Backpack Invaders

A new Space Invaders game and a big milestone mean that Taito gets to start milking their original cash cow anew. The latest item to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the dusty old shooter is a set of nice-looking pinbadges.

Numbering thirty badges and costing thirty(-five) dollars, this set includes each individual Invader, the player-controlled cannon thing, the monster from the arcade game's sideart, and several neat logo pins. We especially enjoy the "I (heart with '30th' inside it) (one of the Invaders)" group.

If you're going to put a bunch of holes in your stuff, you might as well celebrate an awesome game series while you're at it. These pins will ship in "late May" from NCSX.
