The Best Black Friday Toy Ads

Toys "R" Us might reign supreme for the sheer number of toys that fill its shelves, but there are plenty of other places to score sweet toy deals. Here, we've highlighted the best of the best Black Friday toys from Walmart, Target, and more.

Hoverboards

Swagtron T5 Hoverboard for $199.99 at Toys "R" Us
This is the lowest we've seen advertised for any hoverboard this season. Other retailers are currently charging at least $100 more.
Razor Hovertrax 2.0 Self-Balancing Scooter, plus $105 Kohl's Cash for $349.99 at Kohl's
Although Walmart will offer this same model for $273, if you can use the Kohl's Cash with this deal, it effectively drops the price to around $245. That's the lowest price we've seen for this model, but Walmart still has the lowest price we've seen outright for this one.
Jetson V5 Active Balance Scooter with Bluetooth Speaker, LED Lights, & Mobile App, plus $90 Kohl's Cash for $299.99 at Kohl's
Assuming you'll use the Kohl's Cash, the price of this hoverboard falls much closer to the lowest price we've seen for hoverboards this season, period.

Star Wars

Sphero BB-8 App-Enabled Droid plus $30 Kohl's Cash for $119.99 at Kohl's
The lowest we've seen this toy drop to was $97, and that was back on Prime Day. Assuming you'll use the Kohl's Cash, it effectively drops this to $90, which is the best price we've seen.

Not interested in Kohl's Cash? Amazon and Meijer both have it for $99.99.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter for $19.95 at AAFES
Most other retailers are charging at least $25 for this toy. If you can shop at AAFES, you'll save at least $5. You can see if you qualify here.
Star Wars Legendary Jedi Master Yoda Collector Box Edition for $29.99 at Toys "R" Us
Previously this toy only dropped as low as $49, making this the lowest price we've seen outright.

Drones

DJI Phantom 3 Standard Drone for $369 at Walmart
Many retailers have this or similar drones listed in their Black Friday ads, but this is one of the best deals we've seen for this new model. We've seen this model drop to $369 before, but that was for a refurb.
Parrot Bebop Drone for $199.99 at Meijer
We've seen this model drop to this price before, but it earned an Editors' Choice distinction when it did.
Nighthawk Drone with HD Camera & Streaming Video for $69.99 at Belk
We haven't seen any deals for this particular model, but at this price point it's a very affordable way for someone to get into a new hobby using drones.

Trampolines

Skywalker 15-Ft. Trampoline with Enclosure for $199.99 at Toys "R" Us
This is the best price we've seen for a trampoline of this size with an enclosure. Previously, the lowest we saw was $250.
Stats 8-Ft. Trampoline with Enclosure for $89.99 at Toys "R" Us
Great for smaller backyards, as well as the best price we've seen. The lowest we've previously seen a trampoline of this size drop to was $139.

Everything Else

Monster High Deadluxe High School Playset for $77.99 at Toys "R" Us
Other retailers will be offering this playset as a Black Friday deal, but Toys "R" Us beats them all handily with this deal. Previously, the best price we saw was $91, and that was last December.
Mega Blocks 80-Pc. Construction Blocks for $9.99 at Kmart
This huge starter set dropped as low as $11 last December. It qualified as Editors' Choice fare then, and this new price point is definitely even better.
Skylanders Imaginators Starter Packs for $37.49 at Toys "R" Us
These starter packs are the lowest price we've ever seen. Previously, they earned Editors' Choice status priced at $40.
Hatchimals for $48.88 at Walmart
These toys have pretty much sold out everywhere, but Walmart is due to have some in stock. Even though this price is only slightly below list, if you can manage to snag one, it's a deal. Many of these toys were bought up and are being sold on sites like eBay for far more.
Playskool Sesame Street Play All Day Elmo for $19.99 at Toys "R" Us
Although this isn't a new toy, parents that missed out (or just held off buying) so far will be glad to know this is the best price we've seen. Previously it dropped to $34 last December, and then a few weeks later, was bundled with a $20 gift card for $49 at Target.
Avigo MINI Cooper Paceman 6V Ride-On for $99.99 at Toys "R" Us
Previously the best price we saw for this battery-powered toy was $150.

Looking for a different style? Toys "R" Us will also offer the Avigo BMW X5 6V Ride-On for the same price.
Power Wheels Wild Thing for $199.99 at Toys "R" Us
This is one of the hottest toys of the season, making the Fabulous 15 list. We haven't previously seen any deals on it, but currently other retailers are charging at least $284.99 or more.
