USAopoly.com has been taking
pre-orders for the ever popular Nintendo Monopoly set due out later
this month. They're retailing it for $35.95 plus shipping and handling.
Unfortunately, by the time we got around to pre-ordering it, it was
on back order already, so it won't arrive for two-eight weeks, at
least, after it is released. Thanks to Killswitch over at Zelda Legacy
for the heads up.
Quoted directly from the USAoploy site:
