Re: Source for Orbit Ball

I have just checked out the WalMart in Ottawa, Ontario. They do not have any orbit balls. Has anyone found a source in Canada for these things? Or is it another case of having to drive to the states and do some shopping???

Re: Source for Orbit Ball

According to the blip toys site their products are distributed at Kmart, Wal-mart, Target, Toys R Us.

Re: Source for Orbit Ball

I have been to 3 walmarts. No where else seems to have them by us. We got lucky and got 6 at one of the stores. So we so far are at 10.

Re: Source for Orbit Ball

This is just a thought but the balls might've been discontinued since FIRST bought them all. Since there's like 120 plus balls in the game then every regional has the have them.....surely FIRST will have extras to sell since there are so many post-competition matches.

Re: Source for Orbit Ball

For those of us without access to Walmart, please do share if you find an online source. I just spent an hour looking to no avail.

I guess I'm just getting started on much harder it is for UK teams. As of Wednesday, our KoP hadn't shipped yet.
