Have Wal-mart and Amazon been stocking up on TMX Elmos the past few months in hopes of being this year’s holiday retail hero?

Amazon had 2000 available for their Holiday Customer Votes promotion and now Wal-mart announces they have 16,000 available.

Whether they’ve been hoarding them, lost them in a warehouse for the last few months, or pressured Fisher-Price in to submitting to their wholesale buying power will we never know.

But if you are still searching for this red furball Wal-Mart will be selling 4000 per DAY for the rest of this week exclusively on their website. Don’t bother going to your local store, most likely they won’t have any.

Sale starts at 12PM NOON EST Tues-Friday. They are priced at $39.97 + shipping. You can only buy one per order and they are available first come, first serve. If you missed out today tune your browser to Wal-mart.com tomorrow and have your typing fingers ready.
