    Default Kmart Exclusive Metroid Prime/Mario Party 4 Wavebird...

    At my store, and probably a few other Kmarts, we have some special bundle packs. We have two Wavebird bundles that we got a while ago. One is for Metroid Prime and the other is for Mario Party 4.

    Now, how are you completists and variation collectors handling this?

    Let me explain, the games themselves are probably the same games, but the covers are branded with "Kmart Exclusive" and a picture of the Wavebird. Not a sticker. It's part of the label. So it is a Label Variation. The edge looks the same, don't know about the back, but the front is branded.

    Did anyone else know about these? And how are you guys handling them? Just curious. Since it is technically a label difference that will have to be collected one day.

    Did other stores get them? I'm sure there were. These are what we have.

    Actually, on my way out, I heard she was trying to see if the Manager wanted to SPLIT THEM up. Meaning you'd have a Wavebird for sale, and a game for sale. And the game would NOT come with a controller, but still have the advertisement on it. I don't like this idea, but they simply aren't selling.

    We have like one of each left. MP4 and MP.. oops.. those initials won't work, will they. Party and Prime let's say. The Metroid one is like $54 I think, and Party is a bit more. Maybe if they were Sunshine bundles, I'd go for them, but not Prime and Party.

    They've been there for a while as you can tell.

    My copy of Mario Sunshine has a similar label variation. It was $54.99 on release day, and came with the guide (official). I remember the same deal with Animal Crossing and Starfox Adventures, but I didn't buy mine there. Those games may also have label variations.

    Well, if I'm not fast, it'll be too late. Metroid was $54.99. I checked Mario Party buy for the life of me can not remember the price. If I'm lucky, I can check tomorrow before she tears the two apart to make separate things.

    I have to convince her the labels are NOT removable. It is not a sticker. It is actually part of the games insert. Not a sticker. If I can convince her, it'll be harder for her to separate them.

    I was searching and stumbled onto my old thread.

    I actually bought the Metroid Prime bundle the other day for get this... $20. TWENTY BUCKS! I got a WaveBird AND a full copy of Metroid Prime for the same price as just the game! I'm actually happy. And the game, while I was skeptical, is actually very fun, if not big and confusing at times. I'm trying hard not to cave into GameFaqs, but I fear I might.

    As for the people who will probably ask, sorry, it is no longer $20. And the Mario Party bundle wasn't even on sale. Sadly. Also, I checked the stock room in lock-up and we have about a dozen of each.

    One day they'll both drop in price permanently. Let's hope it's sooner than later. They've been dropping slowly. I think the MP one is $40 now. Not sure so don't quote me. [Waits for someone to quote me]
