Stocking Issues?
I've noticed this year that a lot of toy stores and other stores which usually carry WW and SS blasters are rather low on stock for this time of year, which I find really odd. Could it be that Hasbro (I find SS much more rare than WW blasters) is having shipping and/or production issues? iSoaker said himself on his forums at one point that he hasn't seen a SS Hydroblitz in stores yet. The only SS blasters I've seen this year are the Secret Strike and the Sneak Attack, and there were only four of each. Might be only happening in Canada, but is anyone else finding this too?

So far, I've seen just about every 2007 gun, and that's only having looked in three stores [TRU, Wal*Mart and Kmart]. Then again, this is an extremely high-priority area for consumer goods, so I'm not surprised.

I still find that annoyingly inconveinient....why should I have to drive all the way to Toys'R'Us and pay a rediculous amount for a plastic water shooting device? And it's not even like I live in an obscured small-town area either...I live in one of the biggist cities in Canada! (which is still tiny compared to cities in the US ). Oh well, there's always Buz Bee blasters

Yeah, it seems that there is an overstock of Buzz Bee blasters now. I liked the Blazer...but they don't make that anymore. I saw a blaster two pack with the lightning (smaller version of the blazer with one bladder instead of two). I might get that this year if I continue to have troubles with SS blasters.

I've finally found the whole Super Soaker line at Toys r Us, and holy moly the hydroblitz is humungous!! I want it so bad! And I caught that spelling mistake on the arctic blast's sticker, it makes it look unprofessional. Anyway, I'm probably going to end up buying one of the two soakers by summer's end I wonder why none of the other stores I've been to carries either of them? Especially the arctic blaster because its small and doesn't take up much shelf space.

Yea, we all know the HB is huge. I would suggest the AB for this year's soaker.Monsoon wrote:I've finally found the whole Super Soaker line at Toys r Us, and holy moly the hydroblitz is humungous!
