If you pre-ordered Elmo Live back in August when we first told you to do so, you should be receiving it soon. At least Wal-mart had a October 14th shipping date for the first batch of Elmo Live they sold for $59.88. Now Elmo Live is Out of Stock on Wal-mart and on Amazon it has been sold out since September.
Elmo Live sealed in boxes are already populating eBay in a big way. The price is around $100.

It is difficult to tell how hard it will be to get Elmo Live closer to Christmas. On the Fisher-Price store the shipping date for Elmo Live has already moved back to December 4th.
It pays to shop for the hot holiday toys and gadgets as early as possible. You still can of course bet on Thanksgiving and Black Friday deals, but I doubt that Elmo Live will be on sale. The only hope for a bargain on Elmo Live is the Amazon Customers Vote, if it returns this year.
