Been There Star Wars Ornaments

Posted on

What a surprise! Apart from the three new Star Wars mugs that were announced this Monday, Starbucks shocked collectors with the release of not less than 12 Star Wars ornaments! They were available online for a very short period of time before being marked as sold out! Unfortunately, I was not able to get them, and really hope these will be restocked. I will be monitoring Disney Store from now on, stay tuned for the alerts. Btw, it seems there is plenty of stock in WDW parks.… Read more

Been There – Alabama 2

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Alabama v2 is an updated version of the mug that was released five years ago. I am not surprised that designers removed “the cotton state” nickname from the mug, as it was raising the question of what it has to do with Alabama. Other rather obvious changes include:
– the appearance of a friendly-looking bear and a giant butterfly
– the planes are gone. As a reminder, these were related to the Tuskegee Airmen, which were the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces.… Read more

Been There Christmas – Philippines

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Christmas Philippines mug is the Holiday Edition of the regular mug that I’ve reviewed two years ago. If you compare these two mugs side by side (see the picture below), it becomes obvious that they’re quite different. Looking back at the holiday releases from previous years, I expected small elements added or replaced to introduce that Christmas spirit: trees are replaced with Christmas trees, gifts, snowmen, candy canes, etc. With the Been There Christmas Philippines mug, Starbucks decided to go that extra mile to make it unique.… Read more
