Wal-Mart Expanding $10 Toy Deal To 100 Products

Wal-Mart is expected to announce today that it is expanding its $10 per toy holiday promotion from last year, from 10 items to more than 100, Andrea Chang reports. The assortment will include top brands, classic toys and newly released items for $10, including Barbie dolls and Transformers action figures. Markdowns will be as high as 50%.

"This year it's bigger, it's better," Laura Phillips, vp of toys for Wal-Mart's U.S. division, tells Chang. "It's about the wish list for the kids, and we know these price points help parents deliver."
