Interesting!

Tickle me Elmo was not a big seller last year actually. A lot of people started buying them up early thinking they would be making a bit profit on Ebay - thanks to someone here suggesting that they might be big. But if I remember rightly, most were lucky to actually get back what they paid in the end.

I saw an ad on our works 'classifieds' the other day from someone who I remember was trying to sell a Tickle me Elmo last Xmas for £50 as "this years must have toy". September and he was still trying to flog it...what a shame

definately agree that it will be in the night garden stuff for toddlers, i have got my little girl the talking upsy daisy and talking iggle piggle, i bought them about a month ago but had to search high and low, a lot of places were sold out even then and they were selling on ebay for more than in the shops

I agree with night garden (more because the parents like them though!), but I've not had a problem finding them. The hasbro toyshop (UK distributor I think) has all the night garden stuff in stock. Not sure why people are buying off ebay at inflated prices.

Think Transformers is big for boys this year, there's already certain things that are hard to get hold of. Luckily mine isn't into stuff like that, he's a bit old fashioned and just builds up his wooden train set more and more!

Maybe those mini helicopters,my DH managed to get one brand new from a carboot for £2 it was a bargain and all the kids love it the same ones in Toys r Us are about £19.99 i would recommend them. Like these although this is a pink one http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Product.aspx/TruHome/TruGadgets/TruGadgetsPinkeverything/437425?ref=Search
