As many of you know, I have a wonderful boyfriend who indulges my Disney obsession like a champ. He's said several times that he's not interested in pin collecting, but he enjoys watching me enjoy it so much.

With the HM pickups project, he offered to be another trading option and donned a few spare HMs on his backpack. Well, he ended up trading for a Stitch pin and sheepishly asked if he could keep it. As his own forever. XD it was too adorable to turn down. But he was quick to add that he WAS NOT starting a collection. #famouslastwords

A while ago, we saw Rogue One and Bf absolutely loved it. He said Cassian was his favorite SW character ever (Shhhhhhhhhhh it's okay R2...) and was really impressed with the whole shebang. Fast forward to the Star Wars Celebration a few weeks ago. As the flood of awesome pins was hitting pretty hard, I showed him the awesome Cassian pin from the Rouge One set. He really liked it. Like, reeeeeeaaaaallly liked it. A while later he was like, "Hey, what was that pin called again?" And I heard the old familiar slow-scroll of an eBay shopper. XD I didn't say anything about it, just figured it best to let him get it out of his system.

Today, I bring in my bundle of packages and slide him two, spying the ebay logo on the label. "Hey, what did you..."

RIIIIIIIP!!

Dink.... Dink....

And there they were. In all their glory. My bf's first pin mail....

I'm not sure who was happier. Me or him. XD Either way, he admitted that he wanted to be a "solo Cassian" completist (meaning he only wanted pins of Cassian by himself). I tried to explain that that's no really how a completist works... But he just kind of glared at me...

SO ANY WAY! LONG STORY SHORT! BF needs only one more solo Cassian pin to be a "completist" ;P here it is:

If you have it for trade, let me know, and feel free to check my traders :) . Bf says he's "already over spent his pin budget" XD so just trading for now.

Thanks for reading. :D

Fully support the idea of a stitch collection. You'll have to let us know when he gets his own account Merlin.

And rightfully so. :p You can define a collection any way you want. He's absolutely right!

Congrats on infecting... I mean adding another collector to the hobby. :)
 
Cool story and pins!
Have to get back to you bout that pin, will check around. Hopefully I can help.....get back to you over the weekend.
 
Ha! Right now he's just a recreational pin trader. With your support (enabling?) he'll be addicted in no time. ;)
 
Well, Merlin, I've checked DTD and part of DLR n CA ADV and no luck, funny thing is they have the other characters in stock, BF has either picked a very popular character or they didn't reorder him? Sorry wished I had found him for you.
