Get your Tickle me Elmo...NOW!!!

You remember that craze a few years back (or shall I say Frenzy). Normal, everyday soccermoms and grandmas gouging each others eyes out for a Tickle me Elmo doll.

Well Elmo's back...and better than ever with the "T.M.X." version (Tickle me, the "x" is for extreme).

How important is this? Well, it made the TOP of AP Business news this morning:
"The debut of T.M.X. Elmo was timed to the 10th anniversary of Tickle Me Elmo, the must-have toy of Christmases past that giggled when its stomach was pressed. In the new version, Elmo's squeaky laugh and body movements grow more pronounced with three successive tickles.

Mattel president Neil Friedman had been president of Tyco Toys, now a unit of Mattel, when it launched the original Tickle Me Elmo, which had parents of preschoolers elbowing each other in the aisles.

"With today's technology, this one is even more incredible," Friedman said. "You really have to see it to believe it."

Executives at KB Toys Inc. and Toys R Us Inc. said pre-orders for the toy, which retails for $39.99, have exceeded expectations."

I suggest getting yours now before you will be forced to take out a second mortgage to pay for Tickle me Elmo toy on Ebay during the holidays.

Money's tight...save your dough...say YES I SAVED !!!
