If shopping at Target, ask for the L.O.D., or "leader on duty." Local Target LOD's said Sunday is the day dozens of hatchimals will restock the shelves, as we move into the final weeks of the holiday season.
Walmart representatives said tens of thousands of Hatchimals are on their way to all of their 1,700 stores. Each store will have "dozens" of the toy, but consumers will not know when they arrive. The best advice is to keep checking with the manager at your local store.
