I remember the time I got the original Tickle Me Elmo. And Tickle Me Ernie. Ten years ago. They were very hot comodity and nowhere to be found. A friend of mine from Montreal had to courier them to Vancouver for me.

Fisher Price just released the 10th Anniversary Tickle Me Extreme (T.M.X.) on September 19th and I was so excited. Have you seen it? Elmo falls on the floor and gets up on his own. He has more tickle spots, and is bigger than the original. He rolls around on the floor, slaps the ground with his hand and just hysterically giggles. Ten years has been very good to the mechanical development of this toy.

Lem and I were the first ones standing at Toys R Us waiting to get my own Sesame Street doll. Just to learn that the store had been taking deposit for the last two months and all the inventory was gone! We had a tip on when the inventory supply truck comes at Toys R Us. And we've called. We've been there twice in two weeks, and still no Elmo for me. Lem and I are planning on camping out in the bushes for when the next truck comes in.

GIVE ME AN ELMO OR ELSE.....

Elmo retails at $42 cdn and already Ebay bids are reaching a hundred for one doll. Can you believe it?
