I’ve had these pins for about 4 years and some change but I’ve never found any info on them. Received them in a package paired with a blanket and matching mouse pad and some other goodies. Anyone have any info about these? Value, rarity, collectibles?
They're part of promo merch packs that get sent out to giveaway entrants and media partners at the launch of each generation. Sometimes they end up on the Intel storefront, along with things like beach towels, shirts and water bottles, but the numbered sets are specifically promotional.
They love making pins. Lots of them out there, for CPUs, GPUs, product lines and mascots like Chippy. I did a quick search and there are a few of these (non-numbered) up on ebay and etsy, along with the Rocket Lake set and some other mousepads, bags, Chipppy plushies and pins. Goodies, galore!
Quite a neat thing to have, along with the other stuff you mention. It's not exactly rare art, but odds of someone else having something similar are, well... there are another 699, I suppose, but still!
Ah this would make sense. I received this as part of a goodie bag with the other mentioned items after assisting in the running of some of Intel Gamer Days activities in 2021!
The blanket and mousepad aren’t the same design but feature characters from games spread across an ‘exploded’ pc on all of the internal components. This is the design on those. Sadly I no longer have this mousepad but the blanket is still around!
That's awesome, internally we got one for a beige blanket and sometimes a hoodie. But marketing always has the good stuff!
