Time for your next medal: Console Wars Veteran II photo

Supermandolini wants me to be poor (yet stylish). That's the only explanation I can come up with for their Console Wars medal series, which I lost my my mind over back in January. It's since become one of my most-worn pins, and I can't begin to count the number of comments people have made about it, especially when I wear it with a military-inspired jacket.

The second in the series is simply called Console Wars Veteran II, and this one displays a Sony Playstation 2 controller amidst stripes of black, gold and blue. It's the same price as the original (€18.00, about $36 US) and can be ordered through the Supermandolini website. Like real military medals, they of course look even better as a set ... damn you, Supermandolini, for making my once embarassing hobby so chic!

Hmm, do I order these now, or wait for the inevitable 3rd series and get them all at once? Decisions..decisions...

Lysergio is wearing his cranky pants.

Is is just me or is $36US stinking steep for a pin?

Yeah mix, it's steep. I almost bought a pin from my school's hockey team but I didn't be cause it was too expensive. It was 6 bucks.

It's not that much if you live in the uk or mainland europe. I never bothered with the last pin, but I do own the nerdcore t shirt from the site. Swanky Pie indeed.

I think Colette is employed by the government just to make me spend money to help the economy!
