Shadow, I was at the Leeds store last week, and they had the Sheik statue in the glass cabinet for £29.99 (can you possibly call them?) I went with friends, also LukeLee who bought me the Samus Statue (Which rests nicely on my unit) was with me at the time and another friend. A great place to shop, I need to get over there again at some point. I tried to pick up the OOT manga while I was there, but only found volume 2! ..however I did manage to get this instead: I am not certain, but LukeLee has also said he has put in an order for the Phazon Suit Samus statue..which I am very happy about. I can also confirm that play.com are selling the Phazon Suit Samus for £89.99 might be worth checking it out.

Currently, there is a Metroid marathon going on, where people are playing Metroid games for 72 hours straight, trying to raise money for charity. So far they've raised over $2000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The marathon is streamed live from their website at: http://www.thespeedgamers.blogspot.com/ There is also a chatroom where you can post and ask questions, or just chat to other fans. There are also prizes given out for people who donate, the grand prize is a signed copy of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption from Retro studios who have kindly offered the prize. For more information, check out the website and offer your support.

It was actually the most successful marathon they've done. The Mario one that you mentioned was by someone else. To be fair, it doesn't matter how much they raised. They were dedicated enough to do it for a deserving charity, that was helping children with cancer. Congrats to them anyway

I just bought this t-shirt last week, unfortunately it was a size too big and I had to take it back. I'm looking for a medium. I've wanted it for so long though, it's an awesome t-shirt. I already have a few from Gamestation, but i'm always looking for a few more!

Gah! You found me! Well, yes but regardless of how much money you have i'm not worth you spending that much on me and i've done nothing special to deserve such a gift. But no way am I allowing you to buy anyone else one =P

I already have the Varia Suit, but my friend wants to buy me the Phazon Suit. As much as I would love this (so much words can't describe) there is no way i'm going to let him pay that much on me.

I think I need some tissues.. That is AWESOME! The Phazon suit is my favourite suit from the Metroid series, I already have the Varia Suit, and as much as I love it, this is beyond awesome.

I would post links or pics to mine but I don't have 10 posts yet. However if you look at the pics LukeLee posted a few posts up, that's my model anyway. Heh, I dust it every few days, I think i'm in love with it xD

I am the lucky friend that received this awesome Samus figure from LukeLee. It was a truly awesome gift, he actually came to visit me and brought it with him. At first I asked what was in the bag, he said a smoke machine... We went to a cafe and then he said that the gift was really for me...I wondered why the hell he had bought me a smoke machine, but then I took off the bag covering the gift and I was shocked to see Metroid/Samus on the box and I knew straight away what it was! The figure now rests with pride in my room on top of a unit. I look over to it and realise that I have an amazing friend, someone that would go through so much trouble to get me the most awesome gift, just because he wants to make a friend happy. LukeLee is by far the most thoughtful and generious person I have ever met. He had known me just a few months before he ordered this, he went through so much trouble to get it but stuck with it. Two and a half years later, we are still good friends and I think we always will be. As a huge Metroid fan, this was the ultimate gift, and he knew that, hence why he wanted to get it for me. The sad thing is I don't think I could ever top this gift, I really want to get him something special. But anyway I will make it clear again, LukeLee is the most thoughtful person I have ever met, my best friend.

This game is really amazing! The introduction of Bikes and the Wii wheel is a good one. Love this game so much!
