There are growing worries for toy stores over the supply chain shortage.
Shop owners say they're facing inventory problems ahead of the holiday season.
"We're placing orders every day, constantly. As many as we can think of. One of my bigger companies, I ordered a huge order in February, and it just shipped a couple of weeks ago. So, it's so hard to determine when and if things are going to come," says Christina Clark, Kidding Around NYC owner.
The Toy Association says 85% of all toys sold in the U.S. are imported. The ships carrying those toys, most from Asia, are stuck in the major logjam off U.S. coasts.
