Arrrgh! Where can I get NTSC Pikmin new?

[SG]

I'm currently replacing my GC titles for their American counterparts as I'll be getting a US Wii and all of the games I have are 480p capable in the US versions. I only ever get new and sealed copies because I am quite an obsessive perfectionist.

Pikmin 1 is giving me trouble. Whereas it's common as muck here - even the original non Player's Choice version on eBay for a reasonable price - it's nowhere to be found in the States.

I'd really like to get the non PC version, but if worst comes to worst I'll have to buy a PC version and track down a non PC 2nd hand copy just to swap the covers. But obviously I'd rather not.

I've checked eBay, I've checked Play Asia and Dealtime.com. Any more ideas guys?

(Please?)

Given Pikmin was out in the US a mere two months after the console launched there, your chances of finding a new one are practically zero. You are defo gonna have to get a used copy...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

How soon after launch did it release here the? eBay has loads of copies.

I can get you a mint sealed GC US copy!! (think it's PC though) It's from a friend of mine's nearby shop (Huuuge clearout, stops selling games).
? 12 + postage. I'll check for the price to the UK in the afternoon.

PM if still needed.
