Compare In Store Pickup Gaming & Toy Deals

As one of its daily deals, Sears offers the Lifetime 44" Portable Basketball System, model no. 90268, for $89.99. Coupon code "VALPAK5" drops it to $84.99. Even better, Shop Your Way Max members bag free shipping. (Not a member? It's free to sign up for a 90-day trial; otherwise, shipping starts at $32.75. In-store pickup is also available.) That's $15 under the lowest total price we could find for any Lifetime 44" basketball hoop sold elsewhere. (It's also $14 less than our mention of a similar hoop from last week.) It features adjustable hoop height, heavy-duty polyethylene backboard, and a portable design. Deal ends today.

For in-store pickup only, Best Buy offers the Skylanders Giants Ninjini Figure for $12.99. That's $2 under our March mention and the lowest price we could find by $2 for this hard-to-find figure.

Ending today, Toys "R" Us offers the MEGA BLOKS Skylanders Giants Dark Castle Conquest, model no. 95443, for $74.98. Add it to your cart and it drops to $64.98. Shipping adds $6.79, or get free shipping on orders of $79 or more. (Free in-store pickup is also available.) That's the lowest total price we could find by $28. It includes a buildable castle with working launcher, collapsing wall, swiveling throne, interior courtyard with Kaos fountain, and more.

Sears offers Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Starter Pack for PlayStation 3 (pictured), Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, or Nintendo 3DS for $29.99. Opt for free in-store pickup on each to dodge the shipping fees, which start at $6.50. That's $10 below our mention of this game for the Wii from a month ago (which also required pickup) and the lowest total price we could find for a shipped unit on any platform by at least $3 and as much as $23. The pack includes the game, Portal of Power, poster, trading cards, sticker sheet, and three figures: Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Trigger Happy.
