Same thing with SMW for me. Shows up in registered games but no stars.
Nintendo's been emailing another Monster Hunter survey (50 stars). This one focuses a lot on the difficulties you had in the game and where you went to for help.
You currently get no stars for purchasing VC games on 3DS, it must be the same for WiiU.

Just a note the Mario Kart trophies have been taken off the catalogue, UK at least.
Awesome, I only had to wait ten days for my SNES controller!

Not surprised. They were broke. Didn't take any stars, or get added to your treasures.
Same thing happened to mine
It was only packaged in a grey plastic bag.I contacted Nintendo UK about it and they said:-
"we are unable to replace the item for a damaged box. If the item itself is damaged or faulty them please let us know and we will look into the matter further."
Not very pleased, especially considering you can only get this item from the Stars Catalogue.
I think this may be to do with Stars Catalogue items now being sent from the UK. Previously all my items were sent from Nintendo Germany, and they would often be sent in a box sealed with security tape - but now they seem to be sent from Nintendo UK directly, and their 'grey plastic bag' packaging offers no protection

Well they will be if they are sent in a grey plastic bag
I guess now you have to consider, am I buying the box or the item inside. Sure you shouldn't have to make the comprimise...

That's disappointing to hear. Considering it's directly from Nintendo, I expected a bit better quality control. When shipping items like that, it should always be cardboard on cardboard. Jiffy bags offer NO protection at all, I wouldn't even ship plastic cases in those things unless I covered the item in bubble wrap.

I'm in the UK, but my stuff usually comes from Germany. UK branch is handling them now?

My shoelaces came from CodeStorm.
It seems to be a relatively recent change, it was mentioned in this thread a couple of months ago:-

Might just be the UK Stars Catalogue, and even then I guess it might not apply to every item (Probably depends on stock/inventory levels in Germany and UK)
The annoying thing is they didnt even use a jiffy bag, it was literally just a thin grey self-seal plastic mailing bag :/
Nintendo must be aware that this is abit of a 'collectors item', so it really should be packaged accordingly.
Well the last time I received something was a few months ago too. But I recently ordered the SNES controller too, so I guess we'll see where that one gets sent from.

Mario kart trophies are back and are taking stars now, so if you want them, you probably need to put an order in again.
Ordered the Mushroom one... again!

Anyone from the UK can help me with forwarding Club Nintendo items? The person that used to help me can't do it anymore, and I got a bunch of stars than need to be spent. Thanks in advance.

They sent me one recently, the box is fucked because it came in the exact same bag. I feel bad for those who want to preserve it for collection purposes and received a ripped box, but let's be honest, the thing is just too much fun to use.

5000 stars for a 12x7cm trophy sounds a little crazy to me.
Thanks for the update. I've now re-ordered the mushroom trophy. Lets just hope these don't get sent in mailing bags like the SNES controllers.
woo and indeed hoo

I'll help if no-one else has come forth. PM me if so.

I received an email from Club Nintendo this morning confirming that previous Mushroom/Banana trophy orders have been cancelled and that you have to re-order them. It seems to be fixed now - the stars have gone from my account this time.
I orderd the Mushroom cup - it should look awesome with my Leaf, Special and Shell Cups - will need to scour ebay for Banana!

Man, I got pretty burned with Club Nintendo.
I had around 5400 stars, of which around 800 were to expire at the end of May. I saw the new Mario Kart cup and I decided to order that one, last week ago.
I got this email minutes ago (Google Translated):
Now I log in to my account to order it and I only have 4450 stars in my account. Technical malfunction indeed :/. They also said no stars were to expire by the end of April, so I'd be pretty pissed if the malfunction is that they did expire.
What do to now, I want my stars back, but I can't prove anything

You should have gotten an email for the first order which didnt go through? Try sending that as proof?Man, I got pretty burned with Club Nintendo.

It acts as a classic controller without analogue sticks so plugs into a Wii remote. So its fine. In fact you can use it at the same time as the Gamepad and control the game using either (or IIRC, both).
Usually by the time I buy any Nintendo games from there, the points will have expired already. Recent games are too expensive in Cex. Don't envy your job either, the people that work at my nearest store are always running around like crazy in the back.

Odd, I even registered some Gamecube games last week. Not sure why yours might have expired. As for CeX It's not at all bad, weekdays are really relaxed, chat with customers and workmates about games and have a laugh. It's only weekends 11-3 that are really busy. Though iIdo work in a town store, not one in a city centre and that could make a lot of difference.

Most GameCube games IIRC didn't have an expiry date for the codes till the later released titles. I think the codes in the game are now valid for 2 years till you can't enter it.
On the flip side, 99% of the Nintendo Games I've bought from CEX have Club Nintendo Points still with them. Makes for a really nice surprise. Pokémon Conquest, Rhythm Heaven, Pokémon Rumble Blast, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Mario and Luigi Partners in Time. So many cheap points!
Yeah, some of those Gamecube games don't have expiry dates. According to club nintendo, codes for newer titles are valid for 3.5 years. "Registration cards for Nintendo games expire three and a half years after the product first becomes available at retail." Mine is in the city, so it's never too quiet when I'm in. Will need to go back soon and use up my store credit.

It's really surprising how many people don't use the codes in their games. We often get unused online passes, I even got every Halo 4 preorder armour permutation this way. Only once has anyone ever asked if the club Nintendo points specifically were with the game and I threw a bunch of unused codes we had in for him as I knew he cared, also as they were games I had already registered and you can only do each game once.

I'd be interested in a 3ds code valid for the 4x3 promo that's not Luigi or Castlevania, which I already have. Let me know.
You can register the same game twice. I got Luigi for free after entering 2 MH and 1 FE code.
Really? I had no idea and I so happens to have two FE:A codes.. I'll try it out.

AFAIK the only way you can get two codes would be through digital download and buying the game through retail =/, but we shall see if the 2 Fire Emblem codes work for MicH...
