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
