Smyths Toys has issued a warning to parents ahead of the busy Christmas season.
The toy retailer has issued the warning following global issues surrounding the availability of shipping containers.
Smyths is advising parents to begin their Christmas shopping early this year to avoid disappointment.

In a statement the toy retailer said: "It is always a good idea to avoid disappointment and shop early.
"While some toys may be in short supply, we will be in good stocks from now till the end of Christmas on the majority of toys."
Many people will be putting off the thoughts of Christmas shopping until at least after their Halloween celebrations, but this may be impossible this year.
In a statement released last month, the toy store said: "It is particularly important to shop early this year as global shipping and container shortages are causing supply issues in many parts of our lives.”
The store has encouraged their customers to call into the store to pick up their free catalogue in order to make those key gift decisions.
