Get over it people!!! It’s called supply & demand. If it doesn’t sell on Amazon it will sell on Ebay for those prices. And when the supply catches up to the demand, the price will drop. Some people will pay for the convenience of getting something without having to get trampled on black friday or having to call their local retail store every single day to see if it is in stock. I bought mine for an inflated price and my kid loves it. And so be it. Be happy that you were lucky enough to get it at a regular retail price and stop bashing a good product for no reason.

I agree with the other reviewer if people would just let parents buy these for their kids instead of buying to mark up at outrageous prices and stop taking advantage of the consumer. I already had to explain that Santa is unable to get these pets for my twins for this holiday. They wanted to know why and that Santa can do everything…I had to tell them the zhu zhu pet maker machine broke and can’t be fixed so no more zhu zhu pets…they ask why the commercial is still on …so now i have heartbroken kids who won’t get the one thing they really wanted for Christmas….

I agree with the rest of the comments! I also wish the company would stop running the commercials if they cannot keep up with the demand. My daughter really wanted this toy and just had to tell her the truth, that we would not be able to buy her this toy until it was available in the stores at the price that it should be. Us parents just need to stick together and not purchase these toys at these prices! We have to stop giving in to our children and teach them that sometimes they just have to wait for things that they want. This is now a world of instant gratification and it is hurting our children. I speak from experience as I am now paying the price with my 19 year old who just wants everything handed to him without working for it (and guess who he blames for this!). I will not make this mistake with my 11 and 6 year old. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest and I hope you make the right decision and not purchase this toy from this seller.

I am disabled. Always shop for my sweet grandchildren on line @ amazon.com Today I am very disappointed and depressed. Ordered the Zhu Zhu hamster and starter house set for my grand daughters birthday. Thought it was a high price I couldn’t afford but wanted to get her something she wanted for her birhday. [...] I could have bought her several things w/this outrageous price including the set @ Walmart. We really need internet police if Amazon is going to allow this type thing to happen to rip off the elderly and disabled. I am checking on return policies. It is unfortunate that some company owners can do this and still sleep at night.
