Cool, I think that was one of the platinum rewards in NA during a certain year. No idea what the stars to coins conversion would be between EU and NA though so I couldn't say whether it was worth it.

Tales from my ass going around a few days ago was right about a 3000 star item...
Got 300 stars expiring. Might as well get these to keep stars from expiring for another year or so.
Edit:
So out of the Nintendo made playing cards are these high quality or medium (the hanufuda cards were medium...which is still good btw its just Nintenod makes better
).

I bought the soundtrack. I'm now poor.

I have 3700 stars, I could get this. These cards are pretty awesome. Hmmm.

We got those cards as part of the platinum gifts. I took it out once, instagramed it and put it back. Plus, they have some sorta glitter thing on them which comes off easily if you handle them too much.

It's less than half a cm smaller in width than a standard playing card

I most likely wouldn't play with them, but 3k seems pretty cheap. I might get this later, I think some of my codes are already dying in the next year or so anyway.

Measurements are probably 58mm*89mm, most the cards on here are that
Are they NAP600, 800 or 1000 quality though? In terms of pricing though I'd hope for 1000 and the glitter to add 50% are the medium Hanufuda cards are around 1500Yen and those were less stars.

That is the point, they don't want to have to supply any Zelda statures, Nintendog kennels or one of 300 GBA SP bundles to facillitate people having more than that...
I'll pass. Not planning to play with the cards, and I'd rather have the more traditional Hanafuda set (put them back up please).
Still sitting on 9700 stars. Would've grabbed the Pikmin plushies but missed out. I'd really love a different new Game & Watch game. Ball just doesn't cut it. Prefer Donkey Kong Jr, Octopus, Parachute, Turtle Bridge.

They look really hard to read.
Three THOUSAND stars?
That's honestly around $2000 of Nintendo product for a set of cards.
In the UK you get 250 stars per game and about 1000 or so for a 3DS and Wii U each. It's different in the UK.
Edit: 750 for 3DS and 1000 for a Wii U.

European Club Nintendo... it's actually approx £480 (250 stars per game at an average of £35 per game)

Around 12 retail games. That you could have bought for cheap at discounted prices. So there is not really a way to determine how much you need to spend before being able to get those.
Also, you can get extra Stars by answering surveys, and those come for free.
Not to mention that sometimes, when you buy games on the eShop (3DS at least) they give you double the amount of stars. But yeah... Nothing from the Nintendo Club comes for cheap.

Hm, nice but could they please release more OSTs in Europe?

It's not just "sometimes", it's all retail games bought digitally that net you 500 stars (250 bonus stars).
Heh, more? There only was one soundtrack there (the Mario one). Meanwhile, in Japan....

I assumed it only applied to first party games; not third party ones (hard to remember that these mostly come with points these days).
Yup, all retail games apply, even those that don't have the x2 sign on the eShop. I got the bonus for downloading Senran Kagura, for example.
So basically, that means those cards are only worth 6 retail games on the eShop
I wish they also had that double-stars thing going on for Wii U games, too.
If only. These would have been cooler...
Those have been in the European store for 2 years, though, and weren't really expensive, either. If you wanted those, but didn't have a chance to get them, you really had enough chances.
