Sam adores Elmo as well. Everytime we leave a store with him in it she goes beserk!

I am thinking about getting on for her 2nd birthday - hoping to get it at the Boxing day sales though as I would rather get it for 1/2 price

Hey

Just thought id say, my manager has a elmo live at work, man he is COOL

He does heaps! He says heaps. My manager has had him for 2 weeks, and hes still saying new stuff!

He dances, sings, tells heaps of jokes, says cool stuff! Goes on about how much he loves you, and tells stories.]]> Fri, 28 Nov 2008 08:00:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22748&PID=554607&title=elmo-live-anyone-have-one#554607 <![CDATA[Elmo Live - Anyone have one? : hmmm...since you arent buying...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22748&PID=554172&title=elmo-live-anyone-have-one#554172 Author: caitlynsmygirl

James is exactly the same apart from the Hairties lol but he does take it to bed with him



If you want to see this on Xmas I say get it sorry the photo doesn't really do the monet justice. But do agree with the others that $100 is alot to spend on one toy. Maybe your parents could put in for it so then you could get him a few other things aswell.

Oh opps I read wrong! Ok $100 is a lot for a toy, but Isla's iggle piggle is really hard and heavy too, and she has LOVED it for a year!

It's down to $94, or something like that... $50 off.

Gah! I couldn't imagine spending that on a TOY...
A playhouse or swingset, maybe... But not one toy.

And as Jaz said, they are quite heavy and they aren't at all cuddly.

Caleb plays with them a bit in the shops but they aren't cuddly and they are pretty heavy so I can't see it getting much use hence I won't get him one.

I agree with Kellz, if Lucas loves them in the shops then he'll probably play with it a lot at home and at half price its probably worth it. ]]> Wed, 26 Nov 2008 17:21:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22748&PID=553360&title=elmo-live-anyone-have-one#553360 <![CDATA[Elmo Live - Anyone have one? : If he loves it in the shop, and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22748&PID=553325&title=elmo-live-anyone-have-one#553325 Author: Kellz

My little sister has one, and while they're cool, the novelty wears off pretty quickly.

I find it pretty noisy too, you can hear all the mechanics working which I find pretty creepy. Haha, but they're cute.
It sneezes, sits down and stands back up, goes into sleep mode after it's been left for x-amount of time...
But like I say, the novelty does wear off.

My sister just turned two, and she got it for her birthday... 3 weeks later it's not as interesting as it was the first few days.

Seems a lot of money to spend for a weeks worth of entertainment. (Having said that, that's just her, Lucas might not be the same.)]]> Wed, 26 Nov 2008 15:35:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22748&PID=553261&title=elmo-live-anyone-have-one#553261 <![CDATA[Elmo Live - Anyone have one? : We had the TMX elmo and that was...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22748&PID=553071&title=elmo-live-anyone-have-one#553071 Author: NeoshasMummy

We had the TMX elmo and that was $100 originally. neosha absolutely HATES it though.
DF's boss got one for his grandaughter though (the live one) when the first came out and paid the $150 for it too, he said it was worth every penny and doesn't seem like it repeats much... so it must have quite a bit of vocab? He said the jokes were really neat and the actions were cool and he has just purchased another one to said to the new grand baby born 2 weeks ago in Wellington LOL.

If Lucas loves it that much get it for him, its a good deal ATM. Also I don't think $100 is that bad for a toy.... but that's just me.]]> Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:29:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22748&PID=553071&title=elmo-live-anyone-have-one#553071 <![CDATA[Elmo Live - Anyone have one? : Yeah I agree kiwigal I&#039;d...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22748&PID=553044&title=elmo-live-anyone-have-one#553044 Author: BuzzyBee

I see theres some big deal at Warehouse this week, something like $50 off the new Elmo Live. Lucas goes nuts when he sees them in the shop and insists on playing with it, I'm contemplating buying it for his Xmas since I've had lots of luck with TM sales lately...

But are they seriously worth $100???

Does anyone here have one for their little tike? Is it's features really limited? ]]> Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:12:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22748&PID=552950&title=elmo-live-anyone-have-one#552950
