I remember the first tickle me Elmo shortage the toy got more air time on TV than Katrina and people were paying 5x the regular price.  People are funny!

And now this is only an anniversary edition. People were lining up infront of wal-mart 7 hours BEFORE the store even opened!

I just got one for my nephew.....friggin hilarious!

I was involved in the '96 craze.....I HAD to get one for my daughter or not come home!

Should have sold the damn thing on ebay and just split the profit with your nephew lol!

My mother waited for over four hours at Wal Mart when the sales began at midnight.  At first I thought she was nuts!  But then I thought that she had never done anything like this before for her three other grandchildren, so I thought Rhiannon really has a grandmother who truely thinks something extra special about her!

I know i'm gonna regret this, but what is a furby?

A furby is this little annoying thing that repeats what you say.  It actually was banned from government buildings due to this ability.  It was a big craze for awhile, now people can't give those away easily....   Google them if you want more info on them.
