The Most Disheartening Part of the Monthly Keyblade Series

Had a trip planned this week for a while so missed the drop of the Kingdom Key last week and was hoping to try and trade someone for it the last few days around the Parks.

When seeing the pin in people’s collection, I would often ask if they were interested in selling their “Kingdom Key” and they would have no idea what I was talking about. It seems they just know it as “That Kingdom Hearts Pin.”

I fully understand people trying to leverage those pins into something else later. However, as a person who has spent over half of his life trying to understand the plot of those games, it is depressing feeling like most of them have ended up being bought and sold by people who primarily see the monetary value they bring.

If anything, it has been nice to talk to people about the games and see if we can introduce a whole new set of people to such a fun piece of my childhood.

If you need me, I’ll just be hoping the demand dies down and I don’t have to shell out half my pin collection for one.

I guess that means I’ll still be ISO Kingdom Key for now.
