Top Ten Toy Deals of Black Friday 2009
In our previous article, Hot Toys for the 2009 Holiday Season, we covered the five most popular children's toys for the upcoming Holiday season. Unfortunately, retailers are well aware which toys are hot items and thus, they are rarely in-stock and almost never go on sale.
This article does not exclusively focus on the "hot" toys and instead is a brief highlighting of the best available deals on more commonly-available, popular children's toys.
I know what everyone is thinking: what could a male college-student possibly know about children's toys? Which is exactly why this article was written by Carli Entin, an associate editor at Scholastic and author of the website PresentProfessor.com.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is still a hot property, and at 40% off, this is a great deal.
One of the most popular toys from last year returns at a micro price.
A bit smaller than the original RipStik, designed for people "with a narrower stance" and for those interested in tricks. Also for those who want to save an extra $15; The RipStik classic is on sale almost everywhere (including Kmart) for around $50.
Finally, a price befitting a toy, not an actual pony.
Alone, the four "room" sets are hard to find and cost at least $13 each at Amazon.com; together, they are a formidable pink powerhouse.
The critically acclaimed active learning game at one-fourth its original price.
Similar Deal: Hot Wheels Trick Tracks Jumbo Stunt Set
$19.99 (Reg. $39.99) at Kohl's
What's the difference between Colossal and Jumbo? From what I can tell, Walmart gives you one more car a little more bang for your buck.
Quick transforming action figure/cars for the younger set. Get two so they can "battle."
A better Littlest-Pet-per-dollar ratio than Target's exclusive set, with 12 pets and accessories.
For the money, the best doll deal of the day.
