<p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Just slightly better observation here - Last year in Christmas season my local Best Buy had a full isle full of drones, toy types through $500 units. This year, less than a quarter isle of lower end toy-ish drones.<br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ron Lockhart, South New Jersey.<br></p><blockquote>On December 15, 2017 at 2:11 PM John Fuqua via NSRCA-discussion <nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org> wrote:<br><div><br></div><div class="ox-dc51a55d46-WordSection1"><p class="ox-dc51a55d46-MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Just got out of a Best Buy and they are heavy into drones.
