I'd say they're uncommon and definitely worth it. That's a good price for a complete one.

Third party. There are two that look essentially the same. They're called Competition Pro and Honeybee. Same controller, just two different companies. Not sure of the story behind it, but it would be interesting to know. Probably just a company name change or one of them bought the controller rights off the other. HOLY faeces, wait a second! Is that the version you bought! That would then be a verified Portugese release! Nice! THAT, I would say, is rare, though the variant is minor. Too bad they didn't package it in the purple line design.

Too bad they didn't package it in the purple line design. It's just a yellow sticker. All the SMS games in portugal had a yellow sticker. But the purple released games have the smae yellow thing except its printed on. If i'm wrong about this WKK pad and that yellow portuguese circle is printed on the box then very well done! ;D

Looks like it's in good condition. I got one a bit cheaper, but it was dirt condition.

If that Portugese seal of quality on the box is a part of the box and not a sticker you have a nice find, so I'd say perhaps fairly scarce.

That's the regular one, not too hard to find, but still worth it if you want a fine infared set to play with on the SMS.

Yeah, I'd say. rupert, do you happen to know or have an idea of what other systems and/or accessories got the Portugese sticker?
