Walmart’s big summer toy clearance is happening right now, and we’re spotting markdowns on top brands like Lego, Pokemon, TMNT, Disney, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Melissa & Doug, and even viral plush crazes.
This semi-annual event usually hits in June and December, with discounts starting around 40% - 50% and climbing to 80% as inventory drops. We saw an early round of toy markdowns this past spring, but the summer clearance is where the biggest price cuts are showing up.
Whether you're stocking up for birthdays, holidays, or just looking to grab toys on the cheap, now’s the time to save up to 80% while the shelves still have some heat.
The best Walmart toy deals during these clearance events will be available in stores only, although we sometimes see a few Walmart clearance toy deals online too. And unlike Walmart Rollbacks and other Walmart sales, these Walmart clearance deals won't go back up in price after the sale ends — but they will sell out.

Walmart toy clearance happens about twice a year, with toy deals of 50% - 80% off.
Walmart's toy clearance is a semi-annual event that happens about two times a year, once starting in June and again starting in December. With each of the semi-annual Walmart toy clearance events, you'll find discounts of 50% - 80% on dolls, collectibles, and action figures from top brands like Lego, Fisher-Price, Barbie, and Melissa & Doug. Last April, we even saw a mid-spring toy clearance event, which was new for 2024.
But here's a heads up: Some of the best Walmart toy deals during these clearance events will be in stores only. We see Walmart clearance toy deals online too, but discounts, availability, and timing won't always line up with in-store clearance.
The Walmart Semi-Annual Toy Sale started on Thursday, June 12, 2025.
Walmart doesn't officially announce the start of the Semi-Annual Toy Sale, but our KCL shoppers have found tons of toys on clearance. Like most Walmart clearance events, there's no exact end date, but count on the sale lasting a total of 4 - 6 weeks.
And looking ahead to winter 2025, KCL predicts the next Walmart Toy Clearance Sale will take place starting Saturday, Dec. 28, 2025.
How did we make our prediction?
In 2024, Walmart started their in-store winter toy clearance on Friday, Dec. 27, 2024, and it lasted through the week of Feb. 13, 2025. We can expect to see clearance deals on toys right after Christmas.
Keep in mind that Walmart toy clearance prices are sometimes cheaper than marked.
With all the different products and markdowns happening at any given time, it’s common to find items that get missed for a second or third markdown. Be sure to use our Walmart price scanner hacks to find hidden Walmart clearance on the shelves. All you have to do is download the official Walmart app (iOS/Android).
How to check clearance prices in store: Just tap the barcode icon in the search bar of your Walmart app; then scan the item’s barcode with your phone to see the current clearance price. I always turn on location services (or connect to in-store Wi-Fi) for the most accurate prices.
Discounts vary by location, so visit multiple Walmart stores to score the best deals.
Walmart clearance prices can differ from store to store, so it’s worth checking out a few locations if you’re looking for the biggest savings. During the summer 2024 toy clearance, here’s what we noticed across different regions:
Atlanta: Discounts started at 50% and reached up to 80% by the final weeks.
Chicago: Limited signage, but deals were strong at 50% – 70% off.
Dallas: Discounts were at 50% initially, with select toys reaching 80% later.
Los Angeles: Clearance toys were up to 70% off, but the most popular items sold out fast.
KCL TIP: Visit stores early in the clearance cycle for the best selection; then return later for deeper discounts as the sale progresses.
Shop in-store for the best toy deals, but keep an eye out for discounts on Walmart's website too.
While the deepest discounts are usually found in-store, you can also find toy clearance deals online. These online deals may have different pricing or inventory compared to what’s available in stores, so it’s smart to check both. If you’re shopping online, filter by “clearance” under the toy category to easily find discounted items.
Look for markdowns on top brands like Disney, Nerf, and Hot Wheels.
Walmart’s toy clearance isn’t just about clearing out leftover inventory — it’s a chance to grab popular brands at a fraction of the cost. In June 2024, the clearance event included deals like these:
Gabby’s Dollhouse, 71% off select playsets
CoComelon Learning JJ Doll, 64% off
Hot Wheels Monster Trucks, up to 70% off
KCL TIP: Keep an eye out for endcaps and clearance aisles, where many hidden gems get stashed.
Combine clearance deals with Walmart Cash to maximize savings.
If you’re familiar with how to leverage Walmart Cash, use your earned cash back to save even more during the toy clearance event. Just apply your Walmart Cash balance at checkout to lower your out-of-pocket costs on already discounted toys.
Walmart's return policy applies to clearance toys.
You can return most clearance toys within 90 days under the Walmart return policy. Make sure to keep your receipt or use the Walmart app to track your purchase history in case you need to make a return.
