Just saw this today. Shopko's got their "lowest prices of the season sale" going on. Select games (see ad below) are $14.88, but the most notable game on there for me was Warioland Shake It. Also it notes that all 19.99 titles are on sale for 17.88. Selection will probably vary from store to store.

what's a shopko? o_O"
never heard of it before, i'm in NJ.

also is this available online? would LOVE to get wario land at that price.

[dagreenone]

haha, yeah, I've never heard of Shopko either.

Great price indeed.

[One4Deuce]

Damn, I used to live about 15 minutes from a Shopko but the nearest one to me now is like 45 minutes away. I'd be willing to drive 15 minutes for Wario Land, but not 45. Thanks OP, hope someone scores this great deal.

This deal is only available in-store. I know that a majority of shopkos are located in the midwest and then there's a few scattered nationwide such as washington state, oregon, idaho to name a few. you can check store locations here: http://www.shopko.com/

if anyone actually goes to a shopko to check this out and finds a wario land, would you mind picking me up on too? i would pay for whatever you paid + shipping in a heartbeat if someone would be kind enough to get one for me.

[ackbar7]

Looked for one near me (Seattle area) and I got one in Lacey. These appear to be located in pretty random locations

[Purkeynator]

Wow, great deal! Much appreciated OP, I will pick up one tomorrow for sure.

I only live about 5 minutes from one Shopko and 15 minutes from another.

[ZForce915]

Based on Shipwreck's review I think I can travel the one mile to my local ShopKo and see if they have one in stock. $15 is great deal.

[Kirin Lemon]

Already checked the two Shopko stores closest to me on Thursday after seeing this ad. Neither had Wario, sadly.

[wampa8jedi]

Freaking awesome price... if you have a store near you.

[ddrlenz]

Perhaps I'll try a price match at Best Buy or Wally World. Thanks OP!

[Geello]

Got this game as a Christmas present... Kill me.

[grrouchie]

i would have picked this up in a heartbeat for this price, however nearest one to me is a few hundo miles

Yeah, I'm unfortunate... I live in FL and it says the closest ones to me are in IL. I got family in Illinois but not even a great deal like this is enough reason to go visit them

Words cannot express how thankful I am for the gift I have just received.

[brett2007]

No stores near me, so if anyone picks up an extra copy of Shake It, CML for a trade, otherwise I'd be willing to pay $20 for a copy which should cover cost + MM/FC shipping (and a little extra).

[somahead33]

Sweet. Closest Shopko to the Los Angeles area is in Redding. At least I have an abundance of Fry's next to me.

Are you kidding? $15 plus tax puts it over $16. Then $2 or $3 for even a cheap bubble mailer and then gas and trouble are way over $20. That's not counting the shipping rate. Keep dreaming, Bubba.

WOW!
MorPhiend, I was trying to create a commotion...

To me this game is worth $20-$25 max. Frankly, I haven't turned on my Wii in months and am hesitant to buy any more games for it until Wii Sports 2 or Virtua Tennis (with Wii Motion Plus support come out).

In retrospect perhaps $20 was a little low, so I'd be willing to up it to $23 (although, I would rather trade). I have a huge supply of bubble mailers from previous trades so I didn't factor that into the cost. I also use stamps.com, so I haven't actually gone to a post office in ages. Gas to the store is negligible since I figured the person would be going to the store anyways.

Cost would be $15 + tax = < $16
Going off my Stamps.com prices, shipping would be $2-$2.50 (incl digital delivery conf) for a single game via MM or sometimes FC is cheaper.

So, at $23 that is ~$5 for the effort.
I'll take my chances...If no one bites, the game has been steadily dropping in price, and I'm sure it'll show up for $15 somewhere around here as well.

Thanks

Wow, the ones at the post office here are a buck and change. And 3 for a dollar at the dollar store.

I agree with brett... I think you kinda overreacted on that one. He may have been a dollar or two off, but come on.

Shopko?...........SHOPKO!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

[schultzed]

Figures, I have 2 locations that are fairly near and they are both out of stock.

Shopko is in the Kmart category of retail . . . how long can they go on. Unfortunately, I drove past a few of them in Central Wisconsin (where they still have some foothold) on Fri-Sat . . . but I didn't know about this deal

1 week before X-mas I wanted to buy my wife a Stir Crazy popcorn popper but Target was totally wiped out by holiday shoppers. I went over to Shopko and the small electrics dept. was completely full of merchandise. I bet Shopko will close half of its stores by the end of this year.

[ZForce915]

schultzed, what locations did you check?

Please lighten up.

I've always felt that $5 over cost was fair when doing a CAGer a favor.

For me, tax would be less than $1 and you don't need to buy a new mailer . . . recycled packing is fine. First class shipping would run about $2.50--if they pay via paypal you can do a quick and easy paypal shipping label.

Gas and trouble??? If someone is willing to do this type of transaction (I've probably done it about a dozen times over the years and had it done for me a few times) they are giving back to the CAG community which saves them tons of money in return.

If you want more in return, sell the game online and save your comment for slickdeals . . .

[schultzed]

schultzed, what locations did you check?

Racine and Kenosha but the CS was poor and they might not have known what they were talking about.

I was in Steven's Point and Wis. Rapids over the weekend and wish I had known . . . I passed a few stores on the trip.

You must have a few stores in the Green Bay area . . . maybe you'll find it--good luck.
