I'm on the European Club Nintendo and have 10,450 points, and about 4,000 I've not got round to registering yet. The Link statue is 15,000 points and I'm tempted... tell me - would you?

btw: for a wii we get 1,000 points, a wii game we get 250 points, ds lites 500 points, ds games 200 points - just for some perspective to the American Club Nintendo system
