Don't reach completion too fast, you'll have nothing else to collect after that :P
BTW, I removed my first block buster sticker today on a N64 game. Not sure how you removed yours, but I use the single "tool" I had... a lighter :)
Just a few seconds of heating a few inches from the label, then it peeled of like a charm. Quite surprising what can be done with the right tools/technique.

DUDE! I could NOT get those fucking things off. No amount of heat or solvent would do it for me. Had to do some back swaps with doubles that I had on hand :(

Wow! I guess I was lucky then. The lighter trick did provided a massive amount of heat, I almost burned the second blockbuster sticker (barcode). I should have taken pictures before, but here is the result:
It was wrapping the right side:
Up to the back label, it didn't even peeled of or ripped the label, but there might be traces of glue residue I could not remove in the gap:
It was positioned like that:

I overslept so I missed my first bus to get to my second bus to get to collage. So I missed my first class and took the later bus. I stopped at the ATM and was just going to take $20 out, but I would have a spare 25 minutes downtown between buses, so I took $40 and was planning to go to Gamestop to see if my Bowser preorder came in and to pay off some of the other Amiibos. There was a line, and a the counter was a guy trying to trade in games, I think for a PS4. Next to me on the ground was a bag full of a PS3, PS2, Gamecube systems, and NES, N64, PS2 and NGC games he was trying to trade in. GS doesn't take the older stuff in, and on his way out, he went to grab he bags and I asked him how much he wants for the NES games, he said $20, then I asked for the entire bag, he thought for a second and said $40, I took it on the spot. A GS employee was there too on his way out and nabbed Pokemon Yellow for $10, he offered $5 and the guy said $10.
There was a tote gag as well, but I emptied everything in my backpack and forgot it in class. Hopefully there is nothing in any pockets I missed, I did not get a good look at the bag. I'll pick it up between classes tomorrow. After class I was debating going to Goodwill, because I was feeling lucky, but my bag was empty, my wallet was mostly empty with no easy ATM near by, and there was a ton of snow. I just went home.
Most CD Games had manuals, the Xbox game was missing the disc, but had a condom wrapper instead. :(
TL;DR : I got this from someone in Gamestop for $40.
