Thanks guys :3
Sweetie: yeah, I was so happy when I realized he was throwing it specifically for me and that's good enough for me XD Would have been a good keepsake, though, in any case.
Amita: I now have pics of all the merch I got up on the post I linked to previously. And no, the 8th anniversay pendant was definitely not there; since that was never a stocked item (only special order) They wouldn't have any extra laying around to sell off.
And I'm sorry you're missing out; the Canada mess is so crazy, I still don't think anyone's quite sure what's going on. I feel bad for you guys up there x_x;
