Thank you! Something about this collection. Maybe it's the colors or the theme, very addictive!

I would say both!

I was the kid that always wanted to go to Space Camp, but never got to go. I wanted to be a pilot. I was a huge fan of the X-Files, too, so the I Believe patch caught my eye. And being a Dr. Who fan, I'm amused the blue color is called River. And, I have a few other connections to NASA through friends and my alma mater. This collection, for me, was really something I had to have :amuse:. My wallet wishes I was less sentimental.:amazed:

My daughter went to Space Camp with her class. I think it was wasted on her. I would have loved it.
 
So I returned the yellow Dinkier and ordered the rexy hang tag and black zip card case. I asked the SA about inventory and she showed me how many pieces were in the system as available. The black zip card case showed only like 55 in stock, The rexy jetpack charm (that I really want but I've already spent too much) showed only 8 (don't know if that is truly very limited or they are going to make more, I saw that a few new pieces were added to the collection) I also asked about the Varsity Jacket and she showed that a couple of sizes were out of stock. I also asked if floor models ever get sold at a sale price but she said no. (is this true?) Also if anyone is still on the fence about the rainbow space shuttle charm, get it. It is beautiful in person. I don't need it since my Rogue has the patch and it is enough for me.

I'm on the fence about the rainbow space shuttle charm because I think it is just too big. I haven't seen it IRL and I really don't want to order it and have to send it back.

Hi Whateve, kudos to you for calling the rainbow space shuttle charm exactly what it is. It's a space shuttle, not a rocket!! I've been wanting to shout that out, but you did it first!! LOL!! I did see it in person and it is quite large, but very cute.

So I found out that some of the patch designs may have been stolen from independent shops and creators. In particular the saturn patch design. I hope the artist got some kind of credit but it is unlikely. Its a bummer to see large corporations do this. This is the artist https://mokuyobi.com/ View attachment 3711929

While very similar, I wouldn't say stolen. The universe is what it is and if you look at enough renderings of it you will find many of them to be very similar to one another.
