Tech Grinch’s Christmas List: No. 4 TMX Elmo
We’re down to the final four in our Tech Grinch list of the things you won’t be able to buy this Christmas:
4. TMX Elmo - the irritating orange furry thing that rolls on the floor chuckling has its maker laughing all the way to the bank for this tenth anniversary year. TMX stands for Tickle Me Ten or Tickle Me Xtreme as Fisher-Price has increased its robotic ability far beyond what this gargalesis victim could muster back in 1996. We were able to find a version today at the $40 list price that chortles in Spanish, but all English ones were either unavailable or ridiculously overpriced.
Other favourite tech toys this season have been Leapfrog’s FLY Pentop computer and an indoor helicopter we first saw demo’d at the Consumer Electronics Show back in January.
The countdown so far:
10. An Enzo Ferrari 9. Halo 3 8. The $100 Laptop 7. The iPod wannabes 6. Pleo the dinosaur
5. If I Did It
this is one of the best toys ever my kids absolutely adore it
