Video game stores receive mystery boxes of rare poop slinger

Several video game retailers across the country have been surprised by unsolicited shipments of the rare physical edition of Poop Slinger. The 2018 PlayStation 4 title normally commands high prices due to its limited print run. Recipients are now trying to determine the source and what to do next.

Double Jump Video Games owner SicCooper posted a video showing the arrival of a box containing copies of the game. He noted that the packages came from VS Games LLC in Virginia without any prior order. Staff at the store later contacted the sender and found similar confusion there after multiple calls from other recipients.
