Hotest Toys of the Season

[Pairadocs]

Like other grand parents (maybe ?), I've been trying to obtain this year's hot toy, Little Live Pets Gotta Go Flamingo ! If you have not seen this, just google it, LOL, our generation will scratch our heads, but believe me, if you know young children, anything that has a theme around "natural human functions" gets their attention (The children's book, Everything Poops, is beloved by teachers and children everywhere, the kids just LOVE it). But, the point of this is I finally was able to find two of these "scare birds" without having to resort to secondary market where people have bought them all up and now hold grand parents hostage for $60, $80 and now it see some have gone to $100 ! I received my order (got them for the regular retail price $31.95 and the postage, so happy, will have two delighted little girls..... but now I have received my original order that I was notified was out of stock and would not be available. In short, I now have FOUR, not two. I can return them I am sure by paying the return postage, but decided I would keep them a few days in case others here are like I was, madly dashing around trying to find this "must have" a grand child has been asking for. If so, send me a message and you can have one of my spares ( the total price with tax and shipping was about $34.82 )

I must be a kid at heart! I think it is very funny.

I understand that the "baby's first chainsaw" item is not expected to be a big hit this year.

I understand that the "baby's first chainsaw" item is not expected to be a big hit this year.

That reminds me of a scene from The Office, when Karen was holding a baby and Creed said, here you want to play with these, and holds up a string of paper clips. Karen said, you can't give those to a baby, and creed said, that's alright, I have plenty. For those who don't know, Creed was the original guitarist of the Grass Roots from '66 to '69.

I my honest opinion, I would much rather see a youth learn how to use a chainsaw than a cell phone.

Walmart online has them reduced to $19.95. You may want to return all 4 and order them for that price.

[Ashbrook]

I am interested please give me a call. My name is Pam BROOKS. My number is 804. 937. 6407. Thank you

[shirl10]

This is very sweet of you. As a grandma who has spent many hours searching for “the” toy in years past I applaud you

[Susanzp]

How about doing something nice and DONATE it to a family that can’t afford to buy one :)

[BenBen]

I’m interested in buying one. Can you let me know where you live and I will pick it up. Thanks so much.

[pja1988]

Are any still available? I'd love one, please and thank you.

[Piomom14]

Hi! I would love the extra two, if still available. 740-441-7462. Thanks!! Robin. Talk Trees

[1oraleejn]

I saw them at walmart online for $49.99. One left at 3:45 pm.

[Dana1963]

I agree

[Kitkathf]

Still available?

I must be a kid at heart! I think it is very funny.

I did too. The videos on Utube are a joy to watch. One in particular little girl who in a VERY teacher like voice does a narrative of the entire toy, from opening her present, to remarking about what BEAUTIFUL eyes Gotta Go has and how "sweet", and then she very carefully explains how to "feed" her flamingo, how to put it on it's little toilet to catch the "seeds" (kind of like small seed beads, the kids use them over and over). I could only think how much I would have loved to have this toy when I was trying to potty train my children. I think they would NEVER have had an accident of I would have offered "Gotta Go Flamingo" as a "reward" each time they used the "big potty"....LOL !
The two extras I had bought were taken immediately after I posted this, so must be getting hard to find.

Lol, I'm sure it's coming.....that's one this gram is not going to go out of her way to find ! LOL ! I did find that "Little live Pets" that makes the flamingo, does make a LOT of really cute Live Pet toys, golf fish, etc. that really capture the imagination of young children and have some intrinsic value in teaching real life actions.

No idea ! Watched office all the time, the in the orange vest correct...

What a fantastic idea, sadly didn't think (we have this thing that every year we buy a little girl's bike and little boy's bike to take to Laurel Manor. Just always had the mind set that you can't go wrong with bikes ! But too late, I had no problem with people wanting them immediately that's for sure. I think they are "gigging" people left and right on Ebay and others, taking advantage of people. I should have kept them and taken them with the bikes, those "hot items" are probably the ones that never appear in our toy drives here... not with so many young parents frantic to find that one thing their child want so bad ! Good idea for next year, I like that, what ever my grand kids tell me is THE toy, maybe I can find extras for our toy drive :coolsmiley:

That's him with the orange scarf second from the left, he played guitar on their hits.

I have collected flamingos for years — even before I ever considered moving to Florida. Several of my friends have “threatened” to get one of these for me. I hope they don’t follow through — LOL!

[Freehiker]

PlayStation 5 is the hottest item.

[Aloha1]

For boys 6 to 12, Bakugan toys are THE item. Sort of like Japanese Transformers played as a game. For girls 3-6, the new Chelsea Doll
( Barbie's little sister) are a hot item. All this according to our 6 year old grandson and 3 year old granddaughter.:icon_wink:

[Polar Bear]

PlayStation 5 is the hottest item. :coolsmiley:
Unless you're an XBox fan, then it would be the XBox Series X. :)
