[ Yawns ]

Man, who knew waiting in line could be so exhausting!

How you holding up Ben-- Waah!

It's been hours!

I will get my copy of "Cyber Sumo Slammers"

no matter [scary voice] what it takes!

Oookay.

Well, it looks like the line hasn't moved an inch.

Oh no, wait! Looks like there's some movement!

[ Crying ] It's hopeless!

Don't worry, Ben! You just have to be patient.

No, you don't understand!

If the store runs out of copies before I get inside,

I'll have to --

Import it.

You might as well ask me to roll into a ditch and expire!

Sumo Slammers! I have failed you!

[ Thud ] [ Snoring ]

Ben.

Ben.

Ben!

Come on, Ben! [ Sighs ]

Y'know, there are no shortcuts in life.

That's what I learned from my Gachagachi.

[ Beeping ] I mean, who knew that a game where you nurture

and care for a digital pet could teach you

such a valuable lesson about patience and --

[ Beeping ] What!

Are -- are the buttons too small or my fingers too big?

Great idea, Grandpa!

I'll pass the time playing

the soon-to-be-old "Sumo Slammers"!

[ Beeping ] Forgot to charge your tablet, huh?

External battery! [ Beeping ]

Forgot to charge your external battery, huh?

Gwen, charge my tablet!

Where you going? The...bathroom!

Don't try sneaking into the store before it's your turn!

I know, Grandpa! No shortcuts!

Grandpa, charge Ben's tablet! I gotta go, too!

Ugh. You would never leave me, would you Gachagachi --

What! Croaked again?!

[ Grunting ]

Ow!

Ben! We shouldn't be here!

Ben! Wait! What are these people doing in here?

Pre-orders!

Pre-orders are ruining games!

Whatever happened to good, honest people who wait in line

at : in the morning?

Hey! You aren't waiting in line!

Come on, Ben! We're gonna get in trouble!

Not until I get a copy of "Cyber Sumo Slammers" to buy!

Ben! Let's just wait in line like everyone else!

Whoa!

"Lucky Girl"!

[ Gasps ] The limited edition "Cyber Sumo Slammers"

with collectible combiner robot!

Each customer is only allowed one copy

which comes with only one collectible!

If only there was a way to get all the collectibles!

Hmm. Duh! Of course, there is!

I just have to transform into Slapback, then two,

then four could get a copy, each with its own collectible.

Then ring them up individually and then sell the remaining

three games to kids back home for a bazillion dollars!

Ben! Ben!

C'mon, quit drooling over the merch!

What's that?

Uh, nothing! Never mind, we've got company!

Huh? Look!

Steam Smythe! What are you doing here?!

Whatever you're up to, I'll put a stop to it!

Ah, ah, ah! That's right!

I pre-ordered fair and square!

There's no way you're here for the game!

Yeah, you hate this tech stuff!

This guy can't even figure out the Internet,

and we're supposed to believe he pre-ordered something?

Hmph! There's more than one way to skin a cat!

Ew. Creepy!

I did it by mail!

E-mail?

No!

Snail mail! [ Both gasp! ]

I read about this abomination in the "Daily Herald"

over an invigorating breakfast of larded ox and pork griskins.

I'm not reading words!

It's summer vacation!

You're already narrating!

Why don't you just say this part out loud?

Ugh, You insolent brats are ruining my aesthetic!

Get out! Huh! Huh!

As I was saying, I liberated the coupon,

set out for the post office by dirigible,

and sent for the game via Pony Express!

And why, exactly, would you go to all that trouble

for a game you'll never play?

I'll use your little game to end the reign

of all this disgusting technology!

You see, I envision a brighter future,

where truths are convenient, and --

Yeah, yeah, yeah, computers bad, steam good, we know!

Gah, children these days have no attention span!

In my day, a child could be entertained for weeks

by a factory job or a --

Get to the point! Get to the point!

Well, since there's no way you can stop me,

you might as well appreciate my genius.

It all depends on this fellow here!

The Cyber Slammer!

How dare your crusty old hands touch its glory!

Glorious? Hardly!

In fact, today's weak technology is vulnerable

to the inventions of yesteryear!

Namely, the mighty magnet!

A few magnetic modifications will make this robot

a data-wiping, anti-tech mech!

[ Gasps dramatically ] I knew it!

You're just here to cause trouble!

You're not gonna ruin a game I waited so long

and worked so hard for!

Worked? You mean your little line-skipping shortcut?

Unless you mean to tell me that ridiculous watch

is your wristband!

Oh, security!

These two rapscallions were...

Line cutting!

[ All gasp ]

[ Customers chanting "Shame!" ] No wristband, move along!

C'mon, let me back in!

You guys are gonna feel real dumb in like five minutes

when Steam Smythe kicks off his evil plan!

Well, I'm out of ideas.

Aw, man.

Don't look so down.

When life throws you into a ditch,

you crawl right out.

No shortcuts, now.

So inspirational!

So wise!

Thanks, Grandpa! Thanks, Grandpa!

You crawl out of the ditch, Gachagachi.

This isn't the end of our story.

[ Beeping ] No!

[ Snoring ]

We gotta get back in there!

But what about security?

[ All screaming ]

Huh? Aah!

And stay out! [ Laughs evilly ]

That'll work!

Bring me all the games!

Ben: Not so fast, Steam Smythe!

There's two of us and only one of you --

You get started, I'll catch up!

Not a great time to shop!

Well, uhh, I guess it's one against one!

But I'm still gonna kick your butt!

[ Beeping ]

[ Growls ]

[ All cheering ]

Now it's my turn!

[ Whoosh! ]

♪ Da da da da da da da da ♪

Ta-da!

[ Cheering ]

-Yeah! -All right!

Where's your transformation sequence?

What? I -- I didn't know we were doing this!

[ All booing ]

[ Crash! ] No one asked you!

Oh no! Property damage!

You really sure Humungousaur is the best choice here?

Easiest way to get the job done?

Yep! Not the same thing!

[ Grunting ]

♪♪

[ Laughs ] Heh heh heh!

[ Grunts ]

Careful, Ben! Looks like his magnet

can repel your sonic att*cks!

Yeah, I got that!

Still think Humungousaur was a good idea?

It's better than relying on luck!

Lucky Girl's powers are precision and ingenuity.

She just makes it look like luck.

Hmm. Whoa.

That's it! Don't worry, Ben!

Lucky Girl is on the case!

Grandpa, can I have some yen?

Oh, uh sure, Gacho-err-uhh, Gwen.

Thanks, Grandpa!

[ Grunting ]

Take that!

♪♪

Ah? What's this tomfoolery?

Now, Ben! While the magnets are blocked!

Got it!

Oh, snap.

[ Thudding ]

Oh, whoa.

[ Beeping ] Still think Humungousaur was the best idea?

Well, I must tip my hat to you

for clearing my path to the warehouse! [ Evil laughs ]

Sorry I messed up your plan.

Blocking the magnets was a good idea.

No worries, chum!

Lucky Girl is never out of good ideas!

Maybe this time, faster is better!

Catchin' my Tokyo drift?

I believe I do!

Form of -- XLR!

[ Ding! ] Oh yes, here we go!

Question is, where do I start?

How about we start with one of these disgusting

"worthless boxes"!

[ Scoffs ] K?

Kids these days and their abbreviations!

Just say four thousand like a normal person!

[ Whooshing ]

What?! You looking for this?

Why don't you come over here and get it?

Grr!

[ Thudding ]

[ Sighs ] I'll just come to you!

♪♪

Ow!

Stop it!

Whoo-hoo! Hey, Steam Smythe!

Hmm? I got a serious proposition!

Just hear me out, bro!

It's been a really long day so,

how about you just, like, leave?

Umm, no.

Why did I think that would work?

I guess Grandpa was right!

There really are no shortcuts in life!

[ Grunts ]

Oh! Whoa!

Oh!

[ Whistles ] It's like the ideal bedroom setup!

Yoo-hoo! Little alien boy!

You looking for this?

No!

[ Whooshing ]

Whoa.

Phew! Now you just stay right there and -- Aah!

It seems my magnetic metacarpus

will need a generous surge to deal with the likes of you!

[ Hissing ]

Uh oh! I think you dropped something!

[ Whooshing ]

No, no, no, no, no!

Aah!

[ Grunts ] [ Button beeps ]

Eject! Eject!

Phew! Now as for you insolent,

pre-teen, little -- Wait! Where'd you go?

I feel like you've spent too much time around technology!

Maybe you and steam need to get reacquainted! Hah!

Perhaps I took some shortcuts with this design!

Steam Smythe is going up the flume again!

[ Ding! ]

[ Clears throat ] Ben?

The owner of the store wants to have a chat with you!

I know, I know, we'll leave.

Actually, I wanted to thank you

for removing that criminal from my store!

So as a reward, here's your very own copies

of the new "Cyber Sumo Slammers"! [ Dramatic gasp ]

[ Giggles ] Actually, I was hoping

I could keep something else!

[ Laughs ] Lucky girl wins again!

Grandpa! I got a copy!

Oh, how'd you manage that?

I followed your advice!

Oh, um, uh, good!

[ Beeping ]

Oh yeah, some foreign games don't work on American consoles!

Good thing we're already in line!

You can just buy a Japanese console when we get inside!

Ehh, I think I'll just go read a book.

Oh, can you believe how these kids treat me, Gachagachi?

I took them all the way to Tokyo --

And you're back in a ditch!
