As part of the upcoming Splatfest, which pitches Super Mushrooms against Super Stars, My Nintendo introduced a brand new reward for only 100 Platinum Points: a set of keyrings, made of laser-cut and engraved acrylic, featuring the two powerups. Now you never have to choose again!
Unfortunately, the keyrings - which were highly anticipated, if Reddit fever is anything to go by - sold out immediately, at least in the US - word has it that they're still available in Japan.
Now, people are turning elsewhere to attempt to buy codes from scalpers. The keyrings are currently selling on eBay for $30, far above their Platinum Point cost.
If you really want to feel jealous of Japan's My Nintendo haul, check out this website that documents the currently available physical rewards over there. Man, we really want that Link's Awakening Drawstring Bag, and that Pokémon coffee sleeve. There's even a Super Mario Odyssey poster set that includes Mario's infamous nipples. We... don't want that.
Did anyone manage to grab the set for themselves? We were busy writing stories like this, and totally missed it.

Figures why couldn't they make more...
It’s really nice. Still haven’t opened it up.
I got these back in September when they first went up
I was able to get these from the European My Nintendo a few months ago.
I can't help but be incredibly angry looking at the Japanese site mentioned. They have probably 50 + different physical rewards. In the meantime the NOA website crashes everytime they put up a new reward because 50,000 people try to order something that they've only allocated 100 codes for. Then that reward either is completely gone or doesn't get updated until approximately 22 days later at 3:04 a.m.
Now get ready for the chaos that will be pin set #2
I'd never scoped out the Japanese MyNintendo rewards page before. I had no idea it was on that level. Now that I know what we're missing out on, I can't help but to look at the US page in disgust.
(though they did restock the holiday ornaments)
I saw these up at around midnight. How did I miss this? I check about every 3 or 4 hours. Is there people out there refreshing every second? How on earth are we going to get Mario #2 pin set!
It’s very simple for NoA website to gauge potential buyer interest in a forthcoming product to cover supply levels...but then that’s not how Nintendo actually wants to do business
Missed these but managed to grab one of the AC dodo bags this morning after noticing they had been restocked (UK)
have shortages ever been this bad for club nintendo? they should make physical items the norm again so mundane things like keychains dont become hot ticket items
I’m trying not to be jealous but it isn’t working!!!
They were up yesterday I managed to get one.
I noticed them when they first went up, but I already have a Monster Hunter keychain that says "Mmm, so tasty!", so there's really no competition.
I came late, but even so, I probably wouldn’t have picked them up. I’m saving money at the moment, and these scream Mario more than Splatoon. ...If they restock the Monado phone thingie, I’ll bite then.
Browsing the Japanese My Nintendo stuff and, I gotta say, I'm loving the Hylian Shield smartphone ring.
@Mr-Fuggles777 same!! ...except it won't ship to Canada, so I just had it sent to my best mate's house. I guess it's her cute bag now
Scalping should be made illegal.
I was very lucky bc at that time I was grinding on FE to get points and saw that the keychains were there and I needed to get through 3 chapters to get the keychains and surprisingly I did it, it was around 1:30 when I saw it.
