My Gek has arrived!
So I assume the Traveller will have their voyage at another time?
Not sure why the article calls it a four-LP album, but I sure am looking forward to it…
Maybe they were counting both sides of the 2XLP ![]()
I should have known. The Gek is having a meet up with a local Nip Nip dealer. There aren’t many reasons for wandering that far off the main road.
Insert Coin just restocked their enamel pins. Wonder if that means they might do another run of the other two?
Oh where oh where
Has my little Gek gone?
Oh where oh where
Can he be?
With a scent that smells
Like a candy store
Oh where oh where
Can he be?
I actually forgot about my Gek… We’ll have to start putting out missing posters.
I found out the hard way today that the NMS Insert Coin Jacket is not water proof ![]()
It’s also when I discovered it’s 100% polyester/hand wash only
been a while since I had to hand wash some clothes but looking forward to it.
Edit:
Just got a message from our postal service saying the geks due for delivery next working day. Hope yours turns up soon @sheralmyst
So @toddumptious , I went thru my email that confirmed my purchase and was able to have it send me a new link for order status. That gave me a link to the carrier bringing my plushie over from China
My Gek just set sail a few days ago…
poor guy. Hope he isn’t seasick
I also ordered a Traveller plushie. It only says confirmed. I assume this just confirms I have ordered it…maybe I will get it in time for the 10 year NMS anniversary
Now I know how settlers felt waiting for a letter from home c. 1792…
I know @DevilinPixy is also waiting on the Traveller which has not shipped, maybe it was the more popular item and has a larger manufacturing queue than the gek. Speaking of the little mite, he came knocking at my door this very morning.
Sackboy is delighted to finally have a friend
This particular sackboy is very unique and special, none of the official merch even came close to this standard which was a shame, because I wanted more sackboys. But the official merch was horrible plastic mold or just not shaped right in plush form.
Where did he come from? He was hand made by a family member of a Media Molecule Dev over a year before the game released.
YouTube was a new thing at the time, not freshly new but new in the sense it was becoming a legitimate place for companies to reach consumers.
Media Molecule just announced they were starting a YouTube page, and to get the initial wave of subs, offered free gifts to the first 100 people to sign up and send them a message (I don’t even think you can message a channel like this anymore? Or maybe it was an email with your address and a proof of sub? I can’t recall how they got our addresses tbh).
The first wave got these hand made sack boys and then I think they opened it up a bit so anyone after the initial surge got some badges sent out too.
A company giving away free stuff of high quality? Is that even done anymore? It feels like these days companies sell us the idea that we should be so lucky to join their elite tier subscriptions or have access to their products at all.
Long story short, this sackboy is never leaving me, I’ll be buried with it, it’s such a unique artefact ![]()
It took me 11 hours to realise both game studios are based out of Guildford.
Just two pals from Guildford, reminiscing about the ol town ![]()

Winter plushies, expected to depart this summer!
Oh my …
Cool so we got the summer plushies this winter and the winter ones next summer.
Sean spent too long visiting relatives in Australia as a young lad, clearly.
My Gek has made it to Arkansas! I bet he will be hungry and exhausted.
This batch of geks really could have used the winter gear the next ones are getting.
Has anyone heard any news about the Traveller Plush shipping yet?
Ughhh…I looked at the wrong package. Gek is still at sea
What do we do with the drunken gek?
