Can't make up my mind. Which Club Nintendo item to get?

Ok, I have 890 Club Nintendo points (and another 50 come march) and I can't make up my mind. Hopefully someone can convince me on what to get. Currently I'm most interested in (no particular order)

• Game & Watch Collection
  • Unique game that can only be obtained through the Club Nintendo rewards, but it only has 3 games, and I don't know if it will hold my interest at all. (the japanese versions are listed for ~$40 on e-bay)
    
• Hanafuda Cards
  • They look really cool, but I don't know how to play and what it is like. Is it fun?
• Nintendo DS game card and DS stylus set
  • I have a case that holds 6 games and 1 stylus. This one is a lot bigger and wouldn't fit in my pocket, but it does hold 9 games.

someone make up my mind please.

 

The Game & Watch Collection was a major disappointment for me (although in retrospect, I'm not sure why I was expecting anything more). But, I was lucky to find a used-games shop willing to buy it from me for an excellent price. Still, not recommended.

Hanafuda cards might be kinda nice, I suppose. Certainly they would be a novelty if you live in a culture where the game is not normally played. Game history and rules are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanafuda

I have the DS card and stylus set. It is the same size as a DS game box, so yes generally too large too carry around. It sits on my shelf with my DS game boxes. Not a bad item, but since I keep it on the same shelf as my games anyway, I've stopped using it and just keep the games in their original boxes.

 

I recommend you wait for something better, or get the hanafuda cards if you are desparate for something now.
