Mike, I will be one unhappy camper if Amazon doesn't have the game back in stock by this week. I know my game company has shipped them 1200 games over the past two weeks. Somehow we've managed to stay on the daily bestseller lists even though, as you say, folks can't order the game. It's not like Toys R Us is any better. Right now, Toys R Us and Delta Airlines are running a co-promotion where they are playing Malarky on Delta Express -- giving away free vacations, free games, etc. Everyone, at the worst, wins a discount coupon at Toys R Us. Guess which toy retailer doesn't have Malarky in stock. Sheesh. 1998 was the first year that Wal-Mart sold more $$$ in toys and games than Toys R Us, and they deserved to. I can't think of any other "category killer" retailer that is as ineptly managed as Toys R Us. And to make matters worse, I own TOY stock.
