Don't forget to add that NJ is probably going to be the first state to be built out in the future. Meaning no more room to build.

A little late for the party, but Paramus here representing. I'm the rat bastard you all hate that nabs the good deals in Paramus.

Regarding the KB toys clearance, here is a copy of the my post from the thread in the main deals section:

First, let me just say that I hate hoarders. At the first KB I went to, there were two guys buying everything. All copies of DK Junglebeat with and without drums (7 copies), and basically everything else in the store. I asked if I could have one - "No." I asked if they were ebaying them, and he said no - they own a store. They did 3 transactions, $1200 total. For us in NJ, they claim to have cleaned out the stores in Toms River, Lawrenceville, Brick, and Freehold, spending about $5K total. Needless to say, I walked out of there with nothing, except a glance at the list, which according to the CSR is about 1200 games. Also, even though they will say no, the orange tag promotion (buy 1, get 1 50% off is in effect), which is how I managed to get some games for $2.50 as noted below. Anyway, at two other KBs I managed to get the following:

Oh yeah, the two guys were whispering, and I overheard them say "those cheapassgamer.com people are always late to the party." ::

All $5 unless otherwise noted:

Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones (GBA) $10
Golden Sun: Lost Age (GBA)
Breath of Fire II (GBA) $2.50
Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge (GBA)
Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town (GBA)
World Championship Poker w/deck of cards (GBA)
Yu Gi Oh: Reshef of Destruction (GBA) $10
Yu Gi Oh: Destiny Board Traveler (GBA)
Street Fighter Alpha 3 (GBA)
Crazy Chase (GBA) $2.50
Donkey Kong Country 2 (GBA) $10
Frogger Adventures: Temple of the Frog (GBA)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (GBA)
Donkey Kong Country (GBA)
Dexter's Laboratory (GBA)
World Championship Poker (XBOX)
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (XBOX)
Ribbit King (GC)
Star Fox Assault (GC)
Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness (GC) $15 (HUGE YMMV) - I think the CSR just gave it to me for $15 because I spent so much
Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)

What I didn't buy, but remember:

GTA for GBA $5
Advance Wars 2 (GBA) $1
Mario vs. Donkey Kong (GBA) $5 (Not sealed, so I didn't buy it).

Hoarders are a mess. I can't stand them either.

North NJ was a little better, the always empty Ramsey NJ KB had a good amount left. I got Transformers and Rise of the Kasai for $10 each. Saw some others but wasn't that interested.

Going to check by the Bergen Mall KB later on since its probalby a low-traffic area.

There's still some games left in the woodbridge kb
I picked up 2 $10 ones

Hmm...I don't have time to go to KBtoys until the weekend. I hope they are left with a few good games.

Bad news for NJ CAGs. I just got back from the Bridgewater store, and the hoarders hit there as well. I had a conversation with the manager, and apparently, at the regional KB manager's meeting this afternoon, they were topic of conversation. It seems that they have hit just about every KB in NJ (confirmed for Piscataway, Westfield, Woodbridge, Jersey Gardens, Freehold, Brick, Toms River, W. Caldwell, Paramus, Wayne, Secaucus & Livingston). In her store alone, they spent $1700 (she showed me the transaction log.)

Slim pickins' guys, slim pickins left.

If they spent about $1000 in each store, thats $12K (close enough to the $10K the one guy told me this afternoon) or 1200 games (using $7.50 as the mixed price point of $5 & $10).

even if they sell them for slim markups, if those are the same dudes hitting all those KBs, they will never sell all the games they bought. i mean really. those f'in bongo drums are on sale for a reason, they didnt exaclty tear up the sales charts. how many copies of Polarium do they think they're gonna sell?

I totally agree with you. It just irks me that myself, and every other person who is looking for one copy of something is out of luck b/c of their actions - throwing aside any intentions they may have.

Englewood KBtoys is fresh out of games. Did any of you CAG's get anything from there?

I'l probably check out KB Toys in the Deptford and Echelon Malls this weekend. Also, a Walmart just opened up in Audubon, I'll go there this weekend also and report if they have a 360 set up.

I didnt stop there, but as of yesterday, the KB in the Bergen Mall had multiple copies Polarium, Pac Pix, Spiderman 2 and Tiger woods for DS. They also had one copy of StarFox left.

the rest of their stock ended up being mostly open boxes and display copies. :(

I see. Thanks for the info.

what about Zelda: Minish Cap? I hope i can get it. Did anyone check out the paramus park KB toys. I cant believe people just went and hoarded everything.

new CAG'er from Union County. I heard KB at Jersey Garden's got hit real good. But i haven't made it down there yet in person. don't think i will now. .....damm hoarders

ps. our BB on Rt. 22 sucks (they wouldn't let me use 2 $5 coupons on two separate games to be put on 2 different Credit Card receipts, just cause it was one visit to the store. So i bought one, walked out, and walked back in and bought the other one. They didn't say shit.

, our Target can be nice sometimes though.

I got Donkey Kong Jungle Beat with Drums at the KB in Paramus Park Mall. It was the last one supposedly. The Englewood and Paramus KBtoys stores have several copies of Star Fox Assault if anyone is interested.

Union COunty, And Middlesex (School)

Yea, rt 22 Bestbuy sucks ass. Rt 22 Staples ownz. Rt 1&9 BB is cool. Rt 1&9 Staples sucks ass (The one in Linden, and the one in Woodbrige/islen)

...Hoarders take in in the pooper. I pick up only games that I want, and I'm pretty sure everybody else here does too. Damn crack-hos. I could use those Fire Emblems, and Harvest Moon. One of the Yu-Gi-Oh's would be nice, as would Mario Golf. Eh...if I find em I do, if not...w/e. I'd rather lose the titles to other Cagers than hoarders though.

There is an XBOX 360 display at the EB Games on RT 202 S in Raritan. And they are working on setting up the XBOX 360 display in the EB Games at the Bridgewater Commons Mall.

hoarders suck. the kb near me in west caldwell was pretty cleaned out. stopped back in today. had a few copies of polarium, a ton of sled storm, and pretty much crap.

if anyone happens upon these, i will gladly pay you for them...
