Chocolate pictures make the AADL logo look like a crown instead of the sunburst as I've always seen it.

So, for the Reading Game

So, for the Reading Game portion of the Summer Game I chose the Chipotle coupon. I got my free Burrito Bowl and I have to say it was extremely delicious. I probably would never have gone there without the coupon/summer game. Thanks!

Any chance we could get the measurements on the tablet sleeve? I have a very small laptop which I'm figuring the sleeve wouldn't fit anyway, but would be nice to know.

@fevvers - it looks like the description for the sleeve is updated now, if you click through: SLEEVE measures 8" wide by 10" Hope that helps!

I'm still hoping for a restock on the green lunchbox, or it being in a package.

Where's the 30,000 point coffee? I've been holding out! Getting twitchy here!

I wonder whether the super package is included in the 1 or 2 surprise or it's an extra surprise. I am expecting them. How much points do they need? I couldn't decide whether I should spend my limited points now. So exciting.Thank you AADL.

Mmm, chocolate. Just what I need.

Will you have patches again

Will you have patches again this year? That was one of my favorite prizes from last year and I hope they come back!!

This is so exciting!! Thanks

Will there be a restock of anything tho?

There are a few restocks in

There are a few restocks in process, but they're not yet certain. We are trying to get more of the collapsible snackbox. The colored pencils will not be restocked; the last order arrived in very bad condition and we had to get refunds for part of it, so we don't plan to attempt that again. We're looking for one more item! Note, there is not another coffee package coming, although we will restock the current coffee package. I just had the prices wrong on the placeholder, sorry! Stay tuned, all, and thanks for playing!

Cool. More coffee. Thanks.

Not a fan of chocolate

Not a fan of chocolate luckily. Did order a shirt though for my dad and I! Great prizes!! :)

I'm glad the coffee will be

I'm glad the coffee will be restocked. Looks like I'm going to have a ton of extra AADL travel coffee mugs, as I don't really prefer the lids on these. It would be nice if they were the regular coffee mugs. I am excited to see what new items will be added before the game ends :D

Regular ceramic mugs would be

Regular ceramic mugs would be fab. Those are handy for gifts, too!

Yum, yum chocolate! Couldn't

Yum, yum chocolate! Couldn't get it last year, so I'm looking forward to chowing down this time! :)

Some small zippered bags

Some small zippered bags would be nice for organizing backpacks and purses. My kids are having a hard time finding interesting prizes and felt previous years had more kid-oriented options. How about an AADL deck of playing cards, smaller cups (not broken!), and some sort of toy are some ideas. How about a library calendar?

@willow, I love the idea of

@willow,
I love the idea of playing cards. A beach towel would be nice too. My personal favorite prizes ever were the umbrella and the little flashlights from a couple of years ago. In terms of usefulness, last year my son went to school with his aadl backpack, aadl lunch sack, aadl water bottle and aadl hat.

I also prefer small zippered

I also prefer small zippered bags and backpacks. It will be more exciting with such items.
Thanks.

The shop should have tablets

I like the idea of a calendar, cards, and little zippered bags. One year there was a one-piece puzzle...maybe try a traditional puzzle that's in a zippered bag or pouch? Another thing along the lines of a deck of cards are a little pinball game, or a water toss games (handheld game where the kids press one o two buttons to propel the ring up onto a peg) -- things that kids can play in the car on a summer road trip.

Don't get me wrong, I've loved all of the summer game prizes that have been offered this year. But just in case you were looking for suggestions ;-)

LOVE this year's chocolate.

LOVE this year's chocolate. For prizes, last year's picnic blanket and the year before's umbrella were AWESOME!!

The picnic blanket was great.

The picnic blanket was great. I was lucky enough to grab one last year, and it's really nice. Hopefully those or something similar can come around again for players who didn't get one of those.

Is there a way to see

Is there a way to see previous years' shops? Everyone keeps mentioning the picnic blanket. I was also hoping for more hat varieties.

Oh, man, the umbrella! My

Oh, man, the <strong>umbrella</strong>! My kids and I all pooled our points in anticipation, but it sold out so quickly we didn't get it. Every time it rains, we regret our loss.

I keep mentioning these items because I have way too many tote bags.

Just ordered the chocolate!

@manz -- Why do you think the dark chocolate bar is dairy-free? Did I miss this in the item's description, or did you get an inside scoop from someone?

I'm sure the AADL staff is

I'm sure the AADL staff is tired of reading about how much I LOVED LOVED LOVED last year's picnic blanket and wished for its return (yes, I know I need to get over it).

After reading through this year's comments, I'm glad I'm not the only one who was crazy about it. Is there any tiny chance that it would make it into a retro version of a mega prize? Can someone that was offered last year be considered retro? ;-)

I'm happy to see the shirts

I'm happy to see the shirts are back, but sad that only some of the sizes are available. I wear an adult small, but had to order a kids large and hope for the best. Well, if worst comes to worst, I have a shirt for one of my younger siblings. ;)

@yaldah - We look forward to

@yaldah - We look forward to being able to print a new batch of shirts and have fresh sizes! Just couldn't quite fit that into the prize budget for this year, though, which is why we only have certain sizes left/available.

I'm hoping the fresh tshirt

I'm hoping the fresh tshirt sizes include ladies cuts...

I've noticed that the fuzzy

I've noticed that the fuzzy fake tablet sleeve isn't flying off the shelf. I'm intrigued, but not sure if I want to order it. I'm curious if some of the items not sold out will be available to look at during the Summer Game wrap up party?

my most-used prize over the

my most-used prize over the years is my AADL tote bag - I think i got it the first year? It accompanies me on most trips to the library, along with my RFID card that i think was also a prize (and is very useful, whether or not it was a prize). The bag has held up very well, although the side without logo appears to be wearing thin (i can see light through it).
