i called around to all 10rs around my area and one store is getting a shipment in on thursday so my mom is gonna wait around there all day untill they get them out and zips are not supposed to be held. i can see this turning out to be like that arnol swartsinager movie with the action figure.

I can't believe your Mom would do that.
She must really love you.
Make sure you clean your room when you get home.
Return the favor.

Radio Shack out of ZipZaps - 10/23/02 - 7:42 PM EST
 

The stores are short on cars and now you can't even order them from the website! I wonder if this is going to continue through Christmas!

Their holding the supply to increase demand :mad: Mean e-bay sellers will make alot of money LOL

They might kill off sales rather then promoto them. Remeber this is Radio Trash not Tomy :D.

Personally I don't think RS is holding up on stocking the stores to increase demand. They probably didn't forsee the extremly high demand of the cars. Simple as that.;)

Looking like RS is running out of zips. Usually just a set of tires and hubcaps set are all to be had.

Saw yesterday a signup list at one of the local places. Today at another stated they are out there and other places.

Must be fun to sell out before you really can run your sales pitch! :)

PS: lookatme you have a kind Mom!

im thinking about selling my zz...

oh my! i certainly hope folks can find 'em... haven't had any trouble around here - seems like every store has a batch (and accessories)...

these things are so much fun to work on i made sure to serveral in both frequencies... i can see how you'd need a couple of each, especially if you run them hard.. (and take them apart often)...

i'm sure that more are on the way, especially considering how well they are selling...

I guess this is the next empty shelf xmas item for 2002.

Can just see it:

Person in a small town see ad's for ZZ around late November.
Person goes into Shack and ask clerk about ZZ.
Clerk say they ZIPPED out of here last October! We are out!

they still are hard to get
