Well you guys shamed me into crawling out of my death bed to
make the local rounds on my side of Portland.
Target (usually several Radica skus) had 5 empty pegs for
Original, Lunker and Jr. Bass. Not one game there.
1 empty Golf skus, 2 empty Bowling skus, 12 empty Casino skus.
None mentioned available at all. Did have 5 Tank games, 6 Sub
games, 4 Checkers games, 6 Tic Tac Toe games. Hasbro was out
of Yahtzee but had 10 Perfection, 9 Hangman, 5 Connect, 4 Sorry,
3 Battleships. Asked one of the workers what the deal was. Said
they've stocked several times post X-mas, and they are gone that
fast. Commented that they can't get them fast enough. That the
company needs to send more.
Toys R' Us had the usual weak selection. 7 Tank games, 4 Sub
games, just stocked 1 sku of 16 checker games, just stocked 2 skus
of 24 Tic Tac Toe games. Hasbro out of Yahtzee and Battle Ship,
3 skus Perfection, 2 skus Sorry, 2 skus Connect some gone, 1 sku
Raptor Run some gone.
Wal Mart was my last hope that we start seeing some games and
by God they sure had them. I got the impression that there starting
to show up in bigger quantity. JUST STOCKED 24 skus of
Original Bass with 7 or 8 on each, 17 skus of Deep Sea with 4 on
each, 3 skus of Lunker and 2 empty skus of Jr Bass. 21 skus of
Casino, 3 skus Bowling, 1 sku Solitaire, 4 or 5 each of Tank and
Sub. Hasbro was empty on Yahtzee but had 1 sku or so for most of
the other games.
I will go back for another look after weekend but it looks like
larger # of product is starting to show up. The CC said the levels
usually starts to catch back up in March. If I remember correctly.
FWIW |
