Walmart is selling hard-to-find NeeDoh toys for $4.47 to $24.97 through a one-hour online drawing on Thursday. The catch: the Pokemon 30th anniversary box costs $44.98 more than its list price.
Walmart is trying a lottery approach to the NeeDoh shortage, and the prices are close to normal.
The retailer's collectibles drawing opens for entries Thursday, Nov. 12, from 5 to 6 p.m. ET (2 to 3 p.m. PT), according to its drawing page. The lineup includes nine NeeDoh items, starting at $4.47, plus Pokemon 30th Celebration sets and a box of football cards.
GamesRadar+ flagged the drawing Thursday and called NeeDoh "basically a normal price" there. That's the news. These squishy toys have been selling out and showing up on resale sites for many times their price.
Walmart also already ran a separate NeeDoh drawing for the Stack Pack, Stack Pack Variety and Sensory Sampler, at $15 each. That one is closed, and Walmart says results come by Saturday, Nov. 14, at 10 p.m. PT.
What NeeDoh toys are in Walmart's drawing?
Here's what Walmart's drawing page listed for the Thursday window:
NeeDoh Color Change: $4.47
NeeDoh Dream Drop: $5.97
NeeDoh Fuzz Ball Flower Power: $5.97
NeeDoh Jelly Squish: $5.97
NeeDoh Teenie Swirl (4-pack): $5.97
Teenie Color Change NeeDoh (multi-pack): $5.97
NeeDoh Nice Berg (blue): $11.97
NeeDoh Super Ripples: $12.87
NeeDoh Advent Calendar (24 days of mini squishes): $24.97
That advent calendar is the sleeper pick for a stocking or a December countdown, if the drawing gods allow.
What Pokemon cards are in the drawing?
The Pokemon side is less of a steal. Walmart listed four Pokemon TCG 30th Celebration items:
Poster Collection: $19.97
Figure Collection (Mew and Mewtwo): $39.97
Knock Out Collection 4-count bundle: $47.92
Ultra-Premium Collection, Day or Night (one at random): $224.97
That Ultra-Premium price is $44.98 over the $179.99 list price Best Buy charged at a launch that drew overnight lines, as we reported Nov. 8. GamesRadar+ said the 30th Celebration items are "still more expensive than they should be," but called the $19.97 Poster Collection "practically unheard of" lately.
A 2026 Topps Bowman Football value box ($29.97) is in the same drawing, for the sports card collector on your list.
How does Walmart's collectibles drawing work?
It's a random draw, not a race to checkout. Here's how Walmart's FAQ explains it:
Sign in: You need a Walmart account. Entry is free.
Set it up first: Pick your shipping address, payment method and quantity before you enter. You can't change them afterward.
Enter once per drawing: You can enter more than one drawing at a time.
Wait: Walmart picks entries at random after the window closes and removes ones it thinks are fraud.
If you win: Walmart places the order automatically and emails a confirmation. You get six hours to cancel.
If you don't: Your card isn't charged.
Two catches. Drawing items may not be returnable, and orders under $35 may have a delivery fee. Walmart also won't let you add cart items to hit the free shipping minimum.
GamesRadar+ described the drawing as weekly. Walmart's page lists upcoming drawings, so check back if Thursday's window has passed.
What is NeeDoh?
NeeDoh is a line of squishy sensory toys from Schylling. They usually sell for about $4.99 to $19.99, Good Morning America reported in July.
Demand has gone wild this fall. We reported Nov. 10 that Target's $30 NeeDoh Lava Lamp sold out and showed up on resale sites for $250. On Nov. 12, the NeeDoh Nice Cube came back on Amazon for $14.99 with no invite needed.
So a $5.97 Dream Drop through a free drawing is about as close to a fair shot as NeeDoh fans have had lately.
