jlodoj Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 There is such a craze going on right now with the new TMX Elmo. Most everywhere is sold out and a few stores are still taking orders that should come in within the next two to four weeks. I also read that only 1/3 of the normal Elmo production was made this year. Do you guys think it will be able to be found by BF?

momof2many Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 We love Elmo...at least I do! so is he an updated version of Tickle me Elmo???
Aaron Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 “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.http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=8001&e=sesstProduct&selCat=ss_tmx&pid=35910
twilightcalm Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 If you go to www.youtube.com and punch in elmo tmx in the search box a ton of videos pop up. That thing is funny. I am going to buy 1 for myself as soon as I can get my hands on 1.
EliteABombAZ Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 They are going for $80 on Ebay! I predict $250-300 TMX Elmos on Ebay this holiday season!
gisellerol Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 thank god I got my hands on 3 I dont want to be scrambling around paying high prices for them
d56nut Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I'm so excited that I was able to get one ordered on the PBS website this morning. From what I can tell, they are no longer taking orders. I probably should have ordered more than one but I was just happy to be able to order. We've watched the video clip on cnn several times and we just roar with laughter every time we watch it. Thanks for posting that PBS still had them available to order! Michelle
jellybean051901 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 According to an article in the PLain Dealer (CLeveland, OH) they don't expect to have any left by Dec 1.
RossMAN Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 We visited Walmart yesterday and they were SOLD OUT They don't expect to receive another shipment for a few weeks
callsheb Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Our toys r us had them the other day my daughter in law reserved hers and when she went to pick it up she thought she would have to wait in line. No one was there and she got a extra one paid 39.99 for them but she has not opened them yet just the flap on the box which says no peeping. She is waiting for xmas to be surprised like my grandson.
HBKitmitto Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 They are sold out by me. How sad. I told my husband that we should have reserved one or two but he thought "It's a little toy. Why on earth would we have to reserve it?" Silly husband!!
Aaron Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 We visited Walmart yesterday and they were SOLD OUT They don't expect to receive another shipment for a few weeks We know, you REALLY wanted one.
Cheri0113 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I was at Costco today in Oregon and they had a whole pile of them for $34.99
Aaron Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I was at Costco today in Oregon and they had a whole pile of them for $34.99You might want to buy one and keep it - it will be worth a bit of money during the holidays if things keep going they way they are going. :)
CarpeDiem Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I snagged 22 of em and am making a killing on ebay :)

Do you guys think it will be able to be found by BF? check out your local craigslist.several people in my area have them for trade or barter
d56nut Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Totally bummed. I ordered one through PBS when they were at 39.99. They were marked Backorder but they were still taking the orders. Just got an email from them (2 days later) that says they cancelled my order because they had too many orders and they don't know when they would be able to fill it. Oh well, win some lose some. Michelle
devilpup00 Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I forgot about them coming out. My daughter had her very first dental appt and was freaked out. I thought we would swing by toys r us to pick up something to make her feel better. There was a big stack of them. We took one home with us, but she is afraid of it if its turned on. Oh well
Aaron Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I snagged 22 of em and am making a killing on ebay :)Are you serious?

vonnyb Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Guys check your local area COSTCO's. I have been told that they did still have some in stock. Make sure to call the store before going out. I know when that last Harry Potter book came out and they were sold out everywhere else Costco's still had a ton of them. Also if you are not a member just get a free one day pass.
nickle831 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 OMG after seeing that video I want one!!!!
Firemansgal311 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 They are on Fisher Price's webiste right now, for delivery after Dec 8th, limit 4. I have been looking everywhere for them!!! Some guy is selling a link to the FP site on ebay for $5. It goes into the whole I am not sure but I believe they will ship 12-8 etc... and ppl are buying them If only we could point them here for free.
Cheri0113 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Geez....maybe I should go back to Costco and grab me a couple of them tomorrow.
CarpeDiem Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Yep Aaron :) Sold all but one hanging on to it incase they go even higher sold em all for about $100 each some a few $ less than $100 but just about $100 each, one lot of 10 and one lot of 5 :)
d56nut Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Finally! I found some! After getting an email from PBS saying they cancelled my order (cancelled all the backorders) I figured I wouldn't be able to find any. Picked up 15 of them yesterday! I've been dragging my butt out at 3 in the morning every night to check the all night places and finally found some. The employees were laughing when I walked in. After 3 nights in a row they new what I was after and as I walked down the aisle one of the girls yelled to me "We got them, we got them!!!" Felt like I scored a touchdown! Michelle
