This year's must-have/can't find Christmas toy:

In light of current economic news, and assuming that most people won't be getting CEO-grade Christmas bonuses this year, what toy will be in such hot demand that parents will be fighting over the last one at Toys R Us?

(Poll will post momentarily. Customers with poll-participation vouchers, please form a line at the Service Desk.)

You forgot the rubber band ball.

I didn't forget, really. I just didn't want to get everyone's hopes up.

If you alternate the foil with duck tape, you can eventually get a ball that is at least usable for a modified game of stickball.
