I don't even want a SNES Classic and this angers me.

The system retails for $80, but Gamestop's child company ThinkGeek is only selling them in bundles with items they weren't able to sell standalone. Not only that, but they have also jacked up the prices of the items they bundled with the SNES classics so that you have to pay even more for the bundles.

If you buy the mega man helmet + SNES classic for $250, you're paying $170 for the helmet. However, the same helmet was on sale for $30 last week at ThinkGeek.

For another bundle, the chess set cost $50, the lamp cost $25, and the SNES is $80 so it should cost $155, but they just bumped up the prices of the chess set and lamp for this sale, so now the whole bundle costs $190.

Other bundles: $330 for a SNES classic and a canvas print of a picture from BOTW

$200 for a SNES Classic and a figure of Ryu.

And more bundles with crappy merchandise ThinkGeek couldn't otherwise clear out of their factories. Yet they all sold out. :/

yea it is disgusting

BUT

gamestop at least is the one place that made people have to go in person to pre-order which is kinda good

because most scalpers just use bots to do it online

most people who actually take the time to go to a store generally want it

however, all those they sold on thinkgeek could been allotted to stores
