Ok guys I need some help, I am trying to find a Zhu Zhu Hamster for my wife and I do not want to pay scalper prices. Why she wants one I have no idea other than she says they are cute. So I am going to try and find her one.

I dont mind paying a little extra for getting one but $25 to $30 for an $8 toy is nuts. :shock:

I know some of our members work at Walmart so the chances of you finding one will more than likely happen before I find one. And maybe someone will bump into one out on their errands. Either way I need one for my wife so if you can help me out that would mean the world to me. This is the only thing she has really said she wants for Christmas.

Just so I dont seem like a cad she is getting something else substantial for Christmas, but this is the one thing that she is asking for and has been hinting at for the last month. I have been looking but I havent found one yet. :-(

Thanks again

I looked here for a few friends. Kmart, and the Navy Exchange, along with the Air Force Exchange are out.
I don't have many places to shop...Kmart, being one of the main places other than the base....
I sure hope you find one, but I'm thinking these are in such high demand, it'll take alot of footwork/shopping to find one.
I wish you luck!!!

Try this link, toysrus appears to still have them.

Out of stock, just like Walmart, and Target, etc. at least online.

Walmart says the stores have them but trying to get one is like trying to find a brand new 1921 Singer 66 in a treadle. :lol:

I am trying to check online ever so often hoping that they will stock them and I can get my mits on one. Thats why I figured if I can get all of us looking for one then my chances will be very good in pulling off the impossible.

Stocking stuffers gotta love them.............

Sorry!

Try looking at your local CVS or Walgreens drug stores. I have heard that they have them. I am lucky, neither one of my DD's or DGD want one.

I saw some on Walmart.com AND Amazon.com
(A friend was looking for her girls)

All of the websites like Walmart and Target etc. are sold out. I went to the Target here by my house and they said every other day they get a shipment of 24 and they are gone in 10 minutes or less. Tomorrow morning they are getting a shipment so I will be there before they open. the guy said there were at least 30 folks waiting in the parking lot this morning to get one.
