I have my doubts that this is the case. The retailers would simply return these if they had the clout. To me an alternative scenario is that THQI had them in stock and sold them to the stores for $7.50 or less. Thus they might be additional revenue to THQI in this quarter. Or perhaps THQI did give them some credit immediately or on future purchases. Probably the number of units is pretty small and doesn't mean much either way.
