The Disney Store is planning a Toy Tuesday sales event for October 29th, and they’re calling it “the big toy event of the year.” Whether or not that’s true remains to be seen but, historically, these Toy Tuesday sales have offered pretty significant discounts in the 25% to 40% off range over a 24 to 48 hour period. That said, if you’re holiday shopping for a Disney fan it sounds like something you can’t afford to miss.
Specific details are being kept under wraps, but it appears that select Star Wars replica lightsaber hilts and other relics will be discounted along with action figures. In other words, deals on collectibles are expected to be in the mix, so keep that in mind. However, the majority of the deals will undoubtedly focus on dolls, plush, costumes, and other toys for children. That said, you’ll find a list of links to keep your eye on for the upcoming sale below.
