The Wall Street Journal worked with data-analysis firm Thinknum, which tracked prices daily for each item on Gap, Banana Republic, J. Crew, Kohl's, Nordstrom, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Toys 'R' Us and Wal-Mart's websites, starting Oct. 1, 2017. When an item was out of stock or unavailable, Thinknum used the most recent price listed on the site. Some details about the toys aren't shown, to reduce the risk of their prices being selectively lowered.
