century 21 toys project sword badges: hidden astronauts - a footnote

Whilst clearing away my Project SWORD toys after videoing about badges I had one final and pleasant surprise.

I took these two Probe Force 1 and 2 boxes to re-box the vehicles.


I re-positioned them back in their inner card packaging.


Flipping back the card ends I noticed two blue items.


Two blue ASTRONAUT badges taped down no less!


I am unsure if I taped these badges down or whether I bought them like this twenty years ago.

Whatever the reason it means I require two less badges on my shopping list of those missing! Yay!

I would be interested to know if anyone else has hidden SWORD badges taped down like this on inner packaging that is maybe folded over.

Might be worth checking!

  1. No such luck with my PF1, sorry Woodsy. Judging from the picture, the tape looks pretty recent. And did not the badges use to come wrapped in a bit of tissue paper after all?

    1. Yes, I know what you mean about the tissue. Are yours wrapped in tissue in these toys? I imagine I did this when I got the toys decades ago or maybe even the last time I did a stocktake! I have a memory like a sieve!

    2. My PF1 originally came with a Captain badge (added later), which was a nice surprise given its relative scarcity. PF2, on the other hand, has not docked yet at Helsinki Base, so we'll see about that!
