Prepare yourselves, as the sought-after Hatchimals, which have been exceedingly hard to find, will be available at Target this Sunday, December 11. According to a statement from Target, “Stores nationwide will start receiving dozens of Hatchimals ($59.99), with stock arriving throughout the week.” It’s essential to act fast (with a limit of two per guest) if you want to secure one, so make sure to check your local store’s inventory.
What Are Hatchimals?
For those unfamiliar, Hatchimals are plush toys encased in an egg that “hatch” after a wait of 10 to 40 minutes. Once hatched, children can interact with their Hatchimal, nurturing it and teaching it various skills like walking, talking, and playing games. While I have not personally encountered a Hatchimal, it’s fair to assume that, like many interactive toys, they might become a bit grating over time. Nevertheless, kids adore them. Due to their popularity and limited availability, these toys are often sold out in stores and online.
Resale Market and Manufacturer’s Response
For those willing to pay a premium, eBay listings show Hatchimals starting at around $93, with many priced above $100. This price tag can feel exorbitant for a toy that may be forgotten by the time school resumes after the holidays. The manufacturer, Spin Master, has even commented on the situation: “The consumer response to Hatchimals has been extraordinary, exceeding all expectations. This is a special season, and we don’t want anyone to be disappointed, nor do we support inflated prices from non-authorized resellers.” They anticipate that the new inventory will sell out quickly.
Tips for Parents
If you’re eager to get your hands on one of these fuzzy friends, consider preparing early. It might be wise to send your partner to a different Target store since specific locations receiving the Hatchimals have not been disclosed, only that they will be distributed across the country. If the idea of spending a small fortune or camping out in the cold sounds unappealing, Target is offering Hatchimal-themed gift cards as an alternative.

Like any trending toy, keeping our children engaged with Hatchimals after the holidays may prove to be an even greater challenge than finding one.
