It may seem odd to Club Nintendo fans in North America who are mourning the loss of the service in the region, but Nintendo of Europe continues to release new rewards for the soon-to-end programme. As we've said in other recent entries for these additions, the pool of members with enough stars for these goodies must be shrinking fast.
Nevertheless, two old favourites have gone back in stock in Europe (not Australia, sadly) - there was a spell earlier where items disappeared from the catalogue, but it appears to be back to normal. First up is the Luigi's Mansion 2 Diorama, which costs a whopping 7000 stars.
Next is The Legend of Zelda Carry Case - if a Premiership footballer is spotted on TV carrying their grooming gear in one of these our collective lives will all be fulfilled.
Of course, many likely don't have any stars left. If you're not in that unfortunate position, are you tempted to grab one of these?

Thanks Nintendo NA! Great job yet again.
Mean while in NA
And no...this lad is just plain dead....
my reaction
i'm so sorry about this
@DEAD and that's only on the luigi diorama price but not the carry case because i already have it.
Just another reason why Reggie is a complete failure. Seriously, he's a clown. NOA seems like it's run by monkeys. I can't recall a single good decision in the last 2 years.
F**K YOU REGGIE AND NOA!
...Still keeping my stars.
Only have half of what I'd need for that diorama.
GET YOUR SH*T TOGETHER, REGGIE!
Edit: Admittedly, that was uncalled for. But for God's sake, I'm getting tired of America constantly getting the short-end of the stick!
yeah, NOA can bite my fat WV backside....stuff like this keeps me from supporting their @$$
I am a little butt hurt, that looks crazyyy cool
Is that a fanny pack?
Bought Mario and Sonic at the Sochi Winter Olympics yesterday. When I opened the case first thing I saw was the paper insert w/ the Club Nitneod code on it, not even the hidden behind the plastic code, the actual insert. Now what am I supposed to do w/ that?
Nintnedo - where the titles are ever green but the Club has been dead for months. Yeah, that makes sense, shut down the Club MONTHS before the new one opens, not after it opens.
Wasted my stars on a majors lamp, but least I sold it on eBay and made some mulah. Dat Diorama tho. That would be a keeper.
Man that Luigi statue.
Not enough stars for both despite all the savings, add to pick one >.<
Hopefully I won't regret I choosed the case, most of the items I got from the Club Nintendo proved to be very usable and trustable in everyday life.
I was waiting for the diorama, I've already picked it up!
Now I've got just 3500 stars left, I think I'll go with the goodbye coin and something else, maybe.
Sorry for you american friends, but you can always buy it on ebay at a high priiiceee! :trollface:
My sister got me the statue for my birthday before the NA Club died. Blew me away.
I got the Luigi's Mansion Diorama when it first came on Club Nintendo, and for those wondering, it's a great diorama: very detailed, and looks nice as well. It's well worth it.
I think I'm going to hold on to my stars for the goodbye coin
I am in the States and got Luigi back when it originally came out. Made a lot of money selling it.
Boo-urns. Nintendo Australia promised we'd get the diorama too. Hopefully it's just a minor delay.
Why does NoE suddenly throw all this stuff at us after starting the whole "CN will close soon, better trade your stars" panic?! Are they really expecting that many players keeping their stars for this stuff? I tried my best to hold all my stars together, but thanks to all CN codes inexplicably expiring at the end of March or April (can't remember right now), even my latest codes are completely worthless!
Meanwhile in Europe... still no Flipnote Studio 3D unless we sign up to the new reward scheme which isn't possible yet :/
when dose the sale start and items are priced stars that people actually have
I can just about afford that Luigi Diorama, but it then means not getting any other prizes.
I don't think it'll be going anywhere, so I'm still biding my time for that Club NIntendo Farewell coin.
If only you could buy it with money.
@Undead_terror So true. Our Club Nintendo sucks.
@123akis The funny part... you'll eventually get that. This stuff, NA will never get.
Thanks a lot Club Nintendo NA....
....Whatever happened to Club Nintendo shutting down, or whatever? >.>
Had 5000 stars and used them on the lamp, sold the lamp for $120. Glad this is 7000 points, I was gutted when I heard this was going to be in available again as it was something that I would of loved. Glad to find I couldn't afford it anyway , not kicking myself now.
Um....I vor 8950 stars...I can get this or the Toad lamp. I like this a little more, but with 1950 stars left I probably cannot get anything else interesting. Always hoped for the ALBW-soundtrack to return. If it dies, I couldn't afford it, but probably it doesn't and I lose 500 stars by the end of August...
I've already got this, and it's the coolest Club Nintendo thing i ever got. NoA is really cheap with the rewards but i haven't had coins in a long time.
Man.... I was sorely disappointing with NA's Club Nintendo, but that Luigi's Diorama, just pisses me off! The Diorama was originally 1200 coins in NA and it sold out within a couple days before I even saw it, so I never even had the chance to get one. So when the club was shutting down, I held on to my coins in hope that the diorama would come back and nope.... NA gave us a few physical rewards and a ton of digital games at the beginning and then it was crickets until it closed down. I know some people are happy with digital games, but If I was interested in any of them in the first place, I would have bought them already... I wanted Nintendo memorabilia and not games that I don't physically have....
sigh I'll never get my hands on that oh so lovely Luigi's Mansion diorama sigh
Kinda sucks I have points still but I don't want wallpapers or ring tones or silly little things this ment to be rewards for loyalty to customer isn't fare they taking our points away, I also have gratis points cards came in my bayonetta box set and I can't use code says they expired and it's not even September pff, do they really care for us honestly :/
I already got both of them the first time.
So... when is the new reward program comming? I've bought a fair amount of games since CN...
@jrob23 I have a feeling that Reggie is frustrated too, just how much say does he have?
Just glad I got the frikken Luigi diorama on ebay from a couple years back.
@Toad Definitely you can, just buy games with money that still have club cards and then use stars.
@GRex28 Thanks for the advice, but I'm actually in North America. I was thinking something along the lines of Nintendo selling this kind of merchandise directly via an online store.
I have 6001 points left (I'd lost over 2,500 points with expired codes which I'd been saving in a drawer!).
Can't get the Diorama so hoping the 'goodbye' coin is under 6000 and doesn't sell out in seconds, when it finally arrives on the CN site!
