It spikes demand. Crazy parents run all over the place looking for it.

The winners are Nintendo, who gets sales in the 1Q, which is normally death for this kind of product, and the retailers, who get parents visiting daily and buying other crap.

My brother spent weeks looking for the "cream pie in the face game" last year. In the process, he picked up a half dozen other board games.
