160 coins into the new year! I am going to stop at 400 because I know some surveys that I want will have to be done this year (Skyward Sword for the Orchestral CD etc...)
EDIT: Gold! 340 coins in!
EDIT: I got carried away! 530 into the new year.
On top of the 800 I earned last year (I have a few accounts, so I did get some prizes, but not from my main account...), with the new 530, I had 1330. I ordered the Game & Watch: Ball for 1200 (yikes....). I wanted it last year, but I didn't want to prematurely redeem too many coins. It would be a waste to prematurely register items for future Platinum prizes. I am glad I made that choice! I did take the risk of them selling out though, but I am very glad they didn't! It will fit nice inside of my red pouch, and next to my 2 DS Game & Watch compilation packs!
I hope that some other Japan Platinum prizes come our way (even if they are overpriced) like the Game & Watch: Ball (Platinum prize in Japan 2009) did!
