Platinum baby! Can't wait to order that BEAST!

I was really hoping for Tingle's Balloon Fight. Ah well, another year, another item.

Man, I only got Gold. Looks like the calendar again for me....

What!?! You would rather get Tingle's Balloon Fight? This is like my dream prize!

The Club Nintendo website is soooooo SLOOOOWWWWW. Must be everyone trying to order their statue.

I should use this as a case study of why using Struts is a bad idea.

Hmmm, I enjoyed the Mario hat more last year, but the statue will at least look cool amongst my other Nintendo junk--I mean treasure.

...Can I go on the record saying I HATE Nintendo of Australia.

Funny, people here seem to be happy with this reward----like me. But on other sites, but are REALLY complaining about it. Can't make some people happy, huh?

Cool, but Im still
waiting for that Mario hat wearing Kirby, nintendo!

My order isn't working and I reached platinum.

I'm actually glad I got Gold this year.
I don't want a plastic figure of Mario.

Your avatar shows your true feelings. Have fun with your piece of semi good quality thin cardboard. (not hating on the Calendar just you).

Awesome! Can't wait to get that statue.

Prepares high-security glass case

EDIT: That calendar's actually not half bad.

This man knows what I'm talking about!

So loving the Platinum reward. <3

I figured it would be Mario themed with all the games starring him we got this past year. Can't wait to see what next year brings!

@Odnetnin - I feel your pain. I can't seem to make my order go through either.Just keep trying, I guess.

@14: Of course I do. I'm not taking any sides though, both prizes are very nice.

The Calendar is good, made of good quality, but you'd be dumb to choose it over the Mario characters figure if you got Platinum. If you are that person at least trade it to someone who wants it, and has the calendar. You change your mind when you actually get these prizes in your hands. Lot better in person.

Bah! that sucks. I was really hoping for the Super Mario Galaxy 2 soundtrack. Oh well. The statue is kind of cool...

It says I'm not eligible for this reward, even though I made it well over Platinum... This sucks.

EDIT: Gee, thanks Kid_A for reminding me about that :/ That would have been totally awesome it they put that in there.

@Min - Their site seems to be borked right now due to high traffic. Try back later.

Ah, alright. Thanks for the heads up, twr.

/is jealous

It was only november last year, this is going to be a long wait, maybe as soon as they all get shipped we'll hear about the 3DS coming out, make my christmas Nintendo.

Hm, the lack of a real choice (calendars don't count) makes it a little less fun this year. They could have at least let me pick Rosalina over Peach for my statue.

wow another calander... thats utterly craptastic

.. Well fudge. Why doesn't awesome stuff like this ever come to Europe.. ;~; I hope this will be sold as regular merchendice later on too!

Later on too? What else was sold?

Nice Platinum reward. I have the Calendar from last year. Yeah, it is loading so slow. Not even half of the web page shows...

Won't Let Me Claim My Prize.....Too Many People...Can I Call and Claim My Prize????

GIVE ME MY FIGURINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually quite like the figurine. Nintendo's site does seem to be overrun again. Might try again in a day or two.

Owch, I was 150 short of Platinum...and once again, Gold is supremely lame.

I'm short 30 coins. Oh well, I guess there's always next year...

Whoot! Figurine for me!

...I spent my college fund for a figurine? =P

I hope the hat becomes a regular list item this season... and maybe some soundtracks and controllers too...

V8 Ninja, you should have posted something, I would have gladly given you a Warioware D.I.Y. code.

Sweet, the figurine will look great on my desk

I reach Platinum and order Super Mario characters then the Calendar.

Guess I must have gone through the website to claim my prize before everyone from the US got online then

Do want!!! D:

I reached Platinum, tried to redeem prize but was told I didn't qualify. I know I reached Platinum. I'm going to wait a bit to see if nintendo will correct the mistake before notifing them.

Has this happen to anyone else?

@kidpit its happening to me too, it says i didnt qualify, even though it had 1800 coins registered!

Just be patient, I'm sure a lot of people got psyched and are filling the servers.

Yikes, I was still hoping for the Wii SNES controller that Japan got awhile back...

I have never done so many surveys at one time in my life (even last year when I got to 600, lol), but it looks like I had enough to get to 1200 with 70 coins worth of surveys left over to start next year. I'm not much the figurine guy, but peace out to that calendar-- the pictures with Nintendo characters? Priceless. The fact it's calendar portion only good for 1 year? Useless. I too will get that glass casing, along with trip beams, full time security staff, and the "red button" if someone should get past all that, lol.

@ Kidpit & Zsxdflip: If it continues after at least 3 days, i'd suggest visiting the tech support forum. They should provide an answer. :3

Platninum status never felt so good, that thing is cool!

Teaser for Super Mario 3D maybe?

If I ever do get a calendar, it will be the one for 2012. Lol, Only then will I choose Gold over Platinum. (Unless it's Kirby).

@KaiserGX: I meant this to be sold as regular merchendise later on too, BESIDES being a platinum gift. Sorry if I wasn't clear. ^^;

Now I wish I'd reached Gold last year and Platinum this year, instead of the other way around. I really like that miniature statue.

I wanted a Samus Aran figurine but this is good enough.

Just ordered my figurine, can't wait to get it in the mail. In December

Getting myself a figurine... but the page just died on my. Guess a lot of us got platinum this year.

Wow it took me close to an hour to get all the way through to fill out my order. Totally worth it though. Now all I gotta do is wait til December.

Makes a nice Xmass present.

@MasterGraveheart
I know the feeling, but hay, You get a cool collectable of Mario and friends.
(maybe I should have use that money on a car, that way I won't have to take the bus home, from college).....oh well, can wait to put that Mario collectable in my closet, with the Mario hat...

Just Got My Order in.....Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee!.....Will Someone Please Congratulate Me...Thank You...Thank You Very Much

Congrats

Platinum FTW!
I got to get to Club Nintendo now!

Now I just need an NA address to send my calendar to, lol

I'm having problems redeeming my platinum reward on Club nintendo. I am having problems loading the page, and after I hit "refresh" I got a message that I am not eligible, wtf?

Edit: Okay, now I started back at the homepage, click the "Do it" link on the platinum reward, and I get this:

_"There was a Problem with your request.
But don't worry, your coins are safe with us."_

Edit: "This reward has already been redeemed." So I guess it went through, the ultimate figurine is mine, yay!

On second thought, the site is completely broken. It's saying I have no coin history at all, but I still have 610 elite status coins benn trying to claim my prize for over an hour now, probably time to give up and try later

Looks like I should have went for Platinum this year. I enjoyed the calendar last year, but getting yet another calendar this year is pretty disappointing.

Ordered my platinum prize, and Chunky Droid, you can always send it to my place, but I won't guarantee you will see it again.

I guess I'll get the statue...

finally my prize has been ordered YEAH!!!!!! )xD - wooaa

YAY! ireacheed platinum

@Stardust - The site is correct. Your Elite Status has been reset with the rollover into the new year. You still have 610 coins because you can collect those and spend them on useless jun- sorry, cool stuff from Nintendo.

I feel bad for all the people who are currently trying to get their prize despite the high traffic. I ordered my statue at 8:30 when I got up to go to scout camp (I'm 14) because I knew that the reward be available today.

P.S. I like your avatar labrat7

Damit!!! I want that so badly!!! (Goes on Ebay)

I got platinum but I think I will go for the calendar anyways. I would rather have a calendar then a little statue, no offense meant to the above people who are really excited

Eh. It isn't letting me press the button to have it send it. I will wait until later in the month.

I got platinum and I am going to get the figurine so I can sell it online.

I didn't think I would reach Platinum this year. Thought I needed 1000 or 800 coins, not 600. Filling out those surveys for 10 coins (some 20 and 30) was worth it, and I had some other games that had yet to be registered. Oh, and I forgot about Wii Fit, and now I'm getting- well, for my mom- that free tote bag in about a month's time and earned 100 coins

Oh, and Dragon Quest IX will bring 40-50 coins because I was planning on getting it, so that's neat too.

This figurine reminds me of those Smash Bros. Trophies. If only they had Smash Bros. Trophies where you can choose between the original 8- or even 12. That'd be so hard to choose from, since it'd be between Kirby and Ness for me.. You know, that actually WOULD be awesome

And maybe Gold people choose from.. 12 plushies (like the original Smash Bros. where they were small toys)? Just some suggestions.

Sorry for double-posts, but I ordered my figurine about 15 minutes from now with no slow downs.. Luckily. Cheers

Thanks For The Congrats-@KaiserGX Finally Someone Speaks up on My Behalf....Does Anyone Know How To Post Forum Topics?????

Mark_M: "I wanted a Samus Aran figurine, but this is good enough."

Indeed, Mark...

I just managed to get my Mario figurine order in. I'm so glad I reached Platinum this year!

Well, crap. I wish I had more money to buy Nintendo games during the year.

@75.
Alls you gots ta do is click on New Thread on the top-right corner of the screen. Then, name the topic and then post the first message to start it off.

Thanks Atomic Wii Man

Amazon F'd me out of platinum status as I ordered S&P2 and they still have yet to ship it though it should have. Had it came on time yesterday I'd have platinum by like 10-20pts. Now I get a calendar. Damn I'm thrilled. They really do disrespect the gold award status people don't they?

Already ordered my figurine, woot!

weak

Meh, not a huge fan. It's not like I can do anything with it. Punch out was better (not that I was able to get it, because my brother didn't download it, and it expired yesterday. - I wish I had known, I would have set the Wii up, but now it't gone forever - LAME!).

Hopefully, the figurine will get something on ebay from collector types.

While some may not care for this prize, I think it beats the crap out of last years prizes. I just ordered mine, so I can't wait for it to arrive

Just finished all of the reviews I have saved up. All I need is 90 points to reach Platinum.

Crap, I'm moving in August. How do I get my prize? The house isn't done yet.

Meh is my answer. Not bad. But really, u can't really DO anything with a plastic figurine...

the biggest question is.. when does it ship?

@greenellow In December, just like last year.

would of bin better if it was the classic controller or that shout warriors game club nintendo japan got....but i guess the figurine is better then calendar sigh -dream on..

I'l rather have a key to download Super Mario All-Stars for Virtual Console! that would be much better than a hunk of plastic.

The Statue looks cool- But It's less than 4 inches tall, and will probably just sit on my Dresser until the end of time.

Wish i'd had time to fll out the rest of those surveys toget my platinum reward. Oh well, I guess theirs always next year. ;(

@gameking23: I believe that you are late, because June 30th is the final day to reach Platinum. I see that you posted your comment on July 1st.

@Pegasus: Yeah, when I read the confirmation e-mail and it said I should receive it by the end of December I was just thinking..."Wow...what a wait!" heh.

It...won't...come....until....after....Christmas.....

@sontuk They said that it would ship before December so I guess they may ship it in October like last year

@suburban_sensei No, I got the platinum for way b4 June 30th. I was talking about that I am almost Platinum for next year. See I saved alot of my reviews after I had reached 600 points.

I like the Platinum gift but I'd rather have rare games or soundtrack CDs or special controllers like what they get in JPN. But hey something is better than nothing!

Woo! Awesome figurine! Can't wait to get it!

Jealousy

I need a 2011 calender so i'm getting this, that plastic Mario thing looks stupid, i was hoping for a downloaded wiiware game like last year though, this calender will work though.

To be honest with you guys I don't care too much for that reward. I ordered it last friday and will be putting it on eBay the minute I get it. How much do you guys think I should ask for such an item?

@aviator
wait until you see nintendo of turkey:P

I'm getting the statue (thanks to my recurring mooching off of my friend's abundance of codes). I feel a sick feeling in my stomach that this statue will be thrown on my dresser and break eventually...

I'd rather have something Metroid-related. Or, at least a downloadable game. Tingle's Balloon Fight looks awesome.
