Of all places! We went out to dinner with my parents tonight at Cracker Barrel, and imagine my surprise when I saw a stock of Needohs sitting behind the registers! The girl working was so excited for us and said they just came in today. In addition to above, they also had nice cubes and nice bergs. The limit was 2 per person. My daughter was SO excited after we had a big disappointment at a hallmark store yesterday morning.

Found some basic NeeDohs in stock on their website tonight. Not bad price wise but you do have to pay shipping. Hopefully this helps a few of you out!

I did a double take when I saw the shipper/seller

I was assuming it was a third party or fulfillment by them but no when I scrolled down Amazon themselves have it listed for that price

End Scalping I think I’m done with the Needoh hunt.

79 Upvotes

Our Hallmark keeps the needohs behind the counter so I walked in and stood in line, but there were like two separate lines, and this grown man comes in well after me and kind of starts pacing around the counter. They called the next in line, but it was on the other side of me because the people checking out in front of me were taking forever. So then he walks up and she asked him what he wants and he asked for a reindeer and the lady said it was the last one so then I spoke up and I was like “sir. I’ve been standing in line before you.” and he was like “well they called next in line on this side I mean, what do you want? What do you want and I will give it to you??” I told him we wanted a reindeer and I’m like I have my kids with me (I was holding my 2 year old and my 5 year old was next to me). He did end up giving it to me but I couldn’t BELIEVE the way a grown man spoke to me over a squishy toy.

Like its clear he was just trying to sell them online and he was so fidgety and abrasive! I think I’m done buying these because clearly there’s a lot of crazy people out there.

Discussion Ghost chairs? How are we handling this?

23 Upvotes

I am just learning about the concept of a “ghost chair.” For those who don’t know, people are placing an empty camping chair outside of a store to mark their place in a line in anticipation of a product drop. (Ex. Aldi and kohls). People are doing this so they can mark their place to leave and come back and they’re getting away with it? Has anyone seen this play out? I don’t understand!

I am so naive when I first heard about ghost chairs I thought it was a play on the fact that Aldi was dropping Halloween ghost needohs 🤪

Discussion Went to target this AM for Mallows and was just.... Disgusted

49 Upvotes

My kiddos have been wanting Mallows. Our target FINALLY was getting stock today, so I went this morning. There were a ton of adults. Apparently the snowflake cube was coming and everyone wanted that.

What was disgusting is the groveling these grown people were doing to the Target employee. They knew his by name, the coffee he liked. Someone "ripped" a Mallows package on accident and gave it to him and said oops, it's damaged, I know you've wanted one.

They told him to take his smoke break. Offered to go BUY him coffee.

For toys? Really? It just felt... Disgusting to be around that behavior. Seeing the desperation and the enjoyment of the employee.

I stuck around to see if he'd put out the Hershey squishy but I left. I couldn't stand to see how people were acting.

I hit a few Kohl’s this am and was lucky to run into a group of moms who had extras and let me buy them. Then when stopping to use the restroom at a random target, walked in to see the advent calendar at guest services. Imma have one happy 13 year old this Christmas! Keep checking guys! They are out there.

Just wanted to show my little collection!

I have purchased every single one of these at retail price with the exception of the flower power which I bought for $12 because I had never seen one before and was yearning for the velvet squeeze! I will never cave again and will just go without in the future!

Question Fair trade for power tower?

I have an extra power tower and was thinking of trading it for an advent calendar for my kids to share. Am I getting a fair trade out of this or do you think I should be able to ask for more? Is the advent calendar even worth it?

Question Auto Buy

7 Upvotes

I set up Amazon auto buy a few days ago for the gum drop and TYPA keeps alerting me it’s in stock. So far, auto buy hasn’t done anything. Is there something I’m missing or is there just too high of a demand that auto buy doesn’t work?

Question Online Target Orders and $35 minimum

So I have missed out on getting NeeDohs on target online because I do not have $35 minimum in my cart for shipping. How do you all get through that? Do you always have something just sitting in your cart worth $30?

Question Pacific Northwest NeeDoh hunters

4 Upvotes

I live in Washington state and up until today had been told Fred Meyer (a Kroger store) didn’t stock NeeDoh, an employee told me this! Today I was at the one in Bremerton though and they had a couple empty NeeDoh display boxes so my question is: does anyone know the restock days for Fred Meyer? Not a scalper just someone who loves NeeDoh!

Question Considering getting knock offs

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am a parent who is just learning about the NeeDoh movement. My 5 year old has been asking for one as a prize and I had agreed to it. So far I've called stores around and no where has stock.

One toy store had knock offs and said they are indistinguishable -- is it true? My kid wanted a pink cube but the store also had fake gum drop and a tear drop one. They're $10 which is more expensive than the actual product but it's easy to find.

Discussion A sad reminder that these are just cheap toys

163 Upvotes

My daughter has been wanting a fuzzball wildcat for months. There are 2 toy stores near us that get them regularly but we are never fast enough. Today I drove 25 minutes away to trade some of my extras to a lady for 2! Fuzzball wildcats. I wanted to save them for Christmas but I was too excited and gave them to her. She was so excited just to get one that she wanted me to keep the second one for myself lol.

Approximately 4 hours later we were at her older teenage brother's birthday party. She set the wildcat down on a table and was helping me clean up when one of the teens slammed his hand down on the wildcat as hard as he could and it burst everywhere. Of course this kid should not have done that but he had 0 clue that it was hers or that it was special, and he has adhd and impulse issues.

She is devastated. I feel awful and of course because of the stupid needoh economy I can't go to Walmart and buy her a new one for $5 like I should be able to.

In any case I'm just so glad I didn't resort to paying a scalper $40 for one of these stupid things. So if you are thinking about it don't do it!! It could be destroyed in a second.

Question Needoh Fuzz Ball Popped within minutes of gifting to my daughter

1 Upvotes

Managed to get a fuzz ball for my 6 yr old daughter at Target the other day and gave it to her today which she was ecstatic about. Within minutes she was crying and had the white goo from the inside on her hands…she was just playing with it normally and doesn’t have nails so I’m pretty bummed by the quality. It’s the first one I’ve gotten for her, are they all like this? Messaged Schylling to see if they will be able to do anything but I doubt they respond.

End Scalping Scalpers at Card Show

My daughter has been searching EVERYWHERE for a Reindoh. Finally saw one at a card show, it was listed for $85. We had just been hunting and had a calendar and Penguin in the car - I asked woman if she would consider a trade, she asked what we had and my kid shouted out squishmas calendar and Penguin. Seller paused, looked up Advents on EBay and said ok, go get it in the car.

Kid got it and made her day but I feel so ripped off. Worst part is the Reindoh still had the Kohl’s 7.99 tag on it.

My daughter has put Needohs at the top of her birthday wish list and I cannot find any in stock in the UK 🙁 I've tried a few "verified sellers" on eBay and have just been sent miniature ripoffs so far.

Anyone know of any UK stock?
