Hey Paul,
I was in a Toys-R-Us in Crystal Lake, IL a month or so ago specifically looking for the Nanos. We purchased one to give as a gift. Anyway, what I saw was this:

- Display was on the bottom half of an endcap on the outside perimeter of the store (i.e. not on the main aisle running through the store). We were specifically looking for them and it took a while to find them.
- The demo box was there with 2 nanos in it. Seemed to be functioning fine (clever idea BTW to make the box vibrate rather than running the batteries dead in the nanos)
- There were plenty of nanos, a smattering of regular Hexbugs, and a bunch of specimen cases, but no sign of the habitat set or spare batteries (and no obvious location for either of those)
- The overall look of the display was OK, but a little disheveled. Basically looked the same as the rest of the store (seems like Toys-R-Us are generally not kept very tidy)
- The few older Hexbugs that were there looked to be in bad shape - packaging had been opened, one was just an empty container. They looked like they were either returns or had been abused in the store for a long time.
