I chose the posters, mainly for the Zelda one. At least i can hang my posters in a frame, the cards would be just kept untouched like a relic.

I guess you missed my awesome idea on how to display the cards?

[firehawk12]

Still trying to decide between the cards or the posters. It's too bad the only "good" poster is the SS one.

 

[Data West]

I picked the playing cards.

...We're never getting another statue, are we?

 

[jbug617]

I went with the posters. Those prizes overall were a let down.

 

[donny2112]

...We're never getting another statue, are we?

Wait for a year when a whole lot fewer people get platinum. A $2 difference makes a big deal when the # of people getting the prize goes way up. Therefore, no it won't this CN year, either.

 

[Drago]

Yeah, once there isn't a console/ambassador program to get a lot more people to platinum than usual, the prize quality should increase.

At least, I would hope so.

 

[Conrad Link]

So weird, I didn't register any points at all this year for the American Club Nintendo and yet I got sent an email telling me congratulations pick a prize. :\

What does your Coins & Status tab on the Accounts & Coins page of your account say for the 2012 year?

I have to check when I get home, thats how much I've used it in the last year (none at all lol) I don't even remember my login/password.

Because the 3DS is region locked and the PAL Wii being much better release wise for the last few, I've barely had any reason to import from America lately.

hadn't even thought of this...found the pillow for $30 on ebay, bought! that'll do.

 

[Hero of Legend]

If anyone is not at Platinum or Gold member status and is dying for any of the rewards, I'm still willing to sell them, I only have one taker for $20 for the cards, money's tight so if anyone is willing to offer more, that would be REALLY appreciated.

 

[garfep]

Sigh, I wish we got anything even close to this cool:

Check these ‪#MarioKart‬ mini trophies, now available in our ‪#ClubNintendo‬ Stars Catalogue! http://www.twitpic.com/a6ou5v http://bit.ly/N2cDWF

 

[iphys]

For some reason, buying trophies for yourself seems kind of weird, even if you are buying them with stars that you "earned" I guess.

 

[Gintoki]

I'd be all over those trophies if they were in the NA club nintendo.

 

[Grym]

Those are awesome!!


Why do I rarely think that when NA releases new club rewards

 

[zroid]

Sigh, I wish we got anything even close to this cool:

dat Animal Crossing bag

 

[Sammy Samusu]

You guys should stop bitching, I haver to choose between Metroid 2 and Mario vs Donkey Kong because I don't live in the US. ¬¬

*locks thread with imaginary mod powers*

 

[bumpkin]

Oh come on, NOA! We don't get the Super NES classic controller, Euro land does. Now they get those awesome Mario Kart trophy replicas? Bloody fucking hell!

 

[IrishNinja]

yeah, those trophies look pretty awesome, but...4" for 5000 coins? harsh

 

[isny]

So...who wants to trade one of those trophies for one of the North American Platinum Awards? =(

 

[Neuromancer]

When do intend to buys usually go up? Shouldn't there be one for New Super Mario Bros 2 already?

Sigh, I wish we got anything even close to this cool:

I am silently shaking in rage right now

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Sigh, I wish we got anything even close to this cool:

What...the...fuck....

NOA!!!!!!!!!

???? ;( like why though..why not noa?

 

[Shiggy]

If those were available in the US Club Nintendo, they should also cost an insane amount of coins. Just so that you get an impression of how shitty the European system is.

 

[Lothars]

If those were available in the US Club Nintendo, they should also cost an insane amount of coins. Just so that you get an impression of how shitty the European system is.

It's still worlds better than the US Club Nintendo, I would rather save up coins and use them on those than 99.9% of the things we have.

 

[zroid]

You all should know by now that it's not healthy to look up other Club N programs.

 

[JeTmAn81]

I am only Gold status, and I already have Majora's Mask and Mario Vs. DK, so I ended up picking Metroid II. S'cool, I owned it on the GB back in the day.

 

[DanteRavenkin]

If those were available in the US Club Nintendo, they should also cost an insane amount of coins. Just so that you get an impression of how shitty the European system is.

I'm not sure how many stars you get per game in Europe, but I did a quick comparison to what's available there vs. over here in NA, and it looks like the trophies would be worth about 800 coins apiece.

 

[VideoMan]

I'm not sure how many stars you get per game in Europe, but I did a quick comparison to what's available there vs. over here in NA, and it looks like the trophies would be worth about 800 coins apiece.

The conversion rate of CN stars to coins in roughly 5:1. For example, a $50 Wii game is worth 50 coins in the US and 250 stars in Europe.

So at that rate these would cost about 1000 coins in US CN currency.

The SNES controller would cost 1400 coins. The Zelda statue would cost 3000.

 

[iphys]

Yeah, but all the games cost you more in the first place over there.

 

[donny2112]

So at that rate these would cost about 1000 coins in US CN currency.

This would be a wonderful way to get the hoarders to register their stuff. I'd register lots of stuff I've been keeping to buy these. They look great!

 

[Candeldandel]

Sigh, I wish we got anything even close to this cool:

Whaaaat! These are so neat! Well, as lackluster as this years gifts were, maybe this is a sign of things to come? I can only wish. Wish really, really hard.

dat Animal Crossing bag

OMG that bag!! It's so cute I really wouldn't mind giving up a free gift at the end of the year if it meant we could just save up a ton of points for awesome bags and trophies...

 

[Stumpokapow]

When are they aiming to ship the cards? I'm moving next month and not sure which address to send it to.

 

[iphys]

They usually ship the elite rewards around November.

 

[isny]

When are they aiming to ship the cards? I'm moving next month and not sure which address to send it to.

Weren't you supposed to let me know when you found a place here? =p

 

[EvilMario]

When are they aiming to ship the cards? I'm moving next month and not sure which address to send it to.

'By the end of 2012' is what they told me when I placed my order. Probably okay to send them to your new address, or someone in the area you can pick them up from.

 

[Roto13]

When are they aiming to ship the cards? I'm moving next month and not sure which address to send it to.

The rewards have never shipped in the summer so you should give them your new address. Where are you moving, by the way?

 

[Clipper]

When are they aiming to ship the cards? I'm moving next month and not sure which address to send it to.

If you know the new address, use the new address. If you don't, use the old address and e-mail them when you do know it to get the address changed. They'll ship in October at the very earliest given past years.

Edit: Also Stump, read the OP

If you achieve Elite Status, you will get a choice of gifts to choose from in July that will be sent out at some time between October and December.

 

[Anth0ny]

fucking hell

 

[donny2112]

This is what a forwarding address is for.

Edit:
Unless the Canadian postal service doesn't forward mail ...

 

[zroid]

At 12x10cm, those trophies are a lot bigger than I would've expected. I guess they are pretty expensive.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Man NoA, why do you have to be so terrible?

 

[Ondore]

This is what a forwarding address is for.

Edit:

They do... but depending on when Stump's moving, it might be financially prohibitive.

 

[sorijealut]

Animal Crossing bag, MK7 trophies.

Europe. I hate you.

I'm just kidding. Please send some love to NOA unfortunates.

 

[Drago]

Sigh, I wish we got anything even close to this cool:

Would have been a cool Platinum award :/

 

[sorijealut]

I would now love to hear from some members who were so hellbent on being satisfied. NA prizes are "awesome"

 

[Diddy Kong]

Those trophies are awesome!! FFS NOA

 

[Drago]

Maybe NOA will redeem themselves with that Polo shirt and Kirby swag.

LOL
