atarilovesyou Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I haven't seen one on the shelves in months....could it be disappearing? I didn't even get to pick up the 'extra one' for modding purposes!... ...anybody else notice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Actually on the contrary--- The WalMart in Massapequa suddenly has about 20 of them again... :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxglove9 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I haven't seen any in stores since January. Don't think anyone restocked it after Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I've only seen one left in the Target down the street in Winter Park. I still wish you could buy the joysticks individually. With a better handle they'd be more enjoyable to use than the original CX-40s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 My local Zellers didn't have any in since Boxing Day, until they got a new shipment last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman_x_2002 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Actually on the contrary--- The WalMart in Massapequa suddenly has about 20 of them again... :-/ Same here. In the three Wal-Mart stores that I would consider local to me, each one has a new shipment of roughly about 10 or so Flashback 2.0s each.

atarilovesyou Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'd like to pick up an extra now just to get the extra sticks. I wonder if there's some way to rubberize the sticks, so they have that original feel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_c Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 the Wal-Mart down here in Amish country has three or four FB2's on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxglove9 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Extra sticks would be a great idea but I can't see any store actually carrying them. It would be too confusing to the consumer when they see the flashback joystick which is just an extra joystick, then on the same shelf the 10 in 1 Atari Joystick that actually has games for $10 more. Of course as brilliant consumers in America are they'll buy the cheaper one and then find out when the open it up and try to plug it in to the TV there are no games built-in. And the returns pour in. However it would be a nifty thing to sell though a website such as this The flashback sticks are a bit stiff to me compared to the originals but I like them regardless. I'd like to pick up an extra now just to get the extra sticks. I wonder if there's some way to rubberize the sticks, so they have that original feel...
