Re: Orbit balls breaking

When we got to walmart to buy them there were quite a few broken in the store. But most of them did not have boxes or price tags either. I was thinking they were probably returns. That just got thrown back out on the shelf. I agree I think we will be going through alot of game pieces this year.

Them being so hard to find is a typical problem with FIRST teams though. Unless the manufacturer is ready for the rush they will be out for a long time. I have heard that they are not making them anymore also. First most likely made the game before the manufacture stoped production.

But to be honest there is alot of first teams. it is hard for a manufacture to figure out hos much to make of an item. Because I do not think that other people really understand the quanitity that is needed.
