Just got the puzzle and it's in a paper bag?! What did I do to deserve this?
WHAT THE FUCK? I could've saved 1050 coins by waiting? This is some bullshit!

Did the Zelda pouches get shipped out yet?

No. I actually just asked Nintendo about that the other day. They said that shipping was posted on the site as 3-5months after placing order... I placed mine on Feb 13... so it could theoretically show up between now and July 13...
The messenger bag doesn't come in a fucking dollar store paper pouch, so there's that.

Ordered the bag right at launch. I'm salty as fuck.

Times like this I'm glad I picked the Smash V2 posters instead of these... now what to do with these 900 coins...

Fingers crossed for digital game price drops
seems unlikely... i think they only dropped the physical reward prices because they're trying to get rid of the leftover stock before the site shuts down
Now Nintendo will have angry CN fans for dropping CN points needed.

Well shit. Spent 800 to get my friend the majoras mask puzzle and if I waited I could've gotten me one too.
I received my Majora puzzle today as well. It's pretty disappointing that NOA packaged it I n a bag that was then crushed through my mail slot.
Shiiiit. Fellow GAFer Volcynica pointed this out to me on Twitter:
Got damned fine print, Nintendoooooooooo!
Lol my friend got his puzzle last week and told me it came in a bag and I went on their website to see if there was anything that actually said that on their website and sure enough I found that and was laughing when I linked it to my friend.
Hmm... on another note. That coin price drop was unexpected. Well at least now I can get something a bit nicer with the 380 coins I have left. Not sure what I want though. How's the T-shirt or pouch?
I have both and wish I would have used the coins on something else. Both look like items from Dollar Tree. The bag is light and flimsy and the puzzle comes in a cheap, ugly bag. Once put together the puzzle might look ok. Just don't get the bag, it's a total piece of crap.

No way to cancel my 800 coins bag order I guess...? After seeing pictures of it, I didn't want it at all, and the price drop makes it even worse.

Yeah, just got my puzzle today too. Pretty bummed out seeing it's just in a bag.

This is incredibly annoying!
Everything I ordered (apart from the 2nd set of Smash posters) is still readily available and I would have had an extra 1100 coins to use on games if I'd waited until now.
What the hell, Nintendo...

I called Nintendo and started to talk to some dude about the coin reductions. He sounded very frustrated. They must have received a ton of calls.
I'm sure they have. I realize they don't want to get stuck with leftover reward stock, but dropping prices after pushing high-priced items with the "last chance" narrative* is a really bad way to do it. Dropping prices while crediting those who already blew large stacks of coins would've been much better and I think would've made everyone happier.

What a joke. Nintendo is pulling out all the stops this year to be on everyone's hate list.
Well, none of the 3DS bags has been shipped and the wording said 3-5 months, so..they still have until July.
from a PR standpoint, they should have just left the prices as-is and then after the site shuts down, given the leftover stuff away for free via a twitter contest
Yeah, this would've been much better. :/

What's funny is that we thought the long waiting time was for them to figure out how much stock to produce after getting all the orders in. And now they're overstocked?
I feel like it's just one last fuck you from Club Nintendo NOA to us. I can't think of any other explanation honestly. I got some good stuff and all from it, but part of me is almost glad this shitty program is finally in the ground. I can only hope the replacement isn't such a piece of shit. At the very least, I hope it can be as good/as worse as the other regions.
Strangely this makes me feel better.
Nintendo should've partnered with you instead of DeNA for its new loyalty program.
Write a quick email to Nintendo. You'll get a form letter, but it'll show up on their internal reports that they done fucked up.

Jigsaw or Pouch? My friend has around 420, but not sure which is more worth it.
I'd probably still make sure I got in before mid-June. Site's gonna die again just before it closes down.

FWIW, I have the red and blue pouches from way back and they're awesome. They aren't super protective, but the material is nice and soft, and they fit every/any 3DS model.
It took us three hours to solve the Fierce Deity puzzle. Is it that the both of us suck at doing puzzles or was it fairly hard?
The glow-in-the-dark effect was well done. I'm still undecided whether I should frame it or not. I just don't want to put it in that lousy paper bag...

So what did the people over at nintendo say about the price reduction on club nintendo

lol very accurate!
Sigh, Club Nintendo: screwing us around to the bitter end.
If they were so worried about having extra stock, could they not have just donated it to sick kids or something rather than infuriating their customers like this? They should have had a very good idea of how many rewards to order based on the initial orders anyway.

People would get mad if a lot of things went out of stock. CN can't win.

Well, good thing the only physical rewards I ever really ordered were things that had good uses, such as the game card cases and pouches. Slashed or no, those were well worth the prices.

The Mario & Luigi greeting cards have sold out.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
D'oh.. of course they did. They were the one thing that I was considering at the new lower cost, but I decided not to pull the trigger just yet in case they drop prices again (unlikely, but you never know). Silly me.
