Cwilliams Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I called my local super center to see if any have come in yet and they said no and have no idea now when or if they will get anymore do to a semi load got stollen in arkansa.
dmmiller Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Yeah, I heard about that the other day. Scary how desperate people are these days.
blessedmama Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Is this really true? Or is it just a rumor or hoax?
Cwilliams Posted November 7, 2006 Author Posted November 7, 2006 I would believe its true. I don't think customer service would tell me this if it was untrue. and I know I would not tell you all a fib.
g-man430 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I already posted this on another thread, but it belongs here too: http://money.cnn.com/2006/11/02/news/companies/stolen_elmo/index.htm?cnn=yes
MICKEY3601 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Cnn is reporting that Wal-mart stated they had 100 stolen. Very sad. Now those theives will sell them for ridiculous amounts of money.
stacimarie Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Arkansans will go to great lengths to get what they want!! I bet you will be seeing them on ebay pretty soon.
justjessie99 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 semi load got stollen in arkansa. ......... All over stupid a fad!!
momof5plus1hubby Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 there are a couple people on ebay selling Elmos in lots of 10 and more..HMMMMM:eek:
g-man430 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Why does everybody want an elmo so badily? I sure can't figure it out.
g-man430 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 All it is is some stupid toy you play with for 10 minutes then your done. Where is the fun in that. It just rolls around and makes noises. Big woop. I would much rather get something electronic then this thing.

disneynutangie Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 The person driving the load probably sold it.

musiang Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Was not me. I got mine the hard way (Waiting 6 hours outside for a small WM to open and I was the first one!) Just curious, these come in a case of 3, so is that 100 Elmo's stolen or that many cases? If it was the Elmo's....What they do, left 2 in a case??
elena_398 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I'd be checking ebay for a seller with multiple elmos. lol
cotejb Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 :lmao: Ok ya'll... fess up.. who stole the truck? OK OK It was me..... $20 a elmo.........i take visa, mastercard, paypal..... Just kidding
emptynest-2 Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 I think that I'll keep my 5 quite til after Thanksgiving. But I didn't steal the truck load either.
elena_398 Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Not me. lol. In ohio, no where near that area
laica2003 Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 that's better than the rumor that our toys super started. they said the new elmo was being put on hold all together for a month because they were being used to smuggle drugs
peachysquirt21 Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Why does everybody want an elmo so badily? I sure can't figure it out.I dont get it either. Reminds me of the last time they had these. People were paying up to $1,000 or more. That is ridiculous to pay that much money for a toy like this. I wish I had money to throw away like this.
Princessarky Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 I called my local super center to see if any have come in yet and they said no and have no idea now when or if they will get anymore do to a semi load got stollen in arkansa. darn sure wish I had run across that truck :)
disneynutangie Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Why couldnt the truck wrecked(no on hurt) on my way to work so I could snag a few of them. I have no need so I would probably just give them away.
mcmc Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 ELMO HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING!! Trey Ewart, 4, of Fayetteville, takes his T.M.X. Elmo to his dad’s shopping cart from a display in the front of the Wal-Mart Super Center in Bentonville, Ark. The shipment of 100 T.M.X. Elmo dolls that went missing on Oct. 31 safely made it to its destination late last night. With 62 days until Christmas, Wal-Mart Associates are in stitches as they work to stock shelves weekly. Shoppers should check often to find the hysterically laughing, belly-clutching, floor-thumping T.M.X. Elmo dolls in time for Christmas. Elmo laughs for a total of almost 90 seconds and as the world’s largest retailer, Wal-Mart has sold enough T.M.X. Elmo dolls to keep them giggling from now until next Christmas.
mtjoycol Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 It's Cabbage Patch kids of the 80's all over again. A very good friend of the family worked for the company that produced the dolls in the 80's. I believe it was "Tyco". Anyway, he told us the ware house had tons upon tons to be delivered the day AFTER christmas. He was able to get one for my little sister on Xmas eve after the shipment was delivered to the toy store ( Kiddie City) on Xmas eve. I think it's rotten they do that. I am SURE there are tens of thousands of those stupid elmo's in a warehouse somewhere.
