Elmo Live! on sale tomorrow for $59.99 (if you're lucky)

After the whole Tickle Me Elmo craze a few years back, you just knew Fisher-Price was going to ride this wave until it simply couldn't stay afloat any longer. Elmo Live!, hailed as the "most innovative and engaging Elmo toy ever," will officially hit store shelves tomorrow (October 14th) for $59.99, though we suspect the first batch will be snapped up in no time flat. Of course, those of you intent on retaining your sanity probably pre-ordered a few months back, but for everyone else, your battle to get one of this year's hottest holiday gifts starts in under 24 hours. For those wondering what's so special about this fellow, he supposedly tells jokes and makes movements that "give kids the feeling that Elmo is alive in their own homes." Whether that's really a good thing, however, is totally up to you.

Just wait till around December 5th, when the stores are out, and online buying is scarce with the exception of eBay. Then the prices will rise to well over $100. You'll see. Parents wait until the last minute to buy their children Christmas toys. Look at the Toys R Us parking lot and store come December. Prey on peoples stupidity, it is easy money. P.T. Barnum said, "There is a sucker born every minute." That is a whole bunch of people to buy my Elmo Live's!

Target is still taking online orders for $59.99, will ship in 2 - 6 weeks. Why pay more on EBAY?

The reason they are never sold out on that site is because it directs you to e-bay. However, they are selling below retail on E-bay and I just picked one up at 15% off (w/coupon) at Toys-R-Us where they had dozens of them. Who knows, it might not be a hot seller this year, but if you are set on getting one, I'd buy it now.
