[quote name=\'MikeK\' post=\'219527\' date=\'Jul 5 2009, 07:23 PM\']Where are you guys finding the TPiR Jakks game? I went to 2 Targets and a Wal-Mart while out and about and didn't find it.

I did see that Target put the Million Dollar Password box game, and both the MDP and Press Your Luck handheld games on clearance--$12 and change for the MDP box game, a hair under $7 for the handhelds.[/quote]
Found mine at the local Target, and I got the last one. There were only about 20 Plug N Play units on the shelf, and most of them are the Pac Man/Namco units (which is a shame, because that one is actually good.)

I saw the MDP clearance, and I'll get it when they halve it again. My friends are terrible Password players for the most part, so subjecting them to Speed Password would only turn it into a bigger train wreck. But hey, they're good Pyramid players, so I'm hoping that this show goes through so we get a new box, computer, or plug n play game out of it........

I have the Jakks WOF and Jeopardy plug-in games. WOF is excellent, but the Jeopardy one malfunctioned a couple of times in the middle of the game. 20 games sounds like it's a good deal.

Did it start giving the questions instead of the answers?

No, actually, the game just "froze" and wouldn't continue. After about ten minutes, I reset it. It happened about three times.

Click the link above, and you'll now see what the box art looks like.

I'm in Ohio too and I'm in the same boat. Can't find it anywhere. Called a few Targets, Wal-Marts, Meijers and K-Marts and came up short. Every time talk to someone they say "I see the Wheel of Fortune one here on the shelf". Maybe it just hasn't reached this neck of the woods yet.

Speaking of the WoF 2nd Edition Jakks Game, does anyone have it? I have the first one and love it. I picked up the 2nd one and looked at it at K-Mart but didn't buy it. I noticed it didn't have a directional pad like the first one did, just some button with what I think was the Wild Card and Free Spin, didn't get a good look at it. I was just trying to figure out if it was just as good or better as 1st one and what you use for a D-Pad since I don't remember seeing one.

I wish he'd use this pose for everything, instead.

Look at the category this retailer has placed the PC version of Concentration. I must admit I find the concept of a no holds barred, cage match intriguing.

Here's a link for the Wheel Of Fortune tabletop game packaging from amazon.com, http://www.amazon.com/iToys-Wheel-Fortune-...616&sr=8-15. My guess is that it will retail for $29.99 or a little less. I will wait when it goes on clearance for $20... because you know it will.

I had no idea that so many Sailor Moon fans were also lovers of America's Game.

$20? That looks like $12.97 at Target to me.

Small LCD screen, which means limited puzzles, no real dollar amounts on the wheel, and whatever else we find out once it's released.

I'll definitely pass on full price, and I may still contemplate whether or not to get it at the store, only to find out its too late.

Last night, in a local Kmart store, I saw the Family Feud DVD game, with new box art, including the current oval shaped logo, with notations about there being new "Survey Says questions," and a "new low price" (note: that was printed right on box, not a note from Kmart itself). BTW, the price was less than $16!

It's unclear as to whether it is a brand-new version (since it doesn't mention "4th edition"), or just new packaging for the third edition. Perhaps it is a new version since the notation said "new" questions.

There also was reference to TheGameShop.com, which is aka GSNShop.com.
