Incoming (out of this world) 

had an appointment with my SA over the weekend and was surprised with the Starwheel. I had inquired about it many months ago but didn't expect it to come true until 2024. I was told it required regional approval and they have received a handful this year. I feel fortunate to have received the Starwheel, even though it's under RR, and it's flying under the radar. It is truly a must-see in person to fully appreciate it.

Now that’s a cool piece!
I’ve never been able to find one in the flesh to view however.
Congrats on the purchase, hope you’ll give us a review at some point in the future.

Congratulations. Fantastic piece. Btw I cannot find it on AP website in the code 11.59 category.
Do they plan to stop production ? We can only speculate :-)

I wanted to share with you all my journey with AP and how much I appreciate your great support. I started collecting AP after my father passed away and it has been a rewarding and meaningful hobby.

Have made several trips down to Southern California and visited the boutique to build a strong relationship with the SA over the years. I am very grateful to be in the position of obtaining several ROs, Code 11.59s and Starwheels. My ultimate goal is to obtain an Openworked, but I heard that the 15407.01 is discontinued?

I am curious to see where this journey will take me and how much more I can learn from you all.
