Well, there's a paradox if I've ever seen one: You have to buy $800 worth of games to get the cards which allow you to get $800 worth of games for free? All I know is that it took the combined totals of my own and my cousin's games to afford a 600-coin cardboard-and-foam game case. One schmexy game case, mind you, but just a game case nonetheless.

You got one of those cases too, Weegee? I know I did.

You know you did, or do you think you know you did?

Yeah?

I've contemplated getting that but really I have no idea which reward I should get because they all look incredible.

Yeah, deciding between the SMB game case and the Hafunda cards was brutal. In the end, the former won out because laminated cardboard and foam is more likely to survive a juice spill than paper cards.

I'm gonna wait until next month to do anything. I got Platinum status, and I want to make sure the prize you get for that isn't something I was going to buy (doubtful, I know, since this isn't Japan). I'm also not registering anything until then, because it seems like a waste to go over 600 in a year.

The Platinum status prize (which I'll be getting as well) is probably something relatively trivial compared to the actual collectibles. I'd expect something to the likes of a commemorative coin. On a related note, Japan's Club Nintendo has access to exponentially cooler stuff than ours. Really, who wouldn't want a Nintendo DS case shaped like Mario's hat?

EDITED EDIT: Whoops; my bad.

No, coins last for 2 whole full years.

Statuses get reset every year though, so I'll be a platinum member for basically like 10 more days.

That's the one I got too, Weegee. I liked how it smelled like a shoe store when I first got it. Mmm...shoe store scent...

Anyway, back to the SMG trading cards, I made a video about it which can be seen here. This will probably be the only time you'll ever see me in front of a webcam...

Or you can simply ignore that and just check out the card checklist. Do note that because the size of this thing, I had a little trouble scanning it.

speaking of pokemon cards, I am very thankful I didn't go for that fad...my friends wasted LOTS of money on that crap

I remember the real Mario cards there with drawn screens from mario 1 and 2, and there were those silver things to scratch to see if you won...those were cool

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #25 on:** June 29, 2009, 04:01:01 PM »

Yeah, I've got a few of those myself.

I have some of those actually. I picked them up at the Goodwill that I used to work at. I never did scratch off any of them though. :P

Yeah, that kind of stuff you leave be. I picked 'em up at Starabilias in Downtown Disney years ago.

If any if them were doubles, I would've done it. But of course, none of these were.
