YES I just ordered the Sam's club set online for store pickup this afternoon. I'm having my husband pick up two of them. That way I have an extra if I find out I need a gift for another little boy in that age range. If I don't need it I'll donate it or sell it on ebay.

just got back from our target... they had rainchecks out for the battle arena, but said they were expecting a truck tonite and on Saturday they did have 3 bakugan tins out though... keep checking!

My Wal-Mart got a shipment in last night and were stocking the shelves this morning. They got in B2 Brawlers, shooters, card packs with 6 cards and a nice card set that comes with 30 cards in a tin with a holographic bonus card. I lucked out last week when I called around looking for them that the head of the toy dept. told me that she thought they would be coming in on Sunday. When she called this morning and told me the good news I practically flew right out the door!! Another mom noticed them in my cart while I was in the grocery section and flipped out when she saw them in my cart. My boys will now have all the Bakugan they asked for. Can you believe that this summer my Walmart had all the Bakugan stuff on clearance?!?!?! I actually was able to get balls back then for $2.50 per pack and the arena was $10.00!!!!! If I only had ESP I would have bought everything up then. FYI- Last weekend when we were at TRU for the Bakugan tournament. One of the employees who were helping run the tournament explained the whole history of them to me. Bakugan has actually been around since the mid 80's. Back then it was just cards, no balls. Then about 3 or 4 years ago the balls came out. They have been very popular in Asia and Europe since they came out, but just recently caught on in the US. So no its not a marketing scam, they really truely can't keep up with the demand. Atleast that is what I have been told. Good lucking hunting!!
