Do any of your kids watch this show?

Some how my 17 month old daughter found this show and loves it! We have to be careful not to mention the name of the show when we are home, if we do she starts jumping up and down asking for it. It kind of remind my wife of the new zoo review. I don't know, it is better than the Wiggles:)

So the wife decided to look for toys and the only company that makes them is Kid robot which is sold out. And they are not cheap 25.00 piece from them.

You can find them on E-bay, but most of the evil trolls selling them are asking for higher than that and 25.00 shipping.

It really disgusts me when people a. try to rape you with shipping for profit and b. do it with a product made specifically for little kids pretty much 5 and under.

If any one has any insight on getting these guys reasonable I would love to hear from you.

For now the wife and I are going to try to make some stuffed ones for Katie-Rose to play with.

Well, as a matter of fact, I work at the company that makes YGG. I asked around and this is what they told me:

Hey, Scott! The toys aren't all sold out:
Kidrobot - (http://www.kidrobot.com/products.cfm?OF11=PROMO15&utm_campaign=yo_gabba_gabba&utm_medium=minisite&utm_content=seeall)

We don't have any pull -- when KR stuff is gone, it's gone. It's their
whole concept of limited supply. I know that a huge array of YGG merch
will be available in Wal-Mart and all over the place starting in a few
months.

Meantime, I have some buttons I'm happy to share with you and your
friend.


The Kid Robot stuff is really in the adult collectibles line. Soon there will be lots of affordable mass market stuff....

THanks for the update! It is great to know. The strange thing about the show is the first time you see it, you are like this is lame. Then you get sucked into it with the kid and it's like this show is not bad. Again way better than wiggles.

Knowing that there is mass market stuff, is great. We will just wait and get those. In the meantime we will try to make a couple stuffed ones for the little one to hold her over.

thanks again for looking into it for me, if you happen to hear when they are supposed to hit Wal mart, if you could let me know that would be great!

I've only seen it on youtube and my friends and I like it a lot. My girlfriend just picked up two KidRobot vinyls for my collection of odds and ends (they were about $30 and I'm sure shipping would be high as the boxes are pretty big). Haven't seen a show with such crossover apeal since the Teletubbies.
