Greetings;  I was at the Target today in Okemos Michigan USA and they
had the Mystery at Hogwarts game along with the puzzles.  I was able to
get the calendar yesterday because the Walden Books held it for me. 
They sold out of the calendars in less than a day but are expecting
more.  I certainly have nothing against selling the game on eBay (often
that is the only way some people have access to certain products) but I
am hoping that Harry Potter merchandise doesn't go the way of Beanie
Babies and Barbie dolls before that and turn in to a scalpers paradise
to the point that it becomes out of reach of your average child.  I
still remember about 5 years ago that children went without the Holiday
Barbie at Christmas because people had bought out whole store stocks of
them and were selling them to sell on the secondary market and were
bragging about the fortune they were going to make.
