I promise this isnt a trial, Pins have been designed for the next 3 quarters + and the lanyards are in and the dlrp trading pins / Disney Store Lanyard pins are on there way. This isnt hitting stores yet so they wouldnt know. :-D

I visit my local Disney Store every time I'm in work, as the shop is just around the corner from where I work. :lol: I'll have to start bringing trading pins with me just incase trading gets started.

.

Masamune · February 20, 2009, 11:41:29 PM

That moving paw was what sealed the deal for me. It's so cute!

I'm thinking of buying another Lady and the Tramp pin. £3 for a Limited Edition pin is great, and it's always good to have some LE pins for trading.

Clarebelle · February 23, 2009, 08:32:13 PM

They are sold out on the website

Masamune · February 23, 2009, 08:38:04 PM

On Sunday they still had them in the Manchester store. I couldn't get one though because I was on my lunch break and the que was massive. Hopefully they'll still have them when I go into town tomorrow.

At some point over the past few weeks my local disney store has closed and gone for good :shock:

Once again took a trip out to buy pins this weekend just gone. I've gotten addicted!

Oxford Street are suffering from being the flagship store, they had no limited edition pins left at all apart from the Easter ones! Luckily, the Covent Garden store I normally go to had all of them, so I got Pinocchio, Fab 5 and the normal Mickey one. And a spare St Paddy's Day Stitch one

Hi, Yes they have started selling them - I went into Disney today in Merry Hill shopping centre, West Midlands and was so excited when my daughter notice the pins behind the counter. The everyday collection are £3 & £5 then there's the special/limited edition ones £5 & £7. Got a special St Patricks day one think it was Stitch in a leprauchan style green suit with the clover leaf behind him.

Happy trading everyone, who knows we may start holding Pin Events in the Uk in the not so distant future - yipee.

Went to WDW Florida last September and in the Disney Village there was a pin trading event, gosh I've never seen so many pins. This one English woman (who pops over to USA when she gets bored!) has about 3000 approx.

Just been to DLRP last week, couldn't believe it was that busy, just about managed to most of what we wanted in the 3 days we were there.

Went mostly for the rides as the kids got most autographs from previous visits to DLRP and WDW. TOT was qood and there was a different level to WDW's TOT. It didn't last as long but still had the shock-drop factor. Queued on average 40 mins for the major rides, BTM, TOT. Didn't get chance to go on Crush's coaster - arrived early Wed morning to join the queue - boy what a queue - it was already backed up to Studio 1! rumours were a 2 1/2 hour wait was in store.

Hopefully anyone going now should be well shut of the school kids!

Enjoy

I picked up 2 more Lady and the Tramp pins today, so now I have 3 spare.

£3 is very good value for Limited Edition pins, so I'm glad I was able to get some spare ones. :shock: The St Patrick's Day Stitch pin has sold out here very quickly.

Glad you got the spare Lady and the Tramp pins :p
It seems as if the St Patrick day Stitch pin was very very popular

well who could resist it though? :lol:
