My lovely wife surprised me this past Christmas with a Nintendo product I had not seen before. Super Mario Collector pins. Apparently this was a product that was released late last fall by PowerA, and distributed to Walmart, GameStop, Target and other retailers. Now besides Target, I personally have not seen these anywhere else in stores. When doing a lookup on GameStop.com, it seems that only select stores are carrying these, not all. Target seemed to have an ample supply, so I decided to pick a couple more up to match the Luigi that I received for Christmas.

Retailing for $4.99 each, it is random what pin you will receive, as this is another "blind box/bag" product. As far as I know each pin has equal rarity, with the exception of the elusive Gold Mario pin which you only have a 1-in-48 chance of receiving. There are 12 pins in every box, which I assume means that there are 4 boxes in a case (48 pins) with only one Gold Mario pin per case. A Gold Mario pin can be picked up for around $55.00 at the time of this posting on eBay if you don't want to hunt for them.
