After checking out Costco's site for any in my area, they are just about all sold out!
I checked, out of curiosity, on eBay, and found many being offered, for upwards of $140 plus shipping!!
BTW, a couple of years ago, a mini-catalog from Buffalo Games, which made the previous versions, had a cartoon-sketch entry, of a "Plinko-to-Go," game--featuring lights, SFX, and automatic scoring! Instead, the "Plinko-Drop to Win Game," which came in the 10x10x2 box came out.

This is hardly a new game. The Cube on the Switch, from 2022 and based on the UK version, is available from Amazon for $16.99. I got my copy this afternoon.
It's...got a learning curve. My first game had me blow through all 9 lives quite fast. My second attempt was slightly better, walking after defeating game 2 with a single life remaining.

Somewhere between $95 and $98. I don't remember if it was $94.99 or a higher number, but it was definitely not lower than that and below $100.

$94.99 at multiple Costcos in the Bay Area, so that tracks.

Yep, it arrived hereover the weekend, at $94.99. Honestly it's more worth it at that price compared to the pressboard Target Plinko at $40. This is super sturdy and probably about four times the size of that model.
Neumms:
The new Plinko may not solve the old problem. One Costco review says, “fun with one flaw,” the top isn’t flush with the bottom. Another says the chips fall off before they reach the bottom. There were others that raved, though.
