Elmo Live - Anyone have one?

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?

james relly wants one buttt i think its to expencie

Yeah I agree kiwigal I'd never usually spend that much on a toy, can't justify it really.

Lucas absolutely adores Elmo though, I think about his face lighting up when he opens it at Xmas ....maybe ill sell some of his toys he no longer plays with ...to help pay myself back hmm

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.)

If he loves it in the shop, and its down to $50 then I would get it. Isla still LOVES her talking/moving iggle piggle we got her for her 1st birthday (she was 2 last month). She plays with it every day, he even had hair ties in his 4 strands of hair the other day, lol. We paid $60 and he doesnt do anything compared to what that Elmo does. Would not pay $150 for the Elmo,..but would consider it if it was iggle piggle or dora or soemthing isla loves.

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. It's like a robot covered in fur

I don't know what kind of kid Lucas is but no talking toy would keep either of mine entertained for long I would spend that money on a ride on, books or blocks they are the only things in our house that have been worth buying.

We got the TMX elmo for caide when he was two and it scared the crap out of him the way it threw itself on the floor and its scary laugh haha... It ended up being packed away. Although this year he is interested in the new elmo.. But i dont think i'll bother buying it, Those sorts of toys last 5mins with my boy.

I'd leave it for him to just play with in the stores. Thats a lot of money to spend on one toy for a little man, especially when you have other goals at the moment

What about just normal Elmo?

Haha thank you ladies for helping me save my dosh!
