I really do see this launching very soon, this year imo. Just the fact we received the PR about financing on October 29th, shows they have been working to get product into retail stores. GLTU!
I would suggest for everyone to contact ZMRK and Crayola themselves. And not to take the word of someone else on here where he/she's intentions are clear.
And keep in mind it's 7:30 am there. So if you are EST lime myself, than 1 o clock onward is the appropriate time to call.
