Just logged into my account and had a quick check to see if the Wavebird and GBA had been addded. Yes, they have :D I was looking forward to collecting a few more stars to get one (maybe). This is where I felt a little worried that I would never get one through my stars. There are only 50 Wavebirds to give away and now there are only 49. There are only 25 GBA's to give away and there are still 25 left. I don't think many people on here will be getting their Wavebird as hoped :(
Oh well maybe sometime next year they will do somthing similar.

Humm...

Not to worry, theres still something else they haven't told us about, and I'm sure they will add more stock for them every 6 months or something.

Oh, and apparently, soon you'll get Stars for clicking the links in e-mails, for posting on the forums etc etc. It's the new 'Phase 2' mentioned in the letter.

Nintendo.co.uk is really beginning to be a superb website.

Make sure you log in from the 'Home' page. The page it starts on isn't actually the home page (strangely) so make sure you click Home on the links bar.

I knew something like this would happen. First they make you buy the games and get all the stars and then you can't get the prize. Damn!

I dont think anybody is being screwed, we dont have to buy the games, no-one makes us, but we do so cos we want to own the games, no-one is gonna deliberately go and buy 10 Ninendo games just so they get 2500 stars and im sure Nintendo are fully aware of that.

I dont care too much for the 'free' gifts that theyre offering cos i realistically know that i wont get 4500 for a wavebird before stocks run out so it dont bother me, besides if i wanted a wavebird that bad theres noting stopping me buying one, its not like theyre only available via the stars catalogue.

Im just enjoying my games that i bought irrespective to any promotions and will continue to do so :)
