Club Nintendo is dead - long live Club Nintendo! Ahem, you'll have to forgive us for the rather needless quote, but it certainly springs to mind in this instance, as the endangered loyalty programme continues to offer up some interesting rewards.
Nintendo Europe has today sent out emails to its users reminding them of the impending death of the Club Nintendo scheme, but contained within is info on items that are heading to the Stars Catalogue in the not-too-distant future. These include a Captain Toad lamp, Luigi's Mansion 2 diorama, Zelda carry case and a whole host of Mario Kart trophies.
However, it's stuff that isn't shown on the images below that has us really excited. Who wouldn't want a "Kirby's Dream Blanket", for example? And the "Club Nintendo Goodbye Coin" is likely to become quite the collector's item in the years to come.
Remember, after September 30th your Stars will be useless, so make sure you spend them on something - anything - before that date.

Oh my LORD, I need that Toad lamp. Hopefully I can still afford it.
I don't normally like the look of any of their physical rewards but that Captain Toad lamp is cool.
I will save my stars for that Club Nintendo Goodbye coin, without a doubt.
Absolutely tempting to get a MK7 trophy as well, I have Lightning and Shell.
The Captain Toad figurine lamp is pretty cool, but I'll pass.
I really want that goodbye coin!
I wonder how much it will be. I would be nice if it were cheap.
Sheesh. Europe gets all this cool stuff. I hope the next iteration of Club Nintendo will be more universal and offer the same rewards in different regions. That Goodbye Coin sounds interesting and I wonder if it's coming to North America... but having spent all my coins already, I'd be out of luck unless they send one to everyone for free. That would be pretty snazzy, but I won't hold my breath.
And people from Europe always claimed NA had a better CN
That Mario Kart 8 soundtrack is mine!
SWEET BABY JESUS I NEED THAT LAMP omg and those coasters!
glad I have 5500 stars left omg
Meanwhile in NA with all the good rewards sold and pricey games.
Aww, here I was hoping they would have released the Flower and Star cup trophies as well! I already have all the ones shown there.
Oh well. I'm not sure if I really want anything else from here. Maybe the Toad lamp, maybe the goodbye coin... if only I knew if there was something Yoshi related coming, I would certainly save my Stars for that!
How much for the trophies back then? That captain Toad for me although I want the others as well!
Darn, so many good stuffs, makes me regret I ordered the Majora Lamp O.O;
I expected a couple of updates, but not such a huge one! Luckily I still have some stars, I should manage to get one or two of those goodies (the come back of the Zelda case is very welcome indeed).
10,000 stars thinking either Luigi diorama, MK8 soundtrack, Goodbye coin or game card case. Really not sure will wait for values.
Too bad I used my stars for the pouch.
and NA couldn't get any of this WHY?
got the email, hope their not too expensive
I really wish Toad had his mouth open. He looks kinda strange as it is.
Providing Australia even receives some of these, I probably won't have enough stars for anything anyway. Hate that I can't afford the Majora's Mask lamp.
very nice
NA never got anything as cool as that Captain Toad lamp.
550 stars have u after thinking I'd registered everything. I doubt I'll be able to afford any of that cool merch, but I'll wait to get a Toad Home theme for my daughter's 3DS (I'm assuming I can do that despite her having her own Club Nintendo account linked to her own NNID) and Luigi ringtones.
Just seen i have bayonetta 1 and 2 codes and are out off date now .
Mario Kart 8 soundtrack AND a Captain Toad lamp!?!
Damn it, Nintendo. WHY DON'T YOU JUST SELL THESE THINGS SEPARATELY. THE FANS OBVIOUSLY WANT THEM.
I only have just under 3000 stars. Unless they're very generous with the pricing, I don't think I'll be able to get any of those...
I'd get the Special Cup trophy, MK8 Soundtrack and the Goodbye Coin if I had enough stars.
I'm gonna get the Goodbye coin if I can, otherwise I'll go for the MK8 soundtrack.
Still got a month and some days to go in NA till the CN Coins are useless. Still holding out for any surprises.
Those stuff are pretty awesome.
Still bummering that I happen to live on one of EU country where Nintendo Europe won't deliver a physical rewards to there.
I hope a new reward system will get bless to those countries.
@outburst
The MK7 trophies were 5000 stars in Europe before.
There was also the Year of Luigi coin which cost 1500 stars, I am expecting the Club Nintendo Goodbye Coin may be the same.
I had been saving and yesterday I spent my coins on digital content such as the console theme, A Link to the past (Wii U), Pikmin Shorts HD, and The Mario kart folder/bookmarks. I now want to kill myself... UGH I BLEW MY STARS TO EARLY, I SPLATOONED MYSELF.
YES The MK8 Soundtrack is coming to Europe, I knew it! Hopefully my 2250 stars will be enough.
@RupeeClock
Thanks! I'll pass on the trophies then. Capn Toad and Goodbye Coin for me depending on the stars per item.
Finally some decent physical stuff coming. The downloads are great too, but I don't really need new games now. Well, I don't really "need" the physical stuff either, but anyway...
Kill me, Kill me, Kill me...
@outburst
I'm personally hoping that whatever physical rewards I get will leave me with enough stars to get that Nintendo Consoles 3DS home menu theme as well.
I currently have 7740 stars saved up, theoretically if the MK7 trophies are 5000 stars, the Goodbye Coin is 1500 stars, that leaves me with 1240 stars to get two of the three available themes.
That is, if I go for an MK7 trophy, or if they are still available when I want to get my Goodbye Coin which is the absolute highest priority item here. I would hate to get an MK7 trophy and then discover I don't have enough stars for that coin!
@Troggy: Spot on. TAKE MY MONEY!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
There's no way to get these if you've used all your stars is there? To me that's just not fair to keep adding stuff, they should have advertised all this in advance as I want the coasters and coin.
@Sean_Aaron you can, I used stars from my account last night to get the Nintendo Systems theme for my son, who has his own Club Nintendo & NNID, for his Nintendo 2DS
Sigh please nintendo give us the star price. Got 2000 stars lets hope I can get something
@AceTrainerBean I know how you feel pal... I did get some cool stuff but I'm kinda wishing I'd held back... Lol oh well, here's to whatever eventually replaces Club Nintendo!
@GLA Well, there's Ebay... I'm sure lots of fans will put up their booty... Does feel unfair that this is not available worldwide and there was no clear indication of what was going to be added or even if stuff was going to be added. I really hope that the new club is fairer. And also that there are no surveys.
WAIT. A KIRBY BLANKET?!?!?!!!!??! OH MY
@MJKOP Fab, I think that will make her happy since she likes the Toads.
@Sean_Aaron she'll love it, I like it myself lol
Finally the Mario Kart 8 OST! I do want the trophies but honestly i'll take the OST and goodbye coin. In truth i think every CN member should be sent that for free as a thank you for their loyalty. CN is down at the moment too.
This is what I've been waiting for. Zelda case and coasters for me. But my son would love that captain toad lamp, so that will get priority.
... ok, I can usually let other regions getting more stuff than NoA pass because I think most of the time people in NoA act like whiny brats for a free service, but this is depressing. This is a LOT of stuff when they were already getting better stuff, and both Japan and Europe are getting infinitely better rewards now. And Europe has until September while NoA has until the end of June, which makes me think NoA isn't going to be adding anything at all since it's ending so much sooner while Europe is doing it for the long term. Sigh I wish NoA had an online store so we could at least buy some of these here in the west. I'm not paying ebay prices. Yet another thing other places have over NoA....
They saved the best until last. Club Nintendo was utter crap, and it's still obscenely expensive.
@Sakura I wouldn't mind surveys if I felt the results were actually going to tell Nintendo something. Hopefully everyone clicked on youtube anyway.
And eBay, I dread to think how high and silly the auctions will go. There's always the Nintendo land theme park gift shops that should have all this stuff hopefully.
Meanwhile in Club Nintendo NA...
This is why you wait.
Now over in NoA.....half price off crappy, cheapily made items
I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY TO WAIT! THAT MK8 OST WILL BE MINE!
Congrats EU. You guys officially have the best CN going away rewards available. So jelly.
I'm bummed about the Toad light. I'd switch my Majora light (which isn't even due to arrive 'til July for me...) for that in a heartbeat. And that Luigi statue, I thought they were completely gone. Oh well. I'm hoping to at least get that coin, but I guess if I really want the stuff later then there's eBay.
I really want that Toad light, but I only have 450 Stars!
I wish NA could have these,but I already spent all my coins...
I want the lamp and coin
Um. Someone sell me that Captain Toad lamp for a reasonable price. Seriously, tell Nintendo to make it available for sale. That was the kind of thing I was saving my Club Nintendo coins for.
Wow you guys in Europe have got great Physical rewards. I spent my coins and I am quite happy with my stuff including Tropical freeze.
Spent my 10,000 points on VC games about 3 weeks ago not expecting any more new rewards. .. Fail Would have loved the Luigi diorama for my luigis mansion obsessed 6yr old. Didnt have enough points last time. Not enough THIS TIME!!!!
Love the lamp and coasters and the coin is an instant collectable........I have 600.points though and a big back log so I'll probably end up with a panoramic video =(
Just when I gave in and spent my 7000 points on games I didn't have time to play....
I understand the pains of people who live under NoA (I spent all of my coins two days ago, so I can't get anything from here) But I am just getting sick and tired of constantly reading "Meanwhile in NoA" or "Europe is sooooooooo lucky"
I don't mean to sound annoying, but yeah. Someone had to say it.. -.-

at the moment I have 4,900 stars hope I can get at least something with that, and im getting Splatoon (hope it comes with a code with it) and thinking about getting Kirby and the rainbow paintbrush (hope it comes with a code with it).
Also I would have liked it if the amiibo's had club Nintendo codes with them because have about 16 of them
I've only got 1900 stars left. I wonder how much the Goodbye Coin will be...? The other items are probably too expensive anyway.
@candy94 I don't think any new releases come with codes...
@Pentarou I think that's mean because its still running until September for europe
@Pentarou You are correct, the last game to have Club Nintendo codes was Mario Party 10.
DAT TOAD !!
but i wont have enough coins for sure
NNNOOOOOOOOO.... Damn that majora lamp I spent my last on, Luigi Diorama is way better.
Poo.
Wait what? they wait until people have spent up their coins/stars to put the good stuff out?
ugh...off to ebay I go.
I'm happy with games but OH MY GOD that stuff looks so cool.
I'd love to have those coasters. Ah well. North America, again.
Just been on. Nothing new? is it all gone already?
@G0dlike it has not appeared on it yet, as it says in the email/ picture in the article that 'look out for these exclusive items amongst, others, in the stars catalogue in the future'
I might hang back for one of the trophies, especially the Special Cup. Or maybe a Mario Kart 8 soundtrack. The Captain Toad lamp looks cool too.
@candy94 yep, pretty much realised that as soon as i posted the comment! Doh!
@G0dlike that's ok
I hate NoA :/
@MikeW why?
@MikwW oh I just realised, I can see why you hate them
Damn. No stars left :< i really hope that theres potential of these being available in the future under the new system
Wow, the toad lamp and mario kart trophies look great. If I had stars left I'd definitely get one of these goodies
New releases dont have any more codes for registration, but the retail stuff in the 3DS shop still has stars listed to be credited when purchased. Nintendo has a weird policy cause for some of that stuff people would buy games just to get the stars for it. Ebay-wise, good luck, this is gonna be really expensive... the Luigi 2 diorama alone is currently at around 100-150$ and some 200.
Hmm... don't suppose any of those are 250 stars or less? It's annoying me that I have those left, but all I can buy is ringtones and wallpapers...
Wow. Good thing I didn't used any of my stars.
I was about to start panicking what I want to spend my stars on.
I was really hoping that the Mario Kart Trophies return for a last time.
But I'm not sure which trophy I want.. aaaahhh! HELP!
I've seen people complain that Club Nintendo Europe offers crap, but when they want to offer something good, they offer fantastic stuff. Certainly beats the crap out of the physical rewards of North America.
Dammit, I must have that MK8 soundtrack
Well, I live in a European country that doesn't even have Club Nintendo so, makes no odds to me. However, good for the peeps that can get some of that cool stuff. Lucky sods lol...
@ikki5
if people in europe do say it:
(facepalm from those people)
it is true that Club Nintendo in europe have more cooler stuff than in USA (althought the USA CN reward is very decent and even you can buy download code for physical game[side note; yes i know europe do let you use stars for eshop games and 3ds theme (yes the same theme as the one that japan received via JP CN) but not download version of physical game])
I will be absolutely gutted if they bring back the SNES classic controller at 7000 stars after I have spent all my stars and bought the Super Famicom version.
I'm pretty gutted by this, I was pretty happy to have enough points for a SNES controller and two pouches once. They are amazing gifts, shame you can't buy them. Some day you might be able to.
Waaaaaa I've only got 350 stars
Everything to expensive
@Tsurii897 Same here mate, feeling so annoyed.
@ikki5 Because you always did.
This is what they should have done with Club Nintendo when they announced it's demise - told us what was coming to the catalogue. I think it is a little too late for some people now, as they have spent their final stars already (on downloadable games etc.). I have a few stars left, so hopefully I will still be able to afford something good. As for other people though, it's probably too late now.
I have 5300 stars, so if the trophies are 5000, I have just enough. Yay!
That's pretty mean from Nintendo. First they push you to spend all your stars on digital games because "OMG Club Nintendo is closing hurry up!!!" and then they come out with the best stuff they have put out in years. Anyway, these things are probably going to sell out in a matter of hours and pop up on ebay the very same day. Like for amiibo, there's people who have turned Club Nintendo into a private business.
@spizzamarozzi "That's pretty mean from Nintendo. First they push you to spend all your stars on digital games because "OMG Club Nintendo is closing hurry up!!!" and then they come out with the best stuff they have put out in years".
This was my first thought as well.
Anyone remember how much the Luigi's Diorama cost last time?
I hope my 7300 points is enough for that coin. Saying that tho, They might price it really high because everybody will want one!
@cloudrunner64 I hope not
i wonder when they are going to appear on the club Nintendo website
Why they don't sell this stuff for real money on their site?
If they ask 500 coins (= 2 games) just for a 3ds menu theme, how much can they ask for a diorama or a figurine?!?
I would be jealous that we don't get this stuff in NA, but I would be even more upset if they did because I already spent all my coins on games that I didn't really want. I never got that Luigi's Mansion statue, and the Toad lamp is awesome.
Did anyone else see the star prices drop and a few extra items appear last night? Mario hat, wii remote holder, pikmin bag were added and quite a few things had the price drop like the themes that are at 500 were at 300. Was back to normal today though 😞
@RupeeClock I remember the Mario 25th coin being pretty cheap at 750 stars.
I only have 3500 which won't be enough for the leaf trophy. They have had some good things through the years like the special pokemon DS or the Link and Epona statue.
when is the luigi's mansion diorama coming back??
