Oh my! It was working fine just a while ago. Heres the pics and description.

"Mario’s been bagging coins since 1985, and now you can celebrate 25 years and counting of Super Mario Bros. with a commemorative coin bearing the pixilated plumber’s image. It even comes complete with a handy storage pouch to keep it extra shiny! Coin material: Iron, gold plated. Weight: 29 grams. Size: 40mm (diameter) x 3mm (width). Storage pouch material: Polyester and velvet."

Thats actually pretty cool for 750 stars, might bag one of them, who knows how long before something else worth getting appears...

That's really cool!

Hehe you should, it could be worth quite a lot some day and its a great piece thing to have anyway for us Nintendo fans. I'll dread the day something better comes to the stars catalogue, I only have 400 stars left, haha!!

Its definitely something cool for the stars catalogue! Theres not much worth buying there, less of the Japanese items. I'm glad America's catalogue is getting more Japanese items. Hopefully Nintendo of Europe will follow suit in this, and introduce the member ranking while they're at it!

What is the game to stars rate in europe? Would someone in Europe be willing to order one of those sweet coins for something of equal value from the North American club? I really dig those coins!

I have 400 stars at the momment, if you could provide 350 somehow then I wouldnt mind ordering one for you and shipping it to you. This is the star value of products from Nintendo.co.uk:

"Stars Registration hardware: Wii console = 1000 Stars, Nintendo DS = 500 Stars
Registration software: Price < £ 26 (€ 29) = 100 Stars, Price £ 26-43 (€ 29-49) = 200 Stars, Price > £ 43 (€ 49) = 250 Stars (Recommended retail price)"

If you cant get a hold of any stars, then I wish you good luck in finding someone who has enough stars to trade, I'm sure someone will be willing to!

BTW guys, I have a "Subscribe to Nintendo Power, 3 issues for free!" card with my imported Pokemon Diamond from ages ago. It has a pin on the back. If anyone wants it just ask. I dont know if it will contribute to Club Nintendo coins, but I have no use for it so I thought I'd offer.

@DL2: Sorry, I got no way of obtaining stars. That offer is really generous though! Since you live in Europe, is 750 stars like, a lot? Like about how much money would have to be spent to get that?

EDIT: I'll take it dude! I could always use more coins!

Thats ok, good luck getting one! I'm sure they'll be all over ebay within 8 weeks, thats when the entire first batch should be dispatched. Its quite a bit, any game above £43 is 250 stars and the average Nintendo Wii game is £45. I've been buying only Wii games for a while. £180 would get 1,000 stars.
The coin is unusually cheap though! There are freaking wall decals (stickers) of 4 Mario Characters at 4,000 stars right now! You can check out the stars catalogue at http://nintendo.co.uk -> Club Nintendo -> Stars Catalogue and see the items.

Sure thing buddy, I cant find a way to private message you so I'll post it here and hope you get it first! EQD-EZLZ-ZECF-LF3
If it doesnt work I dunno whats wrong, its not been used. Hope it works!

@DL2: Thanks dude! the code worked like a charm! now just 270 more to go for the Game and Watch replica

Wahoo! Glad it worked. Hope you manage to redeem the G&W replica soon!

Yeah, me too. If it can last without being sold out for 45 more days and I get a chance to register my 3DS stuff, I'll barely make it. I have a feeling I won't get that lucky though Oh, and I just looked at the catalog for you guys. Your catalog is actually really great! I would give anything to be able to buy that gold Wii Wheel and SNES controller!

Fingers crossed that you'll be able to!
You think so? I guess theres some good stuff there now I look at it... I can guarantee all the good stuff will be there for ages though haha, not many people redeem them because of the high amount of stars needed. The Wii wheel and SNES controller have been there for a few months now. The golden Zelda statue is near impossible to get, though, at 1,500 stars! Haha!

I still cant believe that the DSi socks cost 1,000. Thats terrible when the Mario coin is 750, and it comes with a freaking pouch! A pouch alone would usually go for 750 alone lol. The prices need sorting out!

Cross fingers for me too!

Crosses fingers and toes for all of you

It's like so MAGNIFICENT!

NOOO!!! G&W IS BACKORDERED! D:

Question: I just got the Kirby Patches in the mail, and I'm thinking of sticking them on my 3DS when I get one.
Think they'll both fit?
I asked the question here because I don't think it's worth creating a whole new topic over.

@KaiserGX Does that mean its out of stock? If so then aww man! Hope its back in stock soon, that sure was fast... speaking of out of stock, the Mario coin has been pulled from the Stars Catalogue, its no longer there.

Club Nintendo said that the patches are 2.5 inches in size. The 3DS is 5.3 Inches wide and 2.9 inches high.
I made this pic where the patches are to scale with the 3DS based on the official measurements and it doesnt look like the patches will fit on nicely:

Wow, you put a lot of work into your answer! Thanks! (Sigh) Well, Kirby doesn't have a crown...maybe I can just put him on? I could find somewhere else to put poor Prince Fluff.
