I found them in a small white cardboard display box (~12" x 12") on the counter right next to the cash register at the local Radio Shack in the mall in Vicksburg. Vicksburg is a pretty small town and we only have the one Radio Shack so I find it odd that we got them here before larger cities. I asked the cashier what they do and she said they just sort of walk around and if they bump into something or you make a loud noise like clap your hands they stop, turn, and continue on their way. The red one was already sold but the green, blue, yellow, and orange one were still there. She and I opened up the green one and played with it on the counter for a couple of minutes. I bought the yellow one for $9.99 and away I went. They are cute and fun to play with. We are having a summer camp this summer for junior high school students and are going to spend one day on robotics. I think we are going to get a bunch of these HexBugs to give to the kids to keep.
