Zhu zhu pets - how do I get some goods?!

[bhoffman]

O.K. friends - can you help a mom out? How do I get some of these hamsters and accessories without selling the child I need them for?! HELP!! Preferably a method that does not require me sitting out in the cold MI winter every day!

I saw at least 2 each of each colors at Target this morning when I was there right when they opened.

I'm in MI as well. I've taken to calling 2 Targets and 3 Walmarts every morning at 8am (when Target opens). I'm hoping to get lucky one of these days

I've been trying as well for 2ish weeks, basically running trackers on my pc all day and then calling TRU, Wally, and Target each morning. This morning I FINALLY got lucky and managed to score some on etoys when one of the trackers alarmed and then wouldn't you know when I called Target they had gotten some in as well. So I drove down to Target after dropping the kids off at school (about 35 minutes after I called) and the shelves were empty but I asked and they just hadn't restocked from when they sold though at opening.

So my advice, be pursistant, and call each morning (and be nice to the poor souls who have to answer this question 100x over!), and run the trackers hoping to catch something online (you need to be super fast once they come in stock though!).

Link to trackers:
option 1 pets
option 1 accessories
option 2 pets
option 2 accessories

IF you plan on getting them online have accounts set up already with the stores and try to set it so you are permanently logged in. I had some in my cart yesterday at TRU and did PayPal so I didn't have to waste the time entering in my cc# and by the time I got back to TRU and even had an order number my cart was empty.

Good luck!

I know other mom's
are having trouble finding them, so I wanted to let everybody
know how I got one. First of all, I wanted to buy from Amazon.com
because they have free shipping on like, everything, but the only
ones they had were being sold (at WAY marked up prices) by third
parties. HOWEVER, one of my girlfriends told me about GOGRABBER.COM,
which is a free website that will "watch" items for you on Amazon and
let you know when amazon has them in stock at regular retail price.
It was so awesome! I was just doing the dishes, I heard the gograbber
alarm go off on my PC, hopped on and bought the zhu zhu pet! It worked
so well I now have gograbber watching a whole bunch of stuff for me!
Lol!
Good luck everybody!
