I just ordered the Club nintendo platinum gift and it is a whole bunch of pins ( Witch I think is pretty cool) But then it said that The order will be dispatched before the end of December... That basically means that it will be shipped around December! I dont want to wait that long, I have already been waiting a year! Way to go Nintendo!

This is clearly your first year at Club Nintendo. If Nintendo does this again like the years in the past then it should start shipping around late October or early November.

Heh, yeah. I got last years reward in November. It actually arrived the same day Assassins Creed Brotherhood was released.

Don't worry, you'll get the reward. Club Nintendo just likes to take its sweet time.

Yep. I think that Nintendo is being a GIANT HUGE ROLLING TURD!
Take that Nintendo... I'm sorry Nintendo but I must say... You fail so hard!

Why would you complain about getting something free, yah it will take a long time for it to get to your house! So instead of crying about it, go do something to keep you occupied! Nintendo isn't the ones making stay on the computer or your 3DS 24/7!

It's not like we can do anything with the pins that we need them right now anyway. Unless you are really excited to put them all over all of your clothes.

This is probably for production purposes.

The wait was the same last year too, it is not like it is anything new. In my opinion, you should be glad you even got it.

This is probably right. They want to know how many orders there are before making them all, to avoid shortages or making too many. Or at least, that is what I think.

In my band, I design and order buttons, 100 per set. The price I get is about 24.00 shipped. I'm sure nintendo has better deals.

You may be able to make them on a button maker, they may be hokey, but they are still free and collectible.

Least you get something, for club nintendo AU different statuses don't even exist,
you only get star points to buy things..
