I dont know how long they've been out for, but my brother has Backlash (he brought it home and he & I promptly put it together, and we're usually at eachothers throats
)
So for all the people in the NE, you can get them at Toys R Us or Electronics Boutique. I guess my brother brought the toys up to the cashier at EB and he said "I have no idea why these things fly off the shelves, everyone seems to want one."
Oh, and Clark, our Backlash had some electrical problems too and didnt work right away (one of the plug-ins was half obstructed by a screw indentation)...but my brother took them with him when we left to go visit my aunt, so I dont know if he got it working. The Bobcats had their Deadblow working at Bash, though.
Just think, you can now get your family and all your FIRST-friends' holiday shopping done under $20 and at one place (course, that depends on how many youre shopping for)
