When I think of what Hell must be like, I am convinced that it must be like Toys R Us was on that miserable Friday (if you can really even call 12 a.m. Friday). We were there at midnight, stood in the block-long line, had our (2) items within twenty minutes of the store opening, then stood in line for the next 90 minutes. I would have put my things down and walked out, but there was literally no way out. We were er...belly to butt, as they say.

My 6 year old wants one for Christmas...I told her she could buy one in February.<br /><br />No worries about missing out with the mob on Black Friday...you can buy them online for $350 (suggested retail price $10). I would like to know WHO decides WHAT is going to be the HOT item of the year? <br /><br />I have also made a personal commitment that I will NEVER shop Black Friday. I do not like crowds or pushing women that much.

When I saw your post I immediately made the connection (I'm impressed with my intelligence...and memory). I never bought into the "current" craze either when my kids were growing up. OK, that's a lie. I admit standing in line for Cabbage Patch dolls, Transformers, Star War figures, Nintendo games, etc. What can I say?

Seems like a good choice, though, ignoring it 'til it goes away. Empirically, the must-get toys are always the most detestably irritating.<br /><br />Tickle Me Elmo: a shrieking monstrosity.<br /><br />Furby: locked up in the closet by Boxing Day<br /><br />Tamagotchi: fun for three days, 'til the incessant beeping makes you yank all the batteries out<br /><br />Whenever my parents went to crazy lengths to get me must-have toys as a kid, they always ended up being the toys I played with the least. Whereas enduring classics like Legos and the Little House books continue to delight me to this very day.That Kind of Girlhttp://notthatkindofgirl.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-25294189323656973462009-12-01T12:18:52.869-05:002009-12-01T12:18:52.869-05:00I guess I may be worse as I have to flippin idea w...I guess I may be worse as I have to flippin idea what that animal car thing is?!Emzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802735566381095035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-38619722045514796812009-11-30T23:49:58.874-05:002009-11-30T23:49:58.874-05:00Zhu Zhu pets are an ideal gift -- they're as c...Zhu Zhu pets are an ideal gift -- they're as cute as hamsters, you don't have to feed them and there's no messy clean-upSamantha Lauryhttp://psoriasisguru.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-56948980327342495282009-11-30T23:42:40.219-05:002009-11-30T23:42:40.219-05:00Well I'm sad to say that I made hubby stand in...Well I'm sad to say that I made hubby stand in 2 different lines at the wee hrs but we did get 2 of those stupid hamsters for the tot.catt410https://www.blogger.com/profile/11015396649470594155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-87713055655119140982009-11-30T20:21:51.076-05:002009-11-30T20:21:51.076-05:00A friend was warned about these during a recent to...A friend was warned about these during a recent toy store visit, so she bought them for her kids for Christmas as a preventative measure.
