Related note: I went to Target to look for it and no Marth. A kid walks up and goes "Oh man Marth was just here a minute ago!". Now for some reason I'm obsessed with finding one knowing I came that close. I only really want it for the collectibility I don't even have a Wii U haha
I work in retail for a big midwest chain and found that the Marth and Villager seem to be the most rare. All the stores in our area only received one of each, whereas we received 6-8 of every other figure. I myself aren't too keen on them at the moment, as I don't really see the draw for it in Smash Bros. and don't see the full benefit of it in other titles either.

They are selling though... like hotcakes. In a 48 hour span, we are almost completely sold out of every figure except for Peach and Kirby. Those two are not selling at all.

Maybe try something like Bayonetta or Devil May Cry 4? I enjoy them, and tend to lean towards arcade style stuff myself.

I picked up Marth yesterday when I was out. There were two of him and one Villager, the later of which I don't really care about. I was looking for Star Fox, but no dice (He is supposed to be out now, isn't he?).

They had a ton of Peach, Link, Donkey Kong, Pikachu and Samus. Surprisingly, they only had one or two figures of Kirby and *shock* Mario. I really thought there'd be a lot more Mario.

Sadly, I can't manage to shrink a cropped version to 6Kb for this forum. Grrr :lol:
It can be done (cropped)!

I was on a long drive to visit family and messing around with my Android phone. I was like I bet there's no mecha action games on Android. Checked out Google Play store and lo and behold I was wrong in my face. Next thing I knew I spent $4.99 and played this for a couple hours: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... nsSP&hl=en

This one looks nice too, but I haven't tried it yet:

PLAY KING'S FIELD.

The girl I've been dating for a little over a month went looking for Marth of her own volition for me yesterday afternoon, even had the guy at Target check all locations! There's one near work I will try today. She bought me Samus as a consolation prize knowing I was interested in that one too. Might have something here with this one!

Any one can tell me in a couple of sentence what is the significance of Ultima series? I hear a lot about it but I never played it.

They pushed CRPG's forward with many concepts that were created or perfected by them and became industry standards shortly after. Like Tilesets, Party Based combat (first done in Wizardy), and the code of contact/virtue system.
