GameStop has significant savings on its exclusive Zelda statues. We’re not sure how long the sale will last, but the Skyward Sword Link statue is down to $29.99 from $79.99. The Scervo statue has also been reduced from $124.99 to $49.99.

There are also comments about things like how Niantic wants players to be able to participate no matter how small their area is in terms of population.
