While this thread has been dead for quite some time, I thought I’d revive it with something pretty cool I received this afternoon.
I’m sure most of you probably know DMR, or the Disney Movie Rewards program. Anytime you purchase a Disney DVD/Blu-Ray, CD, or even see a Disney film, you can earn reward points towards cool items. Coincidentally, the only two items I’ve ever redeemed from the program are both related to Up.
Which brings me to why I’m posting: Back in August, DMR put up some new items - including a replica Grape Soda/Ellie Badge. I freaked out, and unfortunately didn’t have enough points to redeem it, and by the time I did - it was too late, and they were out of stock. I was devastated, and thought that was that.
While redeeming points for a movie a bit over a week ago, I checked around to see if there were any items worth redeeming, when lo and behold, I saw that the Ellie Badge was back in stock. I redeemed it immediately, and the package showed up in my mailbox today.
The box (outside of the shipping envelope, obviously.) that it came in. It’s gorgeous in person.
The pin whilst inside the box.
The badge itself! I honestly teared up once I got to see/hold it in my hands. I’ve dreamed about owning an Ellie Badge since the day I saw the film.
This surprised me - I thought it would hook via the safety pin, but it doesn’t. The pin is also incredibly heavier then I thought it’d be - I guess because it’s not a real soda cap.
I’m pretty sure they’re still in stock, so if you’re sitting on DMR Points, or you have had no use/need to redeem them, I’d say this is a great item to get! Definitely made my week.
