Yes but when you have 7 different xmas layby's running at once, fun begins to have it's price LOL. But knowing me, I'll get sucked into the "this would be good for xmas aswell" thing lol. And if you look at the prices that they're going for on eBay then I guess $70 doesn't look too bad :

They are really funny to watch, you cant help but smile! We have one at the front door at Kmart and it is a door blocker...everyone stops to have a laugh!

Dont know if it justifys the $65 (Kmart special price until next wed-think at Big W that price range too) or the $99 rrp, but thats up to the individual.

Dont worry bout buying it for yourself, so many people have, and 4 of the 5 rainchecks i have done are for men in their 30s...

At Myers it was advertised for $99.00, but they had a deal if you bought one for $79.00 you got a free Cookie monster or Elmo soft toy thats the same size as the Elmo TMX. My daugter probably likes the free soft toy just as much as the Elmo TMX
