A HUGE toy showdown has hit Aldi stores days before official release.
Aldi‘s wooden toy event appears to have started early, with customers racing to pick up the kids items.
The range was officially set to launch in the middle aisle on October 9.
However, some customers already got their hands on the items.
One Tiktok user posted a video of her picking up items including a wooden toaster, wooden biscuit tin and a wooden teatime from Aldi’s store in Horsham.
Another user bought wooden doughnuts and a wooden slow cooker from Aldi’s store in Purley, Croydon.
The range is hugely popular amongst shop-goers looking for a great and cheap gift in the lead up to the festive season
The range includes items like a wooden ice cream cart and a wooden toy kitchen all for under £35.
The toys are a steal for those looking for a cheap Christmas present for children, with prices starting from just £3.99.
Customers should move quick, as the range only has a limited stock of each item.
Aldi is yet to confirm whether the range has appeared early in stores nationwide.
To avoid disappointment, give your local store a ring before heading over in case it’s not yet selling the range.

How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
