Where to get inflatable penguins?

I am in desperate need of inflatable penguins, 2-3 feet tall. I need to get them from a local store so I can see them first and make sure they will work. Have you ever seen them in a chain store that might exist in Southern California? (Lowes, Home Depot, Target, etc). Also, if there are other really light weight (but still moderately durable, like, it won't shake apart) penguins out there, I'm open to suggesstions. Thanks.

Check The Discovery Channel stores (that is where I got mine) or The Nature Stores. Here is the same one that I have.

Re: Where to get inflatable penguins?

Here are some inflatable 24" and 36" penguins.....Just call the company or e-mal them first and get them to ship you a sample before you place a big order.

They're not expensive

heck,
you turned me on, so I may get a flock for my front lawn at the holidays! My wife is gonna kill me.

Game pieces; I think not! Weird people that own inflatable animals; definately!
