Want to take a break from playing Mario Kart DS online? Then play it offline, and on the floor. And by "play Mario Kart" we mean "run Mario into the wall over and over again until he gets lost under your dresser." Mario Kart rules are somewhat more lax in the amateur "not actually playing the real game" circuit, you see.Amazon seller Toyzz has a full set of Mario Kart DS pull-back race cars for $24.99. It includes Mario, Yoshi, Bowser, Wario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong. And you don't even have to go back in time to when these were commercially available, fly to Japan, and try your luck in UFO catchers.
[Thanks, Zack!]

First the dresser takes the magic 8 ball, and now Mario. Oh the humanity! Won't somebody please think of the children.

Hurray! Now what I paid 10.00 for UFO Catchers is now available in an overpriced bundle! Hurray!

GAME stores in the UK stock remote controled Mario Kart cars. They're £10 a pop (about $20) but pretty cool.
I, myself got a pull-back-and-go Mario Kart 64 'ghost Mario' toy myself, which takes pride of place upon my retro-TV in which all my retro consoles are hooked up to. It shoots ghosts. It's awesome.

Is it me or does Joystiq(no offense) post news that makes one scratches his/her head questioning if such a post is news worthy? I mean this is as if I stumbled on ebay, find a particular seller selling some video game item that isn't rare or whatever, and post it as news.

I got the Luigi figure while I was in Japan. It actually came out of one of the gashapon machines.
