Collector and Investor Standing
Patrick Astronaut, SpongeBob Astronaut and Sandy Cheeks give Rocket Ride plenty of pull with SpongeBob collectors. Their alien jellyfish expedition comes with nets, a moon buggy and an opening rocket, which is a fairly thorough plan for a fairly silly mission. Plenty of members own it or want it, and market activity is picking up.
