Can you believe that the stores are already running out of certain toys before christmas?

We spent the whole day Sunday looking for a Baby Alive doll that my 5 year old daughter really wants Santa to get her. They first came out in the 1970's and this year they have a brand new version. The first wal mart we went to used their talazon and scanned the code on the empty shelf and said it was on back order but the warehouse is currently out of them,so they dont know how long it might be before getting more in. To cut it short,we did finally find one at the 4th walmart we went to and put 2 of them in layaway just in case we needed it for another gift lol. So just to let everyone know.... the shopping has already begun,so if there is something out there ya really want, ya better get a move on.There disappearing!
