Nintendo Collectors Journal 9/6/2012

Merchandise from Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokémon and more!

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/31579

For those who don’t know, I’m a pretty big Nintendo Fanboy. I not only play the games, but I collect just about anything that says Nintendo on it as well. I'll be contributing to this Mariobilia feature here and there during the times when Andrew is recouping funds for more cool Nintendo merchandise.
This is my Nintendo Collectors Journal.

This week I obtained merchandise from various Nintendo franchises including Mario, Pokémon, Zelda and Metroid. I was also able to find some older issues of Nintendo Power at a low price along with some other cool items. Enjoy!

Just a note, for the Super Mario 2" figures - They had some multi-packs of interest at Toys R Us the other day.  Three contained re-releases (One had DK, Diddy and Dixie, one had Mario, Luigi and Peach and one had two different Marios and Fire Mario).  Nothing exciting there.  The next was the Yoshi 3-pack, re-released.  This has the Blue, Yellow and Pink painted Yoshi figures (same pose, just repaints), but in a new blister pack.  Next up, they had a 4-pack of Toad figures!  All the same pose, just repaints, but included Blue, Yellow, Red and Green.  All your NSMB Wii moments can be recreated! :D

Supposedly, there's another pack that includes Mario, Blue Toad and DK in a new pose (giving a thumbs up), but I didn't see that one....

UncleBob, those would be the Goldie figures you saw. They're made in Melbourne and I've been to the company that makes them, there's still Boo, Goomba, Wario and Waluigi in the series that they haven't released yet.

I hope they do so eventually, there's not enough Wario-related swag.

I don't have that Toad pack yet. Must be new! I'm on it.

Yupyup.  I didn't realize that we had different people running Mariobilia posts.  When this was posted, I remembered the first thread and, as I had just found these, thought I should share. :D
