SInce the delay of SvC was announced, there have been a significant number of English Metal Slug 3's that have moved from the neostore.

Perhaps, those that were saving for SvC allocated their funds to Slug 3.

Not a bad idea. There were only 500 made.

I guess I'll pick mine up now.

The stock was sitting at around 20 or so for a few months. Over the last 2 weeks it trickled down to the teens, and over the last 2 days it dropped to 10.

So do you think the price will shoot up when it finally sells out? If only he still had some Japanese MS3's in stock... frown

Not a bad idea at all - considering that it's basically a known fact that MS3 rocks some serious ass, while SVCC is still sort of on the proving grounds.

I think you tipped everyone off Mike that they are missing one of the best Neo games, and when it sells out I have a feeling the price will jump. Its down to 5 copies now.

I believe that what you ask for is what you get.

Holy crap! There were like 19 of them as of this past weekend. As good as the game is though, I'm really suprised it lasted THIS long as an in-stock item. If you still want a new copy, get it now! Worth every penny IMHO.

I'm lucky I got my copy for $180 w/ buy it now on eBay this past spring.

I'll bet Shawn sells out by this weekend.

It's perfect example of selling method; just a little post about the fact that the number of MS3 is getting low, and after people will say "oh but perhaps I will miss it". I'm pretty sure that the last one could be sold for 350$.

Heh...Slug X still owns 3...and how proud I was to get Slug X Jap brand new for $400 back in June from a game store in person.

But if anyone doesn't have this, BUY NOW!

This was the last great SNK title to come out and you'd be a damn fool not to buy it if you don't have it.

ummm...I will and I have. It has been done. The last new US Slug 3 has been sold to yours truly.

Let the curtain draw and the guide value start to increase.

Congrats Rhioki...

Don't know why but it was kinda fun watching those sell so fast...I can't believe there were so many people sitting on the fence...was it really the delay of SvC:Chaos, or was it just the heads up that the stock was low?

to be frank, I was surprised at how low it was a day or so ago. I didn't even know there was a delay of SvCC unti I actually saw this thread. I had seen MS3 on here for the past 4 months or so and it had been in the uper 50's in stock, and I never really noticed the actual decline until it hit about 20. I would monitor off and on. I was actually looking through the neo store last night and saw the US NGH Ninja Master's which I was thinking about just straight up buying, but I had to make a trade off decision and I was monitoring it at work and low and behold, around lunch time today the game was on hold. The NM was just over-priced for me anyway, hence the apprehensiveness on my part, so I decided to buy the last MS3. Why the hell not?? I am a collector and most people on here are gamers so it would be difficult for me to buy a brand new US slug 3 at the same price if I didn't buy the last one. I already paid an inflated $20 from the $235 it was once at, but it beats not having it at all. Ahh well...on goes the quest for my complete US collection.
