I recently got a couple emails from Nintendo.com... one stating that they got my order, and another saying that my order shipped. I haven't ordered anything from them recently tho. I looked at my account and under "My Orders" there's an order for "KIT, FEM GENERIC MNQN HAND DS PROMO $0.00". They even have a UPS tracking number for this. Anyone know what this promo is?

Not that I mind or anything; I love random free stuff.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say its spam/scamming/fakery. I get stuff like that from other websites too.

I don't see how that can be when I'm getting this information from my account on the Nintendo.com website. Unless you're saying Nintendo is send me spam via UPS.

It sounds like the DS promo mannequin hand.

Oh ok I didn't see the Mannequin hand part. More power to you. Now what to do with the free hand?

It is the mannequin hand. I have the same thing on the way, and I already have an idea for the video I think I'll make with it.

Muhaha.

Good question... maybe I should think about these things first before I sign up for them. :-k

How did you end up getting that? Do they send it if you register a DS with Nintendo?

Maybe the hands will become rare/valuable?

Nope, it's actually part of a contest to get a Nintendo DS.

Yea I also got the shipping confirmation a couple days ago. Nice strange little collectable if you aren't going to enter the contest.
