I might as well highlight it.  It's something cool created by a member of the community.

Very cool! These look great, I'm looking forward to putting them up in my office

I'm honestly shocked you can afford to make these so cheaply, I doubt anyone here would mind paying a little more money considering how nice these look. I might pick some up when I finally get some disposable income again. Seconding GTA/PVE/GTI pins. What about squadrons? Those would be super cool as well.

Sales are certainly picking up, which is excellent news! Because this means I will be able to push for new products to offer! Squadron patches or pins are something I was also looking into.
Logistically, I needed to grow eyes on the existing three pins before expanding, otherwise I end up blowing all my money on merchandise that may or may not sell. But I am also trying to keep them cheap for others to buy, as the average pin looks to go for $10-15, whereas mine are $5-6. (It started because I wanted an SOC badge for myself. lol)
It is cool seeing where some of these pins are travelling to, such as Germany or Portugal.

Hope the Facebook mention helped.  You're doing the community a service bud.

I believe it did, thanks! Interest has been building over the months, so the help is greatly appreciated.

Attention pilots! The 53rd Hammerheads have arrived! Fly today!

Thanks for the patience. With the poll, you decided you wanted squadron patches, and though it took a while, what better way to begin than with the 53rd Hammerheads!

This is a 3 inch (2.54cm) circular velcro patch in military style.

Belated congrats, I'll be sure to put it on the FB page (well the one I have sway over at least)

[Muninn_Crow]

Thanks. I appreciate it!

Legit question: are you planning to introduce fanmade factions and squadrons, such as the Earth Alliance from Inferno?

[Muninn_Crow]

Personally, I'd love to. But it also amounts to buyer interest, as well as permissions by those development teams.
It's the former, that buyer interest, that proves the tricky part, since I still have a ton of pins and patches stored away awaiting new homes. As long as there is genuine interest (not Poll And Forget), I'm onboard with getting new stuff made. Prices are well below what'd be profitable for me (Example: Hard Enamel pins generally go for $12-$15, and I'm selling them for $5), but it's more a hobby in support of the community anyway.

With the new job I just got approved for yesterday (BAE Systems! Woo!), I'm not worried about recovering what I put into these patches and pins.


You'd be amazed how many of the patches and pins were because someone messaged me on Etsy with an inquiry.
