I bought both Poster sets. Be warned though, the tubes they use aren't great, and as a result, all three of my Mario posters have a bit of damage.

I say the cards. Thought i have no idea what hanafuda is. Cards look really slick though.

I would go for the Game and Watch collection games or Hanafuda cards and get posters on eBay to save coins. :)

I think the hanafuda cards look like the best option right now. If you want to play G&W just get the G&W Gallery games.

I got an email from Nintendo stating that the club year is coming to an end (June 30th). I'm already elite status. Do my coins need to be spent before June 30th or I'll lose them? I hope not because I don't see anything in particular that I want.

Your coins roll-over, so you don't need to cash them in for anything. But in order to reach elite status next year, you'll have a year to accumulate 500 (i think) coins starting on July 1st. You're good.

That's good to know. I have some post-purchase surveys waiting for me to fill out but I'll do them after July 1st to get the points for next year.

Coins only last for two years after the season they're cashed for is over, though. I've got 600 or so that I need to spend.

I just received the Hanafuda cards, and they are easily the best prize I've gotten outof the Game and Watch Collection, Mario posters, pin, and cap. Not only do they look cool and are a nod to Nintendo's history, but the game Koi Koi is fun if you take the time to learn it.
