  • Furby Boom- Where To Find This Hot Toy Cheap On Black Friday

    It seems like there are a few toys every Black Friday that are considered the top gifts for Christmas. This year, one of the most popular toy items is the Furby. This isn’t the first time the Furby has been at the top of Christmas lists. When it first hit the shelves in 1998, there were 1.8 million Furbys sold. In 1999 that number rose to 14 million.

    The Furby was so popular in the late 90’s that many people got into fights at stores while trying to get one before Christmas. But after a short reign, the Furby of the 90’s seemed to fall into the shadows. This year, it’s back and it is just as popular as ever. The new Furby got a makeover and learned to do more tricks.

    The 2013 Furby Boom is available in a variety of colors and patterns and can play games, speak over 20 languages and learn new words based on how the child plays with it. The big question on every parent’s mind this shopping season is where can I get one cheap? With Black Friday only days away, several stores are offering the Furby at a special low price.

    The Furby Boom is available for $29 in Walmart’s Black Friday sale and it comes with the one hour in stock guarantee. That means as long as you are in line for the Furby Boom within an hour of the sale, you will get it for the same price and before Christmas if they run out of stock on Black Friday. Toy R Us is also offering the Furby Boom for $29 on Black Friday. You can’t beat these prices on the cute little critters.

    Furby, What Every Kid Wants for Christmas?

    Christmas is just around the corner, and every parent wants to know what gift is the best option to buy their child (children) this year. While nobody knows what is better for a child than a parent, there is one toy that has continually been given media attention; the furry, interactive Furby. Think of a cute animal that children don’t have to clean up after, and that won’t chew up your Christmas socks. The previous generation probably remembers playing with this little creature; however, a newer version is being released.

    Furby Boom is the most recent addition released by the Hasbro Company. According to the Hasbro official website, “Furby Boom has more than twice as many responses as the previous Furby, remembers the name you give it, has 5 new personalities to discover and, on top of all that, it’s hatching a new generation!”

    The toy sells for $64.99, approximately, and comes in multiple options of fur-colored combinations. This toy also comes with an app. According to the website, “With the app, you can help Furby Boom hatch its eggs, and collect more virtual eggs from friends with a Furby Boom.” In addition, the app includes numerous games for children to enjoy while helping shape the personality of the electronic pet. “The Furby Boom app includes games you can play with Furby Boom and your virtual Furblings. Try your hand at Furball, the Furbish version of soccer!”

    The Furby Boom is Hasbro’s 2013 edition of a toy that has become a modern classic.

    Hasbro is pushing the app component of the Furby Boom this holiday season. The app is available for iOS devices through iTunes and for Android devices through Google Play.

    New app features offer the ability to name your Furby and to monitor its vital stats. Among the new ways to play with Furbies touted on the Hasbro website:

    “Collect, hatch, and raise Furblings!”

    “Fill your Furblings city and get the golden egg!”

    The Furby Boom looks a little different from previous versions of the toy. It’s available in six new color schemes, its ears feature cut outs, and its feet are plastic versus cloth.

    It also has five new personalities, which change as the Furby is played with.

    The Furby Boom has made top toy lists at retailers like Amazon and Target and is being featured in Black Friday sales across the nation.

    It will be available for $29 in Walmart’s Black Friday sale and is one of only 21 “Doorbuster” deals covered by the retail giant’s 1-Hour In Stock Guarantee.

    On its social media channels, Hasbro is putting out images of the Furby with pop culture references:

    The Furby was launched in 1998, causing “near riots” during the holiday season that year. New models were released in 2005 and 2012.
