Big store check yesterday and I have come to the conclusion that the backlog is pretty well taken care of. Walmart, TRUs, Target are all showing excellent inventory for many of the products that we have been behind on during this Spring restocking session. Although the product mixes are somewhat baffling from store to store, example, Toys R Us...10 miles apart, but one has NEVER stocked the kids game, can't find out why. Looks like the night vision games are back in stock and are doing steady turnover. Fishing games with plenty on the hangers and good movement. I may be mistaken, but it seems logical that the LUNKER bass is more behind, since the Monte Carlo line was a much smaller portion of production compared with the regular Bass Fishing last year. Since the product has been introduced en mass to niche compete with BF, and with sales being brisk, seems like that is why this one is consistently lagging in comparison with BF. That said, I see more and more space for the category in general, with a guesstimate that Radica is usually in the 20-33% range for product facings against Tiger and MGA. MGA being in the 10% range. Very nice looking intraday chart on the stock today with steadily increasing volume and price with little or no backtracking. People are getting ready for the report I'd say. chris
