The hot toys of the season are expected to be much harder to find this year. Retailers, expecting lower sales, are ordering fewer toys. So if there’s a toy you really want to get this Christmas, don’t hesitate.
Parent Bille Wray Nuckols said, “I’m trying to get it because I’m sure if we’ll be able to get in time most stores won’t even tell you when they are going get so I’m not sure if they even know.”
Unlike seasons past, retailers say hot items like the classic Barbie, Nerf Shooters, and chic Barbie Fashionitatas are in short supply.
And one item that we will be hard to find this season are Zhu Zhu pets. Retailers say the minute they hit the shelves they jump right off.
“Pretty fast probably in the first half hour in the day,” Store Team Leader at Target Erik Wilson said.
