Toy retailers are running out of some of this year’s most popular Christmas gifts as chaos at Britain’s ports adds to a supply shortage.
Products close to selling out include Lego sets, Barbie dolls and ‘Baby Yoda’ soft toys – one of 2020’s most sought-after presents.
Parents are rushing to find alternatives and are being told they may not be able to get their hands on the gift they want for their children.
Experts warned that stores had been hit by a perfect storm of demand and supply problems after shoppers spent an estimated £1.7 billion on packed high streets yesterday.
