Thread: Zhu Zhu Hampsters...anyone else searching?

Started 2 months ago by 4crazyboyz
I am just wondering if anyone else is searching for this impossible to find toy. I really don't want to pay double or triple the price to get a stinkin' fake hampster. Everytime I happen to make it to the stores on shipment day, they keep telling me..."Oh, we got 20 hampsters in today, but some lady bought them all"....ok who is this "lady"...it's one of you guys right?? Admit it! Just ...

I'm just crossing my fingers that my kids don't find out about these! Good luck!

I'm not "the lady." Just keep looking at different stores. I lucked into some a couple weeks ago at the Orem WalMart. I never go in that store, but was passing by and thought I would take a look since Springville never had any. They had 15 or so. I bought 4 (1 of each kind they had) and another gentleman did the same. It would make me mad to see someone clearing the shelves of all of them; ...

I've seen these on Amazon.com with free shipping. That would save you from running all over town. I have also seen them at the Payson Walmart. which is probably too far for you to travel. Hth

My husband happened upon some at TRU yesterday and was able to pick up two. He went in to purchase something else and heard some of the ladies in line talking about them. He said that these ladies were a bit aggressive and had told other people in line that they had better not be going in to get them, because they were going to purchase them all. This made him curious, as he had not...

I just checked amazon, but the prices start at $30.

I hate it when retailers mark up prices on toys so we have to either brake the bank or disappoint our kids. (we lean toward the 2nd!) A little OT but on the other hand, I heard on the news this morning that Barnes and Noble and other book sellers are SO mad at Target, WM and Amazon for selling new release books for so cheap. Go figure...it sure makes my wallet happy! DD hasn't asked for any ...

Yeah it is really frustrating to see people buying them ALL and selling them for outrageous prices. I don't mind if they buy an extra one to sell or something, but heavens can't they leave a few behind for us dead tired moms? LOL. Seriously though, if I can't find them at the regular price of 8.00, I won't be purchasing right now. There is no way in he** I am paying 30.00 for one......

I just saw some of these on Etoys, starting at 19.99. I don't know what shipping will be, but you could check it out.

I preordered my 3 pack a while pack for $34.99. That seemed reasonable to me, and assures that my daughter will get one for Christmas. Her B-Day is next week and that is all that she wants, so I ordered another one off e-toys along with a house (or something like that) and the shipping was $6.47. In the end, I would rather pay the the extra $10.00 than spend at least that much in gas ...

I think it's at all Toys R Us's. If you want I can forward you the email I got. I would hope the line would be inside seeing as the store will be open at that time but who knows. If you decide to go, good luck!

I was at the Walmart in West Valley City (3100 S and 5600 W). No hamsters or balls but they had a "fun track" for $20. They had approximately 3 dozen of these when I was there about 11am. No actual hamsters or any other accessory. On the couch front......well I'll start a brand new thread instead of hijacking the hamster thread.

There are a couple in stock on Walmart.com, you could do free shipping to store, and then go pick them up. Hth (OH, I just looked again, and they are out of stock now. I'll keep watching for you.

I was surprized yesterday to receive the Giant Hamster City from Toys R Us online. I preordered it Nov. 12 but didn't think I would get it so I already rounded up the hamsters and acessories I need for my 3 kids. So before I return it to Toys R Us I thought I would see if anyone here on PYP wanted it at my cost which is less than what they are selling for currently. I paid 99.99 for it plus 6.XX in tax. I had a 15 off 100 code that...
