Is the Zhu Zhu starter set with Patches still made? I have seen the zhu zhu starter kit with Patches the hamster on ebay, but I have never seen it on any regular retailers website (toys r us, walmart, target, etc.) Does anyone know where or when the starter sets were sold? Are they still available? Or has production been halted on this set?

yes they are still manufactured by Cepia, it just depends on which retailer purchased them to resell. i have only found 1 store here in Michigan that sells the starter sets, all sold out of course.....
