Shopping – A story about why one mom refused to buy into the TMX Elmo frenzy. "Does Mattel really think this is all about ten million little kids all wanting a Tickle Me Elmo Extreme doll? Or is it more about the collector/speculators hoping to make a fast profit off the parental urge to make our children happy (or at least quiet)?"

TMX Elmo floods market; looks like artificial shortage to me!
Shopping – Today Wal-Mart made oodles of TMX Elmo dolls available. Back in Nov, some 'grinches' wondered if Mattel was purposely creating a frenzy over the toys. But now, the gates of floodage have been opened, and it seems that claims of manufacturer shortage were made up. Is this a conspiracy to fix prices? Or is it just a smart marketing ploy by Mattel?
