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.......

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:

The only true rare game I can think of in recent years is Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition for the Xbox360.
Only 1000 were produced worldwide.

Even 100K, when normally games sell by the millions, is relatively rare and harder to find.

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.
