The newest change has been the price for the TRU-exclusive "Giant Hamster City." The original stated price was $84.99 for the first round of presales, which seemed reasonable for the amount of items it contains. On a side note: ToysRUs and their pricing has been a point of contention for several months now. Personally, I do not recommend paying an extra $40-50 for a pack of batteries. for a hefty premium, you can currently purchase this 4 pack and an 8-pack of Duracell AAA batteries at ToysRUs-owned (79.99) or FAO Schwartz (89.99). Retailing for 39.99 for the set, it has not been in stock yet at per the Zoolert tracking system. posted this photo of a NEW hamster 4-pack containing Nugget, Scoodles, Jilly, and Winkie. If you have a chance to swing by a Toys R Us, you may also be pleasantly surprised like Robin was!Īs promised, Zhu Zhu Pets™ are beginning to show up in more places, with some slightly different purchasing options. eBay prices are starting to decline, and my guess is that people are less likely to shell out the big $$$ for something that may not even arrive in time. I found this out last week with some packages I sent out. This close to Christmas, even Priority mail is taking longer to reach its destination. It seems the average ending price is around the $20-30 range. Robin says that TRU's retail price is $17.99 for this set, which will translate to about $14.99 in the lower-end retail stores.Ĭurrently there are 92 auctions on eBay for the boat/dock set, with 64 completed auctions already. I have no idea how many they had, or how I managed to luck out that late in the day." This was the only item sitting on the table when I got there. "I walked in the front door, at lunchtime no less, and there was a table up towards customer service. She went into a Toys R Us store in Winchester, VA and found a single Zhu Zhu Pets™ boat/dock set! Here is what she told me: Yesterday, my friend Robin really lucked out. Plus, they make perfect stocking-stuffers.just make sure your little ones open their Zhu Zhu Pets™ packages FIRST! Until the clothing line is released early next year, the beds/carriers are the only accessory items currently to keep your little hamsters warm this winter. The color combos available are orange carrier/green bed pink carrier/aqua bed and purple carrier/pink bed. Toys R Us carries exclusive sets containing a carrier, a bed, and 2 coordinating blankets. Although the ones I purchased back in September say "Zhu Zhu Pets™" on the packaging, the actual beds/carriers are embroidered with "Go Go Pets™". Walmart's typical shipments will include pink/orange/green beds and purple/aqua carrier. In Guilliam's experience, she thinks the green/pink/orange carriers and the pink/purple/aqua beds are the more difficult to find.
Each set comes with a coordinating blanket, as well. The beds and carriers all come in the following colors: pink, purple, green, aqua, and orange. My friend Guilliam has (in my opinion) become sort of an authority on the beds and carriers, so I asked for her help in this explaination. I chose their favorite colors and was content to get them one each. a green bed and purple carrier for my oldest daughter and a pink bed and teal carrier for the younger one. These were actually my first ZZP purchase. One category of Zhu Zhu Pets™ accessory items that are somewhat overlooked are the bed/blanket and carrier/blanket sets. If you are still looking and have access to a Toys R Us store, it has been said that they are receiving ZZP shipments daily! With Christmas fast approaching, I hope many of you have found the Zhu Zhu Pets™ and accessories that you have been looking so hard for. According to the troubleshooting guide on, simply reverse the direction of the tunnel and the problem will be fixed ☺
Well, sometimes the bedroom/kitchen stickers in the funhouse must be put in the wrong room.therefore, when you attach the tunnel correctly the wrong noises will be heard. The tunnels will say which direction to attach it so that the hamsters make the appropriate noises. The "bump code" in the tunnel leading to the room is what triggers the hamster to make specific noises, not the room itself. has anyone had the problem of the hamsters making kitchen noises in the bedroom and vice versa? I did as I was putting it together on Christmas eve, and I was utterly confused! Hopefully the other new accessories and hamsters/animals will also begin to make appearances soon! Keep your eyes on the toy department!! I will assume the retail price will be $10-15 per set. Each set comes with the room, tunnel, 2 door caps and 2 U-connectors. The box appears to have a check by which room it contains.
