Whether you’re an avid collector trying to figure out if you’re missing any releases for Micro Land or someone brand new and want to know what is out there, this guide will help.  Since I live in the United States, that is the focus, but if you live somewhere else and it is different, please let us know in the comments.  Also, if you have suggestions for edits to this guide, that is also much appreciated.  I will update this guide as things change.

Wave 1 – Wave 1 is impossible to find in retail with the now rare exception of Deluxe Playsets and sellers on third party sites like Amazon and Ebay are taking full advantage by selling almost everything from Wave 1 over the retail price.  The rarer figure sets are extremely difficult to find new-in-box and scalpers are trying to get people to pay nearly $100 for what was a $6 figure pack at release.  Please do not give in and spend this kind of money no matter how much you want Bowser.

Wave 2 – Since last update of this guide, Wave 2 playsets and figures have both disappeared from retail.  The playsets are now very expensive due to scalping, but thankfully figure packs are holding steady in price online.  Scalpers are selling playsets from $25-40 each and I believe these prices will continue to rise over time.  The rarer figure packs are likely to go up in price over time too, because the Larry Koopa pack has always been hard to find.

Wave 3 – Wind Waker Playsets are still available at retail, though all of the stores near me now have it on clearance and it will probably disappear from shelves soon.  In fact, these playsets are likely to be one of the least desirable sets for collectors because they have turned out to be “peg warmers” (meaning they sat around on store shelves for months because nobody wanted to buy them).  Once they sell through, these playsets will start to become hard to find.  The Deluxe Playsets are also warming many shelves and while initially rare, they were either overproduced or people lost their enthusiasm for the line by the time the playsets were finally well-stocked.  The New Super Mario Bros. 2 Gold figures have been widely available at retail and are relatively common, but they too are just about gone from all retailers.

Figure Packs – Bullet Bill / Koopa Troopa / Cheep Cheep – Common

Lakitu / Boo / Hammer Bro – Common

Mario / Super Mushroom / Goomba – Common

Playsets – Island Village with Link – Common

Ocean with Tetra – Common

Hyrule Castle with Gannondorf – Common

Deluxe Playsets – Outset Island – Common

King of Red Lions – Common

Wave 4 – The Wave 4 figures were relatively easy to find in retail once they finally came out.  I haven’t seen them in stores for quite some time, but it looks like the scalpers have not be able to jack up the prices so there either isn’t a lot of demand or the supply is still good.  Of the three, the Tetra, King of Hyrule, and Ganon pack seems to be a little rarer than the other two as discussed in my review.

Figure Packs – Link, Makar, Bokoblin – Common

Grandma, Aryll, and Link – Common

Tetra, King of Hyrule, and Ganon – Uncommon

Is This The End? – There have always been rumors of more Micro Land releases, perhaps the most tantalizing being Super Mario 3D World figures and playsets, but with the commercial failure of the Wind Waker playsets, I now believe that Micro Land is unfortunately over.  Jakks Pacific promised a new re-release of Wave 1 figures in blind bags/boxes several months ago, but that has not surfaced either and they have already ended their unsuccessful 6″ inch figure line.  If any new releases do finally surface, you can bet I will cover them here on NintendoFigures.com, but sadly, it looks like this toy line which had enormous potential will never reach it.
