As Black Friday rolled around and thousands of shoppers fled their local malls for good deals, one furry little toy seemed to be on everybody's shopping list. Zhu Zhu the robotic hamster was such a hot toy this year that there were extensive lines in front of Toys-R-Us, which had its own line specifically for those who wanted one. People in the line were given a red ticket which ensured them a robotic hamster. "Its the only thing my little sister wants for Christmas, and she is going to get it," said Kaitlynn Blyth, a shopper at Toys-R-Us. There were some reports of shoppers waiting from before 7:30 pm to be the first in line for the midnight opening. Other families appeared at early times to get a hold on the many toys that Black Friday had to offer.
