Have a few cool Nintendo promo items I'm curious about N64/ GBC light-up sign, World of Nintendo globe sign, GC mat (?), and Toad cookie jar

I'm curious about a few items that have been sitting in my basement collecting dust.  
The first is a N64/ GBC double-sided light-up sign I obtained 2 years back (for $40, so either way I'm happy with the deal).  I actually posted this in the help wanted as well seeing as I need to replace the bulbs, yet I don't know how to get into it.  So please read that post if you think you can shed any light.

The second is a World of Nintendo Globe double-sided sign.  Both sides are identical.  Overall it's in good condition with minor blemishes and marks on it, yet nothing major and no cracks.  I know when I picked it up a year or so ago I saw one or two on ebay for around $200-300, but I don't know if that's accurate.

Third and fourth are items I'm very curious about: I bought a giant lot from a collector a few months back and received both of these pieces in it.  
The Gamecube promo is still in plastic and looks to never have been opened.  I took a second up-close picture of it to try to capture the detail; it appears to be a mat used at the entrance of a game store perhaps?  It is the rubber material as some car mats.  It has many small gamecube logos that stick out from the mat.  It's pretty awesome, and I'm thinking of sticking it under my gamecube kiosk or something, but I'm hesitant to open it until I know exactly what it is.  I have found NOTHING about it online. 
The Toad cookie jar is equally as awesome and mysterious.  I know there are 4 in the set (Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and the mushroom man).  When you open the jar it sounds off a glorious tune.  I also have the original box.  Both the cookie jar and box are in mint, unused condition.  I saw one previous listing on ebay for the single Toad for $200 that sold, and a listing for the entire set for $1000.  I don't remember if those included the boxes or not, and if the pricing is accurate.

Thanks in advance to anyone that has any idea about these items!  Sorry for the lengthy description.

EDIT:  After battling with technology, I have posted all the pictures.  Sorry for the additional post for the rest of the pictures.  I was having problems with the OP.  Also, photobucket was being an asshole and not loading my edits, so my bad about the mat and globe being upside down.

The jar and the mat came out of the most impressive (and expensive) collection I have ever obtained.  I sold 95% of the lot off, yet kept a few things.  The jar was the first item out of the lot that I said "yeah I'm keeping you for sure".

As far as the globe sign is concerned they sell between $300-600 normally. Lately they seem to be down a bit in price from what they used to.

I'm tempted to record the jingle when you open it up and post it on here.

I've had several inquiries about them.  I'm open to offers if you'd like to PM me, but I really am just trying to get prices on the items here. XD

"When you open the jar it sounds off a glorious tune"

Pretty sure you mean the Mario theme, but what tune are you referring to?
