I got my Hawkins Police Department badge in a few days ago. Man! You weren't kidding. That thing is solid metal. It's got some heft to it. It looks amazing! I ordered a shoulder patch too.

My shoulder patch just shipped. Apparently the seller didn't get the notification that the sale had been made, but he shipped like 10 minutes after he responded to my message I sent him.


My Hopper name badge arrived yesterday, and my slingshot got here today. Once the patch arrives I'll be getting a little case to put all the Hopper stuff in, and then the display will be finished for now.

Okay, I got all of my Hopper stuff in now. If the weather isn't terrible tomorrow evening, I'll be heading to Michael's to try to find a nice shadow box type frame to mount these three items in so that I can set that frame on my shelf with my other stuff.

The patch is REALLY nice.

A seller on Etsy.

Easy to deal with, fast shipping, even threw in a few cool Star Wars stickers.

Domestic shipping was pretty cheap within the US . What was the cost to ship to Ireland? I haven't shipped international in ages. it cost so much and I always under price shipping costs for people.

it was nearly 14 euro for postage. paying 25 euro for one patch is way too much for me.

Alright guys, here is my Chief Hopper display that will be going on the shelf at the very back. It tucks in nicely behind/under the acrylic sign and ends up looking pretty sweet on the shelf.

Here's one. It's really difficult to get good shots of this because of the lighting and it's placement in the room I guess.

looking good so far but i think you need to add a 1983 eggo box direct from Kellogg's. well its the front part that you stick onto a newer eggo box but still looks the part.

Thanks guys.

I'm still on the lookout for the other two dinosaurs, but so far have had no luck at Walmart.

I also am eagerly awaiting season two...I'd like to add some more stuff to the display. In fact, there's an empty shelf directly below this one, so I can just add things there if need be. I think I mentioned it before, but RC stuff is my other hobby, so I'm really hoping for some great classic RC stuff to be thrown into the show...like an old RC10 or something. I'd LOVE to have an excuse to buy one of those and restore it!!
