2009 Toys that are Selling Out Fast
Posted by admin on November 26, 2009
While many people are still in tight budget, so retailers are stocking inventory low this year and that means some hot toys are going out faster than usual. So if there are some toys that are high on your wish lists, you need to act very fast to avoid any disappointment.
Some hot toys to get it now include:
Zhu zhu pets
Zhu Zhu Pets are the biggest toys of the year, and stores started selling out soon after their debut this summer. Kids fell in love with the motorized hamsters, and got hooked on building customized houses, slides, cars, and roads for them to scoot around on. The hamsters and their accessories were once readily available online, but now, even Toys R Us is tapped out. Not altogether extinct, Zhu Zhu Pets are still available through Amazon.com, but third-party sellers are raising the price tags as much as four times the original. If you’d rather shell out the extra cash than take a chance waiting for new shipments, start your hunting here.
Battle strikers
The popularity of this toy came as a surprise. Each tester-family that received the sci-fi theme, spinning-top game reported their kids fell instantly in love with it and played it for hours, if not days. It seems every other grade -chooler in the country reacted the same way as our tester-kids, and the Battle Strikers are already best sellers at major toy stores. We haven’t heard of them selling out yet, but we guarantee they’ll be flying, (er, spinning) off store shelves come Black Friday.
Bakugan maxus dragonoid and maxus helio
The collectible Bakugan game-pieces that were so massively popular last year are just as coveted this year, and at the top of many grandsons’ wish lists. The newest, and thus big-selling character in the series is the Maxus Dragonoid; a perfect gift for a grandson in search of a crown jewel for his Bakugan collection. There is also the rarer, and harder-to-find Maxus Helio, which is exclusive to Toys R Us, but currently out of stock on their website. But, it’s also available at Amazon.com and e-Bay.
Liv dolls
These dolls have a fashion-conscious and socially active backstory. They’re aspirational for girls who have outgrown the fantasy of becoming a fairy-princess, but still young enough to look at life as one big shopping mall filled with flashy clothes, karaoke, and frozen yogurt. Even some of us grown-ups might feel a little envious of the Liv Dolls carefree lifestyle. The line of four dolls is hugely popular with girls 4 to 8 years old, and because the dolls have a slew of wigs, clothes, and fashion accessories, they’ll likely elicit some very specific requests from your granddaughters. There are still plenty of dolls available right now, but again, all bets are off the closer we get to the holidays.
Mindflex
Tween-age grandchildren want this game mainly because it’s like nothing they’ve ever seen before. The game actually uses the player’s brainwaves to move a ball around its little obstacle course. The price is a bit higher than most this season, and as the supply of Mindflex is all but snatched up, its online price only gets steeper. If you plan on buying into the novelty, get in early now.
Rocky the Robot Truck
A real working dump truck with animatronic features, Rocky the Robot Truck exclaims,”This is an easy one!” when his bed is filled with rocks. If he’s not hauling or dumping, he’s dancing and eager for more work. When grandchildren clap for him after a particularly tough task (he can hear it through his microphone), he returns the sentiment and says, “Great job, Champ!” A positive robotic role model for kids obsessed with trucks.
