Sold out! Baby Shark, Fortnite, more holiday toys parents are scrambling for

Every parent has been there -- your kid is excited about the season's "it" toy, instantly puts it on his/her wish list and eagerly awaits the holiday. And then just like that, the toy is sold out (or nearly sold out), sometimes just as it hits the store shelves.

When you try to prepare them for the disappointment, they often respond: "Don't worry, Santa will bring it." Well, here are some toys even the big guy is going to have a hard time getting his hands on this holiday season.

"With a late Thanksgiving, parents really only have three solid shopping weeks leading up to Christmas, and when it comes to the hottest toys of the year, you do not want to wait until the last minute," says Laurie Schacht, chief toy officer of the Toy Insider. "Toys from kids' favorite shows and movies, like "Frozen 2," "PJ Masks" and "Ryan's World" are sure to sell out, so if you see them in the store, don't wait for a good deal, just get them while you can."

So, don't panic -- yet! Retailers are restocking on a daily basis. Even if you don't see a great sale, you might grab them while you can.
