It hit me that I think we need a general pin thread. A thread to post post pictures of your pins, to ask questions, to give and get pin advice, maybe even to trade with eachother and so on. Just a basic thread for everything pin related. I just thought it'd be nice to have it all in one place. Also, maybe you could write why you collect and what themes etc? I'd love to know. :D

I myself am a newbie pin collector. Just started on my last trip to dlrp. Didn't know if it'd be for me. When I first saw the pins I thought that they were kinda cute but not something I could see myself collecting. So I only bought a few, and a few more and a few more and all of I sudden I realised I was hooked. The beauty of pintrading is that it's for everyone and it also puts you in contact with lots of different people and CMs. I really like it and can't wait till we go again! :D

Well....These are our family Disney Pins>>

http://public.fotki.com/DisneyDavid/dis ... -badge-co/ (http://public.fotki.com/DisneyDavid/disney-pin-badge-co/%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)

I soley own the Donald Ones, suprise suprise... :wink:

Jen owns all the Princess and Minnie ones, and Vanessa owns along with all of us the rest of them.... :lol:  :D

The collection started with the Princess ones if I remember correctly, then my Donald ones.  Then the rest started to filter in.  Also we decided to collect the Park, Zone and Hotel pins, and lastly we started to collect the attraction pins.  Again like everyone else the collection is on-going and neverending.... :mrgreen:

We keep them all safe in the Disney Pin Trading black valise bag, which we also decided we should buy whilst over DLRP.

Might get most of them someday, probably by the year 2099.... :lol:  :lol:  :mrgreen:

I have that pin! Its my absolute favourite!!!

Yeah, Jen loved it the moment she saw it.. :D/

(//http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc266/javey74/MinnieTinkerbell-vi.jpg)

She said it was mainly because she likes Minnie anyway, but she also likes Tinkerbell and because they are combined this way, it makes the pin extra special.. :wink:  :D

My fav of your collection Jav is the falling Alice one in the beginning. It's really cute and I haven't seen it anywhere before. I'll take pics of my pins and post later. It's about time! :D

Do you guys have any special stories connected to some of your pins?

Actually this pin you are talking about MizzRabbit was traded from a CM...Mmmm, lucky find... :D

(//http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc266/javey74/AliceInWonderland-vi.jpg)

On the matter of special stories, this pin of Minnie below, does have one...

(//http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc266/javey74/Minnie2-vi.jpg)

You see, on my album you only see one of these, but in actual fact there are two of them.  Identical in everyway except Minnie's right eye.  The white of the eye is not there, it is all gold.  I was told that it was a manufactured error and looks as though the white enamel was accidently missed for the eye or it did not adhere very well and so fell out at a later stage.

The end result makes it look as though Minnie is winking her right eye with the gold acting as the eyelid.  :wink:  :mrgreen:

I do like anomolies like these, I always think it makes the pin even more valuable, a little bit like mistakes on bank notes.. :wink:  :D

Thats like getting an all new pin!

Very nice story Jav, and I agree, it makes it more special. Could you post a picture of it? Now I really want to see. :)

Wow great collection!
I'm busy trying to find mine! haha
I haven't got many though =]
My collection is just a baby  :)

Looking forward to seeing it Laura. Yeah, small pins can be hard to find. I keep mine in a plastic Disney bag for now. But I'm looking into getting a real pin bag on eBay or when my aunt goes to dlrp in october. She's soooo lucky!

Quote from: "MizzRabbit"Very nice story Jav, and I agree, it makes it more special. Could you post a picture of it? Now I really want to see. :)

I'll try to take a pic of it tomorrow, little bit too dark to get a decent shot right now... :wink:  :D

So I decided to finally get my pins sorted and take pics of them. Took some time but now they're ready so I'll post them here. Some of them have a little pin story to go with them so I hope you'll enjoy the disneygeekiness of that :D

First of all, this is my one and only first ever lanyard. It's pink with a Minnie charm at the end and has cookies all over. It was perfect for me as I'm a cookie kind of girl. ;)

These are princess toddler pins that I got off eBay. I might give them to my best friend as she loves princesses but I'm not sure yet. I want to give her one that is perfect for her.

I collect Jessica Rabbit pins. She's one of my fav characters. I got these off eBay as well. The latter one was from my boyfriend.

This one has a story. There were some hardcore pintraders in DRLP who are always there we were told. One of them had this pin on her lanyard and seeing I love Jessica Rabbit, I really wanted it. She said it was LE and she would only trade for a special LE and since I was new I had no LE pins yet. Well, then we went to the pintrading board and the guy there was incredible. He was so nice and we chatted for hours throughout our trip. He told us a lot about pins and was extremely nice and helpful. Well, I asked him where I could get a hold of a pin like the one the hardcore pintradingwoman had on her lanyard and he said that if I came back later he'd work something out. When I came back he handed me the pin. Just like that. No trading. No anything. Just as a present. I have no idea how he got a hold of it from her. He told me it wasn't LE and that she'd tried to trick me. But I mean, that was one incredible CM! I recommended him at City Hall telling them how wonderful he'd been and they told me I was the second one that day to recommend him. That was such a wonderful experience. And a long story as it turns out.

My boyfriend bought me this on eBay. He's a Star Wars fan.

I got this one on eBay. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the electrical parade and just had to have this pin. Every time I look at it the parade song plays in my head! Just love it!

These were given to me as gifts by the pinboard CM. He was incredible! Two of them are LE. I can't wait to see him again when we go next time. I wanted to give him a pressie back when we were there so I bought him a Minnie marshmallow lollipop. I know it's lame.

This is one of my absolute favourites! I so hope to get the rest of the collection sometime. I got it on the pintradingboard. Isn't it gorgeous?

This is my first ever Disney pin. Got it from Kodak in EuroDisney in 1992.

(//http://images41.fotki.com/v1306/photos/1/1372243/6672929/Billederaugsept134-vi.jpg)

This one is from Tokyo Disney but got it on eBay. The Cookie Carnival is my FAVORITE Silly Symphony so I had to have it. And I love it! It's also LE.

(//http://images41.fotki.com/v1307/photos/1/1372243/6672929/Billederaugsept139-vi.jpg)

My boyfriend bought me this one in DLRP. Just love it!

(//http://images39.fotki.com/v1291/photos/1/1372243/6672929/Billederaugsept140-vi.jpg)

This is my most treasured pin! My boyfriend bough it for me on eBay. It has two things I love: Jessica Rabbit and stained glass front.

Well, that's my pins. I have loveley memories for every single one of them! Hope you enjoyed my little "Pin Report" haha.

WOW!!!
Your pins are absolutally amazing!
I'd never ever seen the majority of them!! wow!
Thanks so much for sharing!!  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Glad you like them. I'm really looking forward to seeing your too! :D

Nice pins thanks for sharing. I really like the Mickey/Donald/Goofy/Pulto POTC one,and the Chip and Dale pin. Is that a sparkly Pete's Dragon I see too ? That one looks like its woth buy.............no,No,NO !!!!!  (*closes eyes tightly*) Not startng a pin collection,not starting a pin collection, not starting a pin collection........................................................

they are brilliant hoping to get some when we go

You have a great collection of pins there MizzRabbit, quite a few limited ones there by the look of it.  I'm the same as burntsienna here, most of them I've never seen.. :o

I like the toddler ones of the Princesses, aswell as the Donald one (suprise suprise).. :lol:  

Thanks for sharing, would I be right in saying alot of them you got last time you were at DLRP, or have you been buying a lot off Ebay instead... :?:  :D

Pete, yes, it's the Elliot float from the electrical parade and it's gorgeous. You can get it on eBay. Maybe that could be "your one".

Jav, I've only bough about 10 on eBay. The rest is from our last DLRP trip. I managed to get quite a lot of LE pins considering I was new and didn't have any to trade with. That also had a lot to do with that wonderful CM I wrote about. He really helped me get a hold on some wonderful LEs on the pin board. But yes, most of them I got frem trading. I feel I got really lucky finding unusual ones. My boyfriend said I had a special gift for spotting them. LOL.  :lol:

These are all the pins I could find! lol
I have stored my other ones away safe somewhere....maybe too safe!!!  :o
So the one's I've found just appear to be really quite random! lol  :D
(//http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c191/mess_333/Hmmmwherearetherestofmypins.jpg)

Ooo and my scanner chopped the ends off  :shock:

Wow! I like them! Especially the one where Peter Pan carries Wendy. And also the princess locket. Hope you find the rest at some point! :D

Quote from: "MizzRabbit"Wow! I like them! Especially the one where Peter Pan carries Wendy. And also the princess locket. Hope you find the rest at some point! :D

Yeah I hope I find them too! haha  :lol:  :mrgreen:

MizzRabbit: That CM must have been really helpful... :lol:  :D

burntsienna: Nice collection, I hope you find your safe-safe ones aswell. Oh and naughty scanner... :lol:  :lol:  :mrgreen:

Haha yeah...I hope I can find them too hmm I wonder where my brain thought would be a good place to put them.

Oooo I started the castle drawing again...I didn't like the other one! lol... :roll:  :shock:

Can't wait to see more of your artwork. Maybe you could design pins for Disney? Who does design pins anyway???

Quote from: "MizzRabbit"Can't wait to see more of your artwork. Maybe you could design pins for Disney? Who does design pins anyway???

Ooooo wow!
That would be great and soooooo much fun!
At the moment with my drawings I'm working on some stuff for Captain Pan =] along with Javey's Castle and my back up of tutorials  :roll:  :lol: sooo much to do lol!  :mrgreen:

And that is a good point, I wonder who does design them...

My pin addiction is getting out of hand...I traded 20 pins in DLP brought loads and brought lots of really nice ones on Ebay..

Will post a photo soon of my pins.

I have survived the Pin addiction. Spent the last 3 days of the holiday looking at Every pin in Every gift shop in DLRP, and only came away with one.

James. :donald:

Yes i think it is...:)

Oooooooooo I love both of your pin sets!
They are soooo cool, I haven't seen most of them! I'm really amazed  :mrgreen:
Thank you both for posting!

does anyone have a "spare" Ursula Wanted Pin?

I am after this one to complete the set, I am going to give my wife a pin for everything that she does that is brave on her surprise trip at the end of October, she hates scary rides and this is the only way I will get her on them!

bump

I'm so happy i picked up my first Limited Edition pin in DLRP at the weekend.

It was the Tinkerbell Christmas pin. I will post a photo asap of it and the new pins i traded for aswell very soon.

Wow a great collection of pins everyone... =D>  =D>

Vanessa would be so jealous of the Chip and Dale ones... :o

Hi! I'm fairly new to the all-consuming fun that is pin collecting! Like you, I bought a couple because I thought they were cute, then some more, then traded with a cast member, and so on... Now I have an addiction!! But I LOVE IT!!!
I get some from ebay, but we have to be careful... I find pinpics.com a fantastic site. i was introduced to it by a fellow pin addict, and I can spend a good hour on it at a time. I've not got my husband into it yet, but he tolerates it!!! But I'm leading my nieces up the pin path!!!  :D

Can anyone tell me if there is any way of buying pins direct from DLRP without going there? I tried a link from dizpins.com, but I didn't get anywhere. There must be a mail/online order website...

Looking forward to your help!

 :)

Resurrecting this topic! If you have any new pins add them here!

ooo I will have to take piccys tomorrow and post them in this topic, i love finding other pin trading mad people and seeing piccys hehe! :D  :D/ ...

Honey, when do you go to NY? :D

Well, Heres my current pin collection (feel free to offer trades):

(//http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/8793/dsc00215r.jpg)

 My most recent pin is the Fantillusion one which lights up (LE 900) and I'm getting the Donald, Chip and Dale one from the Disney Store this weekend (possibly the Monsters inc. one too). Off to DLP next thursday so I'll have many more when I return (and a Pin bag too  :) ).

 NB: Still need this pin!!!!!  :cry:

 :D  :D  :D  :D

:shock: That is a Pin Collection! Some great pins there Aveen. I like the Mickey bandana + earring one (might have to pick that up this year).
Do you think the UK LE pins will be particularly popular in Paris? I'll pick up some duplicates if so.

I really dont know to be honest it will be my first time pin trading there in Sep. I think when trading with cast members they actually have to pin trade with you for whatever pin you want etc as long as they dont already have yoru pin and its a genuine one..its part of the rules but in paris apparently there is a pin board taken out and yu can only exhange LE's for LE's and so on so thats why I am getting the LE's mainly!

The pirate bandana one I traded for in my local disney store :D

 :o I actually have some of my pins displayed in frames now.

The rest of my collection is on my corkboard and in my pin book.

(//http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/GaiaSigs/Disney/Pins1.jpg)

The corkboard pic needs updating, since some of the pins on there are now in the frames. :) And I've gotten loads of new pins since that was taken.

Aveen - That really is a lovely collection you've got there I would adore the Bolt openning day pin, there is an LE pin board in Paris and you're wise to get a few ready for trading there I only took 2 LE pins with me last month and when I'd traded both of the the following day I saw a Halloween Mickey who was just adorable so I had to have him! I ended up spending 13 Euros on buying a pin there and then to trade for him!

aw cool did you get a trading lanyard set and thats why you have two of the stitch one? :D

yeh you mite tell i got a ToT Set :)

anyone else want to post pics of their collection? :D

Just a question here guys. Is it generally seen that all pins on your lanyard you are willing to trade?

Quote from: "Aveen2008"anyone else want to post pics of their collection? :D

Yip, here's mine  :lol:
(//http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o427/Brtweed1976/DLRP2008/dlrp08%20day5/DSCF3417.jpg)

Considering doubling it in September, if and only if I can find a nice Pete's Dragon one

Quote from: "Barnsey313"Just a question here guys. Is it generally seen that all pins on your lanyard you are willing to trade?

I dont think it's nesscarily so...some people may wear a lanyard around their neck of the pins they like, just to show it off in a matter of speaking, others may have a mixture of both. I guess if you go to trade with someone you could just say which ones you are willing to trade or not, or if someone asks...you aren't forced to trade your pins, guests have the right to say no. On the other hand cast members are obliged to trade with a cast member if the pins are on the cast member lanyard and if the pin you are offering is a genuine traidng pin and it is not already on the lanyard they are wearing. Some cast members do have their own personal pins on them but as far as I can make out (after a dicussion with clarebelle) these personal collections are usually worn on their waistcoat or around their wait on a little belt type thing. :D



Pete's Dragon: wow that is a massive collection! :P  I duno if you will have room for it all if you double it hehe only messing hehe nice pin! :D/

WOW i really love all your pins!! you have all great pin collections!!
so this are all my pins:

(//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6524.jpg)

then when walt disney studios in paris opened i bought this one:
(//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6522.jpg)

then i bought all these ones:
(//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6532.jpg) (//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6531.jpg) (//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6530.jpg) (//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6528.jpg) (//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6527.jpg)

last year for my 18th birthday i bought all these ones:
(//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6526.jpg) (//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6525.jpg) (//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6521.jpg) (//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6516.jpg) (//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6515.jpg) (//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6508.jpg) (//http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh16/jambo_hello/100_6502.jpg)

I sold alot of my pins :( I was broke.  But i kept the ones that are special to me and that il be wearing on my Lanyard in Sept and November.

Has anyone see any Mad Hatter pins in DLRP??

I was just wondering. The majority of people here seem to stick their pins into corkboards. My question is, what do you so with all the black rubber Mickey Mouse shaped bits that fit over the pin ? Dumped, kept in a drawer ?????

I actually keep all the backing cards, Mickey Mouse rubber backs and receipts from my pins in a big glass vase next to the corkboard where my pins are, going to get a proper box for them soon!!

I keep my rubber mickey backings in a stitch cup from Disney on Ice and I put the backings into my drawer.

I also used my full length mirror with a wooden frame to display some of my pins! :D

Quote from: "Snow_White_Girl"I actually keep all the backing cards, Mickey Mouse rubber backs and receipts from my pins in a big glass vase next to the corkboard where my pins are, going to get a proper box for them soon!!

That would make for a really cool photo if its a clear see-through vase. It would also make for a funny game. "Guess how many Mickeys in the Jar? "   :lol:

Yeah it would! It'd be a bit rubbish at the moment though with me only having 13 pins! I may post a pic when I have more cos it is actually a see-through vase!

I SO want this pin (//http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Disney-DA-P-I-N-S-Seven-Princesses-Cameo-LE-Pin_W0QQitemZ200372863074QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Collectables_Disneyana_EH?hash=item2ea7274062&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14), I love it! Been looking for a pin with all the princesses on for AGES! :)

I absolutely love this one (//http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Disney-Haunted-Mansion-Bride-Hurry-Back-Pin-LE-999_W0QQitemZ180396314578QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2a00754fd2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) too, especially how it's an LE of 999! ;)

aw thats a lovely pin! you should bid for it! :D

Hmmm, I'm having a dilemma over whether to bid for this (//http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150366503585&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT) on eBay, 47 for £10 just seems too good to be true. I'm just worried that they'll be damaged pins, especially since they seem to be mainly Winnie The Pooh pins, which I'm not massively interested in, so I'll be keeping the majority as traders as I'm in dire need of some! What do you guys reckon??

Hmm it does sound too good to be true really :?  but personally I would have to see the auction, go by the pictures and feedback from other people etc :)

From the picture they all look genuine I must admit, though you can't see too well with 47 of them crammed in there! The seller has 100% positive feedback too, with loads of other pins for sale as well. I reckon he/she may be a former collector who's decided to sell everything! I still don't know though, can I really justify £10 on pins when I'm unemployed?! lol! :lol:

They look legitimate to me. Usually on fake lots they try to hide most of the details by piling them up so I'd go for it although that said it'll shoot up in price at the last minute.
 As for me I have bought my pin bag when I visited DLP last week along with some new pins (and a few other bits  viewable on the merchandise thread) and my 'Three for breakfast' pin arrived too.

So here is my collection:

(//http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/7826/59487293.jpg)
- Resort/Attraction Pins (With my favorite - the jumbo Castle)

(//http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4117/34757277.jpg)
- Fab 5/Very Disneyish Characters (Guess who I'm not the greatest fan of?  :) )

(//http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/1397/91816996.jpg)
- Pixar Films/Other Characters and Films (Ratatouille! YAY!)

(//http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5944/88664701.jpg)
- My favorite page  :P .

Feel free to offer trades!

PS: I will do a trip report eventually, honestly before the months out  :lol: .

you have a great collection there!! =D>

How much was your pin bag? I want to buy one when I go next month! :D

Twas 30 euros from Main Street Photographer on the 6th of August. First night we were there,  whilst the fantillusion was going past outside, we kept popping in and out - it was so magical.

I would really like a nice pin bag, I will have to be patient, hopefully I'll be going back to Paris at some point next year  :D

Here are some of my pins the first pic is of my Haunted Mansion Friday 13th Collection from Walt Disney World I was lucky enough to be there on the date itself when these pins were released so of course they had to come home.  I put Phantom Manor Tink/Stitch Friday 13th pin in there as well to keep them company as its the same theme.  The frame however I didnt get in Disney.  I got the frame quite cheapily in Ikea, and the backing in a fabric shop and decided to see what my pins would look like I think it works well

(//http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/Daxter1182/P1000921.jpg)

Secondily is another frame idea that I came up with a little Pirates map as the background

(//http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/Daxter1182/P1000559.jpg)

I hope you all don't mind double posting, I've been photographing my collection so I thought that I would share

Great selection there Eager_eyes! :D  :D

I am guessing you like Mickey pins the best! :wink:

You have guessed correctly I love Mickey, and I mainly aim to collect/trade for Mickey pins!

I have a few more pins a second board and some in folders but my second board isn't quite finished yet.

here is my new pin board and 37 new pins :wink:

Only traded for one pin as I didn't like the others left of the lanyards. I am the only person bringing in various different pins, i will have to wait till they change the pins on the lanyards again I think lol.

Hi Pin Collectors!
I only have a few pins that I bought because I like them, I'm not a collector.
But through looking at posts on here I have remembered that my sister and I bought lanyards and pins in Florida in 2000 and 2003.
I don't remember which ones we had, but if I get some photos of them when I go to visit my family at the weekend and post them on here, could you guys tell me if we have any unusual ones?
Thanks :)

yep I am sure we can :D  would be great to see them :D

Hi,
I ahve been to DLRP 9 times between 1993 and this year. however it was only in June i beacme addicted to pin trading. Here are my pins which i have for keeping:
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC02615-1.jpg)

As you can see my favourite is Beauty and the Beast but i also collect a lot of pins which just catch my eye.

Ro

 :D What beautiful Belle pins! :P Gaston is my 2nd fave Disney character, so I try to get pins of him when I can. There's not many been made though.

Quote from: "Masamune" :D What beautiful Belle pins! :P Gaston is my 2nd fave Disney character, so I try to get pins of him when I can. There's not many been made though.

Thank you, no it's really a shame that they do so many of certain characters like Tinkerbell but miss out on the supporting characters or films which were released a few years back.

Ro

Thought I would bump this for danny to see peoples collections as a new pin trader

Ooooh thankyou :) I just asked in another thread where this was lol so save time if someone replying to that hehe

I will wait a bit to post my collection as it not that big at the moment and will wait till I have my new pins XD

Can someone explain to me, what is a 'Gift with Purchase' pin? What do you have to buy? Is this only done in the american parks?

Quote from: "Aveen2008"Can someone explain to me, what is a 'Gift with Purchase' pin? What do you have to buy? Is this only done in the american parks?

Hey I googled it and its a pin you get free for spending a certain amount of $ on pins as a thankyou for your purchase.  

I have a few questions about pins that i'm hoping some of you will know the answer to:
With 2009 pins from WDW a lot of them have the Mickey in prints on the back, if it is genuine will it go right to the edge of the pin or will there be a border? I have heard both but do not know whivh is true.

Also with scrapper pins do they deliberately make mistakes so you can spot scrappers? For instance spelling mistakes on the back of pins or wrong colours?

With the lanyards in UK stores do the staff ever check the lanyard for scrappers and dispose of them? Also how do new pins end up on the lanyard randomly do they get placed on or is it only when someone buys a pin specifically to trade with the lanyard and lastly do the pins which have been on the lanyard for weeks ever get changed/swapped between stores.

Thanks for your answers

Ro

Erm Im unsure about the mickey heads, I will check a few pins I have that are official to let you know.

Scrappers - I think they try not to make mistakes as that way it beats the objective of them selling them I think, as if you cant tell then they succeeded :P spelling mistakes/colour differences then yeah they are bound to be scrappers unless the pin itself comes with a word spelled differently (if it says on pinpics).

And I wish that was true about lanyards getting updated from time to time as that aint the case here (oldham and manchester) but Oldham store have two lanyards which is good :) and I dont think they know what a scrapper is as I said to the cm in oldham on monday that I had never seen the pin before and she was all thats chip from beauty and the beast... I thought Im not that stupid cause I replied yeah I know he is with Mrs Potts hahahaha

They need a CM that knows there pins I think as that way the person can look at the lanyard and think hmm dont look right that one..

Aveen, where did you find the Pin Trading University and the Lets Go Pin Trading pins? I love them!
Also, does anyone know if the green Sequoila Lodge Pin is available to buy at DLRP?

I didn't want to open a new thread so I'm going to post this here.

Two weeks ago we have been to DLRP and I wanted to buy some pins, like every visit. I'm more interested in park, resort or attraction pins, especially the logos, and not in characters. In 2008 DLRP had a broad selection of attraction pins, but this time it was really hard to find some. At least I got a few. I had also the impression that the pin selection in general was very small.

Is it just me or did you also recognize this?

I thought the exact same when I went last september. I remember when there was so many pins to choose from the whole wall that used to be in Harringtons was full of them it would have been almost hard to pick there were so many, now its just a small turn around stand on the floor. The Emporuim only have a small few on their walls and its the same all around the resort. I thought it was just my imagination as my last trip was the first trip were I was a lot more interested in buying the pins but I do feel they have cut back a lot on them! :(

The pin selection has been growing a lot smaller over the year.  It's also very spread out, contrary to the other merchandise.  It's one of the few things you really have to look for in shops.  I saw some pins in Tower Gifts I didn't see in other shops (although I must say I didn't really look for it, my bf likes looking at pins and I noticed thanks to him).

I fear pin trading is a bit wasted on me, I just collect pins I like of certain characters I like (Maleficent, Jack Skellington, Tigger and the Cheshire Cat) and thus don't tend to get many to trade.  And I'm incapable of getting rid of pins people have given me as a present so I tend to have a bunch of miscelaneous pins in my pin map :lol:

I got 2 presents from my other half tonight!!! :D

While she may not be the most popular or well-known character, I LOVE Witch Hazel, and this is pretty much the only pin of her in existence that I know of! She's actually part of the "Where Evil Spells Are Always Broken" series from DLA - a set of 6 pins with 5 of the other more well-known villains - of course I'm watching all these on eBay too! ;)

They're "gift with purchase" pins so the only ways I'd get them are on eBay or by trading for them - I was buzzing when my other half told me tonight he'd won me Witch Hazel!! :)

My other gift was a 2-foot tall Tigger that he got for £5 on eBay LOL!!  :D/

Bah!! I got outbid for the Ursula pin in the series!!! Gutted! :(

aw is there not more of it on ebay?

I have the jafar one :)

Cool :) I won the Maleficent one tonight too  :D/ Still stinging over not winning the Ursula one though - I'm searching for it on new listings every day from now on lol! :lol:

do you use pinpics (snow_white_girl) ? :D

Yeah I do - I'm on there as SnowWhite1984 :)

Ursula pin has been relisted - woohoo!!!  :D/

shame I still didnt have these as I had 5 of them when I got a bag of traders lol

I have Ursula, Madam Mim and Witch Hazel for trade if you are interested.
Ro

I would be VERY interested if I had any traders left lol!! ;) Thanks anyway though! :)

Madam Mim - check!  :D/ Am buzzing now!!! Jafar next - fingers crossed!!  :lol:

Just been thinking and am I the only one to find that American Traders do not like to trade for UK pins as I offered a trader through pinpics PTN Carl pin (Id of bought it again if trader said yes) Gummi Bears UK pin, St Paddys Mickey pin, UP core pin, UP vue cinema pin and another pin I wont say what it is... and I asked for one pin in return and that was the ellie badge DSF pin...Yes I know it is rare and everybody wants it but to say that isnt a fair trade as I included the PTN Carl pin with is already rare is a joke.

I dont see how we as UK traders can even try to trade for some of the DSF or low LE's out there when all the traders who have them are mainly American and they do not seem to want to trade with us...as I find them to be quite touchy on pins and think they are more important that other traders...

Am I the only one to find this or am I just being stupid?

Hey Danny,

this is pretty much the exact attitude I faced at the pin trading night that I went to in disneyland Paris and although they weren't american but friench mainly with one or two dutch, belguim and english traders they pretty much behaved the same way. They looked at my LE uk lanyard like it was dirt! :(  :roll:

its a shame seeing as I offered all that from there wants list and still got its not fair trade, Im wondering how many I would have to trade to make it fair.

Oh and Aveen I got the pin XD couldnt help it.

lmao your mad, but then again i think all pin traders are! Did the pin trader actually say " it's not a fair trade"?

I know Im mad but the most expensive is out of the way now and Im home free to get the remainder of my UP pins now hehehe

and yes the seller did say that, ive copied and pasted the reply -

I'm sorry but that wouldn't be a fair trade for me. Thanks anyway, good luck trading!

To me Im done with asking people to trade for UP pins now as its always the same answer I get.

Danny, i wonder if you did this by pinpics maybe the person did not read the message taht went with the swap and only looked at the initial pin which you first clicked on to swap. Sorry if i am not being clear but to ask for a trade on pinpics i believe you can only choose one pin then add a message to say if you are willing to multi-trade if the message wasn't read it would explain things. The only othere thing is email them back and ask just out of interest what they consider a fair trade to be.
Ro

Actually I dont do that when on pinpics, I look who has a certain pin and trail through there wants pages and then if they have an email address listed I personally email them asking for the trade, I find that a better way to try and trade through pinpics.

I asked what would be a fair trade but the trader (who I wont name) didnt give me an answer to that, but gave me an answer to would they sell it question and I was told in the region of $150-$300....hahaha I was lucky to get it for $165 I think hahaha

Didnt know where to put this as I dont think it is a DLRP release so here will have to do..and hope you like this Lindsay...I think it looks like quite a nice set if Im honest and would be great traders for those that dont collect villains pins.

(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/Blog_20100306_Villains.jpg)

Its released in August and is Open edition. Thats all I know but like I said dont know if its DLRP release.

Ooooh they look fab - I collect Villain pins so I'd be straining at the leash to get my hands on those!!

My new mission is a Fantasmic pin... so so hard to get for a decent price on eBay cos most in existence are CM pins! :(

 :D The Scar pin in that set looks fabulous. Will definatly want to get my hands on that.

hehe I knew youd like it Lindsay XD

Hi

I just bought a pin bag from DLP and wondered what the netting pockets were for - are they for the backing cards?

thats wot i use the netted pockets for also any spare pins

Just incase people wonder where I am, I'm pretty much on hiatus right now. I'm in the middle of preparing for my house to get renovated. Everything has to be boxed up. Then once they come in to start working, it'll be like 2-3 weeks before they go. :) So yeah, if I disappear completely until May, that's why.

glad to see you are still around Lindsay XD and hope it all goes well with the renovation :)

hey Lindsay saw this new cheshire cat pin, and only saw it as there is an UP pin lol

 :D That series is GORGEOUS. :P So, when are you getting the Up pin?

Quote from: "Masamune" :D That series is GORGEOUS. :P So, when are you getting the Up pin?

wow I have to say i totally agree! =D>  :D/

Im wanting the stitch one as well now as didnt see that one when I was looking :( but now I have to get it :P

I didnt see on the listing but the pin will be shipped on the 12th April or whenever the seller gets it, least I know I can trsut the seller as Ive had pins off them before :) cost $21 but so wasnt complaining with the price.

I do like the series as well and I might go ahead and get the rest if I decide to but I know if I branch out just this once it will open the flood gates XD

lol I am trying to consciously narrow my 'flood gates', ive decided I want to collect the little mermaid, the stitch ones I like, lion king ones if I like them, alice in wonderland (has to feature alice or chesshire cat at least), beauty and the beast, mulan...ok my flood gates are pretty bad hey? lmao!!! :P

I tried establishing flood gates when I started collecting - I came to the conclusion that it's pretty much impossible! :lol:

Still trying to find my Fantasmic pin :( They're either really expensive or quite boring colours lol!

been looking up on the interent, didnt realise how many scrappers there are! and its impossible to know the detail on every pin, so to think you could be trading with a cm and getting a scrapper :(
and to not ever be 100% sure your pins real unless you bought it from disney is pretty rubbish :/

This is being discussed over on Dizpins at the moment saying scrappers has ruined trading which I think it hasnt as for me there are not many pin that I want on my list and hardly any or all dont have a scrapper warning on them so for me there is nothing to worry about.

Scrappers of lanyward in the parks are most likley to be vinlymation and hidden mickeys as HM pins always get scrapped. Lucky if you dont collect those types of pins.

I had a run in with a trader when I first started as I bought 10 scrappers off ebay (I was none the wiser) now I tend to buy trader pins from DS.com or HTF pins to get pins I want, and if I see a pin on ebay that Im looking for to buy for trade I will check its pinpics and if no warning then most likely safe.

But as its been said on Dizpins that not every pin is perfect, proof of that is the UK bauble Xmas 09 pin which had dips in the paint on mickey and minnies faces...should that been deemed a scrapper since thats a telltale sign...I dont think so.

I tend to not thnk about the scrapper situation anymore as no point in stressing and getting paranoid when there is no need to XD

Hi Guys,

Like most of you I don't really worry about scrappers. I have a few which I've actually traded deliberately and also have some bootleg pins solely because they were really eye catching and I just had to have them. I don't think it really matters. I have a gorgeous Jessica Rabbit as a mermaid scrapper/bootleg which is so beautiful I traded a limited edition for it.
I suppose I've been lucky because the pins I mainly collect are Stitch and Tink.

But it is sad to think that some people are being put off trading solely because of scrappers :(

regards

Wendy

hello
thanks for you reply!
Tbh I wouldnt be able to tell the difference if I saw a pin on a cm lanyard and liked it I'd swap it, I wouldnt question it. Even when I looked some pins up on pinpics, even by what was said I couldnt tell if it was a scrapper or not! especially when it said the mickey heads on the back dont go all the way off hte edge but have a border... I couldnt tell! haha. You'd think Disney would be able to make the factories destory the moulds, part of their contract or something :/

Right, i am venting :evil:  I have just looked at my pin purchases over the past month and have to say I am not amused :evil:
This hobby has got out of hand and I don't want to total up what I have spent :oops:  :oops: So I am now frantically looking for someone to blame....apart from myself of course :lol:

I am torn between Pluto and ....well to be honest you lot :!:  All your pretty pin pictures and talk of trades and UP pins has left me unable to resist the power of the PIN, what can I do :(
I am looking to you all to save me from the clutches of THE PIN. Or, alternatively, you could all just tell me its ok and that you all spend more than me [-o<
Lynne

hahahaha I will be your Angel (to go with stitch lol) that I spend waaaaaaay more than you on pins...total for the past month has to be over $600 and thats for only 1 stitch pin and UP set and the rest is on traders XD

and I think Im to blame for the UP pins since Im the one who has those XD

Thanks for that....I do feel better :thumbs:  I must not buy more pins, i must not buy more pins, I must not buy more pins :)

:lol: Aloha,

Do not fret about spending money on pins Bensmum. The PIN will always looks after it's followers. And as I have said before, when you start spending the amount that we do a month, around £300 on Uk pins and then add the 2 to 3 hundred Euros bi-monthly on DLRP pins, then you should start to worry. :lol:
We have been trading a lot in the past week. Got some absolutely awesome pins in trades from the USA.
As soon as Simon shows me how to post photos then I'm afraid the temptation will only grow and grow :-"

Simon has been e-baying again so we have a few pins coming from there aswell.

Have a good day everyone

Aloha

Wendy

Thanks for the words of comfort....I have continued to spend to my hearts content and my bank account has given up the futile fight for life :lol:

I still love my Pins :thumbs:

Hi Lynne,

You're welcome. My bank account self destructed four years ago. :lol:

Check out Pin trading Disney store. I've just been online pin-ning again :oops:  

Wendy

Are you talking about the sale from USA site?  I am happy to report that while trying to purchase too many sale Pins I forgot my username and the reminder only arrived this morning thus stopping me from spending even more cash??
I do need to get a grip!

LMAO..
That was lucky. I sent a list to my friend in the states and she sent me an e-mail earlier telling me how much my load will come to if I go ahead. Nearly $270 :shock: And that doesn't include shipping and taxes. EEEk!!!
I told her to hold fire for now. I have just spent £80 in two days on UK pins so I need to rein myself in. :)

Wendy

uh-oh i've been ebaying it! first time i've bought individual pins off ebay! :O only three, and theyre so so so nice, i'll post photos when they come! One of them i wanted to get when i went to Paris in 2 weeks but bought it off ebay so it was cheaper :D Oh and a bag its a craft bag but is basically a pin bag with clear zip pockets etc, I already have one, and wanted another for when i fill this one :D
here is the one i have,

its exactly the same as the one ive jsut bought off ebay, cost me £13.50 incl P&p and the one i bought originally cost me £5! from tk maxx. Not shown all pages in it, but i can fit in 100 pins :D So think I have bought a few bargains on ebay :D

I want that bag!!!!! :mrgreen:

Quote from: "simonandwendy626"I want that bag!!!!! :mrgreen:

Go on ebay and search multi pocket organiser in the craft section its £11.50 with £1.50 postage soemthing like that, or theres some on for about £14,
My second one came yesterday :D I Love them :D

I got that bag thanks to you and i love it. i've decorated it with Disney badges i have and it looks great. Thank you for saving me so much money as i was going to buy a bag when i go to DLRP in October.

Ro

As soon as we get paid I am definitely getting one of them.  Have just spent 140 Euros on the August pin releases in DLP. :shock:  And that doesn't include the 9.95 P+P..... my bank card is smoking and not in a good way :lol:

Wendy

I have to say i definatly found a bargain ;) my second one came the other day, and now i cant decide on how to organise my pins :D

Just a quick question.

When trading with a cast member, can I swap any one of my pins for any of theirs. Can I swap a core range for a limited edition etc?

Are there any restrictions on what I can and can't trade with cast members?

Thanks,

Martin

Hello guys and glas - new here, but I just wanted to say those bags full of trading pins make me nuts!

Martin- In my experience, the cast members are always more than willing to trade - although some locations are more "friendly" than others.

welcome to the forum Martin, the pins that can be traded have to have the pin trading logo on the back of the pin and only 2 at a time..(thought Id mention that just in case)

and other than that you can trade any pin you have (with above rule) to cast member lanyards. and whatever is on the lanyard can be traded for anything you have.. for example I traded a core pin for the Belle locket LE pin.

Although it can depend on the cast member sometimes because I have been refused a trade because the pin I was trading was LE and the one I was giving was a core pin, that's both in DLP and in the Disney Store. Just thought I would say that so that you're (Martin) not surprised if it does happen, but generally they do just trade. I found the majority of DLRP cast members great for trading with.

Aveen xxx

Thankyou to you all for your quick response. I have about 100 pins, but now have a few unwanted ones as I am more careful choosing themes or characters to collect. I have been collecting pins for a while, but have never traded with a fellow disney fan or cast member.

I am visiting Chester next week so will pop my head in there, are they friendly traders? My local stores are actually Birmingham and Solihull though!

Can't wait to trade... Also going to DLRP on December 27th, plenty of time to buy some traders for using over there.

Very excited now, and once again thanks for your help!!

Martin

Hi Martin - pin trdaing is addictive andonce you start you won't want to stop. Most Disney stores have at least 2 lanyards although some actually have 3. It really depends when you go as to the selection sometimes it is mainly uk core pins other times there is a selection of DLRP and American pins. Happy trading.

Ro

Went to the Chester store, excitedly anticipating my first trade to realise that no CMs were wearing lanyards!

Boo Hoo!

Never mind.. found some lovely other items on my trip, so can't complain.

Thanks again for the welcome and advice!

Martin :)

hi martin.
for future reference if you cant see a lanyard,ask as they usually have them behind the counter

unfortunately quite often there are no lanyards being worn but they keep them in a drawer behind the counter and will always let you look at them.

Ro

I can't remember the last time I saw a Lanyard being worn in the Manchester store. They're always behind the counter. :( Pin Trading has really died down a lot in that store though. It's almost always the same pins everytime we go.

Do they have other starter sets in the Disneyland Paris Park than they have in the online Disney Store?

Welcome to the forum :stitch:

 :mrgreen: So jealous that you are going to DLP for the Xmas season. That is my one dream, to go for xmas.
How long are you going for? Apparently its awesome!!!!

TTFN

Wendy

I really want to go for Halloween could do that this year so going in Jan but maybe next year :)

Hi Wendy,

Just going for three nights, my girlfriends first visit to the park. Personally would go for a week, but I'm not sure she would be as grateful!

I went for Xmas a few years back and it was magical.

Very much looking forward to it.

Regards,

Martin

Hi,

Well the weather is A-Typical for August. We've been perusing the DLP website, watching video footage of the new Toy Story Playland and I must say it looks pretty Darned Amazing. Can't wait to explore it, especially at night. All those lights must look amazing.
Was just surprised that they haven't released any new pins for that area, or Toy Story in general. :o
We want pins of Lotso and the gang.  But as usual they've been slow to release them.
Why can't we get first releases for a change????Waaaaah!
Sorry :oops: Just feeling a little Lack of Disney blues here.

Did anyone manage to get a hold of the surprise release of Tinkerbell sitting on the moon which came out last saturday?

Wendy

Woohoo!

Made my first five trades today!!

Managed to get some good ones including Goofy in the Cast Lanyard series!

I can't wait to make some more!

Hi ALL,

I have made a signature but no matter how small i make it it will not display. what am i doing wrong?

Ro

I can't remember who it was that said they had loads of them, but does anyone have a spare UK Grape Soda pin? I'd be looking to either trade for it (my PinPics is Masamune), or maybe buy it. :lol: It's not for me though, so the problem with buying is that I wouldn't be wanting to pay too much above cost.

:) I realise that it may be a lost cause, but I figure there's no harm in asking.

^  It was me... I've still got them as I bought them for trading at PTN in Florida but forgot to pack my good traders, so I didn't get my chance.  I've just had a little look through your traders and can't see any that I'm after at the moment.  I'm going to see what they trade like in DLP in Oct.

 :) Ahh, no problem. Gosh, that really sucks that you forgot to pack them! :( How unlucky.

I would be needing it pretty soon unfortunatly, so I'll just have to keep looking. As I said, it's most likely a lost cause at this point.

Hi to everyone,

Today was really nice and as I traipsed up the hill to the post office to send off my multi trades to the states I couldn't help wondering what it would be like in DLP today.
I definitely have withdrawal symptoms :cry:
My friend texted me as well to tell me about his first trip to WDW and how he's missing it already. Wanting to know where he could get his fix of Disney.
So I went to my Disney store to trade but there was nothing new on the lanyards.
 :( Can't wait for the Stitch as Jack Sparrow now. Am counting down the days until it comes out. It should definitely be a better trader than Woody's sheriff badge. I got five to trade thinking they'd fly out but have only traded two and they were trades we set up. I've had more interest in the Dalmations pin :shock:
Has anyone else had much luck on the trading front?

Wendy

Hey wendy,
I am very badly having dlrp withdrawl as It has been a year since I have been now :(  :( (last september) and I probably wont get to go the rest of this year as I have to many financial commitments :( *sniff, sniff*

Also my Local Disney store in Belfast isn't doing pin trading now since the store has been renovated, they are just selling some of the left over pins they have from a while ago.

 :cry:

Kind of glad I didnt go to Belfast now as part of the trip for me was to go to the store. Shame really and its a wonder why they stopped selling pins there, I might email customer services and find out.

I went down to the river today to eat my lunch and sat near the Alice in wonderland statue we have here in Guildford.
It's the closest to Disney I'm gonna get until February :cry:

I am restarting to collect pins again now. I have narrowed down what I am collecting to

Alice pins (only pins that feature alice " " ")
Beauty and the Beast pins (mainly Belle and the Beast)
Pocahontas pins
Mulan pins
A few female characters I like - penny, esmeralda, mary poppins, mrs incredible, megara, jessie, tiana, jasmine etc
Lilo and stitch pins - the ones that feature both lilo and stitch mainly
Disneyland paris event/attractions
characters dressed as other characters

and pins that feature characters pin trading/with lanyards etc

 :lol: It's the female characters bit where you seem to get a little carried away.

I'm also cutting down from now on its only...

Mickey pins
Group pins feat Mickey
Mickey Moment related series
Attraction pins - especially if they have mickey on them!
Hautned Mansion/Phantom Manor pins

there isnt many, Im working on 1 pin for each cousin so a few more to get but are ds,com le250 or japan le100...

We now have 1864 pins in our personal collection and considering I was only going to collect Stitch and Tink we have a varied collection.

Howdy all!

Just wondering, how many of you collect/pin trade pins from Disney World in USA?
And is the pins from DLRP often the same as Disney World got?
Just wondering, since when I was at Disney World now, I bough a lot of pins.

Dizpins is closing!! :(  :(  :(

Heres the link to the post:
//http://dizpinsboards.yuku.com/topic/18673

I dont understand why no one is allowed to talk about it though. Or why someone else cannot take over the board or start a new one :?

Norhel - DLRP usually has their own pins separate from wdw  :)

Does seem rather strange Aveen, I wonder if there's more to it than meets the eye.. :-k

Ah they are talking about it now and people are saying they also dont understand why someone else can't take over the website.

hey I made a forum for when dizpins closes :)

http://dizneepins.forumotions.com/forum.htm (http://dizneepins.forumotions.com/forum.htm%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)

Now dizpins is closing i have been given 3 other forums so far which means either everyone will join all 3 and see which one is preferred or only 1/3 of people will be on each one, i will check all 3 to satrt with but it's quite annoying as it takes more time to find out the asme info which was really nicely and easily presented.

Ro

Just wondering, does anyone else has trouble to use the search function at http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pint ... arch/index (http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/search/index%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;) ?

I have been having a look around the new forums that are on Dizpins now that it has closed.  

For information I think DQ Talk http://www.dqforum.com (http://www.dqforum.com"%20onclick="window.open(this.href);return%20false;) is good, they have some upcoming UK pin information and up to date information for DLRP along with the new releases for the US parks.

Aloha! :stitch:

Has anyone else tried the awesome new addition to PinPics?
It makes trading so much easier.
You can input your ID and the ID of a trader who's contacted you and click on their trades and your wants and it magically brings up exactly that. It's made trading so much easier and quicker for us.
Have done some awesome trades this week which I will post when they arrive so I can bathe in your envy :mrgreen:  he he he!

If you haven't already then try it. Its awesome!!!!

@____@ It's now 2:20am. It's taken me over 4 hours, but basically what I've done is add almost ALL of the non-collection pins that are on my Owns list to my Trades list. So now I have almost 300 traders listed. They're mostly Core pins, but I just feel like this had to be done. Hopefully I can start getting rid of my non-collection pins in favour of pins that I'm actually a collector of.

omg 4 hours! Go you hun!! :thumbs:

LOL, I regret nothing!

:) And I've already had PMs on the Disney Pin Forum, so I know I did the right thing.

thats great lindsay...I had a look and you took alot off XD

 :lol: They're all still on my Owns list, as that would be far too much effort to take them all off. They're just on my Trades list at the same time.

LOL least when or if you trade them then they can come off your owns list, that way no effort has to be involved XD

 :P Exactly! It's aaaaall good!

Hi,
Does anyone know if the dlp.pintrading.mail.order@disney.com address is still in use?

I sent an email to it over a week ago and haven't had a reply. It was just a quick question to ask the cost of postage of pins to the UK. Hopefully someone here might be able to answer that for me?

How does everyone else order their pins direct? If that email address is still in use, I don't know whether I want to email over my credit card details, and have them sitting in their inbox for over a week :(

Thanks for any help!

I really want the valentines day pin, old style mickey and minnie (fave characters) in front of the eiffel tower ( my favorite place in the entire world) its my dream pin, but i just know the p&p would be stupid for one pin. hoping when i go in summer they'll be some left over in the cabinets, plus i'll get my cm discount ;) so fingers crossed orrrr ebay

Hi,
Anyone know if the disneystore uk pin gaston LE 150 was on sale as I went on this morning and was not sure if it had sold out lol  :?
cheer
Scrumpman

It only got updated after 5 so you could only buy it after then up until then it was still on coming soon :)

Waaah! Still not available to buy yet. I want Gaston!!!!!

Someone on the uk post bought one earlier? Have they sold out??

Have just had another look on Uk DS website and now there is a red box saying this item is not available on both Gaston and Dumbo but the core Mickey pin is available :?:

Sooo confused :!: :?

well  when I went on a few weeks ago the Saturday the valentines pin was released in store I went online and it
said not available and after that was taken off so I assume that's what happens when it sells out :( surprised on the dumbo pin :/

Gaston appears to be sold out. The pins became available at around 5:15pm, and the Gaston pin is only LE 100 according to the info. That's potentially only 50 orders, if every order takes 2 each. :( I got in my order as soon as they came online, but even I'm not sure if I've been successful. The order confirmation e-mail is worthless to me right now.

:x waaaaa I obviously missed it oh well get the others at my local store tomorrow (Dumbo and core) hopefully they will have them.
 :)

Well Ladies and Gentleman its official.......

We have spent too much money........

Pin collection now at 2000........

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So many pins.......so little time

:P how do you store them? do you organize them or just as is?

I have mine in a craft bag butttt its full and now im thinking for all my ones that are on backing cards im thinking a folder with clear wallets inside, you know the ones for trading cards :) and i only have 200 nevermind 2000!!! do you have them all on show, id become majorly ocd needing them to be in some order haha

Quote from: "treble":P how do you store them? do you organize them or just as is?

Well Treble,

We have about 10 pin bags in total then a about three pin boards which have the Stitch invasion series on them.
The bottom of our wardrobe has just pins...he he :lol:

It's the first time I've posted on this part of this site but I've been quietly reading it for a little bit now!- so I'll introdice my self a little. Only recently started 'collecting' pins in the last year but have always had a few lurking around. My favourite one I own is a box set from 1997 with Mickey mouse dressed up as a jester for the 5th Anniversary celebration, but mainly I collect Pluto, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars ( only Disney character dressed up as), Cheshire Cat/Alice and the 7 dwarfs. There is this one//http://www.disneystore.com/disney-store-official-site-for-disney-merchandise-110th-legacy-collection-snow-white-and-the-seven-dwarfs-pin/mp/1282397/1000287/?Nr=pPublished:1&D=snow%20white%20110th&Ntk=All_Shopping&Nu=pProductID&Ntt=snow%20white%20110th&Dr=pPublished:1&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&Dx= out at the moment from DisneyStore.com which I really REALLY want, but they're charging $35 for delivery, which seems slightly heavy, but hopefuly it will pop up on ebay and will be slightly cheaper as they won't be charging that much for postage!
We just got back from our amazing holiday and ofc we got some more pins, but I always seem to get home and wish I got other ones that I saw too, supose you've got to draw a line somewhere though!

Does any one have there eye one any upcoming pins, and just can't wait to get them?  I find pin collecting is quite a difficult hobby some times, especially in the UK, as it is so hard to find people who are also interested and want to chat about it.
