The Holiday Season has officially started and shoppers are fretting that some of their must-have toys for Christmas are hard to find due to low supply drove by very high demand. These products include the Pokemon Go Plus wearable device, Hatchimals interactive toy eggs, and gaming console Nintendo NES Classic Edition.

According to Forbes magazine, the Nintendo NES Classic Edition console exceeded the expectations of retailers on its first day of release. People flocked to retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, Toys R Us and Target and waited for hours just to get their hands on the miniature version of the iconic gaming console. Unfortunately, some buyers ended up empty-handed.

Time magazine reported that Hatchimals remain impossible to find at nearby brick-and-mortar retailers but buyers can search the Internet which has plenty of resellers. However, these very enterprising souls are commanding astronomical prices ranging from $120 to $350. A set of seven Hatchimals is even tagged with $20,000.

But here's a good news for NES Mini and Hatchimals fans- Toys R Us announced that new shipments of the Nintendo NES Classic and Hatchimals will arrive December 4. This was confirmed by the retailer in response to an email sent by The Palm Beach Post.

Pokemon Go Plus remains out of stock as of this writing. Again, third-party resellers online are taking advantage of poor consumers who badly wanted the wearable device. However, Nintendo announced that a newly revamped and much-enhanced Pokemon Go Plus will be available this coming December. It is rumored that the peripheral accessory will have virtual reality features.

News Every Day advised buyers to visit deal hunting forums on FatWallet.com and BfAds.net to keep abreast of stock developments for Hatchimals and Nintendo NES Classic. They are also told to get a quick notification on any news.

December 12 is another shopping date that buyers should prioritize. This online shopping event will offer Black Friday-like prices. There will likely be hefty discounts on many toy items including Hatchimals or Nintendo systems.
