yeah, i asked my wife to get one today while she was out... i got home and there was this elmo sitting there...(i don't really like him, but wanted to see what the buzz was about)... My twins were afraid of the thing at first... when he rolls, they still run... He does look very similar to the one 10 years ago... i was working at KB Toys then... WOW! was that an experience... Overall, i give it a 7 out of 10... i do like when he kicks his feet on the second time after he says "Again!" allright... there was my 2cents
