Link, please?

I checked the Target website and nothing came up under a search for "Plinko."  The closest they had was "Plink Garbage Disposal Freshener and Cleaner," not exactly the same thing.

Fun fact: Evelyn Wong, the 5th person to be called on the first show (9/4/72), was actually the very first contestant to directly be called to come on down!  The original first four (Sandy Flornor, Paul Levine, Connie Donnel, Myra Carter) were individually told to stand up, and then, as a group, were invited to come on down.

New S49 pricing game confirmed: Plink! Drop the scented ball in the garbage disposal, choose one of 5 switches (earn more by pricing grocery items, all of which are packets of Plink) and if you turn on the garbage disposal you win $10,000!

Live for the present.  Embrace the future.  Our favorite game show is still producing excellent, high quality, exciting, hour-long* shows every weekday throughout its traditional season window.  It’s as good as it’s been in a long, long time.  If the 1980s were the ‘good ole days’ for the Barker era, so is RIGHT NOW for the Carey era.  Don’t worry about what the future holds.  It will play out in due time.  Enjoy what we have right in front of us in the meantime!

Per the manufacturer, it’s “coming soon.”

Finally tracked down where I first found it.  Wink Martindale posted about it on Facebook a few days ago.

That's because it's not "officially" out. Most Targets have told folks to check back Sunday (when they'd start a new floor set) for the game. So, it doesn't show up online or on their in-store kiosks (when searching for it by name), though it is in their system should you find it and purchase it as it's been put out early by some Targets.

I found it at my Target! It was hidden behind two bigger games on clearance. It's awesome!  :-D

Thanks for posting that video. I thought about going over to my local Target to pick it up today, but... yikes!

Eh, to each their own. If the Plinko board is that bad, I'm more inclined to buy it  :-)

It looks like the pucks falling out can be remedied by decreasing the angle of the board and the table, which might require a bit of cutting into the plywood holders, but shouldn't be that hard of a fix. The fact that it costs 40 bucks in that condition is still pretty bad.

You can put rubber bands around the pegs like the grid they use on the show. You can't do anything about the gaps by the yellow borders, though. But they definitely reduce the amount of times the chips bounce off the board. Now they only bounce out sometimes if they reach the far left or right.

The poster of that video also edited their post to say a friend has the game and it works perfectly for that person.

Picked up the game this afternoon. Holy cow! This is great! Does a chip fly off the board every now and then? Yeah. But compared to the successful drops, it’s not often. This was a great buy!
