Go to Post I'm sure FIRST did the math. They always do the math. Just not math humans use. It was probably given to them from NASA from the aliens so we'd quit predicting the divisions before they release it. - Koko Ed [more]

Ill see if i can get a hold of one of them and let you know how they did it... my guess is they rode the edge of the sellout from blip toys or whatever the manufacturer is called.

Yeah but this supposedly couldn't happen... it said in Bill's Blog that Blip can't sell to individual teams, and that they're not on Walmart's website. I was pretty curious when Sirui told me you had 25 coming, not 25 on-hand. There must be black market orbit balls floating around...

Yeah, my team, 135, has bought out most of the Wal-marts in our area. I would say we have any where between 25 to 40 OBs. Always looking for more!
