NCSX has the first three .S sets - not these yet, though.

There is a shop in North Seattle, www.kicks-hobby.com, that sells the .S sets. I've purchased the Mario, Luigi and Link sets, plus they have Pac Man, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Balloon Fight, and Ice Climber.

The Bubble Bobble one is hot sex, I need that now.

I bought a pack of these from EBay and a reseller (www.pumiko.de) and started to make custom motives:
