Parents looking to get their hands on the hottest Christmas toys for 2016 are going to run into trouble.
There are two major products that parents are looking for in 2016 and both of the hottest Christmas toys already sold out. The first is Hatchimals, which is an interactive pet that hatches from an egg. The second is the Nintendo NES Classic, which features many video games from the original Nintendo.
The interest in Hatchimals has even been acknowledged on the website for the toy. Users are greeted with a message that tells them the excitement over the interactive toys are higher than was expected. This has resulted in many retail locations completely selling out of them.
This doesn’t mean that parents still can’t find the toys, but they’ll likely have to face scalper prices online. Another shipment of one of the hottest Christmas toys is also going to be released this month. Unfortunately, the message on the Hatchimals website says that they will likely sell out fast as well.
Nintendo Co., Ltd (ADR) (OTCMKTS:NTDOY) posted a series of messages on Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) about the availability of the Nintendo NES Classic Edition. The video game company said that it will continue to release a steady supply of the retro console throughout the holiday shopping season.
The website for Hatchimals and the Nintendo NES Classic Edition both include a list of retailers that carrying their products. Those looking to buy the hottest Christmas toys in 2016 may want to check those websites for a list of places that they can keep an eye on during their search.
