Oh, OK. Will they HAVE any of the Ms. Pac ones? When I was there they had 500 of the Pac-Man ones and none of the Ms Pac ones.

It's supposed to be a two-pack, so my guess would be 'yes.'

Until they run out, that is.

By the way, I just wanted to mention that Jakks now sells a Konami 5-in-1 (Rush n Attack, Gyruss, others...), and a Frogger one. The weird thing about Frogger is it's just Frogger. No other games.

Gunstar Hero · « **Reply #7 on:** November 24, 2004, 09:50:19 pm »

Yeah, the Konami one is Frogger, Rush N Attack, Gyruss, Yie Ar Kung Fu and Time Pilot.

The Frogger one looks the same, and is... Frogger.

And they both cost the same money.

What a deal, no?

So my crazy sexy cool wife (hey isn't that the name of an album) went out shopping at 5:30am and

By the way guys, I saw an interview with some dude at Jakks Pacific, and he claimed the games were emulated... I thought the general concensus was that they were re-programmed??

The interview is the last one on this page (try to ignore the "reporter", she gives the word "amateur" a bad name!):

My girlfriend found one of the last ones at my local WalMart after saying she'd steal one from someone for me if she had to, haha.

Great deal for 20 bux.... plus now the gf has her own PacMan.

My brother came over last night he said he was at Walmart near his house and they still had plenty of the 2 packs available.

He wasn't to happy about this seeing he got up and went to walmart early friday

MinerAl · « **Reply #12 on:** November 29, 2004, 12:16:21 am »

Just to verify, I bought one yesterday for $20. Well after the 6-11am Friday impression the flyers/ads gave.

Have you seen the atari dual padel versions?

Kremmit · « **Reply #14 on:** November 29, 2004, 12:34:36 am »

I just went to check tonight- no 2 packs here

I'd offer to buy you one but then with the shipping I don't think it would be worth it.

My suggestion keep checking the flyers >

On an off note someone in my family mentioned there were other types for $12-13 somewhere else

Here in NJ target was running a sale for $12 on any TV games joysticks. I got my 2 pack at walmart but wound up at Target also. They didn't have any Pac/Ms. Pac sticks there but they did have quite a few others.

Tried the black friday shopping experience. Let me say this, people are damned rude about their shopping. I knew they had those sticks on sale and thought about picking up a pack if there were any left. After the forty people in front of me cleared there were no joysticks to be had. I was continueing my shopping and being rammed in the butt with shopping carts, I noticed that there were a lot of people with 5 or more of those two packs in there cart. I just doesn't seem fair to me. Even if it is first come first serve, a limit on the amount of the items could make it a little more fair. Not to ramble but it seems like these people were buying them to probably re-sell them, they didn't exactly look like the 30 and below demographic.

You also have to take into account that these would make great stocking stuffers. For $10 bucks a game you can give them to grandkids, etc etc. I'm not saying your wrong, but you can't just say they are going to resell them. Plus, they don't go for a ton more on eBay anyway....

If there were more than one pack left at my Walmart, I would have bought them. I probably would have bought 3 or 4 packs if I could to use as gifts and possibly hack some.

3dmacman · « **Reply #19 on:** November 29, 2004, 01:13:37 pm »

My point is that there weren't any left, and from looking at the pallet there wasn't that many to begin with. I was there for 45 minutes, I missed out on the joysticks and a piano toy for my girlfriends daughter. I did however pick up a cheap dvd player. Seemed like everyone had one in there cart. By the time I was done there was still two pallets of dvd players left. Seems like I got the run around on the supply and demand of this christmas shopping day. Maybe next year the demand for the joysticks will be low enough I can pick them up for next to nothing.

I saw the dual padel version at best buy last week. I've ben thinking on going back for it once the shopping madness ends...

I was at Walmart today. They did not have any of the two packs, but you could buy most of the individual ones (including the Ms. Pac-man stick) for $12. Didn't pick any up cuz I figure I will play them on my pc when I get my controller built and I'm not up for hacking joysticks yet
