The NeeDoh is in short supply as kids and parents across the Bloomington-Normal area seek the popular fidget toy. Retailers in Bloomington-Normal like Red Raccoon Games and the Garlic Press offer the NeeDoh, but both limit purchasing to two per person, per day. Even with these policies the stock runs out fast. The company that manufactures the toy cut off new orders from new accounts because of a struggle to fulfill the newfound demand from existing accounts.
