Has anyone seen these around before? I didn't even know of such a thing until a few days ago when I was looking for Pokémon cards...
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv337%2Fn64chick%2FSMGcardpacks.jpg&hash=ce4ff5ee6c6e3f11617b9a6ca231b2a6)
If anyone is curious, I'll post a little report of sorts on them.
-
Who still plays with Pokemon cards these days?
-
My nephews apparently...
-
Plenty of people who shop where I work.
-
I see them at Wal-Mart all the time.
-
I feel bad for changing the topic now ._.
I see them at Wal-Mart all the time.
The Pokemon cards? Or Galaxy cards?
-
The Galaxy cards.
Another one-liner for me. I need to get some new material.
-
Those Galaxy cards look so amazing that I would, provided that they're available in Canada, purchase the entire collection, fry them up and eat eat 'em, so they could always be a part of me. Otherwise, Club Nintendo's virtually-unobtainable, Mario-themed Hafunda cards will have to suffice:

Oh the Hanafuda! Those cards are really so great!
They also have that old-school design of Mario and Co. that I love so much!!! *_*
I have been informed that you can find the Hanafuda in internet, but they cost sooo much: about 40 Euros (don't know in dollars, but almost the same). I don't believe in this: I think only that some Japanese guys are taking advantage of the fact that you can find these beautiful cards only in the Japanese Nintendo Fan Club.... =/
Anyway, since when have the Super Mario Galaxy trading cards been sold? This is the first time I see them: I hope they will be sold also in Europe!
-
You can get them in the American Club Nintendo now as well. What is it, 800 coins?

40 Euros = 55.67600 U.S. dollars (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=CP0&q=40+euros+to+us+dollars&aq=f&oq=&aqi=)

I live in the US and have a deck from club.nintendo.com which I believe services NA. I think most major countries have a Club Nintendo now. Have you checked to see if they are available at NOE?

I saw Twilight Princess trading cards (including stickers, etc.) at a Wal-Mart two years or so back while Halloween shopping. I bought 'em for my brother's birthday.
-

800 Coins on the button. They're certainly available in Japan and North America, but it's hard to say the same for Super Catalina's native Italy. Of course, eBay always has a few decks for sale, albeit at exorbitantly high prices.
-
Those are not high prices.
Nintendo charges $800 for them.
-
Well, the cards cost $800, but then you get $800 worth of games for free.
-
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?
(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi23.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb380%2FTheHan%2FIMG_0622.jpg&hash=2ccc72ab9a8a7ad1f28364a6169cd590)
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 (http://n64-chick.livejournal.com/369939.html). 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 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/n64chick/SMGcardchecklist.jpg). 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
-
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.
