I wondered why my Zelda 25th posters hadn't come yet...

Hope they get more of those game cases as well.

I can answer this one!

I got my set of posters in early january and then, a few weeks ago, I got an e-mail from club nintendo pointing out the there was an art error on one of the posters (that I hadn't noticed) and notifying me that they were sending me a replacement copy in the mail.

The backlog from the posters is probably because of that -- they're probably sending replacements to all the people who have the one with the error first before getting back to fulfilling new orders.

Is there an error on the posters? The posters were out of stock in Japan as well for awhile. I finally managed to snag mine about 2 weeks ago, though I haven't actually opened the package yet to look at them.

I'm surprised that games don't come with points though. In Japan all Nintendo games on DS/3DS/Wii games come with Nintendo points no matter who made the game. Games do have a 2 year time limit to redeem the points. Hardware doesn't have that limit. I bought a used Gameboy Micro (Famicom ver.) about 2 years ago and the former owner hadn't registered the points, so I was able to redeem them myself. You can't redeem them for games though.

I'm waiting for the card case to come back in stock so I can order one.
