Simply search the Gamestop site for store availability using random zip codes BEFORE going to a local Gamestop. Bring the list to your local store on a weekday morning, ask Store Manager to telephone for CIB confirm and have the game shipped direct to local Gamestop for pick up. No charge for the shipping.
@ NintendoTwizer - Did you see my last post at the bottom of the previous page?
Yeah, my luck with ordering Wii games off of Gamestop has been mostly miss. Probably 6 of the 8 games came in generic cases. I may have to try your method of having the manager call and confirm completeness.
Also CRTGamer... Heck yeah, on the thread, what a massive wealth of information that is. I've gone through some of it and look forward to checking more out. Thats pretty awesome.
It really helps having a rapport with your local Manager. I complement good service and even send out personal feedback to their corporate office. I have had clearance GBA games shipped all the way across the country from different states for a few bucks a few years ago; some titles today very pricey. Glad I got the games back then, bought the games not for resale, but to collect and play.
Here is my Thread link again, you'll find additional Guides in the Guides section of the forum.

The funny thing is some obscure rare games are not high priced due to not known by many. Meh, I buy games rare and common to play and collect; not to invest in. For other obscure Wii and Gamecube games as well as undiscovered forms of game play (such as a PS1 Duel Flightstick for Wii Skycrawlers) check the link:
Munchables for example, plays so much better with a PS1 Arcade Stick with Autofire to enable a "Pacman Munch" mode. A collectors frenzy, a random sticker in each case. I only managed to find two different types, I think there were at least two more? Don't get me started of the eight different 360 Perfect Dark releases!
A copy of Munchables is up on AWD for $11.73 shipped for anyone interested. It's graded good so it should be CIB.

Bro, that game alone is reason enough to buy a Wii IMO. Unless you have PS Move; the extra chapters in Extended Cut on PS3 make that the better version. Or you could be like me and be a total House of the Dead fanboy and buy both.
OK, first off, THANK YOU for the tip on Big Buck Hunter Pro. I've used Amazon Marketplace and Warehouse Deals many times before so I know that when AWD sells a 'like new' it's typically in great shape. I bought one last night after your message and I believe it did say 8 in stock. Now there are none. So... do we really have seven other lurkers filling out their collection, or is someone preparing to do some... *GASP* *HORROR*... RESELLING?
On a tangent, I often see the various hunting games ignored in rail shooter threads online. Fact is, a handful of them are fairly polished. BBHP Wii has been on my wishlist for quite a logn time.

Some of them are quite good. Others - like Cabela's games (at least the Dangerous Hunts games) are total rubbish and not even rail shooters but really bad adventure shooters.

Every Cabela's game I've tried (Including all Wii Dangerous Hunts) has a 'Gallery Mode'. Those are rail shooters.

Do you really move along a rail, however? Also, are there any "dodging" mechanics in these games? Is it possible to take damage from enemies? The two genres blend together a lot, but I think that those three factors are what separate "gallery" shooters from "rail" shooters.
