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
