I (and many others) can tell you without a doubt that this line may be selling out (occassionally) in stores, but that's as far as it's going. Sellers like myself are having an increasingly difficult times selling these online.

So as far as being the "hot" item of the holiday, no way. If that were the case, people selling online would be making fists full of cash because people would be climbing over each other to get them - Much like they were for Tickle Me Elmo.

Skylanders on the other hand...Yeah, those are huge.

Aside from the Collector series Classic line, all the other figures are pushing towards kids, and although these are selling a lot in stores, they're not selling out as retails are smart and reordering case after case. Because the restock levels are coming in, there isn't any real demand for online purchases. Especially when it comes to the vehicles and giant playset as the shipping costs make the overall price far above what they're worth and make them less desireable. Some figures are harder to find then others, such as April and Krang, at least for myself. I got the 4 turtles, splinter, and got 2 metalheads, shredder and april today.
