JJ CoComelon doll listed for DOUBLE on eBay after must-have Christmas toy SELLS OUT in shops like Argos and Smyths

PANICKED parents are worried they won't be able to get their hands on one of this year's must-have toys.

The JJ CoComelon doll is out of stock at many retailers and already selling for £20 over its recommended retail price on eBay.

The interactive doll stands at 12 inches tall and is a popular character from the CoComelon YouTube series.

Kids can change his clothes, feed him, and sing-a-long to nursery rhymes with the doll.

But that's if parents can get their hands on one in the first place.

The Sun checked online at retailers including Smyths Toys, The Entertainer, The Toy Shop and Argos and the doll was out of stock.

The RRP of the doll is £39.99.

However, some shoppers are selling it on eBay for considerably over the odds.

The Sun spied listing on the auction website starting as high as £79.99 - that's almost double the retail price.

Of course, just because something is listed on eBay, it doesn't mean it will sell.

However, we also spotted one listing with three bids already up to £50, and another with five bids at £46.

The lack of stock comes amid speculation that there could be widespread toy shortages this Christmas.

Where does have stock?

Ideally, it's best not to get sucked into a bidding war for a toy and end up paying over the odds for it.

There are still weeks to go until Christmas, and we have asked retailers when they are expecting the doll to come back into stock.

The ToyShop told The Sun that the doll had been available for pre-order from its website, but sold out quickly due to exceptional demand.

It said: "We aren't currently expecting any additional deliveries for this product."

It added that were still other toys in the Cocomelon range available online and in The Entertainer shops.

None of the major retailers we checked currently had the CoComelon doll in stock online, but you could always call your local branch to see if they have any in store.

Many websites now have an option where the store will notify you once the item comes back into stock, so this is a good way of keeping up to date with availability.

And remember, there are plenty of other great gifts around even if you can't get this one.

Hamleys had listed its top 10 toys for Christmas 2021.

Lots of stores have big sales in the run up to Christmas, and particularly around Black Friday.

The big annual shopping day this year falls on Friday November 26 and we've looked at how to get the best deals.

Sainsbury's has delayed its toy sale this year but it will kick off in November, but Argos and Tesco already slashed prices on toys.

There are plenty of ways toe snap up big discounts when you're stocking up on stocking fillers.
