Elmo Live, touted as the hottest toy for Christmas 2008 isn't featured in any of the Black Friday Ads I have seen so far. What is up with that? Priced at $60 the Elmo Live is not a bargain toy and putting it on sale on Black Friday for say, $39.99 would sure drive hords of customers to that store.

The T.M.X. Elmo in the Holiday Season 2006 was a really hard to find toy. Elmo Live has started shipping pretty early in mid-October. It has been selling really well and stores were briefly sold out. For weeks now Elmo Live has been available almost everywhere for $59.88: Amazon.com and Walmart.
eBay scalpers are sure pretty disappointed at the stock situation of Elmo Live. Still, they charge way over retail on eBay, just for fun I guess.

Possibly retailers will come around on Cyber Monday to offer Elmo Live at a discount. I will keep my eyes open. If you see Elmo Live on Sale email me. More Black Friday News.
