Very interesting. Up here in crazy canuckistan, last Fall, the local Walmart was clearing out Fox40s at what I assume was cost. A buck for the slim versions and kid's versions. Some were two-packs for a buck. I bought a lifetime's supply, along with a bunch of functional compasses etc., all for a buck each. I donated most of them for local kids in a hands-on science program, who apparently snapped them up instantly. Yeah, baby. Right on.

I was in town today and swung through Wally. I didn't find the whistles, but I did stumble onto an American-made Lodge cast iron combo dutch oven set on clearance for the incredible price of $15.

can not say for sure about the original or watered down. I have never owned a Fox 40. They are not on the shelf yet so i do not have a price, yet. i will continue to look.

Any update on this?
Also on a side note... I live on the border of Nebraska/Iowa. Our Wally's have a very watered down camping/hunting dept, go across to Iowa and wow imagine that, they sell guns and have a better selection. 10 miles shouldn't make a demographic difference so I'm wondering if it's by state

Authentic or down graded wally wrld version ?!??! They look and feel identical to the ones I've bought elsewhere. Packaging seems the same also. It'll be interesting to try some of Fox40's new models. Personally I'd like more volume and a somewhat lower tone, but that's personal preference with no science behind it.

Still is not out on the shelves, I talked to the manager and he said they should be out "soon." I will check again tomorrow. I wish they would stop dragging their feet!

Side note: Lower freqs travel farther (in general), but the problem is that they don't have directionality. That is why you can place a subwoofer anywhere. The direction of a higher freq can be determined much, much easier. As always there are exceptions to every statement.
Anyway, it will be interesting to what price they carry the whistle at.
