I know this isn't Wii-lated (sorry) but I thought i'd seek help here for my Nintendo problem.

I tried to buy a GB micro but there seems to be hardly any in stock anywhere here in the UK. Does anyone know of a reason for this? Any tips on where to buy?

Thanks, guys.

To answer my own question: Apparently the Micro had appalling sales and the SP had great sales so they withdrew the Micro from the UK market but it still sells in Japan and in the States.
I bought a pre-owned, pink Micro today for £45 and i'm pleased with it - it's so much prettier and more convnient than the SP. Surprising how it didn't sell well.

Oh no :(

My OH bought me a brand new pink one from our local Comet last Tuesday (20th) for £30! We did go in on the Monday and it was £40... strange that the price went down so much over night but hey ho!

It's so tiny, I really like it. Bought a pre-owned Wario Ware game from GAME but it was faulty now i'm struggling to find a replacement :(

I bought one t'other day for £45 used but it had a dead pixel so i'm going to take it back and i bought a new pink one off of ebay for £23 or something so i'm pretty chuffed :)
Still surprised it was taken out of our market.

Yeah i'm shocked it came off the market so quick. I want to get one and saw a second hand pink one last week £35. I didn't like the colour, but I think i'll buy the next one i find.

I didn't like the pink one either at first and the box makes it look pretty girly but it's actually shockingly cool. I think so anyway, or maybe i'm in denial...

Got one! Dark blue, pre-owned, no box just charger £36 from cex.
I bought Lego Star Wars 2 aswell. All good fun.
I thought the micro was like the size of a matchbox.
Its more like the size of a sony phone. nice though

UPDATE: just got Chuchu Rocket, thinking it was something else,was i after kiri kiri something?
Great little puzzle game this. £7new in Gamestation. Crazy Japanese gamemakers. Anymore oddball GB titles?
