It's Black Friday. What toys are selling the fastest this holiday season? KYW's Mike DeNardo takes a look...
"What my son actually wanted was this MobiGo Toy Story learning thing." Retailers are having a hard time keeping some toys on the shelves, or online... "I was lucky. It was the last one. So I was definitely lucky for that."
While there don't seem to be any "Cabbage Patch" or "Tickle Me Elmo"-style crazes this year, some toys are truly hard to find, says Ed Crotty. He runs the toy-tracking web site zooLert.com...
"The true, clear winner has yet to be decided. But the Dance Star Mickey is extremely hot. Extremely hot."
How hot is this dancing Mickey Mouse doll?
"It really only lasts for minutes in stock."
Crotty says other contenders include Sing-A-Ma-Jigs, Microsoft's Kinect, and Monster High Dolls.

Some new toys could be in short supply, as Black Friday Santas scour the stores. KYW's Mike DeNardo reports...
What toy are YOU looking for this holiday season?
"I can't find the Kinect for (Xbox) 360, which is going to be a hot item. And I'm also looking for Airhogs Hawkeye."
Ed Crotty, who runs the toy-tracker website zooLert.com, says the Kinect -- which allows you to play without holding a game controller - is a top seller...
"The Microsoft XBox Kinect is really one of the front-runners as far as the video games are concerned this year."
AirHogs Hawkeye is a remote-controlled flying helicopter equipped with a video camera.
Crotty says there doesn't seem to be a single must-have toy this year. But he says Teacup Piggies, Sing-A-Ma-Jigs, and the Dance Star Mickey Mouse doll are selling very quickly.

Some popular toys aren't staying on he shelves for very long, this holiday season. KYW's Mike DeNardo reports...
How's YOUR toy shopping going?
"I shopped for a lot of electronics this year. My son was into a lot of board games."
But some toys with names like Squinkies, and Lalaloopsies might be in short supply.
Ed Crotty runs the toy-tracking web site zooLert.com. He says one popular toy are singing dolls called Sing-A-Ma-Jigs...
"They make some really wild and crazy "hnnoooh-hnnoohh" type of noises when you press them. And the more you get, the more kid of harmony there is amongst all of them."
Crotty says while there doesn't seem to be a single runaway must-have toy, the Dance Star Mickey doll sells out on online sites within minutes.

Is there a toy that Santa's elves can't make fast enough this year? There are a few of them, as we hear from KYW's Mike DeNardo...
While there's no single stand-in-line-for-a-slim-chance-to-get-one-for-my-kid toy this year, a number of toys are in high demand... "I bought the Lego stuff. Legos are hot, DS, and Wii."
But maybe it's the $60 robotic Dance Star Mickey doll that's flying off shelves the fastest, says Ed Crotty. He runs zooLert.com, which tracks the availability of toys on online merchants. Crotty says other hot sellers include Monster High Dolls...
"It's what it sounds like. It's monsters attending high school. And they're taking classes and they're living their lives as monsters."
He says the Microsoft Kinect video game is another extremely popular game. If you can find one.
