All this 'toy talk' makes for a funny thread, off topic or not. I looked at those Hatchimals listings and those "highest price" ones from the same seller all have IPR on them so I don't know if that would have been there all along or if the seller wised up at some point. Who can make an IP for $55,000? They'd need to have the Visa Black Card I guess. Either way, even rich people should be teaching their children about the value of money.
There are limits on buyer spending so even without IPR I was wondering if something with a pricetag like that even could be bought and not paid by a kid:

I did see a contact option on the seller's page so I hope the seller is prepared for what will follow once all the more moderately (if I can say that) priced items are sold. I agree this is just about the dumbest toy fad ever and for the money they don't even look good, they look poor quality, not like a toy that will last and give endless hours of fun. Preteen girls will have them sitting around their rooms for a few years at most, after which all these things, millions of them, will be in the landfills.
I wonder if the seller will still be charging that as it gets closer to Dec 25th. The big dilemma, reduce the price to a realistic figure and actually sell some, or keep it high and hope for that last-minute desperate soul who will make it all worthwhile and save the seller's Christmas just like ordinary seller's are hoping to save a child's. Know in a month, I guess.
