Hi mate,

Your best bet for rare items is the Yahoo Japan auctions. There are some good middleman sites explained fully in this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1982

Those are http://www.rinkya.com/ and http://www.japanauctioncenter.com/.

I'm from the U.K. so other sites I can recommend are:

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/ - UK Game retailers, some non-rare items which are cheaper than on other sites/shops.

http://konamistyle.theproducers.co.uk/index.asp - Konami Style UK - for elsewhere, just google 'Konami Style'

http://www.play-asia.com/

http://www.yesasia.com/

There's others as well but these sites should give you a bit of a head start!

If you are new to collecting and wish to get into it big time, watch out, quote "it's addictive!". But also, you might want to consider the Complete Metal Gear Solid Graphic Novel which is slowly getting rarer, and the PSP Digital Graphic Novel has just been restocked at play.com and konami style Uk, you might wanna snap them up quickly cos they've been out of stock for a while up until recently. Just my advice though, I'm new myself and others will probably point you to different sites and offer better advice.
