I work at Target answering the phones sometimes. The top 3 I get calls for are Zhu Zhu Pets, a game named Mindflex, and Crayola Crayon Maker.

Zhu Zhu pets are a product of media hype. I have not seen 1 kid ask for those things until their parents hear that they are the "must have" and flip
their shit over them. RIDICULOUS!

My niece wants Zhu Zhu pets (and believe me it's not because her mother or I mentioned it), she saw a commercial on TV and told her mom about it who had to
look them up because we didn't know what they were. Thankfully we got most of the pieces she wants/needs earlier in the fall before they were popular (but
we are still looking for a couple items).
For adults, I think the big thing this year is still big TVs because that's what I heard almost every adult who was shopping for themselves on BF say they were getting. |

CVS is now carrying them, so if you're looking I'd try there! More low key than Toys R Us or Walmart

I found CVS to have very limited stock of zhu zhus and already they are saying they are sold-out.

Consumer Group Says Popular Zhu Zhu Pets Are Unsafe
Sunday , December 06, 2009 A consumer group contends one of the holiday season's must-have toys is unsafe. But the maker of the robotic Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters defended its product Saturday against a study by San Francisco-based GoodGuide that said higher-than-allowed levels of the chemical antimony were found in the toy. Good Guide named Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters one of the top-selling toys with low ratings after finding antimony, which can cause health problems, on the hair and nose of one of the toy hamsters, called Mr. Squiggles. The group assigned the toy, aimed at 3- to 10-year-olds, a rating of 5.2 on a 10-point scale. But the toy's maker, St. Louis-based Cepia LLC, insisted in a statement that its product is safe and has passed rigorous testing. The company said it was contacting GoodGuide to share its testing data and determine how the report was founded. "I have been in the toy industry for more than 35 years, and being a father of children myself, I would never allow any substandard or unsafe product to hit the shelves," Russ Hornsby, Cepia's CEO, said in the statement. Zhu Zhu Pets, which retail for about $10, have become this season's toy craze, following in the footsteps of Tickle Me Elmo and Cabbage Patch Kids. The items fetch $40 or more on resale Web sites like eBay and Craigslist. That's what brought it to GoodGuide's attention. GoodGuide CEO Dara O'Rourke told The Associated Press on Saturday that his group bought three of each of the year's 30 hottest toys and tested them multiple times. Antimony was measured at 93 parts per million in the hamster's fur and at 106 parts per million in its nose. Both readings exceed the allowable level of 60 parts per million, said O'Rourke, an associate professor of environmental science at the University of California, Berkeley. O'Rourke said GoodGuide's test results, released Friday, also indicated the possibility that some toys contained phthalates, chemicals that were subject to tougher standards in the Consumer Protection Safety Improvement Act passed last year. |
