Anecdotally I haven't seen them on ANY of the B&N, Targets, or other big box stores I have visited in person recently.  I don't think it's a lack of sales, its just not on the shelves yet.I think that is a good example.  If I recall, your distributor had almost all of those already spoken for as well (and you had to convince them that you had them reserved before they would give them to you or you would be out of luck to get them).  This indicates that even in your local area, the PHB is doing well.  I also understand that there are more shipments, or they are trying to get more shipments out ASAP so that the availability will be there over the next few weeks for those who didn't have enough reserved.  To me, I think that feels like the PHB is selling extremely well even before it's hit the big box stores.  IF the PHB didn't sell well, I think that would have been the shock of the decade.  It was expected to sell well and it's going to help boost numbers this quarter.  I'd even go as far as to say it may be selling better than some expected it to.</blockquote>
