Hey Robert, you’re right about people having trouble finding Zhu Zhu Pets especially for the low retail price.

I found a very helpful site called Hot A-Z Alert which notifies you when the hottest holiday items and deals are back in stock at the lowest price.

It checks Amazons inventory multiple times every minute and sounds an alarm when the item is available. It’s http://www.hotazalert.com

Don’t people realize that these Christmas toy “trends” are manufactured by the toy industry every year to excite their kids and drive their parents crazy running after them drumming up even more publicity? It happens every year and every year these idiotic parents fall for it.

Kids (and parents) are so gullible. Kids only like them because the media tells them they must have them and parents want them because they don’t want to feel like failures when their kid is the only one on the block who doesn’t have this worthless piece of trash. These fake pets will most likely be in the garbage by New Year’s Day.

At least they are cheap and “They don’t poop. They don’t die.”

Yipe: the spambots are in full force on this once.

(apologies to xyon and susan78 if you are just enthusiastic, URL-dropping shoppers and not spambots)

I go to REDACTED to watch Amazon for hot items like this. It’s free and alerts you the instant an item is back in stock at the regular retail price. It’s a lot better than standing in line at some store at midnight.

Hope this helps!
