Is there really any video game that is rare today? Even if they only produce 100,000 (which i am sure they produced alot more for this title) copies is that really rare?

It's Christmas so demand is high and it might be spotty to find but after Christmas this game will be sitting on every shelf from Wal-Mart to Target to Amazon on sale.

they had about 7 of these at my local wal mart. i snagged 2 more for the heck of it.

If i had to make a guess, i would say most big stores like (wal mart, best buy, sears etc.) Probably got a shipment of like 15 or 20 of them, and id say thats it. They probably wont get anymore. I bet by February you wont see them anywhere.

I know when that famicom GBA micro came out for the 20th anniversary my local wal mart had way more of those then these mario allstars. They even had so many that on black friday 5 years ago, wal mart had all the micros for $40.00 and i snagged one of the 20th anniversary ones on BF. And they had about 20 special Ed. mixed in with with the regular ones, now that system seems to be extremely well saught after cib. Just my 2 cents.......

My local Costco has tons of these. I stopped counting at 70 copies. Plus they are selling them for 24.99 instead of 29.99.

I just picked up 3 copies (canadian version) today. HOLY CRAP what an adventure. I was super hung over Sunday when they came out so I totally forgot. I then remember today ( funny how I forget these things when I dont have any extra spending money for games....) I went to 8 different stores and all were sold. At EB games the guy actually laughed in my face and was like " dude we got like 10 copies and they sold out within the first day". Im sure there is alot of them out there still but I got lucky at Zellers since the lady there said they didnt get the shipment until yesterday. Im just glad I have them now. hopefully I can trade a Canadian copy for the US release

I think it's pretty safe to say these things are climbing in value, check out this random ebayers sales in the past week:

from 39.99 to 67.99 in a matter of two weeks...

I got mine fof christmas. My parents said the best buy they got it from only had 11 copies :S

The only true rare game I can think of in recent years is Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition for the Xbox360.

Yup, this game is unofficially OOP now. Every store around me is completely sold out.

And you have nine or ten sealed cases in a room somewhere

I got two for X-Mas, one to open and one for display and I'm afraid to open one for fear they are something special.

Well if someone is in need of one and wants to help out NA instead of a random eBayer and FeeBay...please bid on my auction in the auction forum. 100% of the auction final price will go to NA!

Is it 100% certain that no more of these games will be produced?

Not 9 or 10 cases - only 1

How many come in a case?  Just curious...

here in Aus 1 carton contains 3 copies and 1 case has 6 cartons - and the games themselves are not sealed within the cartons

The Mario All-Stars case has 10 copies inside.
