sad I missed out on the gold nunchuk, but 900 coins was too much for me.
I wasn't planning to resell
You do know you can just buy a gold nunchuk
It may be pricey but it's better than nothing

What would you have spent it on, just out of curiosity? It's not like we have the cool towels or polo shirts...or anything really good, even.
Damn that's terrible. I love how that packaging just screams 'you're a valued club nintendo member'.
The shitty part is I registered enough codes up to like 800, so I would be able to use the post-play surveys and NSMB2 code to claim the prize. 3 more freaking days...
Now I'm nearly platinum, my plan for this year to not register anything in advance is completely ruined, and I'm not even getting the nunchuk to show for it. :|

There's always 6 150-coin games.

I think they'll bring it back for one more run.
Lasted not even a week or has it been that long already?

Exactly one week, I think.

I think thats the shortest any item has been on there for?
Either way, they brought back the card case and the "Limited Quantity" Zelda posters.
So heres hoping they bring this back to give those who didn't get it one more chance.
By the way, still loving that people like you are getting burned by this. Totally makes up for the fact that I spent all of my coins right before they added it to the rewards.
Thou art wise
I'm just going to sit around moping until maybe they bring it back Zelda posters-style

Ha, and that's exactly what I was planning to do, too.
But I am bummed I can't get it now. NSMB2 would've pushed me over 900.
The mystery boxes were up for only a few hours, so no.

WTF!!!
How was I supposed to earn 650 coins in a week? HOW NOA HOW????
NOA!!!!!!!!!!!!
It should've atleast been up for a year. I mean give someone a chance to save up some damn coins.
NOA...Reggie...
At least I got the handheld cards. That was worth the coins and even if I would've waited I still wouldn't have enough coins for the nunchuck.
The handheld cards are awesome. Yall should get it just to have.
Hope I can buy the nunhcuk sometime next year. My money is already spent this year.

I mostly like getting games or other little trinkets.
So far I've gotten....
Game and Watch Collection
Game and Watch Collection 2

messenger bag
3ds game card case
red drawstring pouch
blue drawstring pouch
Zelda poster set
Silver DS gamecard case (came with a nice metal stylus)
Xevious 3D
3D Classics Urban Champion (SUCH a waste of 150 coins, ugh)
Mario's Picross VC
Bonsai Barber
I like the gold nunchuk, but I already have four nunchuks anyway. If I didn't have four nunchuks, I probably would have splurged on the 900 coins.
What I really wanted was the hanafuda cards, but I never bothered getting them, and now they're gone.
I've thought about getting the History of Handhelds cards, but they are already out of date, with the 3DSXL.

Yea, but those were just items nobody wanted grouped up. That doesn't really count lol.

Damn it, and I just got back from the video store with a shitload of codes...
I just got mine as well. It's gonna go nice with my Gold Controller.

I hope Nintendo notices how fast prizes sell out when they're actually good. Might lead to better prizes in the future. At least ones on the level of Japan's.
I didn't get it in the first hour. I downloaded the game at midnight and checked Club Nintendo at 1:30 before I went to bed but it wasn't up yet.
You weren't Platinum on July 1st? Slacker.
Even Nintendo thought 900 coins was a rip off, but people bought it anyway.
how much was the XL worth? 160 or 200? something in between?
they will retroactively make 900 a "special introductory price"
the second run will be for 1000 coins

Thank Christ - looks like the Hanafuda cards are going to return.
I had no interest in a tacky looking gold nunchuck anyway.

Check your To Do list. It's a known glitch where it might say it's already been registered before but it shows up as registered on your account anyway. This happened with me and Mario Party 9.
Sometimes you have to wait a bit for it to update in the system though, because it happened to me with a game I had intended to buy, and right after, I could still see it at the end of my list as needing to be registered and prompting me for the code again, and it was only when I logged in again later that the registration survey was at the start of my to-do list.
Thanks guys, it seems like this was the same problem.. I did the Intend-to-Buy survey for NSMB2 too.
I logged out, waited awhile, and logged back in, and the registration survey is on my To-Do list. Yay!
Edit: Kirby's Dream Collection is up for Intend-to-Buy. Hope y'all are excited for it
Thank you. I wish they would show ITB games on the front page when you log in instead of having to click Earn Coins first.Edit: Kirby's Dream Collection is up for Intend-to-Buy. Hope y'all are excited for it

I'm hyped. Especially now that I know I can use the $20 Future Shop XL coupon on it! ^_^

Sweet if true! I want to get a second set so I can open one up and check 'em out. Does it come with instructions on how to play the game?
Yeah. Though there's more than one game you can play with them if you care to learn.
