HI GUYS!!!!!! OMG BACK TO BACK BLOG POSTS WTH IS GOING ON HAHAHAHA!!
Ok, now that I got that out of the way *ahem* this blog post comes to you courtesy of a conversation I was having with MarvelMom808 from Insta, we were talking about how some Pandora sales associates are sooooo nice (while others not so much) and how she received a very nice gift from one of them. I have to say, I’ve had some really nice SA’s help me as well and they’ve even given me free swag just for being me (or maybe because I’m a crazy good customer LOL!). The last time I had a very good connection with a SA was in Paris, she said that I had been one of the nicest customers she’s had that day and even gave me a hug! What does that say about other customers I wonder? Yikes.
Anyway, she mentioned that Pandora had introduced Star Wars charms and I was like wait what? Rewind. They did what now? She said yes, Disneyland had Star Wars charms! So I started to do some research, I didn’t quite get the results I wanted as I didn’t find anything at Shop Disney online or on google, but I did come across this article, you can read it here for a little bit more info if you like. Now professional etiquette dictates I contact the author of this article to ask if I can borrow her images but Jahndra ain’t got time for that, so you’ll have to open the article and read it for yourself.
All I can say is that this article was posted on August 30, 2019 and I’m now just hearing about this? Unfortunately the charms are sold as a pair for $150 and they are limited edition. I’ve often wondered why Pandora x Disney, owning the rights to Star Wars haven’t capitalized more on this. Chamilia and Kay Jewelers have made their own Star Wars charms, why hasn’t Pandora? And furthermore, Disney also owns the rights to the MCU, why haven’t we seen an Iron Man charm yet? OMG can you imagine what that would look like? I wouldn’t personally buy any Marvel charms, but I think they are missing the opportunity for sure. Perhaps there is an issue with the licensing and that is why Pandora hasn’t been able to make any Marvel charms, but if they are starting to make Star Wars charms, they can maybe one day make Marvel ones too.
What do you think of these charms? I like them, I don’t plan on buying them, but I know of lots of hard core Star Wars fans that would LOVE to get their hands on these!
I CANT EVEN HANDLE THIS!!! As not only a HUGE Star Wars fan (who already has a mostly full but still enough room for these Star Wars themed bracelet), but also someone who has had a huuuuuuuge crush on Harrison Ford for my entire life, THIS JUST BLEW MY MIND!!! How did I not know these existed?! Where have these been all my life??? Hahahaha! I can’t thank you enough for the preview, this just made my everything! Hahahaha
Katherine have you ever seen Harrison Ford in person?
If you have not, the great news is he looks like he does on screen – very handsome!
My husband and I were in a small (aren’t they all?) NYC restaurant
and in he walks with what we guessed was his daughter and sat diagonal from our table! The
whole place became so quiet until he sat down. Was everyone thinking there is
Hans Solo or Indiana Jones? 😃 Somehow my Star Wars loving
husband was able to keep his cool and not yell out “I love you Hans Solo”!!!!
Great choice for a crush!
No! I’ve never met him or seen him in person, but i can promise that if i did, (unfortunately!) there is NO WAY i would be able to keep my cool!! hahahaha
OMG I would’ve died!! Must be a strange sensation for him to walk into a restaurant and he just wants to have dinner and have about a hundred pair of eyes just staring at him LOL.
I know right? I was thinking the same thing, how has this not made bigger news? I regret since I’m a small time blog the news will not get out there. What will happen is either this will be picked up by a bigger blog or maybe it’s not as big of a news thing as I thought. In any case, I told a very good friend of mine who is as much or a bigger geek girl than me, and you are excited, so I’ve done my job!
OMG! A must have for my son’s childhood bracelet. Thanks for the 411.
No problem! That’s why I’m here!
Hi Jahndra,
I did see these charms as I was sneaking around on Instagram.
I look at pandorabyliz, I believe she works at a Pandora in WDW.
I found her from the Mora Pandora blog – she would use her images.
I have not used this shopper and cannot vouch for her, but I’ve seen her name mentioned,
Normie Dunes who is a Pandora Personal Shopper (she is in the USA), she has a facebook page for those who
need this now! Hopefully these charms will show up on shopdisney. I check that site 2x a day,
because different charms show up. FYI- I shop the site 2 ways – thru the search bar type in Pandora and
by clicking on the Pandora link. Like right now the new Nightmare Before Xmas charm is available you
can only find it by typing in the search bar or looking at the general jewelry, it does not show up on the Pandora link.
As you can tell the Disney charms are what I collect!
I hope they continue with the Star Wars charms I would like a Yoda and Darth. I am not a huge fan like my husband,
so I will be passing on most of the charms if they continue. Disney needs to get it together! Marvel, Star Wars what more could
they ask for? Sometimes I feel they miss huge money making opportunities, which is hard to believe because money is in the front of their mind all the time!
Just thought i’d add a quick comment here – i recently shopped with Normie Dunes for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and she was great! Very clear, very easy, and very quick. I’ve only had the one transaction with her (so far!), but it was a good one and i would recommend her 🙂
Katherine that is great to hear about Normie! Even though I do shop at shopdisney – I have been
thinking about using her to try and get a few things that have not shown up there or have been
retired.
Yes she seems very nice!
YES! I’ve heard of Normie Dunes! I actually went to check her website after I found the article and wouldn’t you know it, she already had a pair to sell!
That is crazy that not all of the charms are under Pandora, it’s like you have to be a detective or something in order to find things LOL. That’s not how a website should be.
I’m pretty sure they will continue with the charms, they like to make money LOL and this would mean more money for them as I know plenty of girls who would buy the star wars charms.
Ha ha yes! We both thought th4e same thing, missed opportunities to make money!! Who knows, but I do predict these wont be the last of the star wars charms.
