  • Well as I'd not heard of it before today, should you maybe wait and see if it takes off or not?

    If it's that popular the product will initially sell out in stores, create media speculation and that's when you get it on ebay and cash in.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    If I do what is the best way of posting as securely as possible to US.
  • Prices on ebay are not that great (pre-sale), although depending on sales. It is one of those questions, will the suppliers pump out even more and it is early for xmas. Personally I would wait and buy the one legged scottish haggi, which will be doing the rounds shortly.

  • All the Hype is from America Only
    The Financial Markets over there reckon that Fisher Price (Mattell) are trying to bolster their profit margin by selling it as their anniversary product.
    Best to wait until it is over here and see what the hype is.
    Just remember Americans always try and Hype something up before Christmas.
    Also think, companies are now trying to get their product to the top of the "Most Wanted" Christmas Chart due to the fact that the PSP 3 has been delayed until AFTER Christmas. if the PSP 3 was coming out BEFORE Christmas we wouldn't be talking about Elmo or any other product.
