The online pins arrived today, here they are....

Robin hood slider pin..

Alice sliding pin (didnt realise she moved)...

Peter pan slider pin...

I have to say these pins are beautiful, I esp love the alice one. I think the peter pan one is lovely but theres one detail ruins it.....

I don't think it would have been as bad if this had been done in black ink but in red it looks as those Wendy, john and michael are zombies!! :shock: !!

lol

lol no they aren't actually but I can see how it looks that way hehe!

o-o Oh wow. :lol: They just really look like rubber on the pic.

Aveen2008 · September 17, 2009, 12:07:22 AM

omg you're right they are!!hehe! I never would have noticed that but i just went and checked the pin lol! usually its so obvious that it's rubber or free-d when you see it hehe! Good job you noticed hehe!

I really think I can't wait for that pin any longer. My mum is thinking of getting the Cruella pin when it's released, so maybe we'll get a few pins between us and split the P&P costs.

Aveen2008 · September 17, 2009, 12:12:45 AM

That's handy hehe!! They really should eitehr reduce the price of the pin or the postage! They would sell a lot better! I want the pinocchio one! I guess I should have just got it but it already cost like £45.95 for 2 robin hoods, 2 alices and 1 peter pan - so for only 5 pins it was £45.95!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

That's soooo much money. Having said that though, LE pins at DLRP are around 10.90/11.90 Euros, so compared to that it's not too bad. :? LE pins in America tend to be much better value.

unless I love the LE's I don't intend to buy too many in the park or too many pins I want to kinda limit myself (if I can) esp as I will be trading and going to PTN lol! Unless none of the merchandise takes my fancy then I may spend more on pins lol! I definately want a large pin bag!

Yeah, on my last two trips to Disney, I only bought like 2 pins each time (aside from the PTN pins). On the January trip I bought a core pin of Cheshire and a core pin of Dumbo. On the April trip I bought a core pin of Stitch and a core pin of Daisy. If I hadn't gone to the PTN that would've been it.

But then there I bought 2 Meet the Robinsons pins, 2 Merlin pins and 1 Walt Disney pin (that was the pre-release one).

As you know, I traded both of the Meet the Robinsons pins. I know 21.80 Euros is a lot of money to spend on 2 trading pins, but the way I saw it, I happily would've paid that amount for the 3 pins I traded for.

The Jessica Rabbit pin I traded for is probably my fave pin ever. So yes, it worked out good in the end, even if I would've rather had 2 nice PTN pins instead of just 1.

I loooove Merlin.

I just hope I can control myself hehe! I know I want one of the small world attraction and probably the hotel new yorl and santa fe pins as they are the 2 hotels I will have stayed in!

I was in the Disney store today, bought the bugs life pin! its much bigger in real life than it looks on the computer I will posta photo tomorrow hopefully. I am not long home from a day out. Also bought the core pins of G-Force and stitch playing guitar just for trading in DLP!

I decided not to be lazy and add the picture tonight...

the 2 bugs at the top (forgot their names) are sliders on the pin and hiemlick is an add on or 3d. I have to say I am not a massive fan of A bugs life ( i don't like bugs for a starters hehe), some parts are cute though. I like Heimlick, he's funny! And dot is sweet too and I like Flick. Wasn't going to buy this pin but something attracted me to it!

Seen the Hercules one - really don't like it and the Aladdin one is ok but I don't think I would pay £7 for it.

Masamune · September 18, 2009, 12:18:23 PM

I agree, that pin is much nicer IRL than it looks on the website. I'm really not a huge fan of the characters on the pin though. They included all the circus bugs except for the ones I actually like (the mantis, the moth and the spider). But yeah, A Bugs Life is probably my least fave Disney/Pixar film out of all the ones I've seen, so I'll be giving that pin a miss.

I really like the Hercules one. I'll be getting it once I get paid.
