Walmart released its annual top toy list this week.
"Hundreds of kids, ages 18 months to 12 years, were given the chance to play with some of the year’s hottest toys and pick their favorites," Walmart officials said. "This one-of-a-kind playdate lead to this year’s Chosen By Kids list – the top 25 toys of the season."
Walmart made sure shoppers come to them for at least some of the toys by saying 25 percent of the toys chosen by kids are exclusive to Walmart.
Prices range from $24.86 to $398. Some items are not available yet and others already say out of stock on Walmart's website.
