Shiny Buttons!

If you've seen me walking around with one of my two messenger bags (probably at a convention) then you know of all the buttons in my collection. But since I probably only have one bag with me, you haven't seen all of them! And if you haven't met me then you're missing out on this spectacle. The collection started with buttons for sale from anime conventions' Artist Alleys, and have expanded thanks to comic shops and other events.

 

I've got a pretty nifty button collection:

And that's not everything! I also have a handful of buttons on my lanyard at work (Barnes and Noble) featuring things we sell, like a LEGO pin, "Don't Panic," Ravenclaw crest, TFIOS clouds, and a TARDIS button.

 

Not to mention that my old computer is decked out with all kinds of stickers (Relient K, Hogwarts crest, LEGO logo, and even a Stargate SG-1 patch). The only reason I haven't put new stickers on my new laptop is because I've been collecting so many that now they won't all fit!

 

The buttons are always a conversation starter and I'm always looking for more. In fact, I already have a couple of new ones! SO MANY!

 

Yes, I'll be at BrickFair so you can ogle at a bag (and donate to its contents ;) ).

All I have is a Princess Celestia button I bought at Cloudsdale Congress last year. I wear it on my hat in the winter. My brother has a matching Princess Luna button.

 

I somewhat wish I could get my hands on more LEGO accessories like buttons and wristbands, but the stuff on sale at LEGO conventions usually doesn't really speak to me, and the LEGO Group doesn't put out much of their own wearable merchandise besides T-shirts and costume supplies. Even my trip to LEGOLAND Florida proved rather fruitless in that regard, which was a bit disappointing (though obviously the trip as a whole was still barrels of fun).

If I sold stuff as a vendor, I'd love to have a box of LEGO buttons (made from catalogs and instructions). Unfortunately a button maker costs ~$600 (which includes some button materials at the ready), so getting any profit off of that won't happen until probably the second convention (being optimistic my supply and demand price and inventory is good).
