Toying with deals to fight economic Grinch

Some retailers wary of the financial market upheaval are already cutting prices on toys as we approach the typically busy holiday shopping season.

"Retailers are focusing on value," Mae Anderson of the Associated Press writes. "Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and KB Toys have each cut prices already on popular toys — ranging from Mattel's Barbie to the Bakugan game — to $10 or less, and Target Corp. said it is offering $10 toys as well, ahead of the holiday season."

In addition to price cuts, KB Toys has broadened its value program, which offers promotions on new items each week, to include video games and DVD movies.

Meanwhile, trade magazine Toy Wishes unveiled its "Hot Dozen" toy list this week.
