Before Nintendo Power
Does anybody remember those Nintendo Fun Club newsletters that cameout before Nintendo Power was published, or maybe even still have some? There were only seven of those newsletters published and they're rather rare now. I recently won a set of six of those newsletters in an auction on eBay. Reading them was wicked nostalgic.
Apparently the first NFC newsletter is the rarest one. I recently read about one of them being auctioned on eBay in 2002. I think it started off for 99 cents, and ended with a finishing bid of $1025. Hopefully I can somehow manage to get one to complete my collection. I even also have every NP issue. Of course, I had to get some back issues from eBay to complete it.

Re: Before Nintendo Power
I've been getting NP's for a long time now. I love them. 
I think my first issue was number 94 or 95...the one with Blast Corps on the front of it. And I have every volume put out sense then.

Re: Before Nintendo Power
I have a Zelda OoT special of Club Nintendo. My dad found them in a shop, for free I think.  I once scanned the comic in it for you, remember?

Re: Before Nintendo Power
I have all of them from when DKC was released up until PD was released I think... I believe I threw most of them out by now though.
