lovetobehome Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I just saw these; I understand they are "IT" this Christmas. I am usually not into this sort of thing, but my kids have wanted a hamster forever, and with cats, I can't do it...I know it would somehow get eaten. Does anyone know where to find them at reasonable prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajama Mama Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I recommend to wait until after the holidays. If you really want to buy one, you'll probably have to pay extra to a reseller. They are about $8 and about $35 sold by a reseller. You could check the store that you frequent. Our Walmart keeps them behind the counter and you need to ask for one(and know the secret handshake:D) You are only allowed to buy one or two per person, I think. But the store rarely has them in stock. Luckily, dd doesn't want one that badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I've been watching these since about August and they've been flying off the shelves since them. I bought some for my girls way back then. I only got them 2 hamsters each, along with 2 beds and carriers. I'm not doing the whole she-bang because I dont think they would get played with in their cages and stuff. I can totally see my girls just toting them around though. Check Wal Mart early each morning...they usually get their shipments at night and stock them overnight. At least I know ours does it that way.

Samiam Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Probably no where. These are THE hot toy this year. They are out of stock everywhere. I am in FL, and have asked friends/family in SC, Missouri, AZ, Nebraska and New York to look. So far nothing. I am sure after the new year, they will be all over the place.

lovetobehome Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks, friends! I will try walmart in the AM tomorrow---weekend before Black friday, so I am guessing I might get fortunate if I go REALLY early. I just saw them today for the first time. Cute! But definitely not worth going crazy over! I really appreciate the tips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfgivas Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 amazon has several listed as being "in stock". they're, hmmmm, a little pricey.... good luck! ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just got an email from Toys R Us about them being in stock and the stores open at 6am tomorrow for Rewards Members...or something like that. Good luck. I don't know what they are, but hear they are "the" toy to have. That tells me that they are insanely overpriced and will likely be half as much NEXT year when another toy becomes "the" thing to have. Ask me how I know...:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetobehome Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Brilliant, Sue!! THANK YOU! I went over at the crack of dawn (tried walmart at 5:15 am, no luck), and got some at Toys R Us! THANKS SO MUCH! Btw, TRU has 60% of the company or something, so they are the most likely to have them....they only let you get one, so take a friend or spouse if you want more than one. YAY!

cdrumm4448 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 There's a website that tells you where they are in stock or out of stock. I got mine at E-Toys last month. The hamsters were $20 each. I also got two other things, a car and maybe the garage.I can't remember. I haven't started wrapping yet so they're tucked away.
