NORTH TEXAS (CBS11) – This year's hottest holiday toy, the Hatchimal, has become so elusive in North Texas it has become almost impossible to find.
Walmart said 59 North Texas stores are scheduled to get new shipments of Hatchimals between December 8 and December 19.
Frantic shoppers started hitting those stores on Thursday, but at many stores, those shipments still hadn't come in.
Albert Guerra came up empty-handed at the Walmart across the street from AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
"I'm looking for those Hatchimals," said Guerra. "I don't know where I'm going to find one."
He said it got frustrating going from store to store only to be told they're all out.
"I was going to get it for my little girl, my niece," said Guerra. "Something they want and again I'm upset because I'm at lunch, it's cold and I can't find them."
Walmart said while area stores will get the toys, the company couldn't say exactly when or how many.
