Just picked mine....er I mean the kids'....up tonight from Woolowrths.

It is a Top Secret one (if that actually makes any difference??)

Mine were delivered today, less than a week after ordering from the woolworths site showing the 'Warning' box.

They are all 'Top Secret' boxes.

Thinking of offloading 3 of them next month as there is going to be a hell of a lot more than 147 ebay listings come December.

I am keeping 2 for presents.

The ONLY thing that will matter, though, is if there are none in the shops and more people wanting them than are actually listed on ebay, surely?

i looked everywhere for a elmo.. i finally got one from woolworths online. but today i go to my local shops. 2 mins walk from me and to my surprise a shop there has got them. The shop is just a small family business shop that sells toys household goods and cards.. I was shocked to see Elmo there on the counter. LOL

Reminds me of a good few years ago (pre ebay days) when beanie babies were all the rage and the bears in particular were what everyone wanted, independent toy shopekeepers across London were charging £70 upwards for a £5 bear and my daughter was determined to have one. I wasn't having any of it.
Xmas eve I walked up the road to meet a friend, and a wierd little bric a brac shop I'd never noticed before had a whole set of these bears in the window.
Walked in and and the lady said a fiver each, so bought a complete set (think it was about 6 bears or so). Devised a little treasure hunt with clues etc for my daughter on xmas morning and we had a teddy bears picnic in the afternoon ;+)
She's 16 now and still talks about it...as the best crimbo ever. I think she's still under the impression I paid £70 a bear - No Chance

Woolworths still seem to have plenty left so i guess there not that hard to find as also Amazon have stock.

Although Woolworths depatch date changed from 10th Oct to the 24th Oct so i guess they are waiting on more to arrive?

Amazon have no stock and AFAIK haven't since they sold their initial batch on the first day.

Edit: Prices on Amazon.com are creeping up all the time. Lowest price is now $170. If these REALLY DO become impossible to find in the shops around December time, is it beyond the realms of posibility for that price to rise to $500-ish? And what about if the Top secret packaging really does become a Collector's item?
