Cyber Monday toy deals are arriving hot on the heels of Black Friday offers. If you snoozed on Black Friday toy deals, you won't necessarily lose, because Cyber Monday usually features a mix of fresh sales plus Black Friday specials that have been extended.
While Cyber Monday toy sales are starting to go live, we're seeing plenty of retailers carry on their Black Friday offers with markdowns on Star Wars, Osmo, LOL Surprise, and much more. Given the supply chain issues that have been plaguing nearly every industry, there's certainly no harm in buying items sooner rather than later to ensure that everything arrives on time so that everyone has a happy holiday.
If you're keen to wait for deeper discounts than what we're seeing now, however, then it's worth holding off until Cyber Monday rolls around on November 29.

When do Cyber Monday toy deals start in 2021?
This year, Cyber Monday is November 29. Traditionally, Black Friday is the time to find incredible toy sales; however, many of those sales roll over to Cyber Monday. Thus, if you miss out on a stellar Black Friday toy offer, chances are high that it'll return for Cyber Monday.
As for Cyber Monday toy sales that are exclusive to the day, keep an eye on fresh offers popping up online Saturday or Sunday. Even then, those offers may be extended for up to an entire week. Note that toys are one of the most heavily-discounted items during the holidays, so there won't be any shortage of sales in that area in the run-up to Christmas.
Which stores will have the best Cyber Monday toy deals?
Want to get a head start on Cyber Monday saving? It helps to know where to find the best online toy deals.
Expect Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy to once again compete amongst each other for the season's lowest prices on toys, games, and bikes. Plus, each of these stores has next- or same-day shipping (or pickup), which is good to know should you find yourself in a pinch.
Other US-based retailers to keep an eye on for Cyber Monday toys include Kohl's, Target, and Toys R Us – which resurrected from bankruptcy to join forces with Macy's to open an online storefront.

Tips for buying toys this Cyber Monday
Is it worth buying toys on Cyber Monday? In a word: yes. Between extended Black Friday sales and hot Cyber Monday-exclusive deals, you'll be able to score significant savings on the toys your youngsters have their eyes on.
Now, here's the rub: toys typically receive their biggest markdowns after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. About two weeks before Christmas, retailers are prone to hosting blowout toy sales as frazzled consumers are keen to get their hands on whatever they can in order to cross names off their lists.
But if prices on toys will potentially be less in mid-December, then why do we recommend you buy toys on Cyber Monday? That's because the sooner you purchase your gifts, the better – and that's especially true this year as supply chain issues continue to contribute to shipping delays worldwide.
Even if the Cyber Monday toy deals you purchase wind up being less money a couple of weeks later, the differential may not be all that much. And let's face it – you're still getting a heckuva bargain on Cyber Monday. Purchasing toys for gifts in late November versus mid-December means you'll (hopefully) have less stress mounting when it comes to getting items sent to your home in time.
Of course, if you prefer to wait and see if you can score the absolute lowest prices on toys in mid-December, you could opt to buy in-store or order online and choose pickup. But once again, supply chain issues could interfere with this plan. An item that's well-stocked for Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be scarce as Christmas nears. Think carefully about whether or not it's worth the risk of a massive shipping delay in exchange for saving a few extra dollars/pounds.
