Where can I buy a backlit GBA SP?

[Decider-VT]

The title says it all, really- I'd been procrastinating over buying a backlit Graphite SP from VG+ and they seem to have disappeared! I had a look through the inventories of the recommended online importers (all out of stock), searched the forum and checked eBay, although the latter seems to have a suspicious number of them listed in Hong Kong and I'm wary of being ripped off with a fake.

Can anybody help me find a new one? I don't want to miss the boat and I'm not really interested in the Micro for my GBA fix on the bus. I also have a DS/DS Lite but I prefer the smaller size of the SP for my GBA gaming.

Apologies for the bump but I'm still quite curious about this as VG+ seem to believe that the backlit graphite SP is now discontinued. I can find plenty of them on eBay but I'm still not sure of whether or not the SPs being sold from Hong Kong (for wildly varying prices) are genuine and most of the US sellers won't ship internationally. I'd hate to spend money on a dud unit, clone or a misleadingly advertised frontlit unit. Has anybody here bought from those sellers?

I'd be grateful if anybody could help!

They are still relatively easy to find here in Canada. I could arrange one for you for a small fee above item cost+postage of 10 pound or so.

Bizarrely, they're still selling the original GBA in branches of Woolworths near me.

lol probably still full price, Woolworths the shops are always out of touch when I look in

I was hoping to pick one up 2nd hand. £50 + import tax + delivery seems a bit steep for a GBA.

Thanks for thinking of me though! Much appreciated. When you get bored of yours, I'll have it

So were these never brought into the UK?

Looking for a second one.

Never released in the uk, america and canada only afaik.

japan, too?

They were easy to get a year or two back - but much harder now.

I had to resort to a 2ndHand one from America - which cost me ?40 all together.

The brightness and colours are really fantastic. If you enjoy GBA games - I highly recommend one.

Got mine today says on the box 'for sale in taiwan only' so my above post was wrong. Dunno about Japan?
