TK I.D. Card (Galaxy's Edge)

Recommended Posts

When I was at GE on Tuesday, I picked up a TK ID card they had that glows (and has a retractable cord)!  And, I don't see any active member with the TK-1901, but if you're new and want to choose it, you'll have a "custom" ID card! ;)  Now, I need to see if I can change the number without ruining it...  LOL!

Member TK1901 comes up as "classified' so no doubt retired but from the Dune Sea Garrison https://www.501st.com/members/searchresults.php

 

Once a number is taken it is taken for life so can't be used by anyone else.

 

But you could always add an extra number to the end ;)

I'll be going to Galaxys edge in January and I am definitely picking one of these up. How are the graphics put onto the id card? Is it etched into the material? Or is it like a frosted paint on top of the plastic?

Watching a review of Galaxy's Edge merch yesterday and these ID cards are available at Galaxy's Edge, wasn't a one off so they all may have the same id number

So, I tried taking mine apart and it's 2 acrylic pieces, and the artwork/info is etched on the inside of one piece and basically sandwiched in there.  It looks to be etched, but I am not 100% sure...

Looks like frosted decal. Just a guess.

I *think* it's etched, but I can't take the whole thing apart without breaking it, so I can't tell for sure...

Probably laser etched acrylic. If you have a laser cutter or know someone who does you could probably reverse-engineer and make your own.

That's what I was wanting to do, but they glued the electronic board to the housing and/or the acrylic piece...  I am sure it can be taken apart, but I really don't want to break it!

Yep, they all have the same number (just mass-produced)...  They had a BUNCH of them at the Dok-Ondar's when I was there...

Nice! Too bad Disney refuses to personalize anything Star Wars, this would be a nice addition to my collection.

True, but there's got to be a way to "customize" it...  Someone braver than I just has to see how it fully comes apart! ;)   I already worked up a "re-imagined" design to replace it, if I can figure it all out...  :)

I feel a dark web sales page in the works ;) lol

JK


LOL!

This was what I came up with for me.  The pink is the plastic holder part and border, the rest would be etched...

Sign me up. I'll be back at GE in a couple weeks, may pick up a few of these then. What store were these in? Didn't see them when I was there.

Oh yeah totally. I would love to carry a custom one with my gear. I'll definitely be picking up 2 when I go.

The Antiquities shop (Dok-Ondar's), where the Kyber Crystals and sabers and such were...  There was a whole bunch of them on the wall if you go left when you walk in, across from the Crystals...

Think you'll make them @iceknyght?

I don't have the capabilities to myself, but if I could find someone that could do the printing/etching part (and figure out how to replace the plastic without breaking the electronics board), I'd be totally up for it...

I ended up picking one of these up during the cast preview and of course couldn't post about it during the NDA window :P There's also a small compartment for sticking a passport-sized photo :)
