Re: POOF BALL?
[edit]

I am told I had the wrong kind of ball. These are the correct balls.

Hmm, I never thought it would be this hard to come by these. At my local toy shops (and WalMart) they only have the unskinned kind. Gargh!

Re: POOF BALL?
I have a feeling that we're about to deprive the world of Poof balls for a while.

Re: POOF BALL?
Playchild.com appears to be sold out of poofballs already. They should restock and we should recieve them by the time we need them though. p.s. playchild ships free over 49 bucks, so order at least 13!

Re: POOF BALL?
Poof is a popular low cost supplier to replace Nerf. Lots of small, locally owned toyshops carry poof products, where as larger retailers may still have contracts with Nerf that limit their inventory.

I suggest that you go to a local toy store, and if they carry poof products, inquire about their ability to buy the right ball for you, perhaps at wholesale cost for you.

Re: POOF BALL?
hahaha I was on playchild.com and refreshed....it shot from #4 to #2. Also it seems like people are buying the 7" soccer ball as well, its at #3 (hope its a legit substitute). What concerns me is that the 4" poof ball is also rising on the list, meaning people are ordering the wrong ball
