So far, no. Europe had one, but not Japan, so at the moment it looks like the chances for no LE are rather high.

Which is a shame, as their first run Last Story release is quite nice.

Found a Fire Emblem for $35 last night! Upon closer inspection I saw that it was used, had no booklet, and was covered with stickers. What a shame. Left it on the shelf, bought a Genesis game instead.

That is so frustrating!

It's also really annoying when you think you might've tracked down a rare game at Gamestop only for them to tell you it is disc only. *sigh* On that same note, if you are interested in finding Fire Emblem, you might want to try the Gamestop online search.

EDIT: This was supposed to be a PM. Sorry!

(I was just gloating about how I picked up a copy of Fire Emblem (Wii) for exceptionally cheap at a pawn shop near Bone's house.)

It seems to me anything Atlus (that isn't SMT) or NIS becomes 'rare' really fast.
I'm guessing to look for Phantom Brave and Baroque.

Oops, I just sold both of those after getting them for $8.

I got extremely lucky with Metroid Prime Trilogy collection. I had no idea it would become such a pricey collectors item.

Since Atlus stuff usually ends up rare, people act like their games are hard-to-find and extra valuable whether they deserve it or not, just because it's published by Atlus. I doubt Radiant Historia would be such an expensive game had it been published by someone else, considering it got reprinted.

I almost bought that one, knowing it was becoming a collector's item, but I just couldn't convince myself that I would ever touch it again after putting it on my shelf.

I've been lucky with Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Calling, Metroid Prime Trilogy and Little King's Story. I got Fire Emblem for 10 bucks in mint condition, Calling for 20 bucks with shipping, Metroid Prime Trilogy for 40 bucks new and LKS for 15 bucks. I think Scarface is also becoming rare.

Seriously? That was one of 2006's top-selling titles.
