Re: Official word on Orbit Balls

First has purchased extra units for the competition and has informed us additional balls we will be sold via their website in the next 24 hours. To date Walmart has been the only retailer to carry the Orbit Ball and has elected to not purchase the ball for the upcoming spring season. All remaining orbit balls through Walmart are available in their stores and are being sold on clearance. They were not offered by Walmart via their website or in any other countries. Our analysis shows around 14,000 pieces throughout their stores across the U.S.

Blip Toys
1) What about that random report about one being available at KB toys? Fluke? I didn't see any at my local KB last night.

2) And are they GOING on clearance, or were they ALREADY on clearance at the $10 price? If they are going on clearance, then can those of us who bought them at the regular $10 price get a price adjustment now?!?!?
Oh, And if they were on clearance at $10, why the heck did they ever sell for more than that?? Seriously now. Or, maybe they didn't, & that's why they are discontinued.



On a seperate note, I'm glad Logo-Loc is picking up the slack of Blip/Walmart this time. I guess FIRST has one more company they owe a huge favor to after this one. I'm wondering how much they will sell for on the Logo-Loc website with my 2nd question above in mind.
