I don't understand what the big deal about this Elmo is. I think it's rather ridiculous to jump into a frantic about a DOLL. It'll be there next year and what not. But half the articles i've read, and what i've seen on the news, you elmo fanatics really need to calm down about these ignorant things. I mean, paying so much as 500 dollars for a doll that will end up being destroyed by the child(ren)? Seriously everyone, THINK about it. You are paying all that money, for a toy for your child(ren), and give it at the most of 6 months, that thing will be old news, and destroyed.

The Christmas chaos has begun. I heard a new story about fights erupting over the Elmo TMX. I found a Elmo Finder website at Tickle Me Elmo Finder that's one site sure to be useless in a year.

Has anyone able to get an Elmo TMX yet? Some of you may have kids who are begging for it. I found mine at a department store but they are all sold out now. Here's a site that still has some Tickle Me Elmo's left. Amazing, but get them before they're gone. www.holidazeornaments.com link to elmo http://www.HolidazeOrnaments.com/displayProductDocument.hg?productId=1

The prices on ebay are falling to between $50 - $90 and will only continue to fall as the second wave of TMX hits the stores (my local wal-mart got 90 last night, and still have over half left this morning). Anyone buying them to sell on ebay at this late stage will just end up selling them at a loss.

Disney may own ABC, but it does not own Elmo. Elmo (and other Sesame Street Muppet characters) are owned by Sesame Workshop.

My one year old got excited just from watching the tv clips (we tivo'd the one from The View). So, will I buy one? Um, no. We have already taken the batteries out of 'Check-up Elmo'. I couldn't stand to listen to it all day.

Elmo seems to be his "special" friend.

No, ABC would never shill for Di$ney, just like NBC would never shill for Universal.

Do you think GMA would have run this if Elmo wasn't also owned by Disney?

it was pretty funny, watching that elmo go on and on. i'm pretty sure it would get annoying after the 2nd time or so.
