anyone else notice 62-gram shells getting harder to find or is that just my area

Went to 3 different stores in PA last weekend looking for some decent 60g canisters and the shelves were mostly filled with those 35g ‘artillery shell’ kits. The only 60g stuff I found was like 2 year old stock collecting dust.

Is this a supply thing or are the manufacturers just pushing the cheaper stuff cause the margins are better? Kinda frustrating tbh.

Not just your area. Talked to my guy at the wholesale club and he said a lot of the 60g stuff coming out of China got delayed cause some factories were still catching up from the 250 rush. Plus a bunch of containers got flagged at the port earlier this year.

He said expect better stock by mid-September but who knows. The 35g kits definitely have higher margins for the stores so they’re not complaining lol.

Same in Ohio tbh. I managed to grab a case of Windas last month but they were literally the last box at the tent. The guy working said they couldn’t get restocked on 60g until after Labor Day.

Honestly the 200g cakes have been pretty decent this year though. The Golden Peacock stuff especially — not the same as a canister shell obviously but you get a lot of variety for the price. Might just do a cake-heavy show this Labor Day.
