let's hope Samus get's this kinda love with her Wii U or 3DS appearance. It's a crime really how little people know of & under appreciate the Metroid series...Samus doesn't even get a shirt from Hot Topic for crying out loud...T_T
It's true, Metroid has a exceedingly rare merchandise standpoint. Even the figures are hard to come by and ridiculously expensive. But what bothers me is that there's tons of Mario plushies out there and my ex had to CUSTOM ORDER her Dark Samus Plush from a doll maker I knew. Anything Metroid related is either nonexistant, or just insanely rare.
Of course, with the direction Nintendo's taken Metroid the last 8 years, it's probably not surprising how little people appreciate Samus. She's turned into some blonde bimbo now, which is such a pity as she was a really good role model for girls back in the 90's. Well, she certainly was for my ex (we're still close).
ANYWAYS... I've noticed Nintendo's US side of preorders and exclusive content has been pretty lacking for quite a long time now. Remember the glory days of the SNES? Games that came with guides, preorder shirts, soundtracks.. ah, the days... The Super Power Club had some great stuff in it.
