Hello everyone, long time, no posts for me but I think I can help with one issue.
I was lucky enough to find a Nintendo Power #163 on ebay which was still sealed in the original plastic bag. The reason it was sealed in the bag is that between the back cover and the seal were two items that I haven't seen mentioned in this thread. It has an insert with an Animal Crossing e-reader card attached, it's a promo card with "NES LINK" on it in addition to "PR" in a corner of either the front or back of the card. The other item included inside the sealed issue is the Gamecube Preview DVD.
It all started by trying to find the promo NES LINK Animal Crossing e-reader card for my collection which at the time, was going for a lot of money loose, not even attached to the paper insert. So, I did some research online and found out that it was included with a Nintendo Power issue which I later found out was #163. I then sent a message to everyone on ebay that was selling the magazine and not only did nobody have it but I was told a number of times that the magazine didn't look like anything was missing and questioned if I was sure it was included with the issue. I actually wasn't absolutely sure but I then checked completed ebay listings and someone had it sealed with a picture of the back showing not only the Animal Crossing card but also the GameCube DVD that I didn't even know about. I asked them if I could buy it but they wanted to relist and did so at $9.99 with free shipping on a one week auction. I had my snipe set up and thought I wouldn't even have a chance but I ended up being the only bid and got the sealed zine for 10 bucks shipped.
GREAT DEAL!
I hope this helps someone out. I still have the Nintendo Power sealed so I can confirm with no doubt that not only did this issue come sealed in a plastic bag but it included the two items mentioned above. The pictures shown are of the two items that are included with issue #163.
Does anyone know why there was an alternate cover for Issue #68?
All of the copies I've ever had came with the "Bonus Issue" cover, but I noticed a few copies on ebay missing the Bonus cover and guessed they might be newsstand copies.
Just a correction I believe, but the cover of Issue 6 is not Manhattan Project. It's the original TMNT game
Issue 33 is the Manhattan cover.
Updated, thank you for catching that

Sorry Also I don't think keeping track of subscriber inserts would be very time effective for me I feel it's a very minimal thing to keep track of that would be very tedious to organize. By all means if you want to though, feel free to post your findings here.
There's no evidence of a mailing label on either magazine.
I've got the (pop-up)poster preserved in a sleeve with the Issue on the left (not sure if the one on the right came with the poster). It folds out from the left and right sides. The pic below is what it looks like opened.
Issue # 128 has a alternate cover not presented in the list.
Added, thank you!

Added, thank you!
Been meaning to put these in the list as well. Issue 120 has 4 variant covers as well.... (if anyone can tell me who's racer is whos I'll list them out)
Thank you to all that are still keeping this thread in mind! I'd say easily one of the best resources on the matter
Nintendo Power poster book. 40 posters from the DS, WII era. Only problen, its put together like a magazine. You have to take the whole book apart to get a poster out.

I have a couple of those and there is a cover variant too!
First post on these forums. Nice thread, just was in search of some info regarding one of the back issues.
In Vol 185, there is a Paper Mario: TTYD poster listed. Does anyone have a picture of that, and also the dimensions? I'd hope they're not one of those odd sizes. It's been a long while since I had NP magazines, but I came across someone on another forum who posted a TTYD poster, and it looked cool. Couldn't even find it via Google Images or anything. They said it was perforated, and had crease lines so it must have come from some sort of book.

Edit: the chart by shortstop444 has it correct, but the OP and daillest have it wrong.

I subscribed to Nintendo power and the free gift (strategy guide) I selected was out of stock, so they sent me this instead.

I was wondering if anyone knows from which NP issue these come from (or could be ordered from)?
Thanks!
EDIT: Found it.
