There are so many toy shortages this year that many parents are resorting to buying from third party retailers who stocked up before the shortages began and are now selling these toys at 500% or more markups.

Stores Under Ordered by 20% This Year

2009-11-23T03:13:00.000-08:00

Economists and retail analysts predict that shortages of popular items will be common because retailers have scaled back their inventories to match weak consumer demand. Compared with the 2007 Xmas season, some large chains have 20% less inventory on hand this year. Others deny they have under ordered. Shop early to be safe and to have the full range of choice.

Black Friday Start of Xmas Shopping Season

2009-11-20T05:01:00.000-08:00

Black Friday Coming Soon
This year it's Friday the 27th the day after Thanksgiving.Best Buy, Macys, Sears and Walmart will be apparently open 24 hours to satisfy demand. It signals the start of the Xmas shopping season. The expression Black Friday originates from the feared traffic snarl-ups that day and also reputedly it was the day in the year when the large retailers moved into profit.

The majority of people still buy most of their presents in the bricks and mortar stores but many have researched their purchases online before hand.

At Amazon I always read the buyers comments, read the good comments and the "intelligent" bad ones to get a clear picture :

Zhu-Zhu Hamsters Hottest Toy in History?

2009-11-15T16:21:00.000-08:00

"It’s the hottest toy I've seen since I've been at Toys R Us, and old-timers tell me this is one of the hottest toys in history," said CEO Jerry Storch.

Toy Shortage or Toy Shortage Hoax?

2009-11-13T10:15:00.001-08:00

A number of news stories have been running suggesting that the Toy Industry runs "Toy Shortage" stories every Xmas. Well it's true but there always is at least one Toy which disappears off the shelves for the last two years it was the Nintendo Wii where entire deliveries would hot-cake in minutes.

But this year the suggestion is that stores have under-ordered the whole range, that manufacturers have shortened their production-runs due to the immense pessimism of the last 12 months.

So what if it is hoax but you are fooled by it and go out and buy your children their toys a few weeks earlier, is that a PROBLEM or a BENEFIT? Or why not chill it out and have the pleasure of running round the stores at the last minute begging the sales assistants to see if there isn't just one Bakugan Dragonoid
left in the storeroom. As one wag suggested do you think your kids will mind if instead of a genuine Zhu Zhu
you just get them any old furry hamster, you bet they'll mind!

Zhu ZHu Pet Hamsters Flying off the Shelves

2009-11-12T15:25:00.001-08:00

Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters AKA as GO GO Hamsters flying off the shelves
But they are flying off the shelves, with some stockists boasting that whole shipments are sold out between 30 seconds and three minutes after reaching the shop floor.

In the UK initial demand was so high that Toys R Us did not even list Go Go Pets in its Christmas catalog to avoid disappointing customers.

Toys Will Be in Desperately Short Supply This Year!

2009-10-31T07:30:00.000-07:00

The major stores made their orders for toys for Xmas 2009 in the depths of the recession, they played it safe and were conservative. The recent good news of real growth and from Wall Street plus the very recent announcement that the US has officially exited recession means that there will be drastic toy shortages come Xmas Week. With probable last minute panic buying, so buy early.

Even in this day and age there is a 90 DAY TURNAROUND for Major Orders to Factory and Arrival of Goods in the Stores. Apparently Chinas Toy Manufacturers are complaining of shortage of workers, and losing good workers to the higher paying technology companies.

Amazon seems to be only outlet with full stock (What did they know?)

Judge Orders Bratz Dolls to be Banned

2008-12-05T04:36:00.000-08:00

The collective pout on the lips of Jade, Cloe, Yasmin and Sasha is about to become even more pronounced.
STOP PRESS : California judge orders company to stop making Bratz dolls

Ruling sends shockwaves through toy industry as peak holiday shopping time arrives

A judge in California ruled late on Wednesday that the makers of Bratz, the attitude-laden teenage dolls that exposed Barbie as a square, must immediately stop making the hit toy and recall its models from shop shelves in the new year.

The ruling sent shockwaves through toyland as the industry gears up for its busiest time of the year. In June, sales of Bratz in the US reached $3.1bn (£2.1bn) since their launch in 2001. Sales of Barbie, still America's most popular toy, fell by 15% in 2007.

The ruling comes three months after Mattel, the makers of Barbie, won a copyright case in which it argued that the Bratz concept had been developed by one of its designers. A jury agreed that Carter Bryant had come up with the original designs while at Mattel and had taken them to MGA, which launched the Bratz line in 2001. The jury awarded Mattel $10m for copyright infringement and $90m for breach of contract.

How to Make Money From Toys this Xmas

2008-11-26T09:57:00.000-08:00

Shortages of Hot Toys will already be happening. The trick is to find stock of them for resale on eBay or Amazon. Try out of the way or smaller retailers they will often still have a few.

Beware however of buying toys that that everyone knows or expect to be in short supply, it is likely that eBayers already have bought stock. Instead look out for the unexpected Xmas hits. How do you this well listen to your kids and their friends, Google of course, ask staff in the Toy Shops what's hot!

Wii to Win Xmas 2008 Battle

2008-11-26T09:54:00.000-08:00

Sales figures from industry-tracking website VGChartz shows that more around 336,517 Nintendo Wii consoles have been bought in the last month, compared to about 190,440 Xbox 360 consoles and 88,561 PlayStation 3s.

The release of games such as exercise title Wii Fit and child-friendly Wii Music are thought to have boosted sales of the Nintendo console, which has been credited with introducing a new generation to video gaming.

Sony, is hoping however to win over cash-strapped shoppers with its PlayStation 3 console, which combines high-definition gaming with a Blu-ray DVD player.

According to analysts at Screen Digest, high-definition Blu-ray DVD players are going to be among the best-selling gadgets this Christmas, but many of the cheaper players are in short supply. Shoppers are therefore expected to opt for devices such as the PlayStation 3 which have multiple uses and offer better value for money

A Little Italian Birdy Told Me

2007-10-26T03:27:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine told me that her little cousin is mad about the Gormiti www.gormiti.info (are they just in Italy, or are they called something else worldwide?) and wants everything about them, from slippers to panties to school diaries.

My friend also knows from her job as a journalist that on November 30th the Winx movie will be released and they are programming a HUGE marketing campaign about it, so... Be ready for Winx attack.

How do you make Money from Hot Toys?

2007-10-23T08:44:00.000-07:00

Assuming you have identified what the hot toys are going to be, you then need to purchase stock. This shouldn't be easy because they should be hard to get. The trick is keep calling in at local toy stores, asking when they get deliveries; patience and luck necessary. You need a positive attitude however, you need to believe that you can locate your supplies. Try going to smaller out of the way stores.
