Club Nintendo Platinum Rewards suck ass this year...

I struggled to hit it this year and for this?

Wow. How can a Nintendo lover like myself consistently find himself getting more and MOAR PISSED OFF.

Yeah I'm a little pissed. No where near as nice as the hat or statue. Oh well pins ordered. And finished up my post plays today since the reset and picked up game and watch ball. Ill be pissed when a better high ticket item gets added lol.

you kn ow Im thinking...You know what would have been a better platinum prize this year? Those Wii PLay bundles they sent to all you Big coin hoarders. Wonder if the cost of that messed with the budget for the real platinum prize.

Doubtful. Like I said earlier, the remotes they sent were old ones without wiimotin plus, it was a game that undersold badly, and a $25 coupon from... DOMINOES the worst pizza ever. If that fucked with their budget... the budget wasnt much to speak of! lol

You know what else would have been a cool platinum prize? An exclusive game! Or a kick in the balls!

Really? This is what we get this time? .........really? .................well this is........pathetic!

you know it wouldnt be half bad if Ninty didnt have the damn Copyright badge over an 8th of every pin. lol.

Being in a band- I know how much these buttons cost. Literally, its about $5 per set. Seriously. We got hosed. I sent them an email bitching them out already. XD

edit: Got platinum status for the new year already... muwahahahahahaha

Nice! At least I became a Gold member already. Needed 260 coins to go.

Pins? The prizes have gone downhill each year but I bet I'll be giddy in December when that package shows up. Instead of a kick in the balls, stick each of these pins in your balls. That's what Nintendo wants you to do. When I get back on club.nintendo I should be at Platinum or at least Gold status when I register everything and take all the post play surverys.

Why not a Luigi hat? I'd even accept a Peach crown. And that calendar. LOL. That is the EXACT same calendar that was offered Japan a year ago, except the year of course. Same pictures.

That's $5 more than Nintendo Australia spends on us The pins are kinda cool anyway. If you don't want it ZeldAnTales send it to me

@Streex
It says at the bottom of the calendar picture that the image shown is the 2011 one and the 2012 one will have all new artwork.

The pins are kinda cool, keyword: KINDA. Compared to the amazing statue I got last year, these pins are fucking worthless.

I have never chosen the calendar before (last year I got two statues instead of a statue and a calendar (one to open and display, one to leave in the UPS box NEVER to open lol)) but this year it was an easy choice: two sets of worthless shitty pins or shitty pins and a decent calendar that will lose any use or value in 12 months. Fan-fubu-tastic. :\

I forgot about that. Big oversight by me. It just got a little bit cooler then. I have the current club.nintendo calendar purchased from eBay and for some reason thought that they would try to dump a dated calendar on America this year.

Guess who else is already Platinum status for 2012? Streex doggg woo woo! Just call us the Platinum Boyz.

Still have a Mario Sports Mix registration that I'm holding onto for 2013. I'm also feeling like Wario sitting on 1600 coins.

...and I was excited about being platinum.

At any rate, I'll be platinum again once I register everything I've bought over the last year- which includes two 3DS.

Yeah I'm sitting on 2 gs.

I got my pins in the mail a few days ago. Just as shitty as I expected. Kinda pissed at how they shipped, bubble mailer for a cardboard box? Its dinged to hell.

Yes I got that one as well for the Mario Pins which sucks sh*t from being a Platinum members. But hey, at least I only wear them for becoming a bad a** person.

Mine will arrive any day now. You know- collectable metal pins I could understand... but mini button pins? Like the kind you can make yourself with a cheap pin maker? How tasteless!

It really was a lame gift. Pretty sorry shipping indeed, Triz. Luckily mine was unscathed.

Mine came in good condition as well. There's nothing worse than damage to a gift that's already crappy.

I used some of them to decorate my 3DS case. Anyone keeping theirs sealed in the hopes that their value goes up? Perhaps in 50 years they'll be worth $10! (Though only due to massive inflation.)

I am not opening mine. Nor have I opened most of my reward stuffs.

I got mine and it was in good condish. Took off the plastic but I'm thinking of keeping the pins in the boxes. I do like your idea Antilles of decorating your 3DS case. If I can think of a cool way to display them I'll take them out.
