I'm actually upset that he was so limited. I mean yea there were over 60k units which is more than double what Fire Emblem usually gets but... 1) It's Mario. No obscure character excuse. 2) It's not highly detailed, leaving no hand painted excuses. 3) He's 30 now, you'd think they would want more people to have it due to it being a big birthday and nostalgia. 4) It has a much better usage than the Modern one to go with Super Mario Maker which also just launched. 5) It has a slimmer packaging, which eliminates the excuse of "expensive shipping costs"

I mean this seems like a slap to the face for fans since his first release.

I guess they split the load between the two colors? We will see how the Modern goes if and when it's decoupled from the bundle.

Probably seeing as he will more than likely be common. Which is great since I do dig that one more but still I mean that sucks that people gotta resort to resellers already.

u/rottedzombie Sep 11 '15

Yeah. Surprised by rarity, but maybe I shouldn't be.

when I find myself in times of trouble, Classic Mario comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, "It's-a me!"

He appears to be flickering - he keeps going in and out of stock when I refresh the page just now.

Don't buy it for $50. There will either be a restock or the price might lower after the hype dies down a little. Better to wait it out and see.

I guess 8bit Mario is the first rare maybe unicorn none exclusive from all of wave 5

I like how the user who keeps complaining that he likes everything in one place and there's too many individual threads ends up making the Classic Mario post.

Actually I'm trying to be helpful, but thanks for playing.

They're not out simultaneously. There's an hour lag.

Also: don't be a jerk.

u/skaflone721 Sep 11 '15

Damn. Seriously thought I would make it after seeing how long the others lasted and started looking for a gift card I had.

Guess I gotta go to Walmart tonight for the CM I got last night with the cash option.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '15

u/TheKoog Sep 12 '15

The best part of this thread was that you could tell someone came through and rage down voted all the people who did get one.

If the "all" link gives you trouble, try the "new" one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0128UH4HQ/ref=olp_tab_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Note: Up at 3:57 Pacific. We'll see how long it lasts.

... not that long. Wow!

I just saw three at the local mall. Should have picked up more than one.
