Damn the LazyTown.

So Fisher-Price has these cool LazyTown figures, exclusively at KMart. You know, since you need a reason nowadays to go to KMart. Well, the figures are exclusive, so they’re hard to find, and they never showed up in the KMart in Bridgehampton. Unhappy coincidence, I thought, and we treked to a few other KMarts on the Island (there aren’t that many) to see if we can find them. To our dismay, we found the dressup outfits and the lameass sampler DVD (we watch the show - we don’t need your stinkin’ DVD), but no figures.
Finally, I hit eBay after Tara talks to a few of her friends outside of this area to see if they saw any (no luck there either) and sure enough, these things (which Nick.com is retailing for $12.99) are going for $35+. It doesn’t necessarily mean this is what they’re going for (the initial wave of eBay post Thanksgiving is the strongest) or that there won’t be more in the future (Nick doesn’t seem to be great with their marketing or know their audience), but right now, these things are gold.
It’s just a little disappointing, since I know Cole would really love these things (especially a Sportacus one), and at this rate, Santa ain’t bringing him one. I guess I’m getting prepared for the Christmases of the future with kids.
