I have a couple of these Pikmins already. I had to put them away though after one of my cats hid them under the carpet with just their little heads sticking out!

Finally something for me to spend my stars on. Plus, my kids will love those, so I ordered one of each before they go. 
Looks good, much better than the freaking Animal Crossing book. Still wish I could've got the SNES controller. I guess I need to buy these now as there's not much else.
Does anyone still remember the days when we got stuff like special GCN controllers or a Zelda GCN collection?

There's not particularly huge, btw, but they're certainly not tiny either.
Edit: also ordered the yellow and red one. My blue Pikmin will finally have some friends!

You guys get the best rewards. Literally the only thing I've ever wanted from the U.S rewards was the golden nunchuck. Those Pikmin and Mario Kart trophies are amazing.

Once in a blue moon. The greatness of the European Club Nintendo is vastly exaggerated.

So you're saying they probably found these in the back of a warehouse somewhere?
Isn't that how it always works? An employee of the Club Nintendo Japan warehouse finds some stuff in a box full of dust in the back of their warehouse. Removes the dust. Sends the box to Europe. Club Nintendo Europe opens the box, and to their surprise finds things inside they could actually put up in the Stars catalogue. After a few more months or so they do. Euro gamers, deprived for years and extremely hungry, start dancing.

Bought all 3 of them, apparently 765 stars expired last month and I'm sure my other 7000 were getting pretty close so I may as well take something cool while it is available.

I don't see why they can't just produce enough physical products for every Club Nintendo at once. It'd save them a lot of money.

But it'll save them money when they don't have to produce the products and just send things that was overstocked, thus the current catalogue system XD

Don't you feel a little more special now that you and your kids will have Pikmin while American Nintendo fans can't get them? ;-)
I don't think Nintendo of Japan (where the majority of the decisions are taken) are that focused on worldwide business. The home market is their core business. If that one is successfully catered, they will have a look at the other regions.

Just ordered a blue and yellow Pikmin friend. Shame those NoE bastards pulled 2400 stars from my account last month. Boo them, boo! But I hope that I can still get the red guy in the near future.

These Pikmin plushies look so weird.
And I'm so mad that they still don't have the SNES CC back in stock. I finally have enough stars to get one and they run out of stock!
Now I said screw that and picked up the 2-Disc version of the Galaxy soundtrack before that vanishes, too!

Me too! If the SNES controller returns in the next few days I might just end my life!
Is that how it comes in the post? I don't want my postman thinking I'm strange.

I had 4000, my GF had 2000... we got all 3 too
Haha I was deciding between this and the Super Mario Characters Figurine. Funnily enough it was the yellow ? box it comes in that was making me want it lol. But knowing how this will most likely vanish into the nether I had to snap them all up. I guess it'll liven up my bedroom lol

Finally saved enough stars today for the Bowser/Mario/Luigi/Toad/Peach/Goomba figurine but when I realised that it was only 11cm tall and these were not only decent sized (24cm tall) but I could get all three for LESS than the figurine... No brainer!
The EU pricing (star wise) continues to bemuse me...
red one is still available.
They have already been on the stars catalogue years and years ago.
I've got a red pikmin buried away in my loft somewhere.
Seems to depend on your country.
There really is nothing interesting. I'm still bummed though that I wasted a lot of stars during the WIi-years on Wii Points as opposed to getting the soundtrack or snes cc or whatever else I may have completely missed.

Meh at those Pikmin plushes. The Sanei ones are much nicer.
If they weren't so many coins I would get them though.
