LeapPad 2 Pre-Orders for Release

LeapFrog have revealed that the upcoming follow up kids tablet the LeapPad 2 will be officially released on the 1st August 2012.

Kmart and Target are currently taking preorders for the LeapPad 2 with free shipping expected on the 1st August. Amazon.com were taking preorders for the last week or so, however they have now stopped and we can only presume they have sold out their initial allocation maybe indicating the initial popularity amongst American parents. Best Buy have listings on their website, however currently no option to preorder. J&R and Sams Club have yet to list the kids tablet on their websites.

If the popularity of the first generation LeapPad is anything to go by, then it's successor is sure to be a hit again this Christmas with stock shortages a distinct possibility again. Christmas 2011 saw parents screaming "where can we find a LeapPad?" as stock sold out just as quickly as it had arrived. We have no word yet on manufacturing levels yet as to whether LeapFrog will be producing more units to cope with the expected demand this time around.
