    It was only during mid December parents started rushing to get the popular toys. When Tickle Me Elmo was out, they had a lot of them in stores. I ended buying two, one for my nephew and one for my niece when they were around 2 years old. When mid December came around, the adults were frantic, even fighting over the dolls

    “And kids came down with Furby Fever in 1998”

    I have a Tickle-Me-Elmo, but I think my parents got it a few years after it was super popular. In Christmas of 1996, I was 5 weeks old so they didn’t get it then.

    For some reason I was scared of tickle me Elmo so my parents were like “AW HELL NAW” and sold it

    My aunt had a Teddy Ruxpin. She said she needed it shipped from London or somewhere. Also, my grandmother has the century Furby. The turn of the century Furby.
