Gamecube Controllers still in production?

With Brawl, there are many different controller set ups. Even with the diversity, some people still find the GC controller a suitable and familiar choice. So I have to ask...Are the official nintendo GC controllers still being made? If so are they all in platinum or do they actually come in different colors?

I believe they are still being made... I wouldn't see why they would stop it, but the production probably decreased.

I believe first-party Nintendo ones have stopped, seeing as they stopped producing Gamecubes, however I was just at my local store and saw plenty of third-party ones for very cheap.

The Wavebird has been discontinued but the wired controllers are still in production. As for colors, I am not sure. I've only seen the platinum wired controllers in retail stores lately.

3rd party controllers just look a bit cheap and not as durable. I've never felt like testing one out though. The reason why I ask is I want to get another controller for brawl (or even for melee...). However, I don't want the platinum one that everyone else has....
