Mitchada04 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Pop badges are cheap, look tacky and are designed for kids who shouldn't be having pin badges due to the pin. Yet somehow they seem to have been hugely popular with enthusiasts and well everyone although they look awful and clutter lanyards. Anyone could make a pop badge, just buy the plastic shell, print out and sticker and boom done. It's nice for the kids but they're just tat in my eyes. Pin badges please and thank you.

Planning on completing the Thorpe collection, but not really fussed by any others.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 For obvious reasons, I only have Legoland ones. Two lions on my lanyard, and I have a LEGO City fireman and a Duplo giraffe spare. yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack F Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I am trying to complete the Thorpe set. I just need 3 more, and they are proving to be the hardest to find. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I have: Halloween hocus pocus 2014 vampire bubble works dragon falls 2008 doc lightning legoland scorpion express stealth hocus pocus bat I would like some of the glow in the dark lego ones, the angry birds one and the Thorpe Park my first coater one. hopefully I'll be able to pick them up on my next visits. For the most part I agree with scb in that they can be tacky and not visually pleasing, personally I much prefer pins on my lanyard, however these small collection of pop badges are exceptions to others!

Whatever Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I only have three really old ones; the middle is from 2009 and the others 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack F Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 They may be tacky, but they are free. I can't complain about that. Here is my collection after a trip to Chessington yesterday. I'd admit that I went a little bit crazy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Here's a few I acquired recently: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Some love em, some hate em. Personally, I like a couple of them but most of them are a bit eh. News!: http://www.legoland.co.uk/Explore/restaurants/Offers/Pop-Badges/ Looks like merlin parks are no longer letting you swap badges in parks that the badges aren't from I.e. if I went to a Legoland park with a Chessington pop badge they're not supposed to swap. hm.

Jack F Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Psst... There already is a Pop badge topic http://forum.maniahub.com/topic/10975-merlin-pop-badges/ And, they no trading other park policy is currently only in operation at Legoland. You may still be able to trade Legoland badges at Thorpe and Chessington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Topics merged. I can sort of see why Legoland would want to keep their pop badges local. Lego have been doing the pop badges for years, so there's plenty of ones to go around. Also, some of the kids who would be trading them would surely have no interest in the likes of Thorpe and some Chessington ones I'd assume? pognoi and Jack F 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Maybe, just maybe if they made a LUV MY COFFEE pop badge then there would at least be one pop badge everyone loves and I could clip it on over my eyes like goggles, or special VR pop badges!!!!

GladiatorFanKyle Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I have three pop badges from shrek and a legoland halloween glow in the dark pop badge which the operator of Tyrant boat ride gave me! I would really like a dungeon pop badge as it's my favourite attraction so would make sense to have a dungeon pop badge aha!!! I really like the pop badges they are an awesome idea!
