Will Elmo Live! Be Hard to Find This Holiday Season?
So, I was very eager to get my hands on this year’s Elmo Live to for a review, so I started searching for him as soon as he was released. In 2006, I searched far and wide for A TMX Elmo. This year, I had a bit of initial trouble finding one locally, then ordered one (easily) online for the $69.99 suggested retail. After I ordered it, I also found an large pile of them at my local Toys R Us (they got a restock after the initial sell-out.
Overall, I think that you shouldn't have much trouble finding an Elmo Live! if you want him this year, thanks to the difficult economy and the very high price tag. Also, this time Fisher Price should be well-aware of the high demand for this toy and should have the shelves well stocked.
A current look at the supply (early November) shows that Elmo Live is readily available on Amazon.com at suggested retail, and there are several thousand of them on eBay, with many being sold even a bit below retail.
