Wow — so the insanity for the Furby has already started — Amazon pre-orders have already sold out and as you can see here — the prices are already jacked way up by third party sellers!!
The good news is that you can still pre-order one at Target.com or Walmart.com — SOME of the varieties are sold out there too. This is all BEFORE they are released!!
Every year there seems to be an “It” toy that every kids wants. Unfortunately, when we wait until November everyone seems to be sold out and this year seems to be no exception.
Some of you may remember the “Furby Craze” of 2000. I didn’t have kids then but a friend of mine was calling every store in Los Angeles on an endless hunt for a Furby. It was NUTS.
This year Hasbro has revamped the Furby and speculation is that this will be one of the “It” toys for Christmas. Because I love all of you so much I figure I will give you a heads up in advance — pre-order these when you can!! I know this isn’t always feasible financially. It isn’t Christmas bonus time. But, if you know that you want the “it” toy for the kids this Christmas and can, be ahead of the game! 🙂
They have some pretty awesome colors too! Head over to Walmart.com check it out! Or Target.com for even more selection!
A bit about the revamp:
Now’s the time to brush up on your FURBISH, because FURBY from Hasbro is back and better than ever before. Everyone’s favorite fuzzy friend returns in ten brilliant new colors and you can see them first right here at Walmart, your FURBY headquarters.
With a mind of its own, your new Hasbro FURBY will develop its personality based on how you play with it. It will dance to your favorite songs. Put it in a room with a few of its friends and they’ll interact with each other in all sorts of hilarious ways while speaking either English or the special FURBY language, FURBISH.
Rusty on your FURBISH? Not to worry, because each FURBY comes with some basic FURBISH words, and you can also translate FURBISH using the downloadable FURBY App, available Fall 2012. Plus, the more you play with your FURBY, the more English it will speak. You can also use the FURBY App to feed your new FURBY.
