Also, the notation about 1,260 clues leads me to think, not including FJ! clues, there would be enough material for twenty-one complete games.  I wonder how much it would be whenever it becomes available.

That's about the standard for a party game: provide enough content for 20-25 plays.

Evidently Costco is offering a giant Plinko Game. Looks like it's made pretty well this time around, larger, plastic but.....it's $88.....

Well, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled at Costco for certain. But at that price, I'll probably stick with version 1.0 that I scored for $1.99 at Goodwill and put a little TLC into.

EDIT: Found it on the Aussie Costco site, oddly. Marketed as an outdoor game and about 42 inches tall. Seems to include 10 chips, not 20. Everything is one piece and foldable, and seems durable.

Has anybody seen it at any US Costco, because it comes up at the Australian Costco website, but not US.

The Australian site has a price of $139 AU, which is about the same as $88 US!

I don't have a Costco close by, but the Reddit post says it was spotted in New Orleans.

The game is from a company called East Point Sports (known for other outdoor fun/activities):

https://www.eastpointsports.com/

Their website does NOT show it, yet;  However, this other site apparently gives sample "questions," from the game, as well as the instructions to the gameplay:

https://plinkoqa.eastpointsports.com/

The "questions," are in English, French and Spanish; the instructions are in English only.

The earlier post confirming a second season of "Flip Side," and premiere of "The Perfect Line," mentions that the latter title is "based on a soon-to-be released boardgame from CMYK"!

I wonder if the game they are referring to is the same title.  In recent years, there have be TV shows mentioning "Based on the board game..." in their closing credits, but under different titles.

Plinko is now listed on the Costco US site for $96.99. I'm down in Naples, FL right now, and it wasn't at that store. But clearly it's going to be widely available.
