Visited a large Walmart in my area of Houston yesterday-This store stocks all four fishing games; none in stock. They order 18 of each at a time. They come in and last for a few days. An order goes in before the sellout, but the shipping time is week or 10 days. As a result, this store has any particular fishing game only 20-30% of the time. The toy person there says that the computer is supposed to adjust orders to compensate, but has not kept up. This store has had several orders of each fishing game since Christmas. I estimate that this store has sold 200-400 fishing games since Chistmas even with the described stocking program. The new night vision games are starting to sell at this Walmart, but not at any rate like the fishing games. The fishing games are not cooling off-still red hot at the Target and Walmart I have checked. The toy managers at these two stores are very impressed. This sounds like a repeat of other posts from around the country. Got to be a good indicator of srrong Q1 and Q2 results. phil
