Thanks, that means the one with silver eagle is no longer available as spare parts in DS? I have the new one you listed above, and would like the silver eagle one

tell you what, earlier when I still have an account in the K-forum, I read a message where someone ordered the new hat from the theater set and instead was sent a full bag of the hat with silver eagle!!! And that guy then returned them back to DS and insisted on getting the new one. So I think they are still available, and sadly my account was terminated on the forum and can ask no more.
