"Nintendo stars- the 'limited stock'"

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.

It's a clever marketing scheme by Nintendo. But the way I see it the only people who will get screwed are those who decide to go out and buy a bunch of games just because they have a VIP card in them to get more stars. People who just bought the games they wanted regardless of stars or not will lose nothing, and may infact get anough stars for a free gift.

And I reckon stocks of free gifts will either be refilled, or as one free gift runs out others will be added. This reward scheme seems like something for the long term to me, rather than something to get everyone talking about it for a month or two then it disappearing once the initial free gifts are gone...

I don't think that I will be able to get enough stars in time to get the Wavebird.
