    Of course, this is what my daughter wants for Christmas...



    It never fails. They always want the hot toy of the year. I'm not paying $100 for some electronic rodent!

    they were tested to have a toxic chemical that was used to make them flame retardant , and then all of a sudden the independant lab company said they made a mistake with the results . sorry but i'm not buying it , alittle to suspicious if ya ask me.

    When those came out a few months back stores couldn't get them off the shelves... I wonder who decided it was the IT toy?

    Television news has been hyping them almost nightly. Looking at them and what they do, I cannot imagine the attraction, but then, I never understood Cabbage Patch or Elmo either. Wonder when an MD will be come the 'hot' Christmas item? lol RickO
