zhuzhu pets

anyone going crazy over these things?

as far as i can tell, they aren't from a big toy company, but are still made in china like everything else.

stories about shortages have conspiracy people going crazy.

These were mentioned on the local news as a top pick toy for this season.  I had never heard of them. Seems they are stuffed toy hamsters or mice or something with accessories like race tracks and such.  I did a bit of checking and Googling and wouldn't you know, not one to be found unless you were willing to pay around $50 or 5x their retail price.  Good luck if you are looking for one.

pretty soon these little pet things will get a mind of their own and take our country over lol
