Anyone notice the outlandish pricing of cheap toys for kids this year?

I was maybe the 30th person in line waiting to get into Toys R Us on Black Friday. All my kid wanted was a playset for the "all of a sudden" popular Zhu Zhu Pets. Everywhere you look on the internet you'll find a bunch of selfish, money hungry jerks selling these products for insane amounts of money! I bought 3 zhu zhu hamsters 2 months back for $24, and now they're going for 10 times the amount or more! People are buying the entire stock on the shelves and not giving anyone a chance to own because all they think about is the money. It's pathetic! Curse all you jerks who bought an over supply just to make a profit on a toy that costs hardly anything. Reminds me of the selfish acts from years before with Tickle me Elmo and the Furby.

Answer
Just like Furby and Beanie babies the fad will eventually wind down and they will be everywhere. You'll find Zhu Zhu pets at every toy store on sale, and at thrift stores, and yard sales, and eBay. I remember when beanie babies were so popular, now you find them at Goodwill for 25 cents a beanie baby.

Who thinks that Tickle Me Elmo TMx is a huge scam!?

I'm so tired of companies doing this crap just to drive up sales right before Christmans! Are you telling me that they can't produce enough to keep up with supply? Duh of course they can but then they wouldn't have all this free publicity and hype to drive up last minute sales! I feel like boycotting the companies that do this. Am I the only one who is fed up with marketing people trying to make a cheap buck off parents who just want to make their kids Christmas special?

Answer
At least you don't need to put Tickle Me Elmo TMx's in your car to get to work each day or use Tickle Me Elmo TMx's to cure the cancer that is ravaging your body.

Oil companies....drug companies....toy companies...if it is run by a human it is corrupt.
