What is the “Must-Have” Toy of 2012? The Furby is Back!

You can pre-order now!! They are priced for pre-order at $54.99

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!

I think many of us experienced that last year with the Leap Pad. It became stressful for those who wanted one for their kids but didn’t want to pay double the cost (who would right?!).

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 and check it out and I will post a reminder come August 2nd!

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.
