We found 7 at the local Walmart in Stuart for the exploding piggies... hope SPAM found some first. :-) They were surprisingly easy to find.

Re: pic: Orbit Ball Packaging
yeah, as soon as i heard they had them at wallmart I ran over to the one nearest to here. They only had one, and it didn't have the box on it either. I had to convince the manager that i needed it no matter what, and i finally got her to sell it to me for $10. Only now did i realize that i paid too much... Oh well.
And also, apparently the wallmart has deleted "orbit balls" from their inventory, so im guessing they aren't getting any more. i hope thats false.

Re: pic: Orbit Ball Packaging
Blips website says they sell at Target. Has anybody tried their? I bought out 2 WalMarts and got a total of 5. I have all 3 colors. From the way it is sounding I guess I better find a hiding spot until we are ready to use them.. E1 says they are breaking.

Re: pic: Orbit Ball Packaging
I went to 2 Walmarts, a Target and a Sports Authority today. Walmart was the only place that had them. The guy at Target searched his inventory gun for about 20 minutes searching online & in-store inventory and couldn't find anything resembling an orbit ball.

Re: pic: Orbit Ball Packaging
In some stores, the packaging might actually be torn, so it might be harder to find them.

Actually, if I remember correctly, the place where they are manufactured is on Minnetonka Blvd in Minnetonka, MN.
