"This is a special season and we don't want anyone to be disappointed," Spin Master said in a statement.

The good news is that if you strike out this holiday season, your kid won't be without a Hatchimal forever.

The company noted that some retailers are working on pre-sale or rain-check programs that shoppers can redeem in January. You can check the Hatchimals website for details on these programs as they become available.
