    Mine came from Hamley's today, very well packaged. However when you lift the lid it's all double dutch whereas the other I saw in The Entertainer yesterday you could quite clearly hear what it was saying. Has anyone else got a double dutch one?????:confused::confused:

    My 2 arrived from Hamley's today and after reading your post I just checked them both. All I hear is giberish (sp?) and icklish n here.

    Man robbed of TMX Elmo at gunpoint

    TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 25 (UPI) -- Florida law enforcement officials say a Tampa man was given the choice of his life or his Tickle Me Extreme Elmo doll.

    The popular new toy was taken at gunpoint from the victim who told a 911 operator that the robber said he would have no problem shooting if he didn't hand over Elmo, the New York Daily News reports.

    Apparently securing the doll has become a matter or life and death or possibly life and money since Elmo can fetch big bucks from desperate parents.

    Released last Tuesday, Elmo sold out in 10 minutes at the Toys "R" Us in New York's Times Square.

    The latest edition in the Tickle Me series not only wiggles and giggles but can stand up by itself after falling over.

    Does your box have Top Secret or Warning on it, there are 2 types of boxes with English speaking Elmos perhaps they have different phrases as well.
    Or you could have a Spainsh or French version!

    There's a seller on ebay.com who is selling 3 types of Elmo, 1 spanish and the other 2 have different style boxes for $300,000.

    You could be his main competition.:p
  • A company has just loaded 40 ontp EBay at £43 plus £9 postage so not point trying to sell above that

    All 9 of mine from Woolies said No Peeping and have Top Secret on the front.
  • It must be a marketing thing, to keep people talking about the Elmo TMX :D

  • Mine arrived form Hamleys and when you open the lid he says "o oh elmo feeling really tickelish in here", if that helps those of you who are getting garble.
    Watch out, you never know who is about.
