Zhu Zhu Pets. Will You Be In The Position To Buy One As Christmas Approaches

Monday, March 8th, 2010

As soon as Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters were stocked and placed onto the shelves they vanished before the morning stopped. Such is the life of this toy of the year. Zhu Zhu mania is coming near to the ludicrous — making a secondary market where the tremendously inexpensive toys ( $8 at Walmart ) become, well, pricey toys ( $35.88 for one and $98 for a three-pack on Amazon.com ).

When the loads came in this past weekend at some Walmart stores and were spotted on shelving, customers were defied the right to get them at the register. The sales were blocked. This is a statement by Walmart posted under the news page on the Zhu Zhu Pets net site because so many would be purchasers were turned away empty handed :

“Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters are among the most sought after toys this holiday season and are quickly selling upon arrival in stores. Walmart stores have been receiving new shipments this week in preparation for their Sunday ad circular. Zhu Zhu Pets™ hamsters are currently ‘blocked for sale’ at stores to ensure the product is available on Sunday when advertised. Unfortunately, a few were mistakenly placed on the sales floor too early which caused the confusion at the registers. We apologize for the situation and any confusion. Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters will be available for sale at Walmart stores again on 11/8/2009.”

Toys R Us turned up with a plan at many stores limiting purchases to one per family. Store bosses claimed they anticipated more deliveries of the Zhu Zhu pets and their accessories but could not commend delivery times.

Some retail researchers have asserted stores under-ordered. The effects of not having the toys folks most need when they desire them. Over the following month, as Black Fri comes and christmas draws closer, it will become clearer whether or not that was the issue or if patrons were being drawn in by a clever ploy to make desired items appear in short supply. What’s going to be on the list of most-desired toys isn’t that major a puzzle to the retailing giants, who use their important tools and resources to work it out.

“Select Toys R Us stores in Phoenix tested Zhu Zhu Pets earlier in the year,” Toys R Us spokesman Bob Friedland has been quoted as saying. “The fun and interactive nature of the Zhu Zhu Pets hamster excited children. In the test, we saw Zhu Zhu Pets selling well and knew it could be a hot toy.” Such testing is done constantly round the country, he claimed. Friedland related the issue of supply should be aimed at makers. Mike Nakamura, boss man man of the Chicago-based toy company Senario, told WalletPop the Zhu Zhu phenomenon appears legitimized. “It follows the same format as the Beanie Babies or Webkinz. It’s collectible,” he told. “Those don’t come along all of the time.” Dan Fishback, chairman of DemandTec — an establishment that turns buyer behavior into science, recounted even the idea a toy can be tricky to get can excite demand. “It needs to be understood that it’s tough to get,” he announced in an interview.

“It doesn’t have to be hard to get.” Thinking back at some past hits,eg tease Me Elmo, Fishback stated that it is less about the toy and more about how it is promoted.
