Get your kids these toys or face the wrath of the T-Rex puppet! (Walmart)

The holiday season may feel like a faraway blip on your radar, but trust us: it’s never too early to shop and stock — especially for the kids on your list. Because waiting until the Black Friday rush or the 11th hour not only means some serious angst but risking a sell-out (gasp!) of that Barbie DreamCamper your child’s been begging for — at least three times a day. Lucky for you, the toy deals are off the charts at the Walmart Holiday Deals event, running now through October 13.

There’s something for every age from tots to tweens at (and fyi, the savings are across the board Walmart's big October sale, so feel free to score something for yourself along the way). Scoop up the game of Sorry! for just $10, this popular Lego Stich building toy that's down to $52 (from $63) and even a Schwinn bike for $53 — that's $147 off.

Take advantage of super steep deals on the most coveted buys, so that by the time the holidays roll around you’ll have everything you need to sleigh the season like Santa himself. Yup, holiday hero right here.

With Sorry!, players have no option but to turn on each other to try to win the game. You'll chase your opponents around the board while trying to get your pawns to the finish line. Cards tell you to move forward and back and can even send you back to the start, making for an exciting evening. The price is a winner, too — just $10. 

"My nephew loves this game. It gets a lot of use at our house on weekends. Sorry! has been a game my family has played for four generations now, so it just made sense to add to my own house now," raved a fan.

Kids will beam with pride when they complete this buildable Stitch play and display set. The lovable Lego figure even has moving parts, like ears that go up and down and a head that turns. With the Lego Builder app, kids can make the experience interactive by tracking their progress and zooming in on and rotating the model in 3D.

This parent liked it so much, they purchased two. “I bought this set for my 11-year-old with autism who struggles to stay sitting for any length of time. The build took about three hours for her, and she sat there and did it in one setting (while I did my own Stitch set alongside her). It was great for bonding, and it’s the longest she’s focused on any project in a long time.”

The Mutant Mayhem Pizza Fire Delivery Van is on the move from the big screen straight to your child’s playroom. There’s room for the whole turtle gang inside, so they can work together to battle the bad guys (or annoying siblings) with flying pizzas (pressing the pizza slice on top activates the pizza launcher). 

Said a pleased grandparent: “I recently purchased the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Van for my almost-four-year-old grandson. He was so excited when he opened it up. With a few simple steps, it was ready for action. He immediately opened the back door and loaded up his turtles. An hour later, he was still playing with it. The van was bigger than I expected and very colorful and sturdy.”
