Club Nintendo (Europe): Captain Toad Figurine Lamp now available

Shit, I have 5300 stars but my Bayo 2, Smash 4 and Other M codes were 'expired'. So basically there is no way to get this anymore.

Can't get the Kart trophies either if they come up because I lose 750 stars at the end of the month. :(
 
I always wanted one of the mk7 trophies, specially the lightning one, too bad they were never available in America, dammit noa!

Even if they say they're expired, did you try registering them? As has been discussed in the club nintendo UK/EU thread, those don't always coincidence with them actually having expired.

Yeah, I tried them all. Tropical Freeze actually worked, but the others didn't. After filling the codes it literally said they were expired. Pretty lame considering some of these games came out late last year. I should have registered them right away. :/
 
Tempting since I do have 6300 stars left, but I really want to hold out in case those gamecard cases return as I'd rather have that than some Toad lamp.

Hah, that worked, thanks!

Edit: Will save my stars for the Goodbye Coin, which will likely be 1500. That leaves me with 4500 which probably won't be enough for a Mario Kart trophy.
 
That's so cool, but I can't afford it :(

Because of this thread though I logged into my account to find out that 2000 of my points expire at the end of June which was lucky, so thanks for that. Better get spending.
 
If anyone is within 250 of getting it and hasn't registered Persona Q, PM me. First come, first served!

(Or a 1:1 trade with any dupe you might have, since I've just realised I'll be a little short of a nice round 3000 when this is done)
 
They tell you to use up your stars, they remove any other way to get more and then they add this. NoE is so backwards.
 
I have 4650 stars and anything I want is always too many, while everything available is just trash. I am stuck playing the waiting game until just before September I guess.

That's incorrect.
You can still register quite a lot of games. I must have gotten around 7000 or 8000 stars since march.

What is silly is that they don't give you stars for digital downloads though. Stopped me from buying Metroid Prime Trilogy when it was on sale last weekend.

lol at people still thinking NoE Club Nintendo was good. Grass is always greener...

It was good. Not great because the prices were admittedly a bit high, but I got plenty of free physical stuff for games I would have bought anyway. I certainly prefer it to digital downloads, and I already miss getting the codes with new games.
 
Are we seriously getting a new "Club Nintendo"? I thought they were done with that shit, hence ending the service in the first place.

Wish NoA coulda gotten physical shit at the end of their run. Instead here's more free games we've already offered before!

smh I always wanted that Luigi statue. I'd fucking buy it with real money. WHY DO YOU HATE MONEY NINTENDO ):

I want a Luigi's mansion amiibo lmao

Obviously anything we can say is speculation, but I doubt it. At least, not anything I can imagine that still gives out free physical items. Maybe a similar service that only gives out download codes for repeat buyers, but even that seems unlikely to me.
 
Between this, New 3DS non-XLs/faceplates, Yarn Yoshi, and Amiibo overall availability, European Nintendo fans can never, ever claim they have it worse than North Americans ever again.

Ever.

NoA is literally the worst.
 
Hahah NOA is crap. Fuck Reggie. For once defenders can't argue that he has no control over these kinds of things. If nothing else, he has control over this kind of stuff for the American region.

I hope NA at least gets a "Club Nintendo Fuck You Good Riddance Coin"

Yeah, see, I think it's better if we just hope for nothing, lol. Then we won't be disappointed when we get nothing. :B

But hey, if they offer something that would be nice.
 
Sweet, managed to nab it, 3k stars and a pile of unused codes lying around ready for the MK8 soundtrack now and I'm all done with Club Nintendo.
 
okay so we all hate NOA. Iwata hates the US. Reggie is incompetent. EU is better than US. Thats some fabulous shit on the EU club, I am jelly beyond belief. Anything else?

When do the announce the new programs? Anyone have a guess? None of the purchases I am making now are going to count for anything.

By the way the Nintendo Club is still better than any thing Sony or MS ever gave me for buying there stuff. Oh yeah. I like Bill Trinen.
 
I see things like this, and wonder why I still get into arguments with people from EU on GAF that always tell me how they never get anything compared to NA over there. -_-
 
Those Mario Kart trophies are SO FUCKING COOL.

This is one thing I will NEVER understand about Nintendo. They'll make these really brilliantly well made toys or plushies, that their fans would absolutely pay for, and what do they do? They ONLY sell them in ONE store in the U.S., they have NO online store, or they tie them behind point clubs.

Like... I've been to the NY Nintendo Store. There is incredible merchandise there. Shirts, hats, pins, key chains, then a TON of Mario plushies, like an entire FLOOR dedicated to Pokemon plushies.

Why can't I buy those in other stores? Nintendo wants them exclusive? Fine. THEN SELL THEM ONLINE!!!

*flips a table*

Unless you own the disc version, that's not a good reason to not buy one of the best collections ever.
 
Saw this, logged into my Australian Club Nintendo account to see how many stars I had (I've never used it and didn't even register everything I bought). Had 6300 so I ordered this since I may as well use them before it closes.

Like seriously. It's baffling. Thank god that TPC is pretty much it's own thing that isn't beholden to Nintendo and as such (though it took longer than it should have, but all the same) eventually got around to making PokemonCenter.com, which has all kinds of awesome shit on it (seriously, take the time to browse through it if you never have before or haven't been on it since it started up--all kinds of stuff on it) and is regularly updated with more and more. NoA just needs to take a cold, hard, look at that site and apply the same idea to their Nintendo World Store merchandise and stuff like this Captain Toad Lamp and shit. I have no idea why they haven't done this yet. Pokemon Center is a brilliant, wonderful site and if TPC can do it, then NoA is definitely more than capable of doing the same thing themselves, but yet for whatever reason they just... don't.

I just don't get it at this point. It's almost as if there's just like no attempt whatsoever at the different branches and subsidiaries of Nintendo to actually communicate with each other and share ideas concerning this subject and instead they each just continue to do their own thing and thus keep making the same mistakes over and over again instead of just talking to each other, learning from each other, and using those notes to improve each others services and help each other to grow and reach consumers better and better but they just don't. It's just entirely bizarre and definitely one of the aspects of Nintendo that continues to confuse me the most to this day.
