The Elmo Live Doll For Christmas 2008

If you're looking for the perfect Christmas gift for a little one, you can't go wrong with Elmo Live. This doll is the most lifelike Elmo doll to have ever been developed. Not only does he talk, sing, and tell jokes, he also moves in a lifelike way you just won't believe until you see it.

The new Elmo Live doll has a mouth that moves in sync with his speech. He looks like a real muppet when you look and listen to the way he talks. He also has a realistic head motion that bobbles when he talks. Instead of looking like a preprogrammed robot, Elmo Live looks like he's just having a conversation with you.

In addition to his mouth movements, the Elmo Live doll can also move his arms in a realistic way. He dances and he waves his arms in sync with his singing and talking. Little ones will think that Elmo has jumped out of the TV and right into their living room.

If you're looking for laughter, Elmo will help you find it fast. He tells all kinds of jokes and even plays games that will keep small children - and even adults - entertained for hours on end. And he also sings plenty of songs that your children will learn by heart. You'll hear them singing them over and over with delight.

A special feature of Elmo Live is his ability to sit, stand, and even to cross his legs. He can go from one position to another with ease. And if he falls over, he even knows how to ask for help getting back up on his feet. In the same way, he also responds specifically if you squeeze his nose.

Elmo also teaches manners. When your child does something nice for him, he'll say thank you. And he always asks with his own manners by saying, "Please." This is a great way to teach kids by example to use their manners when they ask for things or when someone helps them.

Elmo is light enough that your child can carry him around and he's easy to activate. All it takes is the touch of his foot, back, nose, or tummy to wake him up. He'll then be ready to play for as long as you'd like - or until his batteries wind down. He requires six AA batteries to keep the entertainment going.

When it's time to treat that special boy or girl on your list to a magical toy, don't forget about Elmo Live - you can find the best deal at http://www.elmolivesesame.info - he really does seem to come to life with just a touch!

Trading Pro System Review

In case you aren't sure, Trading Pro System is a complete video training course that not only teaches you how to trade, but how to trade with confidence. If you're anything like I was, you're constantly second-guessing your decisions until they either pay off or end in a loss - trust me, I know it's nerve-wracking and frustrating. The video collection is equal to over 24 hours runtime so it's a whole lot o' content... the videos cover everything required plus a bunch o' strategies and tactics to bring in profit.

The authors... err, creators? I don't know what to call them... ugh, well the dudes that created Trading Pro System are David Vallieres (I think I spelled that right) and Eric Holmlund. Again, if you and I are even remotely similar you do some research before buying!

Well before I purchased Trader Pro System (to be called TPS from now on, because I don't feel like typing the name) I did exactly that - I found out that the two are entrepreneurs/businessmen. Now aware of their occupation, it only makes sense that the two would get hooked on the stock market and later create a product. This is actually good news for us; it's no secret entrepreneurs have to work their tails off to create a quality product to even be in the same league as the bigger companies.

Sifting through the videos you'll quickly realize that they're very easy to understand... the lingo isn't as tricky as I thought it would be and the audio/video quality is great. I'm a visual learner so the videos were perfect for me - I've tried reading books but rarely get past the first chapter, apparently that's common?

Of all of the video content, "The Art of Adjustments - The Secret Key" was hands down the best installment (for me personally). As I mentioned earlier I was always second guessing my decisions and all paranoid - to the point where my panic-mode would cost me money in the long run (as I've now learned!). This installment alone gave me some confidence in my decisions... it's a great feeling!

Gotta' mention this - you have the option of streaming the videos or downloading them to your hard drive. I burned a copy of them (backups are good - hey, I told you I have paranoid moments) and keep another copy on my trusty laptop - gives me something to do on my lunch break *cough* and while "working" *cough*.

They've backed the offer by a 60 day money back guarantee so there's no risk trying it - in fact I encourage you to do so! My mentality when purchasing it was as follows: I'll purchase it, go through the videos, apply the techniques/strategies/tactics and if I don't make AT LEAST the course fee back within 59 days I'll get a refund. Not bad right? Win/win situations are always the best.

Can any Toys Save the Toy Market This Year?

The toy world has seen a steady increase in sales in recent months due to the strong sales of Webkinz, Webkinz trading cards and the Nintendo Wii. However much of the rest of the toy world is down as platforms like the Playstation 3 and Playstation 3 games have well under sold their expectations. This fall some new toys are coming into the market which include new Webkinz, TMX Ernie and TMX Cookie Monster and Singing Pizza Elmo. The question now is with the rising gas prices looking to put a clamp on holiday sales will it make sales of these specialized toys decline this year lower than they have been?

The high gas prices have not seemed to affect the sales of Webkinz and Webkinz trading cards as Webkinz have received well over 750,000 searches per month online. Many retailers have sold out and have been sold for quite some time of the Webkinz plush and the Webkinz trading cards look to be extinct soon enough. As Christmas approaches hype could only build for the new TMX Friends which are the "Tickle Me Extreme Friends" and the follow up to the Tickle Me Extreme Elmo or (TMX ELMO) as its better known. The new TMX Friends are TMX Ernie and TMX Cookie Monster. They have the same features of the TMX Elmo such as extreme laughter when you tickle them and many of the same motions. TMX Friends stand about 3 inches shorter than the TMX Elmo however.

With the release of the TMX Friends in October we'll also see the Singing Pizza Elmo which is sure to be a hit with any Elmo collectors or children who love Elmo. But the question remains for the economy, will it overcome the short falls and allow consumers to buy their toys for their kids this fall and winter quarter? I have to believe that parents and kids will find a way to buy whatever toys they are looking for this winter at whatever expense. Hopefully the economy and gas prices can rebound by the forth quarter of the year but its hard to say. It seems that every expert opinion on the economy has seemed a bit off in recent times so I never base anything I believe on what anyone else says. Walmart sales have recently been down 3% under last year and that could be another factor going into this years toy season as Walmart tends to be a front runner in sales in just about every market category.

No matter what happens with the economy and gas prices this year TMX Friends, Singing Pizza Elmo and The New Webkinz and Lil' Kinz plush toys will be sure to be this seasons front runners and captivate numerous kids and parents around the globe. Against any prediction it could be another season of high sales for vendors on Ebay making premium prices on these toys on a sold out market. This year Webkinz Plush and Trading cards have commanded such premiums already. Webkinz Trading Cards have been selling as high as $260 a box and some of the retired Webkinz Plush have harnessed a $1000+ price tag. The main thing to note on this achievement is that many people are paying the prices. No price is too much if people are willing to pay it and someone is always willing to pay whatever price to get the toys they are looking for. TMX Friends, Ernie, Cookie Monster and sining Pizza Elmo may bring down some of the high Webkinz Prices this fall and at the same time we'll see many gaming console system at great rates especially as new titles are released for each system by fall. If you are in the market for any of the hot toys this year I suggest getting them as early as possible and as soon as they hit the market. If you can grab a few extra you may be one of the next hot merchants on Ebay.


A Guide To Finding Elmo TMX

Help With Finding The Elusive Elmo TMX

Elmo TMX is the hot toy for 2006. They are difficult if not impossible to find in many locations. Many stores report that they are constantly out of stock and do not know when more will arrive. Other problems with finding Tickle Me Elmo have been reported. Employees of large toy sellers have been hoarding them. They know that they are valuable and have been caught holding them back for themselves or family and friends. We have put together a comparison shopping guide that will help you find TMX at the best price!

Use Comparison Shopping Sites
There are several websites that allow you to compare prices and check availability for our favorite furry red three year old.

Get There Early
Most retailers stock their shelves overnight. Try arriving at stores that are open 24 hours a day late at night. Others have reported success in getting a TMX by shopping for one at 2 or 3 in the morning. It sounds extreme, but if you really want one, this is worth a try.
Give a local shop a chance
A friend of mine got a Tickle Me Elmo through a local hobby shop. The owner of the business had connections in the toy industry and was able to find one for her. This store owner was more than happy to help, and has gained a new loyal customer.

Black Friday
It has been rumored that Wal-Mart has a supply of TMX Elmo that they will be selling on the day after Thanksgiving. If you feel like getting up at 4 in the morning and fighting for him, this may be a good chance to get one at retail.
