Yoshi Plush ~ Can't Decide :/

[spamurai]

So Club Nintendo have this super adorable Yoshi Doll available for 5000 stars.
I have finally managed to save up 5150 stars but I really can't decide whether or not to get it...

It's really cute and they rarely update they're store, but I know as soon as I spend my stars, something cooler will turn up xD Probably something for the Pokemon release...

Would you guys get Yoshi, or wait?

Here's a picture anyway... How cute is this

 

[Sholee]

damn it why does EU nintendo rewards get all the good stuff. NA rewards are horrible. How long did it take to get 5,000 stars? and what is it you're waiting for? a game? I've seen a lot of yoshi plush in stores before, so it's not exactly unique. It's cute but i say wait to see if something releases for pokemon.

i got it, just because club nintendo AUS is **** and never has anything decent but that actually seemed nice. I never spend my stars on anything anyway

>all the good stuff

I'll list off all the stuff currently in the EU Star Catalogue (at least in my country).

Spoiler

- Yoshi Plush
- Yoshi Backpack
- Power-up Pouch to store handheld system in (either gray, blue or light blue)
- Super Mario Galaxy OST
- Wristband for Wii Remote
- NES Classic Notebooks (Mario & Link)
- Foam Decorations (Mario, Luigi & Bowser, Paper Mario styled)
- Pikmin Fruit Keyholders (Red & Yellow Pikmin)
- Relaxation Set (Luigi or Peach - blanket and eye mask basically)
- Nintendo Favorites Foam Decorations (Link, Peach, Mario & Hammer Bro)
- Nintendo DS Accessory Case (pink)
- Nintendo Points Card (100, 300, 500, 1000) - you know, those points for the WII AND DS ESHOPS WHICH ARE DOWN
- Yoshi Cleaning Cloth (pink)
- Game & Watch: Ball
- DS Lite Value Pack (Super Mario styled)

As you can see, it's fairly ****. This plush is the first new thing they've added in months.

Whaaat? That's adorable!! Look at him with his lil yoshfruit. *insert heart eye emoji here*

Also the site says "Give Yoshi a home today"...I don't think you could say no!

better than 8 eshop games, a minigame, 2 card sets, a patch set, and a poster set than NA has (and has had all the physical items for ages)

also uh

>Mario Galaxy OST

argument invalid

Which games are they?

Also there used to be more OSTs in the selection, as well as a SNES-styled Wii controller, all kinds of pretty neat stuff. Now it's just poop. Sure, there's a Super Mario Galaxy OST, but after getting that and still having half of your stars left, what are you gonna do?
You could also just download it.

 

[LambdaDelta]

owning physical is better imo

and uh

literally the only OST NA got was Majora's Mask, and only as an elite reward so


also games are

outdated

literally, just noticed "Until Sep 7"


NoA confirmed for not caring

I thought EU didn't get that many cool items... Especially compared to Japan's Club Nintendo anyway.
I'm not sure what NA has to offer though.

It's taken me like 4 years I think, give or take, because I've bought a couple of other stuff and haven't bought many Nintendo games/consoles in the last couple of years.
I bought a Nintendo Mug like 8 years ago which used up most of my stars xD I still have it and use it though

Well, I dunno really what I'm waiting for, But I'd prefer something Animal Crossing/Zelda related or something old skool/retro.
But if I wait, then they probably won't update the store again for ages.
The last time they updated it was with Mario Kart 8 I think.

A couple of years ago they did have a Link Statue, it was so cool; it was like 15000 stars though lol.

Here is what's currently available:

What card sets are they?
I wouldn't mind eShop games... Or even eShop credit would be cool

I have mostly things from the Japanese Club Nintendo, cos they have the best stuff.

 

[Sholee]

and now for out horrible NA rewards

 

[LambdaDelta]

I want to point out the "Until Sep 7" to everyone on the eshop games

 

[spamurai]

and now for out horrible NA rewards

Starfox 64 though :O Awesome game!!

I wouldn't mind the Animal Crossing Post Set, just to add it to my AC collection. Seems pretty cool.

I don't even think EU have had any AC items yet... Both JPN and NA have :/

Sounds familiar xD

Just the EU ones is randomly restocked but no notifications or emails are sent out.
So you're lucky if you visit the page and it has new items and you have enough stars lol

Buy ittttttt

It is cute, I must admit...
I wish it was a Stitches plush lol

 

[Vile]

This is the only reason why I'd say to hold off on the Yoshi plush. Apparently it's been up on the store for a while, so rarity isn't an issue.

I happened to purchase the Luigi's Mansion diorama in the small window it was available because I had been sitting on coins forever in total disinterest of the current rewards. It sold out super quick and now you're lucky to find one on eBay for less than $100!
