Either you’re joking, or you absolutely didn’t live through the late 90’s to see the sheer insanity of what the Furby craze was really like. Furbies would be resold for hundreds of dollars, absolutely no exaggeration. It was mind boggling.
- tinco 4y agoMaybe I was too young, I definitely remember the hype, but people around me were just buying the Furby for store prices, I think it was 120 Dutch guilders. I remember the commercials on TV and wanting one, but couldn't justify it to my mom :P Maybe by the time they started selling in The Netherlands the hype had already died down enough that they had enough in stock?
- aidenn0 4y agoI was in HS in the late 90s and somehow missed that. I remember Beanie Babies selling for hundreds though in the mid 90s.
- worthless-trash 4y agoI missed both beanie babies and furbies in Australia. I think I have seen one though.
- JohnBooty 4y agoI have no recollection of a "craze" at all. I remember Furbys being a punchline on late night TV and such. But I didn't know there was a craze and a shortage. Of course, those were my college years, and didn't have many young kids in my life... so I guess I didn't know what was popular with them!
