Cosmic Stars Dice

I was worried, because between making the list-of-sets-to-write-about and actually, you know, sitting down and writing, TabletopLoot announced they were going out of business, and put all their dice on sale. Oh no! I have enjoyed the previous purchase, oh well, guess I better drop a way-too-much on way-too-many sets while they're cheap...oh wait. wait, you're not going out of business after all?
Turns out one of their close friends bought the business and will be officially in charge come the new year. So that's cool, because this set I have of theirs? Came to me completely free of charge, as a very nice little surprise they threw in. And it is _so pretty_.
One of the things I really like about dice is that they are *all* _so pretty_. Even sets in colours that I wouldn't naturally pick up for myself (compare sometime the number of green sets to literally any other colour...) are still exciting and satisfying to admire and play with and look at. So the blue and red galaxy swirl here wouldn't necessarily be my first thought, but once it was in my hands? Oh, oh very yes, oh _fabulously_ yes! Look at it shimmer and glitter and be Just Plain Glorious!
I like this set to the point where I *almost* bought another one in the closing-not-really sale. Almost. Sorta kicking myself that I didn't. All is well though, I only need one pretty set to hold at a time!
((As an aside, my original TTL order came with a little note on the invoice explaining that there were different bags for different dice sets because they don't open-and-rebag the dice they purchase wholesale, as a way of reducing waste. I really appreciated that fact!))
