glad my DD isnt asking for one!

I've already gotten the Amazing Amanda doll. Bratz seem to be big on our list this year also.

Oh My, do I feel old now LOL I was only 6 or 7 when there was the insanity over Cabbage Patch Kids the first time, so it's not too bad

[amandasdennis]

Thank God my little girl doesn't want the $100 creepy "chucky" talking doll! The Furbies were more than enough for me!

Got my daughter Amazing Amanda and it cost me $79. It was on sale at TRU for 89 then I had the $10 gift card making my balance $79 then I got another gift card because it was over $75

I saw that "Amazing Amanda" doll at WM and could not believe it was $99.96!!! I actually kept some of my Strawberry Shortcake dolls and some action figures from the "original" Star Wars movies. My kids have really enjoyed them.

My most exciting purchase was my son's dirt bike. I have been looking into buying him one & Pep Boys had the cheapest beginner's bike that I could find. I went up there on BF to just look at it & it was $100 off from 7am-11am. It was 11:03am so I snatched the ticket & ran to the cashier. You ought to see me stuffing a little 50cc bike into my Toyota Camry!!!

Didn't you use the $5 off $25 coupon?

[Guest all2tired]

Nope, I wasn't checking the hot deals and coupon sections of the forums then. I was mainly in the gotta talk lounge. Wish I had it then but it's too late now

[scrappynik]

Bratz and Gameboys

[missyjane]

Hot this year for my kids is the Nintendogs thing. But I've got that covered.

 

Otherwise they both want laptops.....yeah right!

Those Amazing Amanda dolls creep me out LOL.

[msomnipotent]

I read that the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn house is supposed to be popular for the babies this year. It got very high marks in the reviews. Almost every store has them for $59.95, but Meijers wants $99.95!!!! Robbery!!! I wonder what the person who priced it at Meijers was thinking (or smoking)???

Holy cow! I wanted one for DS, but I wasnt going to pay 50.00 for something he would outgrow fast. No way would I pay 100.00!

[deegan123]

The FP Laugh and Learn house is amazing! My youngest, who is seventeen months, LOVES it! He's had it for about six months now and it's the one thing he plays with for hours each day. He loves opening and closing the big door, playing the "radio", ringing the door bell, and opening and closing the windows. I'm sure it's something he will play with for at least another year or so. I was hesitant to buy it, but am so glad I did! It is definitely well worth the $60. I can't believe one store is trying to sell it for $100, though! That's nuts!

That was what I was afraid of. I hadn't been able to find it anywhere off ebay.

XBOX 360. I'm lucky to have grabbed two online; we'll see if they show up on the shelves in the weeks to come, but since launch NOBODY has had these on the shelves.

[KitaKaT]

L-Max Leapster and numerous learning games that go with it and the charger. Still haven't got the batteries. ~sigh~ Thats 250.00 worth.

I heard they will release more about 4 days before Christmas. Just curious though...how much did you pay for yours?
