    Oh sweet, I was in the market for a messenger bag made in the US, and now I have access to a cool-looking one that doesn't cost $300? My day is made.

    I didn't notice if someone said it earlier: the new Golden Sun is up for Intend to Buy.
    Someone on GAF said they bought 2 of each bag. How many goddamn games does one have to buy to get that many points? Jeez.

    Man, I've hit elite status twice and I probably haven't registered half of my eligible games (because I don't want their coins or surveys to expire). If I registered it all right now I might be able to buy multiple bags.


    Goddamn. And I thought I bought alot of games.

    I hope the messenger bag is decent, I have been sitting on 800 points for over a year now, I am not much for fans and pins and posters and the like, but a messenger bag is right up my alley.

    A messenger bag is way more useful than, say, a fabric box for holding Wii remotes.

    Anyways, this weekend I found the little page where it says what games you registered and realized I was missing a couple. New Super Mario Bros (DS) still worked but sadly Mario vs. DK 2 "no longer awards coins" or something. Bah. My fault for slacking I guess.

    Eee. I wonder how many I've been saving no longer work? Guess I should go through and register my older ones... think Super Princess Peach, Yoshi's Island DS, and M&L: Partners in Time are still good?

    I wish it would just be as simple as "buy Nintendo, get coins, save coins until there is something you want." I hate all this race-the-clock stuff for anything beyond status memberships.

    I'm guessing no since MvDK2 didn't work. But worth a try anyways. I think the only reason NSMB worked was because it's such a huge title that they don't want to punish people who maybe just picked up a DS new and grabbed that game. I would guess maybe Mario Kart DS still works too, and a handful of other older titles that are still really popular.


    Anyways, anyone here get the Zelda posters and frame them? I'm curious what people used for the history one which is 16.5"x28.7" (aka not even close to standard frame size).

    I framed everything but the history posters. (Mario/Zelda) The only thing I can imagine is getting a larger frame and matting the edges, but then you'll get more space on the top and bottom or sides so it'll look lop-sided (Unless someone knows of a decent frame size that fits that aspect ratio so it doesn't look too goofy.)

    I personally have toyed around with the idea of filling the top and bottom emptiness with a collage or boxart or something.

    I might have to get that Bag. I'm sitting on 890 coins. The G&W titles are tempting but I kind of wanted something more tangible, not to mention apparently the G&W titles are crap.

    Just bought the Messenger Bag. I did it almost exclusively because of it being a messenger bag. I need something with which to carry my documents when I go to the hospital where I work ad honorem. I'm thinking of getting another one when I get enough coins so I have one that isn't potentially contaminated with germs :P

    Crap the messenger bag is out of stock. Im sitting on about 1200 coins, 450 or so of those will expire next summer and the messenger bag was the perfect thing, guess I'll just wait for it to come back.

    Well, it looks like they made more Super Princess Peach, as I still see that being sold new now and again... I think I might have seen Yoshi's Island DS being restocked as well, but I'm less sure of that. Still, maybe I have some time on those...

    The size of the box it comes in is pretty misleading about the statue's size, but that's okay because the box itself is awesome

    And the 6" ones, and also the big ones that are like a foot and a half tall.

    That's what I was guessing. They look like the same style.
