I have just seen some fantastic news about Pin Trading :)
Over the last few months Disney Store UK have been selling a small range of pins online and in London stores.
In January I noticed that a lot of the pins had sold out and didn't appear on the website. I asked a Disney Store Cast Member and she told me that it was a trial and it was popular. I didn't think about it anymore until I found a webpage on the official Disney Store webpage!
http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/pins.aspx (http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/pins.aspx)
Here is what is says about Pin Trading:
QuoteThe Walt Disney Company has always offered collectible Disney pins in each of its Parks and Resorts around the world. In 1999 we introduced the tradition of Disney Pin Trading. Today, thousands of Guests trade pins with other Guests and Cast Members from around the world. This year, Pin Trading is coming to the Disney Store in the UK. Our Cast Members are busy getting a collection together so that they will soon be able to start trading with our Guests. You can start collecting pins online and in our stores very soon. We will be releasing new pins every month including Limited Editions and Online Exclusives. Why not start a collection yourself?
With the details of the initial range:

and the details of the first wave of Limited Edition pins:
(//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/ASSETS/IMAGES/pintrading/limitededition_page2.jpg)
as you can see the Limited Edition pins are in 3 category's!
Event Edition - part of Pin Trading events?
Online Edition - Only available online?
Limited Edition - available instore?
I personally think that this is great news :)
But I do not yet know when they will start selling the pins :(
This is great, i love pin trading although 75% of my pins are from WDW. Itll be great to be able to start collecting again here in the u.k ! :D
I hope that means 'All' Disney Stores in the UK.. :wink: :D
Quote from: "Javey74"I hope that means 'All' Disney Stores in the UK.. :wink: :D
I hope so too ;)
I think you will find pins in every store
(i doubt they would advertise 'store' pins online if they are only for London stores)
we will just have to wait and find out!
:o It's not just London stores that have been selling the pins. The store here in Manchester has too, and I think I saw them at the store in The Trafford Centre a while back as well. :) I love the idea of pin trading being available here, as it would save me £3 if I were able to trade for a Disney Store UK pin that I wanted rather than buying it.
Wendybird bought me the LAST Mickey Mouse one in Covent Garden's store last week...
and Now I've seen the Toy Story and WALL-E ones (I'm sure I remember seeing a Lightning McQueen one online) I want those ones... and the new chip and dale, and sorceror mickey... I'm going to have one for each day of teaching prac.... if i can get enough that is

I have the lightning McQueen pin in front of me :lol:
If you see it online (and you want it) you should get it as there are trial pins and I doubt they will be on sale again (unless they come back in the future!)
I am curious about the 'LE: Event Edition' pins
is there going to be pin events say in Oxford Street??
some questions that need to be answered:Q: Will we see the whole range in all stores or just a limited range in smaller stores
Q: How many pins will be released a month (like 1 -2 core pins)
Q: will they sell accessories like lanyards?
Q: Will all pins be character based?
Q: Prices (will they stick to £3 or increase it)?
:lol:
You could email
service@disneystore.co.uk to see if they could answer your questions. I have previously asked them a question about an out of production DVD and they replied within a few days.
thanks for the idea!
I am e-mailing them now and will share the reply in this topic!
:D I picked up the Lady and the Tramp pin at the Manchester store today. :shock: It was only £3, even though it's Limited Edition of 800. :P I'm gonna go back and buy another on Wednesday if they still have them, so I can trade it for a Limited pin next time I go to DLRP.
QuoteLady and the Tramp pin
Limited Edition????
the one in the 'heart'?
I didn't realise they had started to sell the new pins yet
Edit: There has been 2 pins released in the new range (both of the 'Event Edition' pins) which does include the lady and the tramp!
But only in 14 Disney Stores :|
please Disney release the core pins in Disney Stores everywhere [-o<

Toy Story
Mickey and Friends
Bolt
WALL-E
Tinks
Stitch (Both Versions)
Sorcerers Apprentice Mickey
Chip 'n' Dale
Lightning McQueen (If I can find one)
and any other Pixar Related ones.
I just have to await the response to the e-mail I sent them [-o< [-o<
I hope they will sell a lanyard or 2 ;)
All my pins (with exception of one) are from WDW, I can't wait for the stores to start selling! My nearest store, isn't so near :roll: So i'll be online for me! :D/
I am excited by this as 15MagicalYears said above!
It now means we can add pins to our collection when not at Disney Parks and even get to trade!!
shame about the Disney Stores that are so far away from people :(
This might just get me into the crazy, money-draining pin-trading hobby. Once upon a time, I used to collect pins of all sorts, not just Disney pins, but that was before pin trading became what it is today!

I am sorry that I could not be of more help on this occasion.

it was worth a try :(
I've been a Pin Shopping in Caerdydd (Cardiff)
Today's Aquistations: Buzz Lightyear, Lightning McQueen and Mickey & Friends.
These take my collection up to 4 not bad considering I only had my first one last week!
Nearly bought one of the two valentines ones (Lady and the Tramp, The Muppets: Kermit and Miss Piggy) but chose the Mickey and Friends one that just so happened to be the store last one!
Roll on online sales I will be getting a couple more to the arsenal so by Teaching practise alongside these little treasures I will have a variety of Pixar themed waistcoats (That is If I can get hold of the fabrics - although Duvet covers might be handy in that respect)
The two valentine day pins are now available online!
(//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/assets/images/pintrading/limitededition_page2.jpg)
This seems to mean that the 'Event Edition' pins are for holidays etc like valentines day and not Pin Trading events!
This Pin trading thing is getting tempting. So far we've got 1 pin from DLRP which was given to my daughter when we waited for the parade in summer 2007 and she has treasured it since.
Once you've collected the pins how on earth do you decide which ones to trade or so ou buy 'doublers'?(i don't think I've used that word since primary school when I used to collect stickers from the newsagents and swap in school)

Of course you don't have to swap ;)
What I tend to do is if I see a pin I like more than a pin on my lanyard I will ask to trade!!
Went pin shopping myself today. I couldn't seem to find them in the Oxford Street store (which I found a little strange) but I did find them at Covent Garden.
Got myself Lightning McQueen, Buzz Lightyear and the Kermit/Piggy one. The Buzz one doesn't seem to be part of the "core range" pictured either, so I guess that's another trial one :)
Kermit and Piggy was £5, but unlike the Lady and the Tramp one, Kermit is raised on the pin. I guess that's where the price difference comes from, since it's also LE of 800.
I have just done 90 mile round trip to my nearest Disney Store, in my brand new car, that I'm too scared to drive, to only be told that they dont sell them :evil: :( and know nothing about them, she suggested buying online (they only have 2, and I cant buy "store exclusives" online can I? :( and I'm NOT paying nearly £5 P&P for an item that only costs £3 to start with :( im so mad right now

Which ones? is there a list on the website? I'm not going to waste my time and petrol again so I need to be sure i can get them
Also does anyone know who I can email concerning this matter?
QuoteAlso does anyone know who I can email concerning this matter?

you can find the details on a fan blog at: http://disneypinstation.wordpress.com/2 ... tore-pins/ (http://disneypinstation.wordpress.com/2009/01/31/first-limited-edition-disney-store-pins/)
but basically it is the 2 valentine day pins which are available online
I e-mailed the Disney Store the other day and I got a response which is in an earlier post ^
it basically said that they wouldn't know because it concerns actual stores but said:
QuoteHowever, I can provide you with a telephone number of our Guest Relations department, who may be able to assist you further. The number is 0208 22 23 333.
so you could try that number
thanks for the info but I refuse to buy online! im NOT paying £4.75 p&p on a pin badge that costs £3
What I really want to know is which stores are selling them, which arent, why they arent, and why our CM's im our Disneystore know nothing about them ggrrrrr!!!!

To be honest that is what I want to know as well
If there is only 800 they must be spread out very thinly so I wonder if it is only large stores :(
I want to know if the core range will be in all stores and if not I will be very disappointed :(
well it appears not, not unless our CM's are completely incompitant and had them in boxes in the stock room
In Norwich they had none, and no idea about them, and I wont be traveling to Cambridge unless I know for sure that they are selling them
QuoteIn Norwich they had none, and no idea about them, and I wont be traveling to Cambridge unless I know for sure that they are selling them
Those are the 2 Disney stores I use! The closest is Cambridge
thanks for the Norwich info I certainly will not go to Norwich to see if they sell any!
I will ring the Cambridge store tomorrow to see if they are selling the pins :) and let you know if they do!

I was thinking the exact same thing ;) and as Chris is working in Cambridge this week, i'll be super happy if they have some :D if not I dont know what I'll do :(
Quote from: "casschr05"If there is only 800 they must be spread out very thinly so I wonder if it is only large stores :(
The store in Covent Garden is actually very small, especially compared to some of the other Disney Stores in London (on Oxford Street and at the Westfield centre, for example). My guess is that, in the larger cities where there's more than one store, they're only having one store stock them, so it's probably in 14 cities.
Hmmm, the fact that I've just found out the Manchester store is stocking them could be VERY dangerous for my bank balance! :lol:
I love the Lady and the Tramp Valentines pin! Aww! =D>
News Update: The Range of Pins (Complete Range that is) is Available online from February 13th but is Available in Stores Nationwide as of February 14th.
Happy Ordering
I ordered the 2 valentines day pins and the Mickey Christmas pin
very quick delivery!!
By the way price information has been released see: http://disneypinstation.wordpress.com/2 ... -revealed/ (http://disneypinstation.wordpress.com/2009/02/05/uk-disney-store-pin-prices-revealed/)
also there are some clearer pictures on that site
(the information was taken from the official pin trading site but finding the information can sometimes be difficult so the above site makes it easier!)
(//http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/418071786400.jpg)
:shock: WANT!!!]
(especially since I'll be there for St Paddy's day :))
haha my reaction!
I love that stitch pin! I was surprised it was on there but dont forget the easter pin iwasnt on the initial releases so I think the official site made a mistake with the release date as I guess it would come under 'event pins' nearer the time?
It also says that the Valentine's pins are available in-store on the 14th... which means I'm a time traveller!
Just noticed they changed the name too, now instead of "Event Pins" they have the slightly clearer name of "Celebration Pins"

Maybe they still have some of those LE pins left so more Disney Stores will be getting them?
I was in the Manchester store today and couldn't find any pins, I was gutted! :( I'll try the Trafford Centre next week!
hey Guys the Valentines pins will not be available in all stores, as these has all been allocated to the original 14 stores in the Uk which were launching pins! However a large amount have been sent to online so grab them while you can.
Event Pins changed to Celebration Pins because Event Pins in america are usually for really big events.
The website changed the selection of pins available on the 14th because the release was going to be earlier and more have been added due to the loss of 2 trading weeks!!!
So excited for the Launch! hope the stores are busy!

hmm some nice upcoming pins there!!
I wonder if that Mickey pin has anything to do with the celebration theme??
the princess and prince pins are obviously a pin series
but some nice pin releases from today and the upcoming pins :)
I was in the Gatehead MetroCentre branch last night, I didn't notice any wall stands ready for today on the Pin Trading front, but on asking a Cast Member I was told that the store did have some arrivals, now kept in the rear of the store, but were still awaiting a lot to arrive.. :) He indicated that the first batch will all be in shortly and they should have the new shelving to accommodate them in about a weeks time.. :wink:
So that means they should be in for when I arrive back from DLRP... :D/ :D/
By the way what do these pins have imprinted on the back, and can you trade them in DLRP or not.. :?:
Sorry if this has already been asked.. :mrgreen:
most just have the disney store exclusive logo and the copyright Disney text like normal pins
the limited edition pins have:
LE[number of pins] so you don' actually know what number pin you have
I would presume you can trade at DLRP belongs they have the logos as they depict Disney!
but if anyone knows different!

official pin trading logo (you know the one in the Mickey head and has the year)
I know what you mean there casschr05, nifty.. :D
Disney store Norwich now has pins :) as of fri 13th. We finally got some :)
Hey Everyone!!!
Disney Pins should have been in all uk stores on the 14th Feb! They are displayed in a frame at the till point only and should be on display at all times.
The Pins are tradable at DLRP and around the world and when cast members start trading in the uk next month they will be wearing DLRP pins :D as they are working in line with Disney store
hiiiii, i havent been on in forever, but im back now for good.
Before i started collecting the pins, then thought better off it, but seen as we are now selling them at work- i've decided to start collecting them lol.
Has anyone bought any yet?
I've got the pinochoio LE one. They came out yesterday and were selling quick!!

I'm gonna have to prove you wrong here ;) I was in Glasgow today, and they have the frame-stands at
both Disney stores I went to there.
Incidentally, they didn't have the Valentines pins at either, but they did have the Easter and St Patrick's Day ones, so I guess the Valentines ones are limited to those initial 14 stores, still.

Not so unlucky then :wink:
I have to say I haven't bought any from the Disney Store. I suppose it's because my fiance collects the ones of rides we've been on and hotels we've stayed in plus a few LE ones.
Are the Disney Store going to be regularly stocking them?
I am going to collect them!
I brought the 2 valentines day pins last week and going to the cambridge Disney store on Thursday to buy a few ;)
also there is a fairly big Disney Store UK pins thread here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=6405 (https://forum.dlpguide.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=6405)
feel free to join the discussion ;)

Yay!
by looking at what people have said above that should be Cambridge are selling pins as well
:D/ :D/ :D/ :D/ :D/ :D/ :D/
if not I am going to Norwich ;)
More information on the upcoming releases...
For the pins released on 27th/28th Feb:
Band Leader Mickey
(//http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/418071787490.jpg) (//http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=42773)
£7, Limited Edition of 1000, the hand holding the baton is apparently movable.
Cinderella - Dress Transformation
(//http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/418071787568.jpg) (//http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=42776)
Also £7, and a Limited Edition of 1000, the dress spins to magically transform from Cinderella's normal clothes into her ball gown.
I'll post up info on the other releases, once the pin trading website starts co-operating again.
EDIT: Hm, they don't have information up for those pins yet. Which is odd, since they have information for WDW and DLR pins for March and beyond!
i work in one of the smallest disney stores and we sell them.
it is all of them, when they were released on saturday byt the end of the day we had like one LE pinochio left, they went so quick.
I wonder though about pin trading in the stores, we'll need our own pins to trade, and I like mine!! they're all dlrp ones and eurodisney, not worth much but theyre mine! ha, wonder if disney will provide us with a few seen as its a new thing here in the uk, and only just available to buy??
Ah yeah good topic already going, maybe it coule be moved into merch & pin trading though, instead of world of disney.
and yes its all disney stores, and its now a constant thing :)
Im going to town tomorrow, going to check out Cardiffs Disney store pins ! :D
Around 2003 the Disney stores were selling badges. that's when I got my first lanyard.it came with 4 winnie the pooh badges,one of winnie,one of tigger,one of piglet and one of eore.I also got one of the jungle book 2.The pins were sold as pin trading badges but did not use the logo (look at my avertar)
Does anyone know if they are selling pin trading lanyards?
(also are the cast member pins on the lanyards the same as the pins being sold?)
Went in cardiffs disney store today and i couldnt find any pins :(
Where are they situated in other stores ?
Quote from: "Owain"Went in cardiffs disney store today and i couldnt find any pins :(

There should be a little frame at the checkout, with a similar black/red colour scheme to the online site.
In other news, I got my pins from online today. Though now I understand why they overcharge for postage, HUGE DHL bag for... 3 pins. I would have been happy with popping them in the post first class, if it would have saved me money.

Yeah same on that!
When I recieved my Valentine pins they were in a envelope larger than A4 and inside was another envelope then the pins were inside that!
so I saw why you spend that much on packaging!!!
oooo i want mine to come now!!!!! How long does postage take?
I decided if i was going to pay £5 p&p i was going to make it worth my while, so I got....
Lady and the Tramp Valentines Pin x2
Mickey Mouse Sorcerers Apprentice Pin (Online Exclusive)
Hula Stitch Pin
Walle with Plant Pin
St Patrick's Day Stitch Pin
Bambi and Thumper Easter Pin
to add to my collection of two lol (Beauty and the Beast and Pinnocio :D) I am going to have to document my entire collection again, as I havent since our Christmas trip :roll:
Already planning a trip into the city to buy some more, who said pins would take off in the uk???? :lol:
When they say two limited ed ones. do they mean up to two of each??
Just noticed the new "Pinformation" page at http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/pins-popup.htm (http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/pins-popup.htm)
Some choice quotes:
QuoteThe Core range will change quarterly, bestsellers may be repeated.
QuoteLimited Editions will release every two weeks.
Quote- Limited Edition Pins - Guests may purchase two (2) Pins per Guest, per style, per day.
- Core Pins – Guests may purchase up to twenty-five (25) Pins per Guest, per style, per day.
- Online Exclusive Pins - Guests may purchase two (2) Pins per Guest, per style per day.
- Celebration Pins - Guests may purchase two (2) Pins per Guest, per style per day.
Incidentally, that also seems to answer your question, Clare. It's 2 of each pin per user per day, for LE pins, and 25 of each pin per user per day of open edition pins.
The postage didn't take too long - I ordered on Friday evening, and it arrived today. I assume it was sent out on Monday, though.
Thanks! :D I wish the girls in our Disney Store would get their facts right grrr!!
aw :( that means I could have ordered more, that sucks
It also seems like they're already sold out of St Patrick's Day Stitch pins! They've disappeared from the Celebration Pins page (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/products/25/2502/Celebration-Edition.aspx) (and mine is a bit rattle-y too. Hope it doesn't break... might have to take a trip to Covent Garden to get a backup at the weekend)
hehe I'm soooo glad I orderd that one now :D must be popular, that trip to the city is now a must, have to buy one for ToonArmyLass' Son along with another hula stitch :D :D
I hope they have that LE St Patricks day Stitch pin in Cambridge tomorrow!
if not I will let you know about Norwich :D
Quote from: "Clarebelle"if not I will let you know about Norwich :D
thank you :D :D
just praying they have them at cambridge so I don't need to trek up to Norwich [-o<
:P Before I went to DLRP, I bought the Buzz one and the Squirt one, both of which I traded away. Since coming back, I've bought the Lady and the Tramp one, the Bambi and Thumper one and the Wall-E one.
:D I can't wait for them to release the Alice and Cheshire one in March. Also, does anyone know when they're going to start the actual Pin Trading?
:shock: I feel so bad for those of you who have to order them online. I'm so glad that Manchester is selling them. :P When that Alice/Cheshire pin comes out in March, I'm going to be there on the same day.
So far I've bought the Lady and the Tramp one, the Bambi and Thumper one and the Wall-E one.

A disney store Cast Member told me today that if the pins are successful then in the near future they will have the lanyards and actual pin trading!
Just returned from Cambridge and very happy!!
They are selling pins and I brought:
* St Patrick Stitch
* Fab 5 group pin
* Walle
* Mickey (core pin)
The woman who served was very nice and it was quiet in the store so she started talking to me about the pins and asked if I already collected them.
She said that the pins are still being 'trialled' however so far they are popular and if they remain to be popular Cast Members will receive lanyards and pins to trade with guests :)
also in the near future (after the pins take off) lanyards will be sold :D
:) It'll be great when they start proper pin trading. I wonder what cast members would have on their lanyards to begin with though. I doubt they would be wearing the pins that are for sale, as that would mean that people could trade for them instead of buying!
Aw :( you beat me to it :( we were told the same thing today in Norwich)...
but did you spot this? ....

On the bottom right corner ;) has anyone seen this before? its Aurora (part of the same "series" as the "Cindy & Castle Pin" which will be a four part series :D when we asked the girls knew nothing about it *shrugs* but if it is going to be 4 part series one would conclude that it will be one from the series released each quarter, and that the princesses will be Aurora Cinderella Belle and Snow White? no?
Heres my collection so far :D (plus a couple of multiples lol I now have 3 Stitch Paddy's day LE ooops

I also just ordered the rest of the online ed :oops: and the other valentines one :S this is going to proove expensive
Hey Guys
This isnt a trial, that has already taken place. Layards will be in store early march and cast members will begin trading mid march with a selection of dlrp pins so you wont trade with the same ones you can buy. There are also gonna be disney store exclusive cast member pins only availiable if you trade.
Pin are available in all stores and the till point
Quote from: "Captain Pan"I've been a Pin Shopping in Caerdydd (Cardiff)
Today's Aquistations: Buzz Lightyear, Lightning McQueen and Mickey & Friends.
These take my collection up to 4 not bad considering I only had my first one last week!
Nearly bought one of the two valentines ones (Lady and the Tramp, The Muppets: Kermit and Miss Piggy) but chose the Mickey and Friends one that just so happened to be the store last one!
Roll on online sales I will be getting a couple more to the arsenal so by Teaching practise alongside these little treasures I will have a variety of Pixar themed waistcoats (That is If I can get hold of the fabrics - although Duvet covers might be handy in that respect)
Well Valentine has been nice to me... Another 3 Pins (I did Want 5... But Wendybird1 was cruel and heartless and prohibited me to 3)
WALL-E, Bolt & Mickey: Sorcerers Apprentice
Taking my collection to 8: 8? You may ask... Pan's only bought 3 and had 4 from Wendybird1
But a friend in Uni wanted to do some trading... and I gave her nothing... for a Sleepy from DLRP!
So 8 Pins!
Quote from: "Owain"Went in cardiffs disney store today and i couldnt find any pins :(
Where are they situated in other stores ?
Owain: The Pins are located at the checkout in Caerdydd! Small Silver Frame with Black board (well thats what it was last time I was in our Capital!) Keep Searching!
I got this from the disney store in york today :D

Apparantly according to the Cast Members in Cambridge they are still being trialled to see if they take off in the 'smaller' stores
(unlike the trial pins in the 14 stores)
They want to see how successful they are before they start actual trading
Clare: I noticed that earlier! I guess its another release that hasnt been mentioned yet
well as the core pins are only to be released quarterly... is it a boo boo?
Quote from: "Clarebelle"well as the core pins are only to be released quarterly... is it a boo boo?
it could be :(
but you never know it may be an early release for whatever reason?
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

Thanks Pan ! Im going to take another trip there :D
:P 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.
well apperently we've been told trading will be happening and it says on the website aswell.
yeah it isnt a trial. Im from a small store and we've been told it will be happening :).
im exchanging my pinochio one tomorrow becasue the pin itself isnt straight its bent :s i bought the bambi anf thumper one the other day aswell, i didnt realise thumpers paw moves so hes eating the egg :D
:P 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. :)
They are sold out on the website
:o 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 :D
:D
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
Tiddles
:mickey2:
:) I picked up 2 more Lady and the Tramp pins today, so now I have 3 spare. :P £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:
hehe I loved Stitch so much I bought 3 (I wasnt very happy with my first one, the colour on the back wasnt all over :? )
:? however my online editions are still not here, ordered them off the web Thursday afternoon, so counting only Fri Mon and Today thats 3 of the 3-5 days postage, and still no dispatch note, considering how quick the others were to come (here on the 3rd day!! :shock: ) Should I be worried??

give it a couple more days Clare :?
If you don't get the dispatch e-mail tomorrow I would e-mail them to ask they are normally very helpful
if you need the e-mail address just let me know :)
:P I resisted the Stitch pin when it was in stock. As much as I like Stitch, I wasn't willing to shell out £5 on that pin because I have other Stitch pins that I like a lot more. :o
Hey everyone!
i was in work on saturday and reading through the "Pinformation"- the limited edition pins are due to be released every 2 weeks and will be released on the net the previous day before release date, after 5pm.
lanyards should be available from start of march in store.
also there is to be cast member trading but there is no confirmed date yet.
im loving the limited edition pins- gonna invest in some of them this weekend
ooh just a note on limited edition pins- the stores have their complete allocation when the pin is released - ie there will be no restocking of the limited edition pins.
so once store sold out of particular limited edition pin they wont be restocking it :(
hope some of this info is useful! cant wait for the pin trading :)
In regards to the Limited Edition pins, do you know around how many each store recieves? Lets say it's a pin that's a Limited Edition of 800, how many of those pins would each store get? 800 divided by 14 stores is about 57, but I'm not sure if some stores would get more or less. :P
Hey Masamune
im not 100% sure as i just briefly read through the info but i dont think pins are not distributed evenly throughout stores- i think the amount recieved depends on the size of the store and how well the performed in the trial- also a certain no are reserved for online.
i will double check the information in store
:lol: Totally forgot to take the online number into account as well. No matter how many pins each store recieves, the popularity of the pin is what's gonna make it sell out. In the Manchester store, the St Patrick's Day Stitch pin is sold out already, but they still have both Valentine's Day pins.
I really enjoy collecting pins, so it is very sad that we don't have any Disney Store here in Austria. I'm jealous about the UK and France.
During my time in the US, I have been to some Disney Stores, but they didn't sell any pins, except the WoD Store in NY. But I have been there before Disney bought the Stores again.
It looks like details of the pins released on March 14th are finally up on the official pin trading catalogue...
"Alice and the Cheshire Cat"
(//http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/418071786578.jpg) (//http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=43147)
The usual-by-now £7 and LE of 1000. Though it doesn't say it on the catalogue page, it looks like Cheshire is a dangly bit, rather than a fixed pin-on-pin.
"Romance Series - Sleeping Beauty"
(//http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/418071786738.jpg) (//http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=43146)
Again, £7 and LE of 1000. Nothing spectacular to say about this one, except that it does seem to be a follow-up to the Beauty and the Beast one, with the same "Romance Series" title.
wow they look fab! cant wait for them to be released now :(
My collection of Limited Editions is so far complete (until tomorow :-k ) even have a couple of repeats :D so now just have to work on the core pins (only 4 so far :( )
@_________@ That Cheshire pin is AMAZING! :D It does indeed look like it's a dangle pin. :-k I knew it looked familiar though. It's the exact same design as a pin that I own already.
(//http://www.pinpics.com/img/p730/pin36545)
(//http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/418071786578.jpg)
:lol: See? Not that it bothers me though. :P I'm going to be at my local Disney store first thing on Saturday the 14th!
OMG!!!! i cant believe that! lol
I have to wait until Sunday to complete my collection :(
o.o Complete your collection? :shock: Have you bought nearly all the available pins so far?
all limited eds, trying not to go mad on core pins just yet :oops:
Here they are, i think thats all of them, including repeats, if anyone is interested in any of my repeats let me know!
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/DSCF5074.jpg)
Three St Paddy's Day Stitches? You're madder than me! :P
That is a lot of UK pins, though. I'm jealous.
yeh only three ;) hehe
I thought everyone was snapping these up? no?
I thought if iwas going to collect them, i would do it properly :oops:
Maybe I'm the silly type who tends to only get one of each. I do have 2 Stitches though.
I actually bought 1 for myself off of the web, one for ToonArmyLass's son who everyone knows loves stitch! and one for casschr (or whatever his screen name is:P) incase he couldnt get one in cambridge as there were only 4 left in Norwich, so now I have two, and only three if Natalie has one already
I've merged the two topics about this, hope that's not confusing.
It's in this board btw because Merchandise & Pin Trading is really just for DLRP stuff. World of Disney is the place for Disney Channel, Disney Theatrical, Disney Stores, etc. I might see if we can make the board descriptions clearer sometime.
:o The amount you end up spending on pins soon adds up, which is why the Wall-E one is the only Core pin I've bought so far. :) I'll probably treat myself to another Core pin next time I get paid, since they're going to be around for much longer than Limited Edition pins.
In regards to getting extras, I think it's a good idea. I have four Lady and the Tramp pins now; one for myself and three extras. Since these pins are exclusive to the Disney Stores in Europe, I think it'll be worth listing some of these Limited pins on eBay, since I'm sure there's many Americans who would like them. :P And even if they don't sell, it's always good to have Limited pins for trading incase you end up going to a Pin Trading night.
I'm starting to regret not buying the Stitch pin for that reason!
Could some please explain to me what a core pin is?
"Core" pins are the UK Disney store's way of saying "open edition" pins, i.e. those that aren't limited edition.
More pins out on the website this evening. It's gonna take all I have not to rush over there this evening and buy some, with that ridiculous shipping charge...
Thanks for clearing that up for me Agent Lex.

And with the release of the LE pins, comes the preview of the next two. These both look awesome!

Maleficent!!! I cant wait now :D
:( just realised thats the day we go to DLRP :(
Me Likey the New Stitch Pin! Me want it... I'll be waiting for your Update on the Specials on the Pin now Lex
I know! Lex is fantastic! I was just on the Disney Store webby and I didnt see the new additions :oops:
Quote from: "Captain Pan"Me Likey the New Stitch Pin! Me want it... I'll be waiting for your Update on the Specials on the Pin now Lex
Thanks for the vote of confidence :)
There's no specials information on them just yet, but if I had to guess, I'd say the Maleficent/Dragon one is a spinner. Not sure if there's anything more than pin-on-pin on the Stitch one, though the gun could be rubbery stuff, like Sorceror Mickey's hat on the online exclusive one.
Quote from: "Clarebelle"Lex is fantastic!
Not fantastic, just obsessed ;)
QuoteSince these pins are exclusive to the Disney Stores in Europe
Europe? I thought it was just the UK? :oops:
:o I'm just going off what PinPics says.
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=4717 (http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=4717)
Apparently there's a Disney Store in France that's selling these pins as well.
:shock: OMG, that Maleficent pin is epic! It definatly looks like a spinner, as does the Stitch one. :) You can see the green things all around the pin, which would suggest that it might be a circular spinner. :lol: God, these Limited Edition Disney Store pins are gonna make me poor.
cool!
It also says, to quote from this page (//http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=4717&pin=68560) (for example)
QuoteThis pin will be released at Disney Store Europe locations in the United Kingdom.
So I'm not sure if it's UK or all of Europe.
:lol: As long as I get the ones I want, I don't care where they're sold.
:o Want do people think about today's releases? I really like the Mickey one, but I'll have to see it in person to decide if I should buy it or not.
I cant wait to get them tomorrow :D
I'm also hoping to get some core pins too, Marie, Bolt and the sitting tink. fingers crossed that they have them [-o<
edit: what does everyone else think to the Disney Store Online bringing back the Christmas Mickey and Minnie pins?
I don't really like the Christmas Mickey/Minnie pins, so I'm not that bothered. :) I guess they're just trying to shift old stock.
Quote from: "Masamune":o Want do people think about today's releases? I really like the Mickey one, but I'll have to see it in person to decide if I should buy it or not.
The Mickey one is actually quite nice. The colouring is that right shade of pastel to make it different, but still awesome. Not so interested in the Cinderella one, though that's more because I'm male :P
I managed to only buy 2 pins today, the new Mickey one and the trial Pooh one (//http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=62834&sid=6907.1235838934). Looks like the Covent Garden store has started selling the ones from the old trials again, since I spotted Buzz, Lightning, the Princesses and the HSM2 logo there on today's trip, as well as the Pooh one.
:( I was gutted that I missed the Alice pin from the old trial ones. I remember I hadn't visited the Disney Store in ages, then when I went in they had all the trial pins (except the Alice one). I later saw it on PinPics and was really sad at having missed it.
:) I managed to track down the St Patrick's Day Stitch pin at another Disney Store. :P I never bought it originally, but then when it sold out in my local Disney Store I regretted having not bought it, so I'm glad I was able to find it elsewhere.
:o Now that the Alice/Cheshire pin and the Sleeping Beauty pin have been released on the website, there's now pictures of what's coming out a month from now! There's a Mickey/Pluto pin, and the next one in the Romance series is The Little Mermaid. There's also going to be two new online exclusives. One's of Pinocchio, and the other I can't quite make out. It kinda looks like it may be Mickey on a boat, but I'm not sure.
:) There's also some new Core pins on the way. I'm definatly getting the Aurora one!
http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.u ... range.aspx (http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/pins_range.aspx)
Well there goes about £100 of my student loan on the day it comes in the bank account...
As you said, I dare say that online Pin that isn't perfectly clear, is indeed Mickey in a boat... but it looks like the boats sinking... :|
I bought the Bolt and Wall.e pin in the disneystore Yday! :D
I wanted the Bolt plush but they were out of stock and only getting them in Today ( i live about an hour away)...just my luck lol! :P
I take one evening off to watch Comic Relief and you get the scoop on me! Bah! :P
Still nothing about the ones being released in 2 weeks on the official pin trading site, though.
Quote from: "Captain Pan"As you said, I dare say that online Pin that isn't perfectly clear, is indeed Mickey in a boat... but it looks like the boats sinking... :|
:lol: That's what I thought too, but I think we're probably mistaken.
:D I bought the Alice/Cheshire pin today, and it's simply brilliant! :P I can't stop swinging Cheshire from side to side, it's so cute! This is going to be my fave Disney Store UK pin for a very long time. I think the only thing that could possibly beat it is another Cheshire Cat pin, or a Gaston pin. :D/[/color]
Do my eyes deceive me or is that a Grumpy core pin on the way?
:P It sure looks like it.
Just got back from Norwich with my latest perchases :D will upload pictures after a nice swim :D
Also bought the Disney Store Exclusive Lanyard :D/ very happy with it, going to get another when im in London, they are much better to keep Disney park passes in as the actually fit!!!! :shock:
While I was there we managed to overhear that the staff will be getting Lanyards, and get given 20-30 pins to trade, didnt catch where they will be coming from tho :( and the girl serving didnt seem to know when it would be happening :cry: does anyone else know anymore?
:shock: They've started selling lanyards? I totally didn't see any when I went in on Saturday. Were they on the shop floor somewhere, or behind the counter? :) Are they nice?
I can't wait for them to start proper pin trading. :lol: I actually keep three trading pins in my bag that I take to work with me, so if pin trading starts unexpectedly, I'll be ready!
My collection so far

I just love the collection you have there Clarebelle.. :D
Just think we can all expand our collections now, all through the Disney Store.. At last, Pins we can buy in store when we want to, instead of our collections stopping when we return from DLRP. :wink: Well other than on-line or Ebay purchases, but it's not really the same experience is it .. :mrgreen:
Thanks for sharing.. :wink: :D
These three are my first purchases from our local Disney Store.. :D/ :D/ :D/
Here's the first one which is an Open Edition - Pin on Pin, called 'Fab 5' [OE - POP £5]
(//http://images42.fotki.com/v1466/photos/1/1220156/5417448/DisneyRabble02-vi.jpg)
This one, 'Wall-E' [Standard £3]
(//http://images47.fotki.com/v1455/photos/1/1220156/5417448/WallE-vi.jpg)
This one, 'Bolt' [Standard £3]
(//http://images45.fotki.com/v1450/photos/1/1220156/5417448/Bolt-vi.jpg)
One other big thing I've noticed are the prices, they are a lot cheaper over here>>
[Standard] £3
[Open Edition - Pin on Pin/SF] £5
[Limited Editions] £5 to £7
[Booster Sets] N/A
Where as DLRP>>
[Standard] €6
[Open Edition - Pin on Pin/SF] €8.90
[Limited Edition] €10.50 upwards
[Booster Sets] €15.00 - €19.90
Compared to DLRP, the prices are very reasonable. America still has the cheapest pins though.
Thanks for sharing your pictures!!!!
My collection is growing slowly :lol: but is increasing every so often!
My sister went to London with her school today and covent garden was a destination
and she got a chance to pop into the lovely Disney Store there :D/ :D/
She picked up for me:
Mickey Band Leader (LE pin)
Bolt (OE pin)
and the Disney Store Exclusive lanyard
:D/
When I saw the picture of the lanyard above (Clare) I thought the insert was one of those cardboard things but its actually plastic and what is the 'VIP guest' thing about lol
But for any DLRP pin traders I think its worth the £3 and if you use your lanyard to hold your ticket the pouch is ideal for you! It seals up which is useful on the rainy days and it is slightly longer as well (I think :lol:)

Yeah..It's amazing how your pins just start and grow over time without even realising it.. :wink: I noticed the lanyards too at £3.00, red I think they were, well the ones I saw where as I got the last set of pins. I tend to use my black Disneyland Resort Paris Lanyard when I'm at DLRP, it has a clip off part at the bottom with one Donald Pin, as I don't really use it for pins, it's more for my 'Javey74' ID card which has my avatar logo on it and advertises this Forum, it's also dual sided and laminate sealed, just as you say to keep the rain out.. :lol: :mrgreen:
I think it's about $6-8 for core pins and about $10-12 for Limited Edition pins. Obviously it's the current exchange rate that determines if they're good value or not. When I went last year, the exchange rate was really good, so I ended up buying loads of pins.
:) The new pins are up on the website. I'll be heading into town tomorrow to pick up the Maleficent spinner and the Aurora pin. I may get the Stitch spinner too. The Maleficent one looks incredible on the website. :D And apparently it's 1 of 5 pins in a series of Villain pins! A month from now they're releasing the 2nd one in that series; an Evil Queen/Old Hag spinner. What 3 other Villains do you think will be in the series? I reckon a Jafar pin, with either his Genie form or his snake form. Also, an Ursula/Vanessa pin.
:-k Next week they're releasing a new Celebration pin that I can't quite figure out what it's supposed to be celebrating. It appears to be Pooh and Piglet looking up at a tree. Maybe it could be for Earth Day on the 22nd of April?
For completeness, the image of the new new pins range:

May just have to collect this villain spinner set :mrgreen:
Darn it I'll just have to get the Enitre WTP range... Dare Say Wendybird will want her own versions of them too.
And finding out that I WILL be placed in Key Stage 1/Foundation Phase for my first teaching practice come May... I must get them. Why does my student loan come through at the end of April?
Quote from: "Agent Lex"May just have to collect this villain spinner set :mrgreen:
:P I'm definatly going to be getting it. The frames on the Maleficent and Evil Queen pins are so pretty! I'll be heading off into town soon to pick up the Maleficent one.
:shock: I'll be at DLRP on the Saturday when the Evil Queen one is released, so I'll have to go into town on Sunday.
:P I ended up buying the Maleficent one, the Stitch spinner and the Aurora one. The Aurora one is amazing. :o It's like twice the size of the Cinderella one in the same series. The Maleficent pin is smaller than I thought it would be, but it's still awesome. :) And the Stitch one is very cute. The frogs in the background spin, and his gun is Free-D.
Lol, £19 on 3 pins.
Picked up 2 Maleficent ones today, and a core one I hadn't seen before. I'm pretty sure it's London-exclusive, as it just says "LONDON" with Mickey standing next to it. In fact, it's this one (//http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=53641&sid=4238.1238259924).
I got that one yesterday too, and a Disney's Lion King one from he west end show, along with the last Mickey Band leader and Buzz one in Covent Garden :D
That Covent Garden store is MY hangout! :evil:
:P
:shock: That London one is 2 years old. Maybe they're trying to get rid of old stock?
Two more Pin purchases.. :D
Hula Stitch - Standard £3

Tinkerbell - Standard £3

Quote from: "Masamune" :shock: That London one is 2 years old. Maybe they're trying to get rid of old stock?
Maybe. It was with a lot of other London-branded merchandise, so I think they're just promoting the London brand again.
That said, it does have an old "Disney Store Exclusive" logo on the back, so it's definitely old stock.

Wonder if Caerdydd has a distinct pin... hmm... Knew they had the branded merch as I got WTP in hoodies with Ddraig (Dragon) on with Cardiff splattered underneath.
Has anyone heard any news recently about when Pin Trading will start?
Arghhh that Evil Queen pin looks AMAZING! I have a Snow White one already from DLRP so I think I need the Evil Queen just to carry on the collection! ;) Oh how I wish I had a job! :(
:) The Evil Queen pin isn't released for over 3 weeks, so you have time to save up.
I'll be getting Easter money soon ;) hehe! But I know if I start collecting I'll get unbelievably addicted, I used to collect pins as a child (not Disney ones specifically, but everywhere I went of any note I used to buy a pin!) and I could see myself falling back into it quite easily...
I think I want the Little Mermaid Romance Series one too... :lol:
:P Think of what the bigger regret would be; buying a few really nice pins here and there, or not buying them at all. I didn't buy the St Patrick's Day Stitch pin to begin with, but then when it sold out at my local Disney Store I really regretted it, so I ended up going to another Disney Store to get it. Now I buy each new pin I want on the day of its release.
I gave in :lol: Bought the Maleficent spinner and the kneeling Tink pins in the Manchester Disney Store this afternoon! The Maleficent one is so cool, I can't stop spinning it :D I found one of the friendliest cast members I've ever encountered in a Disney Store too, she chatted with me for ages about the pins, cos I was taking ages to pick a core one lol! She was pushing for Hula Stitch but I couldn't be swayed from Tink :wink: My poor boyfriend was completely bewildered by it all though, he ended up going into a different shop when I changed my mind about the core pin for about the 5th time!
I sense the top of a slippery slippery slope here....!
:) Yeah, the Manchester staff members are really nice. I got chatting to one of them the other day about the Pin Trading Night at DLRP that I'll be going to in April. :P She was really interested. :D And hey, if you're gonna start collecting, you may as well start with the awesome villain set.
I'm most likely gonna head into town tomorrow to have a look at the Earth Day pin that's being released tomorrow.
Quote from: "Masamune"I'm most likely gonna head into town tomorrow to have a look at the Earth Day pin that's being released tomorrow
So that's what that celebration pin is! I had wondered, since the text isn't exactly clear on the picture.
From the website, it looks like it's the same design as on the t-shirt, i.e. this one (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/details/36069/Winnie-the-Pooh-Adult-Green-Earth-Day-T-Shirt.aspx)... I like the design and may have to buy the pin lol! :lol:
I am off to New York at the end of the month so I am refraining from spending any money between now and the end of the month, so no new pins for now!!
Although I am tempted to buy a few core pins for when I visit the 'Wonderful World of Disney Store' in NY city
Quote from: "Agent Lex"So that's what that celebration pin is! I had wondered, since the text isn't exactly clear on the picture.
:P There's a new range of Pooh/Piglet stuff celebrating Earth Day. Pretty much all the stuff in that range has the same design as the pin. It's pretty nice, and my birthday is on Earth Day (22nd of April), so I figure I'm going to have to buy something in that range. :) It may as well be the pin.
Edit: The pin just got released on the website. ^^ It's really cute. It doesn't say whether or not it's Limited Edition though. It's £5, so I think I'll be getting it either way.
Yeah, no information on the pin at all. I'm guessing it's limited edition, since it's a Celebration Edition. And if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say LE of 1000, like most of the other Disney Store LEs.
Seems that it's only £5 because it's pretty plain though. Probably won't get this one, while I save up for 2 copies of the Evil Queen one!
It's actually a Limited Edition of 800. :) It's a nice size, and actually looks better in reality than it does on the website. I bought one, but I'm still unsure whether I'll keep it or take it to DLRP with me to try and trade it at the Pin Trading Night.
I saw one today as well on my travels (actually went to the Westfield mall to pick up a new bag, but of course I had to pop into the Disney store!). It does look quite nice in reality, but I still think I'll skip this one.
I went in Cardiffs Disney store today and there collection was good. The lanyard was for sale here too :)
:) What has been everyone's top 3 Disney Store UK pins so far?
Mine are;
1. Alice and Cheshire pin
2. Lady and the Tramp pin
3. Maleficent pin
Hey everyone
i was in work on sat bought the malaficent spinnner and sleeping beauty core- love them.
also i have some good news about pin trading...
we have got all the pins and lanyards in for pin trading- it will begin when the leaflets come in for it
and there are some class pins!!!
there are "cast lanyard pins" which are limited edition - there are 2 designs at minute
1st are mickey mouse pins dressed in cast costumes- there is our new red costume, the old blue one,and the old cardigan uniform. ( i soo want one of these)
2nd set are square badges based on our gift box pictures- there is mickey ,donald,stitch and couple of others.
these first set of pins are even more unique as all future "cast lanyard pins" are going to have hidden mickeys but this first set will not.
there are also lots of cool normal pins- including limited editions.
we plan to start pin trading in belfast on sat.
Hope this info helps! :lol:
ps sorry i didnt get any pics- didnt have my camera on me!
:shock: OMG exciting! :( I knew I should've popped in the Disney Store after work today. :P Lucky for me, I just bought like 8 pins off eBay just for trading. :lol: They're meant for DLRP, but I may just have to trade for some Disney Store pins before I go.

well Norwich said they started trading on Sunday last week, traded a few that day and we were the first since then! :D/
All the staff in the shop got very excited and offered their second lanyard that wasnt on display, they were happy to trade for anything! and offered lots of friendly advise :D they all oooo'ed and rrrrrrr'd at our pin collection (we took in our pin trading DLRP bag and our growing collection), they even called the mangager back from his break to take a look lol I felt very sad :oops: hehe
As for the rules they seem to be pretty much the same as in DLRP, only metal pins with (c) Disney can be traded, 2 per person per day etc etc .... they appear only to have OE pins to trade, no LE :( hopefully they will follow.
We are currently trading for two series, the hidden mickeys series ... (Maleficent is number 3 of 5 in the series)
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/DSCF9038-2.jpg)
and the cast lanyard series... (the others they had were Donald and Goofy)
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/DSCF9038-1-1.jpg)
Awesome! Hope the people at the Covent Garden store are trading tomorrow, might take a trip down there (bit busy on Saturday).
The Stitch one is SO cute, I want the Grumpy one too! ;) Though I think the only LE one I'll be after this month is the Evil Queen/Old Hag spinner... But we shall see! :lol:
I like the Stitch one too :) I think I might go after the house series, as well as the villains series, we'll see just how much it costs me :P
:lol: My purse will be happy to know that I don't want any of the new releases. And out of the future releases, I'm only wanting the Evil Queen pin. :P Yay, I'll actually get to save some money!
:D I definatly want that Stitch Cast Lanyard pin. The lady I spoke to at the Manchester Disney Store yesterday said that their lanyards have pins from the American parks, DLRP and their own Disney Store UK series. The other UK Cast Lanyard series is Mickey Mouse dressed in the 3 different Disney Store uniforms that have been worn over time.
I really hope they start trading tomorrow like she said.
I went on the prowl for some trading today, and I got some done!
After a lack of success at my usual store (Covent Garden) I went on a small tour of the London stores. At the Westfield centre store, the staff all seemed very enthusiastic about the pins, which I had on proud display on my new bag. They said they'd just got their pins in today, and were excited to be trading :)
I got the Stitch cast member one above, and also this one
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi? ... 9377828.v3 (http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=53273&sid=9057.1239377828.v3)
It's open edition, but it's from the US parks so I'm happy. I haven't traded away any of my spare LE pins yet, though...
:P I'm trying not to get my hopes up about tomorrow, just incase it turns out that Manchester still hasn't started trading. Hopefully they will have though. :D I'm going to bring all the pins I'm willing to trade, just incase I'm spoilt for choice.
:D Today I traded for the Stitch Cast Lanyard pin and this adorable Easter Stitch pin that is actually Limited Edition of 1200! It's from a $40 set in America, so I'm very happy with it.
(//http://www.pinpics.com/img/p1200/pin60047)
Also, if you check out the "What's New" section on PinPics, you'll see that I've added the pics of 3 of the gift box pins. :P I got the Stitch one and my mum got the Mickey and Donald ones. I really wanted to list them on PinPics, but someone beat me to it!
Did you have to trade a LE pin to get it? its adorable, I'm already looking on ebay
:o No I didn't. I didn't even know it was Limited until I looked at the back. I just traded for it because I loved it! I traded a DLRP It's a Small World pin, and an old Disney Store UK Chronicles of Narnia pin.
The girl I traded with seemed more worried than excited about me being her first trade, as I don't think she was 100% sure about what pins were OK to accept. :) I explained a few things to her though, and she was fine. I just wish there would've been someone else to trade with. Another staff member said that the store has just 2 staff lanyards right now, so they would only be having one out at a time and then keep alterating them. :( Seems a shame that no one was wearing the other lanyard.
Wow lucky you! I saw the Minnie Mouse from that series today on a CM lanyard at Nowich, it was very tempting! :wink:
Today I traded for Donald and Goofy from the Cast Member Lanyard series
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/DSCF9033-1.jpg)
Has anyone seen any others in this series?
Also managed to trade for one of the Mickey's in CM uniforms ...
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/DSCF9035-1.jpg)
But instead of trading for the other CM uniform Mickey's we decided to trade for ...
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/DSCF9035-2.jpg)
Blue Fairy Pin, I was really taken in by this pin, I have been looking for a blue fairy one, especially when I saw the inscription on the back "guest performer" so when I got home we checked it out on pinpic and found out that it is from the 45th anniversary parade in DL Anahiem, to get the pin you would have to be chosen to perform in the parade!! how cool would that be lol. so we also checked it out on ebay and at the moment it is selling for $13. Turns out to not have been a bad trade ;) Apparantly the boss traded it in because he didnt know what it was :? I feel a little bad, but we traded fair and square
and on a previous trip we managed to trade for this little cutie
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/DSCF9035-3.jpg)
We saw him on a CM's waistcoat who traded with us in DLRP, so when I saw it on a Disney Store lanyard, I was going to have it ;) turns out its a really old pin and goes for around £20 on ebay :D lucky or what
Also, the shock horror!!!
Our Disney Store didnt get ANY little mermaid pins :shock: :shock: :shock:
:) That's the full set as far as I know Clare. I made a group for all 8 CM pins on PinPics.
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=5005 (http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=5005)
:D That Blue Fairy pin is lovely. I'm a big fan of the Blue Fairy, so I have 3 pins of her. I have the bigger version of your one, one from a Pinocchio booster back, and my fave of the three is one with translucent wings.
:P Today I traded for the Goofy cast lanyard pin, and a pin of Tink pulling a funny face.
:shock: Sucks about your store not getting the new Little Mermaid pins. Did you ask why?
No we were in a bit of a rush (made two tips, hoping to catch different CM's so we could double trade, but that didnt happen :( ) luckily we bought 2 of the little mermaid pins online on Thursday
I guess you like your addtions Clare!
I really like all the Cast Member pins!!
cannot wait until NYC is over so I can visit cambridge!
Has anyone spotted any DLRP (DLP :lol:) pins?
Only the ones we have traded ;) we have nearly filled both lanyards with our own pins lol
Good things about living in London: with 4 stores, I can quadruple-trade.
Bad things about living in London: those 4 stores are pretty popular.
That said, I do have 2 of the cast member series of the large square ones, and I've done some trading for other bits and pieces I like. Even if it's something I'll probably trade on later, it's nice to change up my collection every now and again.
The CMs at the Oxford Street store were all really interested in trading. They said they'd had quite a few traders in today, so their lanyards were always changing. They didn't look like they had any of the UK CM lot left, unfortunately - I reckon the other traders must have spotted them and grabbed them! The CMs at the Westfield store are also enthusiastic, and both stores had both lanyards out. The Westfield store is where I managed to grab my 2 CM ones, so I don't think they're as busy with traders as the Oxford Street store.
The lady trading at the Covent Garden store was actually trading with someone else as I came in! It looked like they had quite a few pins from the US, and traded a couple with the CM, so I managed to grab one of those. Along with buying some more today, my bag's looking very full of pins now. Even after buying a bigger one after the last one was stolen!
(//http://www.pizzatriangles.com/IMG_0146-sml.jpg)
EDIT: Oh yeah, the Dwarfs pin and the Jessica pin actually came from different stores! I reckon either someone else was doing the same thing as me, or they were part of these stores initial sets.

How funny, one of the pins I traded for today is a Blue Fairy pin, too, this one in the snowflake (//http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=58486&sid=8747.1239659712.v3).
:D Congrats on those two star pins, since they're both Limited Edition. :) I have the Jessica one, which I traded for at WDW. :P And I really want that Blue Fairy pin. Come up to Manchester and we'll trade! :lol:
I bought the Grumpy core pin in the Manchester store today :D I was dying to have a look at the CM lanyard to see what pins they had for trading but the girl who was wearing it went off on her break just as I walked into the shop lol! :lol:
Quote from: "Agent Lex"(//http://www.pizzatriangles.com/IMG_0146-sml.jpg)
Great collection there! I'd never put my pins on my bag, I'd be too frightened of them falling off or losing them somehow. Is that a ToT pin on the far right (the one that looks like a hotel key)?? It's amazing! :D
Quote from: "Masamune"Congrats on those two star pins, since they're both Limited Edition.
Thanks :) I realised they were after getting the first one and seeing it stamped on the back. Though I think the dwarfs one might be a fake, according to PinPics :( It's a very convincing fake if it is!
Quote from: "Snow_White_Girl"Great collection there! I'd never put my pins on my bag, I'd be too frightened of them falling off or losing them somehow. Is that a ToT pin on the far right (the one that looks like a hotel key)?? It's amazing! :D
I take them off my bag during the week, I'd definitely lose some in rush hour! So I end up spending about half an hour every Friday evening putting them back on ready to go out and trade, heh.
Yep, the one on the right is a ToT one. Just an open edition one from DLRP, if I recall.
It may just be a scapper. :) Scrappers are made with the exact same mould/materials/etc as the original pins...they're just not supposed to exist, because they're being made without Disney's permission. So, they're unofficial...but official at the same time, if you get what I mean. :P As long as you like the pin, that's all that matters.
Today I did got 4 new pins; 2 I traded for myself, and 2 my mum's BF traded on my behalf when he went to the Trafford Centre with my mum. :o My 4 new ones are the Mickey and Donald square lanyard pins, one of the Mickey uniform pins and the new Stitch core ukelele pin.
I'm very annoyed! :shock:
I was just in the checkout for ordering a bunch of Disney pins from the online store, after step one they notify me that I must be 18 or over to make a purchase with the Disney Store. :( I was getting very excited aswell as my nearest Disney store is miles away!

True. And I'm not sure what the difference between a scrapper and a fake fake is, but the PinPics page (//http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=52617) says that mine is the "gold scrapper" version. And hey, it adds to my star collection, so I guess I'm happy.
Just wish I had more money to buy more pins! :P

Yeah I know how you feel about that!
although I expected it and asked my dad to buy the pins using his credit card (its always better to use credit cards rather than debit cards online as it is safer and you are better protected) and gave him the money for the pins.
maybe you could ask a relative?
I decided to leave it for just now,
I'm selling a few belonings online to gather some money for a possible up coming Disney trip. :D/
I have a few suspected scrappers myself. :o They're all ones I traded for that I really liked, and I didn't even know what a scrapper was until I looked up one of these pins on PinPics and it mentioned the circulation of scrappers. I'd never try and trade any of them, because I like them too much. :P I think if I traded for a pin that I wasn't too fond of, and it turned out to be a scrapper, then I'd be annoyed.
Got my ariel and aurora romance series pins today along with the tinkerbell curtsey pin in the post, just wish i had regular access to a disney store instead of having to shell out £5 for postage every time :(. Love all of these pins though, missed out on the belle pin from the romance series, have to scour ebay for one i guess.
The Beauty and the Beast Romance Pin is still available in the Norwich store ;)
i'm annoyed at myself because they had one in york when i went but i got some other pins instead, silly me lol.
:shock: Look at this beautiful Tink pin I traded for at the Manchester store yesterday!
(//http://www.pinpics.com/img/p1329/pin66476)
:D I'm so happy with it! It's probably my fave Tink pin that I own.
WOW thats a beautiful pin!
That's a gorgeous pin Masamune! :D As I'm now earning again I can actually afford to broaden my collection a bit now ;) Though I'm still eagerly awaiting the Evil Queen spinner! :lol:

I want that Hannah Montana one... It would fit perfectly in with my Teaching practises...
:shock:
Hmm need job... Need a Disney Store closer to Port Talbot than Cardiff... Need to get to cardiff soon
The Hannah Montana ones are actually from a booster set from DLRP that were on promotion for 9€ and we got 20% AP discount on top of that :shock: I didnt think it would work but it did, so they worked out a bargan for trading at 1€80 each. There was also a pack of HSM ones on promotion too that the girl in our Disney store went nuts over and was over the moon to trade with us for Troy :lol:
Not going back to DL(R)P anytime soon... although mum's boss is off to WDW in November... Still need a job and stuff...
I need those 2 sets now...
And its nice to see someone actually with an Earth Day pin... I was starting to think I was alone with no one else mentioning thier purchase of one
After the dissapointment of the online store :( I decided to travel to my Nearest Disney Store and to my suprise there was two in Glasgow City Centre! :shock: :o .
On the main site it only lists one :? . ANYWAY!
I baught a couple of core range pins and a Mickey Mouse as band leader pin, I love the Disney Store even though you come back with more than you went for. I also came home with a Mickey as the sorcerers aprentice plush. A dissapointment though was that not one of the Cast Members from the either of the two stores collected or traded pins. :(

Has anyone used this offer? we tried it on the 9th for the new releases online, but on my invoice it appears only to have taken it off of 2 of the pins :? and we bought 9 :shock: BUT we did get the free plusie!
I had a few things I wanted to purchase online, mostly pins. But just before I entered my details it stated that you must be 18+ to place and order :? .
aw, couldnt you get someone to do it for you?
its funny, i dont think I have ever had to enter my date of birth when ordering :? odd

Nice collection :) I like the Alice character series you got going there. I wish more series would creep their way into stores over here (like more of the gold star ones *hint hint*).
:D I think I struck very lucky with that Tink pin.
@ Clare - Your collection is lovely! :P Like I said in the Merch thread, I've been wanting that Cheshire watch pin for ages. Did you trade for it at your local Disney Store?
@ 15MagicalYears - o.o You should've asked a Cast Member if they had started trading yet. When we went to the Trafford Centre store, they weren't actually wearing the lanyards, even though they had started trading. This is because it's a very busy store, and they didn't want their staff members to get distracted by people trading pins. :) Once we asked about pin trading, they were happy to go get their trading lanyard.
Quote from: "Clarebelle"aw, couldnt you get someone to do it for you?

No, you don't need to enter your date of birth but before you enter your details there is two boxes you must tick.
- I agree to the Disney Store terms + conditions
and
- I am at least 18 years of age.
And I didn't want to go around breaking any rules :(
And about the CM trading, I'll be sure to try that out next time! :)
A few purchases a few hours ago.. :mrgreen:

:) That Aurora one is really beautiful isn't it? I bought that the same day it came out.
Quote from: "Masamune" :) That Aurora one is really beautiful isn't it? I bought that the same day it came out.
Well you know our Jen, once she saw them that was it.. :lol: :mrgreen:
Straight away she asked the Cast Member when Snow White was due out with her castle.. :mrgreen: She said well Belle was due out on 9th May, but Snow White has no release date as yet.
So Jen got the two available for now, and is counting the day's to the 9th.. :mrgreen:
What does Jen think about the size difference between the Aurora pin and the Cinderella pin? In your pics, they definatly look like they're from the same series. In reality though, the Aurora pin is almost twice the size of the Cindy one!

Yeah, you're right.. :wink: Funnily enough when we sat down and looked at them, that was the first thing that Jen asked about, why they were both different sizes. I'm not sure why.. :?
Now this is strange>>
She also has some princess magnets stuck onto her bed and all of them are the same size, all except Cinderella, it's a lot smaller, yet part of the same range.. :?: :?
Also the Cinderella 'Heart Pin', this also is the smallest of the 'Heart Pin' collection.. :?: :?
Sounds like even within her fitted place as a Princess young Cinders remains the one left out... and to think we all believe that after she married the prince she's have no more days of being left in the background and would live a trouble free life... Happily Ever After...
:lol: That's just weird. :P When I go to DLRP I'll be looking to see if there's any Cindy merchandise that's smaller than it should be.
Quote from: "Masamune" :lol: That's just weird. :P When I go to DLRP I'll be looking to see if there's any Cindy merchandise that's smaller than it should be.
Please do Masamune, it's got me wondering now.. :wink: Cheers.. :D
But the Belle one doesnt look as big as the Aurora one either :?
:) We'll have to see what the Belle one's like when it's released.
Today I traded for the £3 Marie pin, the £5 Fab 5 pin and the £7 Stitch with gun pin. :shock: I'm really shocked at that Stitch pin being on a CM lanyard. Why would anyone trade in a pin that costs £7? Since I bought it on the day it was released, I'm gonna try selling this one on eBay for £7 so I can get my money back. :P
I've seen quite a few of the store pins on cast lanyards. I think at the moment they might have been given license to use some of the store's own pins for trading, as they don't have many of their own. But the staff at the Oxford Street store told me today that every so often they'll be given a booster pack of new pins, and apparently their next one comes at some point this week.
Today's trades for me included getting the Goofy giftbox one, and the red shirt "Mickey as cast member" one. First time I'd actually spotted one of those ones. Shame I couldn't find the Donald giftbox one, it's the only one I'm missing now :(
The Donald giftbox pin was the last one of the set that I was able to track down. My mum ended up trading it for me at the Blackpool store, which isn't as busy as our local Disney Store. The Manchester Disney Store has no CM pins anymore, so hopefully they'll recieve their booster pack soon! Like you say, the Manchester lanyards mostly have store bought pins now. I think this can also come from people wanting to trade pins who don't have any with them, so they have to buy one there.
So I made my next visit to the Disney Store today and decided to buy a pin, (they also had a full rack of Beauty and The Beast Romance Collection, I mean a full rack! :o)
Anyway, I grabbed myself the last Bandleader Mickey pin, they weren't getting anymore in so I got it, I'm heading back soon to get the Romance Collection.
Here's Bandleader Mickey : :)
(//http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x199/15MagicalYears/DSCF1277.jpg)
I love that Pin 15MagicalYears.. :D
I keep meaning to buy it everytime I see it in store.. :oops: :)
I know, I loved it when I first saw it. I'm happy I got when I did, that was the last one they'll get. So I'm guessing thats Bandleader Mickey going fast now. :|
:P I traded for a pin that made me think of Javey today.

Oooh, I Like, I Like, I Like... :D/ :D/ :D/
I want one.. :mrgreen: How can I get one quickly... [-o<
:o Try eBay? :P Or quickly book a trip to DLRP for this Thursday and I'll trade it to you. I like it, but I'm quickly running out of pins that I'm willing to trade, so I may end up having to trade it away. For now though, it's right at the back of the list of pins I'd be willing to part with, as I like it a lot. :)

Looks like my only option for now.. :o

:o It's the same one as mine, with the light blue background instead of dark blue.
Thanks 15MagicalYears and Masamune.. :wink: :D
The only problem I have is that I'll have to set up a Paypal account, you see I'd never used Ebay, well not until last week anyway where I made my first purchase, which was a CD, but on this purchase I could pay by cheque, plus it was in the UK. Really quick and efficient I must say for my first purchase.. :wink:
I noticed that both Pins are from the States, and the preferred payment is PayPal, not cheque.. :( So, it looks like I'll have to open one after all.. :)
Thanks for searching on Ebay for me, much appreciated.. :D
You can use your credit or debit card through paypal with no setting up, you just have to enter your details and your done, much less hassle :)

Mmmm, thanks for that bit of advice Clarebelle, I might just have a go at that one.. :wink: :D
I need to get down to the Store soon before the Beauty and the Beast pin dissapears, I have a feeling that if no one buys them they'll be shipped to a store where they are in high demand. :?
Tell them the Norwich store would like them ;) after you have got yours :D
Just a quick question before my next trip, I'm planning on buying about 4 (all limited edition) this weekend. Yet online it says that you can only purchase 2 limited edition per customer per day. :cry: Is this just online or in store too? :?
The wording is confusing, but is basically means you can only buy 2 of each LE pin. You can certainly buy 4 different ones :)
I understand now, Thanks very much.
:P
I phoned up the store this morning and double checked that the Beauty and The Beast pin would still be in store by the weekend and she confirmed that and told me that the Evil Queen pin would be released to the Villian Collection this weekend too (the double-sided, spinning pins).
So all is good, she also mentioned that the store wasn't selling many pins at all :(.
Quote from: "15MagicalYears"So all is good, she also mentioned that the store wasn't selling many pins at all :(.
That's a shame. From the CMs in the larger London stores, I've heard that the pins are selling and trading quite well. I hope more stores are like ours here so they don't cancel pin trading!
I hope not :shock: I'm taking my lanyard up on Saturday to see if any of the CMs have started trading yet. :)
The Gateshead MetroCentre branch wasn't trading last Saturday, still waiting.. :roll:
Are the CMs told to collect/trade or is it optional, because if it's optional I have a feeling that neither of the Glasgow stores will ever trade, :roll:

On the Disney Store site it says :
Our Cast Members have been busy getting a collection together and have now started trading in store with our Guests.
Eep! Evil Queen spinner out online tomorrow!! I'm so excited!! :D/
And a Winnie the Pooh pin that you can't really get a good look at :? ...
But it looks like the 100 acre wood gang on a bridge dropping pooh sticks (that move) :lol:
A little Pin Update :P.
Released online today (in store tommorow) :
Evil Queen spinner pin.
Winnie the Pooh, Poohsticks pin.
Coming Soon - Limited Edition :
Friday the 8th/Saturday the 9th.
Donald Duck + his boat.
Cinderella Romance Collection.

Forgot my pictorial update this evening. How did I forget that!?
(//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/assets/images/pinstrading/limitededition_page2_week6.jpg)
Of course I'm gonna get the Jafar spinner. It's actually my favourite so far of the series! The upcoming Alice online edition looks good, too.
New pins tonight:
Pooh Stick pin (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/details/35971/Winnie-The-Pooh-Poohsticks-Pin.aspx) - £7, LE 1000, the stick is indeed an up/down slider.
Evil Queen pin (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/details/35969/Evil-Queen-Pin.aspx) - £7, LE 1000, spinner as we knew. Number 2 in the series of 5.
Thanks for the photo update :P .
I really want to collect the Villains set also. I think I might have to splash out a bit extra tommorw :oops:
I like the Mr Ray one in the online collection...
Will have to be getting that one... Can't not get a Pixar one now can I?
Hmmm Jafar's really not one of my favourite villains... but as I'm gonna have the other 2 in the set by then I may have to buy him! Who do we reckon the other 2 villains in the series will be? I'm trying to rack my brains to think if there are any more who turn into things... only one I can come up with is Madam Mim from The Sword In The Stone, but she's surely not popular enough to be in the series???
SWG... I got an idea (and it will never happen)
Al from Al's Toy Barn.... in Check Shirt... and as "The ChickenMan"
But it will Never Happen
I think someone said Ursula earlier (as Ursula and as Vanessa). The last one stumps me right now, but I'll rack my brains.
EDIT: Lame idea, Hades and angry, red Hades.
I would have thaught that Jafar would have turned into the Red Genie. Anyway, it makes more sense for him to turn into the snake.
It's a set of 5,
So the last to after Jafar in my mind would be :
Ursula and all I could think of was Lady Tremane and her Daughters but that wouldn't be keeping with the idea of transforming :?
There's also Yzma, which would make a rather amusing end to the series, though I haven't seen many Emperor's New Groove pins on my travels.
Ursula/Vanessa is VERY plausible imo. The last one is baffling me!
Well, I'm back from a long morning in Glasgow City Centre. We got an early train as there was a 12 o'clock kick off and the trains were busy :?.
Anyway, I got the Romance Collection so far, and also I got the last Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast pin :D/.
(//http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x199/15MagicalYears/DSCF1344.jpg)
I also braught home a cute Sulley plush, he was soo soft I couldn't leave without him :oops:.
Anyway here is the Romace Collection in with the rest of my pins :P.
(//http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x199/15MagicalYears/DSCF1347.jpg)
:D/
:) Yeah, it was me who suggest Ursula/Vanessa as one of the Villain spinners. For the last one, I would love a Madame Mim/Purple Dragon one. Other than her, and possibly Yzma/Kitten, I can't think of any other villains that make huge transformations.
There are certain villains that transform in regards to personality. EG, Ratigan can be all suave, calm and collected...and then he can go nuts. :P
Now that I'm back from DLRP, I'll probably pop into town today to pick up the Evil Queen spinner. :D I traded for so many incredible pins, so I'll take pics ASAP. I'll most likely post them in the big Merchandise thread!
I want to start collecting the Villain series too, :?.
As for the Romance collection, does anyone know what the last 2 will be? :P
I've just come across this one, I really love it, it's another one I'd like to have.. :D/ :D/ :D/
(//http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc266/javey74/44511_f260.jpg)
:D I bought the Evil Queen spinner today. :? Once again though, despite the fact that it's part of a series, the pin is bigger than the one that came before it. It's not as big a difference as the Cindy/Aurora Castle pins, but I noticed it as soon as I saw it.
Also today, I traded for not one but TWO LE pins! I traded for this cute Easter Pluto one, and this unusual Master Gracey pin. Although I'm not a massive fan of Phantom Manor, I really enjoyed the Haunted Mansion at WDW, so I was drawn to this pin as soon as I saw it.

:D Thanks for showing me Snow, but I actually ended up getting it off eBay already! I bought a lot of 25 trading pins (all of which were pictured), then I e-mailed the seller to ask if he had any Cheshire pins that he could swap with any of the 25 pins I bought. :) When they arrived, the Cheshire Cat watch pin was included! I was so chuffed. :P
Well i wore the pin trading lanyard for first time on sat and no1 wanted to trade with me all day :cry:
someone come trade in belfast!!!
I guess it's more than a hobby when you find yourself going to the Disney store straight after school :lol:, I'll post pics of the pins I got once they're uploaded :P
Soo, today I got -
Aurora + Castle.
Cindy + Castle.
Mickey.
Fab 5.

I'm not really collecting, I just buy them if I like them but I guess i'm slowly building up my pins I have 32 so I guess thats not bad for someone who doesn't collect :P
:)
Knew there was someone I was missing... Right need to hunt down a squirt now! D'oh...
I really do have the IQ of a Tickle Me Elmo!

hehe!! :lol: I love that Elmo live toy.. I so want one!:P
Bit off topic though, hope you find a Squirt pin though! :)
:shock: :shock: theres a Squirt pin?!?! :( its not on the disneystore website, can you post a picture?
Think it was one of the trial "testers" Clare, thats why its not up there anymore!
I need to find one now! My aim is to hold all Pixar ones released in the UK... Cause lets face it, without a Disney Store closer to Port Talbot than Cardiff I'm going to have very few opportunities to grab pins and trade them...
*humph* need to move somewhere closer to civilization :cry:
Quote from: "Clarebelle" :shock: :shock: theres a Squirt pin?!?! :( its not on the disneystore website, can you post a picture?
yep here's a pic of it..
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/squirtpin.jpg?t=1241201430)
Sorry it's not a clear pic, I took it with the flash off because the shine that came off it was making it even worse with the flash on. :?
:o I traded for that pin today at the Manchester store. I forgot that it was one of the tester pins, I just thought it was very cute. :( The Manchester store lanyard is pretty much all Core pins that you can buy now.
Well I wandered into my local Disney Store yesterday evening and straight away looked for Cast Members, with my eyes immediately averted to their chests.. :mrgreen: Yes it was all above board, I was looking for lanyards with Pins on them. Well, the lanyards were there, but low and behold no pins.. :(
I wandered up to the service counter to take a look at the Pins on the board, it was then I realised that the Donald Pin in front of his boat wasn't there, then I remembered it was released on the 9th of May as with the Belle and Castle. So I got talking to one of the CM's telling them in casual conversation what I'd done, at the same time asking them about the trading, and that I noticed that none of the Cast Members looked as though they were. But to my suprise she said that they were, it's just that they don't wear them all the time. The next thing I knew was that she opened the draw behind the counter and pulled out two lanyards full of pins.. Ahhh haaaaa. So they are trading... :D/ :D/ :D/ It's a good job I asked, otherwise I would have gone away with the wrong impression of trading with this particualr store.. :lol: :mrgreen:
Well Jen hadn't brought any to trade since she didn't have any basically, so Vanessa suggested to just buy some of the core pins off the board she already had. So that was that.. :wink:
Anyway our first official trade in store took place for two particular pins.. :D Now Jen liked this Tinkerbell one, which is one of the £5 ones but traded it for a £3 core pin.. :)
(//http://images49.fotki.com/v1495/photos/1/1220156/5417448/Tinkerbell04-vi.jpg)
Now this next one of Mickey wearing a Cast Member shirt, I'm not sure if the CM was supposed to trade, since it's from the Cast Lanyard Series.. :shock: But she traded it anyway, so here it is.. :mrgreen:
(//http://images44.fotki.com/v1487/photos/1/1220156/5417448/Mickey17-vi.jpg)
If it's on their black lanyard, they're supposed to trade it :) The cast lanyard series simply means it starts on cast member lanyards, but are available for trade. I've got that one, too!

Ahhh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up Agent Lex, though it was on a red one, basically the same as what the general public can buy instore.. :)
hey all,
well as promised I said that I would recommence pin collecting after New York and my family told me they were going to Norwich today
I really wasn't feeling up to going (jetlag :P) so I quickly went onto the website and pointed out the pins I wanted from the store!
so today I got the Evil Queen spinner and the core stitch (with guitar) pin!
I didn't use all my dollars (well I have at least $135 remaining :o ) so I should be able to get some more pins soon :lol:
Welcome back Chris. I hope you had a good time!
Well today we ventured to Norwich again, traded for the penaltimate CM Mickey pin that I needed, so only one left to go now! I've been a bit slow on these ones :roll:
We also decided to make use of our newly arrived Shareholders card that came in the post this week :D and I got another set of the already released romance pins, not sure what we are going to do with them yet though :-k
Hey should be back full time on the forums soon (in a couple of months), this last year has been hell in terms of work! Anyway on to the subject. I have a fair few of the UK store pins now but was in the Manchester store today (not the trafford as is usual for me) and just so you all know apparently (according to a very enthusiastic CM), the UK stores are sending the contents of the lanyards to the US and vice versa in order to refresh the range on their lanyards. We can only hope these don't become re-flooded with UK store ones.
James.
PS: If anyone knows where I can get the Stitch and Donald of the Square Gift Box Cast Lanyard series in the vicinity of manchester eg. Leeds or York I'd be really grateful.
The Norwich store has just been restocked, I'm sure the stores nearer to you will be soon
Quote from: "Barnsey313"PS: If anyone knows where I can get the Stitch and Donald of the Square Gift Box Cast Lanyard series in the vicinity of manchester eg. Leeds or York I'd be really grateful.
Those two seem to be particularly hard to find - I'm glad I got Stitch as soon as I could! Sorry I can't help.
All of the Cast Lanyard pins seem to be impossible to get ahold of now. When I went in the Manchester store yesterday, they said that they had recieved the Cast Lanyard pins again a couple of days ago, but they got traded as soon as they hit the lanyard. :( The last time I went in was Friday, so they must've got the lanyard pins on Saturday.
I had a full set of the giftbox pins to begin with, but I ended up trading the Mickey and Goofy ones at the Pin Trading Night at DLRP. I'm not hugely bothered though, as it's the Stitch and Donald ones that I like best.
I went into the Disney store today in the St. Enox centre in Glasgow and OMG it was crap! they had pins but not big choice at all and didnt notice any layatards!
I must of spent 2 mins in there and went right out again, it was not even a big shop
Unfortunatly the LE sell out fast, and some are Online only
oOoOoOoOo!!!!!
Just ordered the new releases :D and the next releases look soooo cool!
Next release for the romance series is Aladdin, and the next castle pin is Snow White! but why do we need another Tink core pin?? I like Tink but why do we need four tink core pins?!?!?
Does anyone know what the Donald Celebration pin in for?
About teh St. Enochs centre store, yeah it's not the best but the LE pins seem to last longer in there because I don't think alot of people buy pins localy here in Glasgow. But the Buchanan Galleries store trades and thats for certain. Ask a CM about the lanyards and they should show you the CM ones. :D/
whats more shocking the 2 staff they had on didnt have any pins or layatards visable!
Surley they should and that would get people to buy them
Thats weird, Whenever I go to the St Enoch the Pin Frame is always visable to guests. :| I'm going up on Sunday, I'll check it out then
Lex's pictorial update time!
Sorry for the late update, but the first Friday (or in this case, second Friday) of each month they have an event on after work that I enjoy attending. This makes my pin update a bit later :( But anyway, upcoming releases below.
Limited Edition
(//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/assets/images/pinstrading/limitededition_page2_week7.jpg)
The Dalmatians pin looks great though it replaces the scheduled House pin... maybe it is a House series pin!? The Aladdin one, of course, continues the Romance series.
Also upcoming is the Donald celebration pin, which looks awesome. Though as usual, not really sure what they're celebrating, any ideas anyone? The dangle looks like an anchor, so maybe it's ship-related.
EDIT: It looks like Donald is 75 that week! The Wise Little Hen, Donald's first short, was release June 9th, 1934.
Core (Open) Edition
(//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/assets/images/pinstrading/corerange_page2_week7.jpg)
A standard Tink pin, and the Snow White one continues the Princess-and-castle series of core pins.
Today's releases include...
Limited Edition
Donald with Boat (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/details/35986/Donald-with-Boat-Pin.aspx) - House series, Donald is pin-on-pin. LE 1000, £7, the usual.
Cinderella and Prince Charming (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/details/35987/Cinderella-and-Prince-Charming-Pin.aspx) - 4th of 6 in the Romance series, the usual pin-on-pin. LE 1000, £7, the norm.
Core (Open) Edition
Belle and Castle (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/details/35960/Belle-and-Castle-Pin.aspx) - £5, and I just learned that the Princess and castle series is a series of 4, so it turns out Snow White will be the last.
Dalmatian (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/details/35963/101-Dalmation-Pin.aspx) - regular ol' pin, £3. Looks cute, I might get one when I go out tomorrow.
Mickey Mouse Sorceror (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/details/35964/Mickey-Mouse-Sorceror-Pin.aspx) - another regular ol' £3 pin. It's nice to see them release a few of these at once, actually, for those who don't have quite so much money to spend on pins.
Minnie Mouse Polka Dots (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/details/35965/Minnie-Mouse-Polka-Dots-Pin.aspx) - the second solo Minnie pin, this time in her trademark polkadot dress and bow.
Hope you like the updates! Sorry about the lack of pictures for the pins themselves - Disney Store seem to be using a new system for the item pages that means I can't directly access the images. If you really want them, say the word and I'll do my best to get something up here.
ETA: Figured out the Donald celebration. Javey would be proud!
Thanks for the update Lex!
I've decieded not to collect the Villians series so I don't need to get any more pins until June. Which is good as I normaly spend quiet a bit everyweekend. I'll get the Bell + Castle, Cinderella, Donald + Boat and Sorcerer Mickey pins on Sunday and that'll keep me happy for just now :D/
:D I can't wait for that birthday Donald pin. I knew it was for Donald's 75th because I've seen the pins they're releasing in the American parks on the official pin trading website. :shock: I'm just dying to see what the next Villain pin will be.
Quote from: "Masamune"I knew it was for Donald's 75th because I've seen the pins they're releasing in the American parks on the official pin trading website.
You're able to use that site? I just can't seem to get it to show anything upcoming, for a good while now.

If your talking about officialdisneypintrading.com
the site works for me :| I hope you can get access to it soon
Hopefully tomorrow I can get to Cambridge tomorrow to get some more pins [-o<
Huh. It stopped actually updating the upcoming pins a while back, and I never went back there thinking it was dead. Seems to work now.
EDIT: It's still not showing the Disney Store UK pins on upcoming though, so it's still useless to me. Bah!
At least the site works for you, typical they forget about us after a few months?? :lol: I really wish they kept updated on the UK Disney Store pin trading like they do usually for the World of Disney store on 5th street!
Just out of interest anyone been to the cambridge store recently, if so is the staff lanyards empty of cast lanyard pins?
:offtopic: I saw this on the official site, its part of a collection that I wouldn't mind getting
I hope that the Disney store does something similar someday! :lol:
*edit: link would be good http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pint ... n?id=43758 (http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=43758) *
Well, grr. They had a Donald giftbox one at the Oxford Street store today, according to the CMs... it had been traded minutes before I got there!
I hope it was none of you *glares* :P
Well I popped into my local Disney Store today, only to be told by Victoria, my new CM favourite, that none of the new stock had been delivered yet. :( That meant no Donald Pin or the Belle and Castle.. :( :(
But.... Since Jen had just a few Pins to trade, she traded one of them to get me this Donald from the Cast Lanyard Series>>
(//http://images47.fotki.com/v1498/photos/1/1220156/5417448/DonaldDuck07-vi.jpg)
She also traded for this one, which I also love, Jiminy Cricket>>
(//http://images47.fotki.com/v1472/photos/1/1220156/5417448/JiminyCricket-vi.jpg)
And... For getting me the Donald one for me by trading, I bought Jen both of the Limited Edition Evil Queen/Old Hag Pin and Malificent/Dragon Pin.. :D Well she deserved them for getting me an alternative Donald. I'll have to try again next week for the one I was originally after.. :wink:

:shock: I hope Norwich have the new stock in
oh no wait :( I cant go tomorrow, I have an early start doing a car boot :roll:
Hey Javey..
I got this pin today as well in the belfast store! Did my first ever Trade and surprise surprise the girl who served me is a member of this board!!! :D Magic_823
(//http://images47.fotki.com/v1498/photos/1/1220156/5417448/DonaldDuck07-vi.jpg)
I also got the one of this type but with stitch instead of Donald!
i don't get it though I bought the bolt and buzz lighter pin and traded them with her...but i felt like I was robbin her of good pins and giving her cheap ones... like how does that benefit the cast members? :oops: I am confused!

You see...'It's a Small World' .. :lol: :mrgreen:
As for your second comment Aveen, I thought that the last time Jen bought two £3 pins and traded at least one of them for a £5 one.. :? It seems when it comes to Pin Trading that size doesn't matter. Though you probably won't see any LE's on there lanyards or Special Effect ones. But yeah, in general they must lose a little between the £5 trading for the £3 ones.. :)

I think there was one or two limited Editions on her Lanyard but I just go for what I like really. Since the Donald and Stitch ones were so big I offered to replace them with £5 ones or ones she wanted but she said it didn't matter to her at all and that I should just buy the Cheap ones.. I found it odd lol, she was lovely though, very friendly. I did feel like a thief though :P
I know what you mean Aveen.. :mrgreen: I don't think I'd dare attempt to do the same thing at DLRP mind.. 8-[
Quote from: "Javey74"I know what you mean Aveen.. :mrgreen: I don't think I'd dare attempt to do the same thing at DLRP mind.. 8-[
Lol no I don't think they would be too happy :wink: , in fact I think they would just say no lol. Although maybe it's worth a try lol...all they can do is say no :P
Most people though don't really have a clue what pin trading is and I can't blame them. unless your a big fan you wouldn't really know. Magic_823 (Nadine) said that it's not really a big hit in the Belfast store.. I think she was happy to just have someone to do some trading with as she is in charge of it there. I still feel bad for trading her pins that you can buy in the store :oops:
The Belfast store didn't have the new pins in today :evil: I asked her and she said they couldn't find them or something and then she turned around and said " are you Aveen?" I was like :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: ok this is freaky how does she know me...then she said she was on the board lol! 8)
Quote from: "Aveen2008"Most people though don't really have a clue what pin trading is and I can't blame them. unless your a big fan you wouldn't really know.
This is definitely true, I was asking Victoria about this and she said that people were buying, but not great amounts and as for traders, just a few.. :shock:
I mentioned that in London traders have more stores, so if you lived in London you have more choice, but where it backfires is that a lot more trading happens and so Pins are harder to get, whereas here in the North of England it's a lot easier because there a fewer stores located within a tighter land area, aswell as less traders to buy all the pins up. Bearing in mind the LE's alone are given out as only 20 per store on average.. :roll: They'd be gone in London within minutes for the avid collector.. :mrgreen:
So living as a Disney Pin Fanatic in the North of England does have it's merits.. :lol: :mrgreen:

I'm not a great shot with the Camera (need lessons Javey)... hence the two... one of the shape and character colours and one of the Background colour...
Traded a CM for it in Cardiff on Thursday... whilst I purchased 2 Stitch Pins...
Anyone have any Info? I'd like to know a little bit more about it... The only thing I know is that its a 2008 Pin Trading Release... and for some reason (not that I mind) doesn't have the black Mickey head back but a traditional pin badge one...
Looks like everyone except me got the Donald one I'm after! :cry: I did get another Mickey dressed as a CM one today, though.
Pan, what does it say on the back? Does it have the 2008 pin trading logo? I ask because I almost traded with a CM for what was probably an unofficial pin today as well, it didn't have any of the proper logos on the back, just "copyright-logo Disney" on it.
Tommorow (actualy today now) I'm heading up to my now trading store wuth my lanyard to see what I can trade for. :D/
Here's my proof Lex...
(//http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n286/WelshWing/100_0180.jpg)
Anyone have any idea about the pin? ... I've looked on Pin Pics... but got nothing...
Saw it on Ebay... but the picture was locked...
:) Found it on PinPics for you Pan.

Thank You!
Wow an expensive starter pin... I'm shocked!
I think the price stated there is the price of the starter lanyard.
Captain Pan I recognise that pin from my New York trip 8)
I was tempted to buy the starter pack for a friend of mine but settled for something else instead :p
But yeah the set is called 'My first starter pack' and I think it was nice! that price was for the whole starter pack though sorry to say.
The best thing about the World of Disney store on 5th is that they have a large area in the middle of the store with loads of pins from WDW/DLR and the NYC pins which I quite like the idea of :lol:
I am really hoping to get to norwich / cambridge soon but the trouble is that I don't have a car and parents don't seem to be very happy with driving all the way to the nearest Disney store regularly :lol:

Hey guys! I'm just back from an awesome trip to the Disney Store. It was my best yet!
To start off I got the newly released pins.

Sorcerer Mickey
And now this is the exciting part, I haven't saw lanyards atall in this store, so I just asked if they had any yet and they said they've had them for a will now so she braught out that magical black and gold lanyard with all the cast member exclusives. So I traded some old ones I had from Disney World, the castmember I had was lovely and was very chatty. She let me trade 3 since it was both our first time trading. I got the Stitch + Donald box pins and the Mickey as Castmember (red shirt).

After trading we chatted for a while longer, she told me that in 3 months she was moving down to London to work for the Disney Channel and also another guy that works in the store works seasonly at WDW in entertainment! Also, they mentioned that a guy comes in every saturday to buy the new relesases and trade, I'm gonna go down one saturday and see if I can make a trade!
It's official, it really was Everyone But Lex Gets The Donald Pin weekend :P
I've not got Donald either, I'm still looking for him and Mickey in a cardigian from the other series. I'm not giving up hope just yet though!
I agree loads with what everyone said about trading, it's sooo adictive :oops:.
A few questions though if anyone can answer them.
-What do you normaly say if the lanyards aren't on display?
-Are the Castmember exclusives updated frequently?
Quote from: "15MagicalYears"-What do you normaly say if the lanyards aren't on display?
Just ask any cast member about the pin trading lanyards. If they're not out, they'll know and they'll be able to grab one and bring it out for trading.
Quote from: "15MagicalYears"-Are the Castmember exclusives updated frequently?
I honestly don't know how frequent the updates are. I was told by one or two CMs that they tend to refresh the lanyard when it gets full of store pins. Since most guests don't have pins from the parks, they tend to just buy the store ones and trade, so the lanyards quickly get filled with £3 core pins, not exactly a great trade! In the busier stores the refresh can happen nightly.
BUT I don't know how often they get in new CM exclusives, only that they refresh with other park ones they've been given. I have no idea what happens to all those spare store ones either, maybe they get shipped over to the US parks to put on their lanyards.

Not true in the Belfast store I was there today it was quiet and I had come from where i lived (an hours drive) and I asked about trading the cast member behind the counter stated someone would get the Lanyard..next thing another Cast member comes over to tell me that the Lanyard only comes out at certain times, unannounced and you just have to be lucky to catch it because once they have it away they are not allowed to bring it back out!! :cry:
She told me to "pop back in on the offchance the cast lanyard was out".
is this the way it is in the other uk stores??? :cry:

Thats really unexceptable Aveen, you should get in touch with guest relations, or whatever they call themselves (I'll look it up ;) ) ...Guest Relations department 0208 22 23 333 to see if this is true :shock: which I cant believe it would be. My "local" disney store is about 1 hrs drive and if they are going to start doing that, I'm afraid I wont be going anymore and I will start buying all my pins online (which we have started to do, because we can't guarantee that the pins will be in store on release day) which will be a same because we were hoping that they would give us the CTT pin when/if they get one :evil: the Norwich branch have always been more than happy to show us the lanyard, they even rush off to get the second one when they see us 8) lol
Infact I am going to ring them now...
no answer :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: well I suppose its not 9 yet
I will check my literature when I get home from my exam later, can you tell this has annoyed me slightly lol[/color]

Wow! I am very surprised to hear this, it's a lanyard not the pin trading board!
I agree completely with Clarebelle, this is
not something that should have happened and you should phone customer services/guest relations.
Ok
In Belfast's defense the cast members that are currently trading are only learning this week and were given instruction by myself so of course there is some intially confusion.
The lanyard is supposed to come out randomly during the day so as that it the pins are fairly distrubuted.
But saying as other stores are now trading constantly i will ensure that it is out all the time.
Also the the lanyard should only really be worn by "brand Ambassadors" or people who are familiar with the rules. As we have only started trading there are some ppl who are not up to speed with the rules and hence the lanyard cannot been out full time.
I agree that the cast member should probably have traded with you but Aveen if you come in on saturday i wil trade more than the allowed pins with you as a way of an apology. I am sorry that you were treated that way but please let me rectify the situation on Saturday.
Jumping the gun and foning guest relations seems a little extreme Clarebelle
Nadine :D
Sorry but for people who live a 5-10 minute walk, yes it is acceptable to bring out the lanyards for limited periods only
BUT for people like Aveen and myself who have to drive one hour to get to a disney store it is
NOT acceptable and if Disney Store UK decided to take that step they will be alienating alot of their faithful customers. We are not in Disneyland or WDW, if you are offering that service, it should be available at
all times.
I can understand that you are trying to protect your store and staff, but I am not prepared to drive for an hour, wasting petrol and adding up milage on my new car if I am going to get to there and find out that the lanyards are not available for trading, along with the new releases. I'm sure that you will agree that it would be a waste of my time as that is the only reason we are going tonight. Who would you recommend that I contact other than Guest Relations? as if what you are saying is true, I'm guessing you wont be able to tell my between what times the lanyards will be out
I dont mean to be targeting you with this, but I feel you are targeting me as you have completely ignored the fact that Agent Lex wrote...
QuoteI agree completely with Clarebelle, this is not something that should have happened and you should phone customer services/guest relations.
sorry to drag you in Lex, but I am slightly annyoyed by this, and I am afraid I will be contacting Guest Relations as I have other matters to take up with them also. If I can ever get through to them as no one seems to be manning the phones at all today. :evil: [/color]
Hey Clarebelle
Soo sorry if i caused offense :oops: - i was not targeting you there. Please accept my apology. :D
Off course i do not agree with the guest service that Aveen recieved and that was not the way i treated her on the saturday she came in.
But in the store's defense they were acting on my instructions- in the information we had been given before trading commenced we were told to trade at random times of the day. So if the cast member gave bad service it is also my fault. And for that i am mortified.
So that is why i would like to rectify the situation personally and consult both head office and our "pinformation" to ensure that we are trading correctly.
As clearly other stores are trading more frequently than us.
I understand how frustrating it is driving a long distance to your nearest Disney Store and not get what you came there for.
I myself live 2 and 1/2 hours from Belfast so its a long trek for work on the weekends but it is a job i enjoy and i am really excitied about the pin trading.
none of the other cast are really aware of the rules regarding pin trading and i have been working on putting together some information for them so they can trade effectively.
I have already personally apologised to Aveen and offered to rectify the situation outside of guest relations. As my intention is not to have an unhappy guest leave the store. I want to help promote trading and get more cast and guests active in it.
So again sorry if you felt that this was a personally attack on you- it was certainly not meant that way. :D
Thanks
Nadine
QuoteThe lanyard is supposed to come out randomly during the day so as that it the pins are fairly distrubuted
I do personally hope that this has been an unfortunate misunderstanding and its simply a case of confusion of information because trading has only recently started
I hope the Disney Store aren't really trading at random times of day as then it becomes unfair in my view because a lot of people actually have to travel to get to their nearest Disney Store and if Disney want to encourage pin trading, lanyards will need to be on display at all times whilst the store is open.
To be honest if Disney's guidelines are that trading is at random times of day then they are making unfair to the Disney Fans and collectors that have to travel to get the pins.
I personally will be more inclined to buy the pins online as theres no point in paying for a coach journey in the off chance of catching a lanyard!
Anyway that was my opinion!
and I promise that wasn't a go at ANY Disney cast member just my honest opinion :) sorry if it seems it is, i promise it isn't!
Quoteand I promise that wasn't a go at ANY Disney cast member just my honest opinion sorry if it seems it is, i promise it isn't!
I quite agree, and I dont mean to offend anyone, and sorry if it came across that way. I just wanted the matter confirmed by Disney store. I also just want to clarify that my reason for suggesting to phone Guest Relations was not to put in a complaint or to point fingers, it was just to clarify the situation once and for all. (which is what I thought Customer Services was for?)
I am aware this is very new to the UK Disney stores and that the CM's may not be clued up ( I am aware of this because the Norwich store have traded pins with metal backs, which I have then gone on to trade my pins for :? but I dont care I like my pins and I have plenty of the backs, ramble ramble :lol: ) Hey we are all learning! I just dont fancy an hours drive after my boyfriend finishes work (5pm) to Norwich to find out that we cant trade :( because then I
would be lodging a complaint :evil: and pulling out the ol' "as a shareholder I expect better than this" snobby remarks lol[/color]
To say my piece here...
magic_823, thank you for the apology, and I appreciate that trading is new to your store and CMs. I also understand that it's supposed to be those who know the rules that trade, it only makes sense! And I think so long as we all appreciate that this was a misunderstanding, we can all get along again.
I'm also glad that you have personally and privately contacted Aveen here and offered a solution. Even outside of work hours you're offering this, so everyone let's not forget the lengths some CMs go to when mistakes have been made, to make up for them. As you are trying to sort this out, I take back my earlier comments about phoning guest relations and offer my apologies for jumping to that opinion. I guess I'm slightly more experienced with pin trading in the London stores, since they've been trading for a few weeks now and have gotten the hang of it.
Important thing here: things have been sorted, lessons have been learned by Disney Store Belfast, and we can all trade again happily.
By the way, on the subject of the lanyard being out at random times: in my experience only, the lanyards have been pretty much always out, though sometimes the person wearing the lanyard is working at the till. I have learned that they're not supposed to trade at the till, for obvious reasons, so I've learned to browse around until the crowd has died down and they're back on shop floor :)
Ok , Attention to anyone who responded to my comments about what happened yesterday.
I did not mean to cause` an uproar so to speak, I have been a disney fan for a long time and the Belfast disney store is my favourite shop and nadine was certainly lovely to me when I met her on Saturday :D and the rest of the cast members were friendly too. None of them where out of order in their way of speaking or dealing with me... i dont want anyone to think they were rude.
what I was upset about was the rules and I was under the impression perhaps the Belfast store were working under different rules to the uk ones, which unfortunately they seem to be...im sorry to Nadine (magic_823) as I didn't think these rules would have been made by any of the cast members in the shop but the management of the store and it was them I was feeling mad with really. :oops:
I have not and will not be ringing guest relations.. I never intended to get any of the disney stores into trouble but wanted to ensure fair trade for all really. :D
Since I couldn't trade I decided to make myself feel better by buying loads of ones I didn't have... heres a pic
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/pinsebay.jpg?t=1242334157)
I also got a tinkerbell soft doll and little cars van for £2.50...in total I spent...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/reeceipt.jpg?t=1242334558)
£96.00!!! :shock: :D/ :-"
Aveen
Quote from: Aveen2008£96.00!!!
erm wow!! addicted? :lol:
I will agree and I do honestly say this I have never met a Disney Store cast member who has been rude! I notice they always smile and try there best to help
which I like
Quotei dont want anyone to think they were rude.
I didn't get that impression (and I said this above) that it isn't the fault of anyone on the shop floor and most likely a case of pin trading is new therefore mis-communication :)
I think it would be useful to know what the situation is with pin trading in the UK i.e. what rules does UK pin trading follow and any other useful info on the "regulations"
perhaps if someone that works at a Disney Store has time they could fill us in :) that would be nice :D/
when do new core pins come out? is it every 3/4 month or something? thanks!
Quote from: "Aveen2008"£96.00!!! :shock: :D/ :-"
Very, very impressive!
I'm not a huge pin fan, but some of the Disney UK range look gorgeous.
Quote from: "casschr05"when do new core pins come out? is it every 3/4 month or something? thanks!
A few new core pins come out every 4 weeks, I think. The latest ones came out just this weekend.
That's a lotta pins there Aveen! I especially noticed the St Patrick's Day Stitch and Lady and the Tramp Valentines pins there - they still had those? That's quite a find, congrats! I like both those, shame I got the Muppets Valentines one instead (though I like that too!).

Yeah the cast member let me look through the old ones they had which was great.:)
If theres a such thing as a pin trading flu i think i caught it because I have also spent £100 on pins on ebay over the past week..heres a few that have arrived already.. I am sceptical wwhether the Sally pin is real because it only days disney and made in china on the back..

...I want that Cheshire pin. Badly. *Paws at the monitor* :( It's not working!
I spent £55 on eBay for a bunch of trading pins recently. They worked out at £2.11 each, which isn't too bad. :o My mum bought the set that that Scrooge pin of yours is from, so I traded for the Scrooge one and the Horace one because they're both very cool.
:) Right now I'm waiting on a new Cheshire pin and an amazing Gaston pin that I can't wait to show you guys. ;)

I'll private message it to you incase you dont see this:)
Hey everyone soo sorry if i caused any discomfort on this whole pin trading topic- not my intention.
Ok so i checked and i think we can have the lanyard out at all times but can only put cast lanyards pins on at random times of the day, on random days. yeah!
need to confirm that.
But at the minute we not all cast are up to speed on the rules so we cant have it out a all times just yet- im working on rectifying this :D
so hopefully by next week everyone will be clued up!
Also Aveen make sure u come in and trade with me!
As for pins- we have loads of old ones as its not really a big thing over here so we still have a good few- as for cast lanyard ones we have loads.
So anyone in Ireland please come and trade .
It would really make my or other cast members day :)
Thanks
Nadine

Aw Nadine don't worry it was me that stired things up unintentionally..but i am glad that the lanyard will be out more once everyone gets used to the rules :D . I will be in to trade with you again soon hopefully.. I don't drive so I have to persude my ones to take me up! [-o<
hopefully see you soon!!:D
At last I arrived at my local Disney Store last night and the new pins were in, actually they had been in all along.. :roll:
Victoria told me one of the CM's had put them in the bottom draw by mistake, she said she was hoping I was going to pop back in on the Sunday, but I didn't.. :mrgreen: Anyway as far as the Donald LE Pin, I was nearly unlucky, all of them had gone except for the one on the Pin Board, so she asked the Manager if I could have that one. It was funny since I had my Donald DLRP joggy top on, she turned round to Victoria and said that I could since I was wearing a large Donald Logo'd top, and I'd been waiting for a little while to get my hands on it.. :lol: :mrgreen: Awwwh, really nice of her.. :D/
Anyway, here it is>>
(//http://images43.fotki.com/v1505/photos/1/1220156/5417448/DonaldDuck08-vi.jpg)
There's another Donald pin I've noticed coming out released on the 5th June.. :D/ :D/ Another must.. :wink: :D
Also came the Belle and Castle>>
(//http://images49.fotki.com/v1465/photos/1/1220156/5417448/CastleBelle-vi.jpg)
Now Jen also managed to trade to get a couple of the current ones, Lucky and the loveable Marie.. :wink: :D

yay i am glad you got it Javey, i got it the other day too, they must have sold out really fast in your disney store!! Good job that we can get them online too. I spotted the donald on sale next month too, looks good hehe!:)
how come you manage to be able to take great pictures of your pins? mine always come out blured!:P eheh!
Thanks Aveen. :D
I'm just really pleased I got it.. :D/
As for the photos, I use the Macro function on my camera, it's on the first setting which gives clear pictures up to 4" away, as the second setting goes to within a centimetre, that would be too close.. :lol: :mrgreen:
I always put the ISO on just 100 with suppressed flash mode. Also just to make sure of no wobble I use a tripod with the camera seat angled looking downwards onto the subject. :D I've had more trouble getting the right backgrounds to be honest, what can look black to the naked eye actually come out grey in close up.. :roll:
I finish the photo off on 'MGI Photosuite 3', for cropping, colouration and to remove any fluff or specks on the pin which I didn't really notice when taking the shot. Since specks of dust or fluff really show up on pins by the time you enlarge them.. :mrgreen:
Other than a few other tweaks here and there not mentioned like glare and scratch removal etc, that's pretty much it. :mrgreen:
Right guess where I went today :P yep the Cambridge Disney Store finally!!!
When I went into the store I headed straight for the tills and purchased 3 pins:
* LE Mickey/Pluto's House
* LE Donald Boat House
* LE Maleficent Spinner
Then I had a browse around the store noticing there was no lanyards out :(
I saw a pin that I really wanted on the board so I walked back over to the tills and Purchased the:
* LE Stitch with Gun (and the frog spinning bit :lol)
and I asked if the cast lanyards were out and the woman serving called someone over and showed me both the lanyards :)
I collect resort/park pins (like attractions etc) I saw a resort vacation pin that I traded for :) I am glad with that trade :)
I spoke to the cast member for a little while and said they trade a bit and every week a man comes in to trade some pins
I noticed a Space Mountain Mission 2 pin from DLRP on there!
My Disney Store collection to date:

wow u really know what your doing!! :D :D
Chris: nice pins!! :D I don't remember that Stitch with a Gun one ever being released :? Is it new or did I miss it? hehe!
Stitch was released about a month ago?
we got a few of him to trade in DLRP ;)
cool Thanks clare, i must have missed seeing that one!! :D I have never traded before in DLP think I may try in September! :D
:) I actually traded for the Stitch with Gun pin. :shock: I was so shocked that a £7 ended up on a cast lanyard.
The lanyards in the Manchester Arndale and Trafford Centre stores are pretty much always out, though the person wearing them is usually on the tills.. There was a CM in the Trafford Centre last week with an amazing Maleficent pin on her lanyard, made me wish I didn't like all the pins I already have so much! ;)

I'm going to the Disney Store tomorrow so I am hoping they will take the cast lanyard out if I ask to trade. [-o<
Did a trade today and got these two pins...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/S1051363.jpg?t=1242851869)
The top one is a cast lanyard pin and the other is just a trading pin. I swapped them for a stitch pin and a mickey pin of my own which i didn't mind loosing.
I also bought these 4 and found the stitch pin that I hadnt seen before..

The staff were brilliant, so lovely to me this time in the Belfast store, I couldn't have asked for any nicer service or cast interaction!! =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> They brought out both Lanyards for me to see so it was great to see what pins I could get! :D :D :D :D I am addicted now!! :oops:
There pins also arrived from my ebay purchases(sorry the photos not great)...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/S1051377.jpg?t=1242852149)
The fox and the hound pin is limited edition of just 250! Because the Donald pin is so like the cast lanyard pin I think I will trade him the next time I am in the DIsney store. I have just put these pins on random backgrouns to make them easier to photograph lol! :P
Early pictorial update today, since I have to sneeeeakily do it at work. Going out this evening. Anyway, let's get started.
Limited Edition
(//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/assets/images/pinstrading/limitededition_page2_week8.jpg)
The villains spinner series looks to continue with... Madame Mim! An unexpected turn, but certainly not an unwelcome one. Yet another one I'll have to get of course. And 'll be spending lots of money that week, as the next House pin also comes out, Minnie and her house.
There's also a celebration pin for The Lion King's 15th birthday, it looks like. Another cool-looking pin... I'll be broke in 4 weeks!
Core (Open) Edition
Nothing new in the Core edition box, as usual.
Today's releases include...
Limited Edition
Jafar/Snake (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/35984/product.aspx) - next in the villain spinner series, of course. LE 1000, £7, nothing unusual but still a great continuatin of the series (third of five)
Peter Pan (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/35985/product.aspx) - an unusual spinner off to the side like that, but again nothing we didn't already think might happen. LE 1000, £7, but you didn't need me to tell you that.
And that's about it this week, I'm afraid. Only a short little update.
Madame Mim!!!!
OMG I nearly inhaled my pizza!!
That is sooo cool! I hoped they would do her, I mean who else could they do except Ursula/eels or "Vanessa"? theres not much choice is there
i love the 2 celebration pins!! Lion King especially yay!! :D
Oh wow, that Lion King pin looks awesome!
I need to save my little pennys before the 5th of June. LOL :-"
Quote from: "Agent Lex"The villains spinner series looks to continue with... Madame Mim!
Well I'll be darned! I never thought they'd include Madam Mim, embarrassingly I have to admit that I forget that The Sword In The Stone even exists sometimes... Well, apart from when I go to DLP and try to pull the sword out of the anvil!! ;)
Quote from: "Agent Lex"There's also a celebration pin for The Lion King's 15th birthday
Oh dear, now I feel very VERY old!! :(

wow me2!! I remember being so excited about the release of the lion king and taping anything off the tv related to it!! :oops: :D wow 15 years is unbelievable in many ways!
Can't wait for the new pin releases on Saturday!! :D :D :D
I wonder how much the Celebration pins will cost?!! :D :D :D/
My guess is £7, that's the maximum they charge for LE pins I believe, other than website-exclusive ones.
Quote from: "Agent Lex"My guess is £7, that's the maximum they charge for LE pins I believe, other than website-exclusive ones.
Yeah although the lady and the tramp celebration pin was £3 and the muppets one was £5 but at least the max is £7, they are pretty dear when you think about it. It's really an adult thing like most children would find £7 a lot of money for a pin which they can't exactly play with or anything. :?
Heck I find £7 a lot of money too at times for them lol :P
If you're buying even a few pins in the Disney store the price can shoot up very fast - as I always find out when I impulsively buy so many lol!
Aveen x
I was charged £5 for the Lady and the Tramp valentines pin at the Bluewater Disney Store :?
Quote from: "Carnival_Princess_"I was charged £5 for the Lady and the Tramp valentines pin at the Bluewater Disney Store :?
oh that's a bit odd, maybe I am wrong then lol!
Hmm, or I got ripped off lol :wink: Never mind though, I still love it either way!
I do recall hearing that the Lady and the Tramp pin was £3, but I also know that all LE pins are £5-£7. Not sure if the price got updated when they brought that in.
The Lady and the Tramp pin was definatly £3 100% I am certain of that
How much are people thinking the Donald Duck Celebration pin will be? I'm hoping for £5 [-o< I'm finding this month a bit tough as work havent been paying me correctly :(
I'm hoping £5 as well because I always love £2 off! :P
That said, the last time a LE pin was actually £5 was the Muppets Valentines pin. The Donald pin also has a dangle (the anchor at the bottom) so I imagine that counts as enough of a feature for them to hike the price up to £7.
I want the lion king one to be £5 but i think I am hoping for too much, in fact I wish they were all £5 or even better £3 ha! :P I can always wish! :wink:

[-o< please be £5 please
I seen this pin on ebay...
(//http://i21.ebayimg.com/04/i/001/27/94/2cb1_2.JPG)
it's the exact same tinkerbell (only this one has a heart background) as the core pin being released in the uk stores this saturday of tinkerbell
Pictorial update time!
Lots of new stuff to cover, and once again I have to do it from work as it's First Friday time, so I'll be home late. As always, we start with the upcoming pins.
(//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/assets/images/pinstrading/limitededition_page2_week9.jpg)
Surprisingly, both the House and Villain series are continuing (and finishing) on 3rd/4th July! As I think we all expected, the Villain is Ursula/Vanessa, and the House is Goofy. I expect to get both, which makes me glad I'll be paid before 4th July :P
(//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/assets/images/pinstrading/corerange_page2_week9.jpg)
Yet another Tink pin, booooriiiing. On a more surprising note, the craptacular-looking movie G-Force gets a pin, and dancing Baloo to go with hula Stitch I guess.
Today's new pins include...
Limited Edition
101 Dalmatians with Television (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/35978/product.aspx) - The surprise here is that it looks like the TV is lenticular, that is one of those pictures that change as you change angle on it. That bumps the price to £7, with a LE of... yep, 1000.
Jasmine and Aladdin (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/35981/product.aspx) - Nothing surprising about this new Romance series pin. Number 5 of 6, don't know what number 6 will be since it won't be released at the start of July! £7, LE 1000, the norm.
Celebration Edition
Donald 75 Years Anniversary (//http://disneystore-shopping.disney.co.uk/35982/product.aspx) - Seeing this makes me want it even more! Definitely getting one tomorrow. As expected the Anchor is a dangler, though I didn't know it would have that text on there. Surprisingly, it's actually £5! LE of 800 as well, in a small surprise.
EDITed to fix an img tag.
Wow really glad to hear the donald pin is only £5 I just hope my local DIsney store gets some of it with such a small Limit edition but I am sure it will. Not surprised by the price of the others though.
A little disappointed by the next set of pins released except for the villians one, I quite like the ursula one. Core pins aren't great except for the baloo one. I haven't heard of 'G-Force' but the pin looks kind of boring and I can't believe there is another Tinkerbell core pin!!! :shock: It wouldn't be as bad if they had different settings or something but they are all simple tinkerbell pins just with her in difference poses :roll: , I actually haven't bought any of them yet although I do plan to buy one or two.
I'm looking forward to the Lion King one, I forgot it wasn't being released today.. :( had got excited about it.
Hope to get the 101 dalmation, Aladdin and Donald ones this weekend! [-o<
Quote from: "Aveen2008"I haven't heard of 'G-Force' but the pin looks kind of boring
Admittedly, the only way I know about G-Force (imdb link (//http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436339/)) is because I saw the trailer in front of Coraline. It looks pretty awful in my opinion.
:shock: Why out of all the wonderful movies did they choose G-Force?
I got the new pin releases today, I am too lazy at the moment to take any photos (sorry),
I got the 101 dalamations one - The tv screen changes pictures when you move it- pretty cool!! :D
The Aladdin Romance pin
2 of the Donald duck celebration pins
The snow white Core pin
The Tinkerbell Core pin
and the winnie the pooh family pin (has tigger, pooh, piglet and eeyore) can be seen on disneystore.co.uk
total £37 amazing how expensive they are really!! :shock:
Didn't do any trading today though for a few reasons..hope to do some trading soon though :D
I went into the Cardiff Disney Store today (hand in a c.v :wink:) and there was a peter pan spinner. Ive never seen it advertised in this topic i dont think !

It was out at the start of may or around the 20th of may perhaps..not sure but I think it was mentioned in here but thanks for letting us know about it! I hope you get a job in the Cardiff store!! :D :D :D
Yeah, I covered it in this post (//http://www.photosmagiques.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=123814#p123814). But thanks for noticing it :)
Didn't get a chance to buy/trade yesterday, so I'll be doing that this afteroon :D
Well I had to nip to the Disney Store yesterday to get him at last, I was suprised to see this LE Celebration Pin has only an 800 release, instead of the more common 1000.. :o :D

and...... Jen's all important to finish her set off.. :)

We also got the LE 101 Dalmatians with the TV feature Pin.. :)

Has anyone else with the new LE pins released in stores yesterday noticed whether or not they have the year stamped on them (in the pin trading logo) as ours dont :(
Well Clarebelle, I've just checked the Donald LE Celebration Pin and it has the year printed on, but the 101 Dalmatians LE doesn't.. :o
interesting :-k
Quote from: "Javey74"Well Clarebelle, I've just checked the Donald LE Celebration Pin and it has the year printed on, but the 101 Dalmatians LE doesn't.. :o
Same with mine, that's odd. I never noticed though. does that affect the officialness or the quality etc of the pins? :?
Does anyone else think the castle with the snow white core pin is a bit...erm..tacky :oops: like really pink or something and a weird looking castle. I did buy it to complete my collection but just wondering??
Javey thanks for posting the pics, nobody can photograph pins better than you!!
I loved the 2 your daughter traded for! :D

No, it'll not affect the authenticity or officialness, they're still stamped and logoed, but there must have been a reason why the year was left of, I'd be suprised if they simply forgot, since a template stamp would have to be designed with everything intact before being pressed.. :mrgreen:
As for the Castle on the Snow White Pin, to be honest my main focus was Snow White rather than the Castle, so I never really noticed, I'll have another look now.. :wink: :o
Oh and thanks for the Pin Photography comments Aveen, I always try and get the best shots I can with them.. :oops: :oops: :D

so any more thoughts on the pinkness of that castle hehe? :lol:
Just checked the rest of my collection, none of the Romance Series have date stamps, the early pins do, Kermit and Miss Piggy Valentines, Paddy's Day Stitch, Earth Day (all the celebration pins) So looks like they are the only ones what have date stamps, LE and Online Editions, Core Pins dont. I thought Disney Pins always had the year stamp?
I'm just about to leave to go into town and get the new releases and maybe trade a few.

Quote from: "Aveen2008"so any more thoughts on the pinkness of that castle hehe? :lol:
Oh thank God someone else noticed!! I was actually really disappointed with the castle, I've been waiting for that particular pin since pins first became available (for obvious reasons!! ;)), but the castle is awful! It's just too....pink! And it looks just a tad tacky. Having said that, I still bought the pin this afternoon lol! :lol:

I'm glad it's not just me thinking it, I think it's tacky because it also clashes with snow white's outfit...as well as the fact that it's just soooo pink. I bought it too though haha!

Baloo Pin - http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pint ... n?id=45172 (http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=45172)
:D Both the Villains pins look AMAZING, especially the Ursula one. I do like the House series, but never bothered to start collecting it. I think the Baloo core pin is great, but the Tink one is just pointless and I have no idea what that guinea pig one even is. :(
Note that all the prices are listed in dollars, but it does mention that the prices are actually in British pounds. :shock: Check out the price of the Lion King pin. I think this has got to be a mistake. There hasn't been a £3 LE pin since the Lady and the Tramp one, which was a reletively small pin with no effect. The Lion King seems to have Timon as a pin-on-pin, so I reckon this one is actually going to be £5.
Just a note about present releases. :) I'm so happy with the Donald birthday pin for £5. It's such a lovely pin! I love the colours and the glitter, and of course the price. It seems like a lot of the £5 LE pins have been nice ones (Bambi/Thumper pin, Stitch St Patrick's Day pin).

If the Lion King pin was £3 I think I would be buying about 5 of them hehe! Would be great but unlikely! :P
The Lion King Pin must be £3 as it is listed as $3.00 and underneath it states
QuotePlease note:
The retail price for this pin is listed in British pounds.
and all the other prices tally, core pins $3.00 LE $7.00[/color]
This is, however, the website that for a while hasn't had Disney Store UK pins on it at all. And the search function isn't great on it, either. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a simple mistake in the data entry.
Has anyone in this topic ever attended a pin trading event??
Was wondering what exactly happens at them!?
Pin Event
* A ticketed event which requires pre-booking. Each one has a unique theme with special events, exclusive pin sales and opportunities to trade pins, plus refreshments often included in the price.
http://www.dlrpmagic.com/guidebook/prac ... trading/#5 (http://www.dlrpmagic.com/guidebook/practical/pintrading/#5)
@ Clare - :) I did mention that it says all prices are in British pounds. I still think that £3 is a mistake.
@ Aveen - I've never attended a Pin Trading Event, but I have attended two Pin Trading Nights at DLRP. Basically people have stalls set up with their pin collections on display. Some people have hundreds of pins to trade, meaning there's thousands of pins in the room, so it can be pretty over-whelming. There's also usually two DLRP pin boards set up. :lol: So yeah, lots of trading to be done.

That sounds like loads of fun and stressful to some extent. I hope that a pin trading night happens on one of the dates I am there in September!!

Well, here are a few more purchases and one trade from last night.. :mrgreen:
Firstly the LE Jafar/Snake Spinner Pin>>

aw thanks for posting the pics Javey! great buys and trades! which store is your local disney store?
loving the Donald one you traded for, its great, I am hopefully going to do some trading tomorrow!
went to the Disney store today.. these are the 2 pins I traded for...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/pin2.jpg?t=1244996081)
I also had a very interesting find, whilst looking at the pins at the till I seen this pin on the board...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/pin.jpg?t=1244996150)
it's 3d as mickey is an add on. I said to the staff member I had never seen it before and could I buy it. They couldn't find any of it so she asked if I would mind getting the one from the board, I said no and asked how much it was, she said it was £7 as it was limited edition- which is it LE 1000...but she gave it for 6 as there was no cardboard back for it which was great. It is a disney store pin and it's dated 2008!! Edit: just found it on pinpics http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi? ... 1244996489 (http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=62840&sid=5055.1244996489)
I also just bought this core Tinkerbell pin...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/pin1.jpg?t=1244996338)
I also bought an extra lanyard and 2 more Limited edition Lady and the Tramp pins, one for my mum and one for future trading.
By looking on pinpics I realised I also have this pin from the same Europeon disney store releases 2008..
(//http://www.pinpics.com/img/p1256/pin62825) limited edition of 500!!
as well as the Squirt pin.

Hi Aveen, my local Disney Store is the Gatehead MetroCentre branch, I've really got to know a couple of the CMs in there, really nice and helpful.. :wink: :D
By the way I love the POTC hat pin with Mickey ears.. :wink: The Mickey in the Cast Member Jacket is really popular now for some reason, and the Disney Rabble Pin is a must.. :mrgreen:

A Rabble Pin is just a pin with Disney Classic Characters featured altogether.. :mrgreen:
I bought the Little Mermaid Romance Series pin today, very dangerous as I will now end up paying over the odds on eBay for the sold-out ones in the series, but ho hum! The CM in the Trafford Centre store said trading is going really well there, she actually had no CM pins left on her lanyard! :shock: She said she thought they'd be getting more soon though :D

As far as I know all the Romance pins are still avilable in my local store in Belfast as there are few people very into it all.. if you wanted to send me the money I could buy them for you at their orignal price
Aveen xxx
yay can't believe the Lion King pin is £3.00!! :o :o :shock: I'll definately be buying more than one!
I really hope my store has it in tomorrow! :D

Also see the Romance Snow white pin is being released in July as is a very cute donald duck pin! :D
@ Aveen - :( Aren't you annoyed at all by the fact that they overcharged you for this pin?
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi? ... 1244996489 (http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=62840&sid=5055.1244996489)
It says that it was only £5, so the fact that they sold it to you for £6 without a card seems very unfair.
:) I went and bought 2 Lion King pins today and the Madam Mim one. The Mim one is awesome, but once again it's sized differently to the other pins in the series. The Mim one is slightly bigger than the Evil Queen and Jafar ones, and the Maleficent one looks even smaller when compared with the Mim one. For some reason the size difference in certain sets really bothers me. For a series to be a series, I think they should all be around the same size.
Ah well. :D The Lion King pin is gorgeous for £3. I bought one to keep and one to possibly sell later on down the line, since I reckon this one will be a hot seller. I'll most likely buy two more to take with me next time I go to DLRP, as I'm running out of LE pins for trading.

Hey no it doesn't bother me that I was overcharged by £1 cus you can't buy the pin anymore anyway and if i was going to get it on ebay I would probably have to pay that or much more! I dont keep my pins on their cards so not having the card doesn't matter to me too much lol :D
I bought 3 of the Lion King pin today, 1 for me 2 for trading in paris next time i go (sep) i may even get one or two more on the next trip..
i also traded pins for the goofy gift box cast member pin and one of the mickey (cast uniform) cast lanyard pins. I now have all of the gift box pins. Also bought 3 core pins i didn't have which was a simple mickey pin, mickey sorcerer pin and the flying tinkerbell pin!:) wasn't too fused on the minnie and house pin as it seemed a little bare looking for £7 and i wasn't too fussed on madame mim.
aww get you with all the pins you will now have, its something I have always wanted to start doing but havent lol plus since the local disney shop to me which nearest is 30mins away was very disappointing it has kind of put me off!
Oooh my bank balance will take a hammering this month, I still don't have the Jafar spinner and I need to get the Madam Mim one now too! Can't pass the Lion King one up for £3 either!! I'll also be after the Snow White Romance pin and the Ursula spinner when they're available!! ;)
I went to the Bluewater store today to get the Lion King and Minnie pin and they told me they were nearly out of the Lion King one!
:( They've sold out of Lion King pins at my local Disney Store. Luckily I got 2 on the day of release.
Oh sugar! :( Is that at the Arndale store or the Trafford Centre? I may have to buy mine online... that's assuming they have some left! :cry:
The Arndale store is my local one. :shock: Apparently they sold out on Sunday afternoon, so it took them just over 24 hours to sell out. Maybe you should ring the Trafford Centre and ask if they have any left before going there. :( It sucks that it's against pin trading rules to get pins reserved for you.
That Lion King pin is too cute :)!!
It's so unfair we don't have Disney Stores here in Germany :cry:

Well I know the Madame Mim Spinner Pin is out now, but if I remember rightly Ursula Spinner Pin is out on the 4th July in Store, as with the G-Force Pin, so I was trying to scoop both up in one visit. Then the Donald with Chip and Dale Pin is due.. :D/
But it looks as though I'll be paying a visit before next Saturday through the sale being on.. :mrgreen:

for some reason they have taken the dates of the releases of the pins off the disney store website.. I wonder why that is.. I hope they put it back on... I hate the whole "surprise" thing I would rather just know, especially when we don't always live near enough to just keep popping in to check lol!
I don't think I'll be getting the G-force pin but I do want the Ursula spinner! :D
Well as previously mentioned I had to pay a visit to my local store.. :mrgreen:
We got the Madame Mim Spinner Pin>>

aw cool :D i have seen the minnie pin on ebay before it looks nice although the rubber put me off to be honest but as long as Jen likes it thats good :D :D
Is there always a cast member wearing the lanyard or do you have to ask for them to take it out for trading? :?:
thankfully i don't want the madam mim pin (saves a few pennies) hehe :wink: :wink:

Is there always a cast member wearing the lanyard or do you have to ask for them to take it out for trading? :?:

lol you must be rich buying all these stuff all the time Aveen
Quote from: "Aveen2008"for some reason they have taken the dates of the releases of the pins off the disney store website.. I wonder why that is.. I hope they put it back on... I hate the whole "surprise" thing I would rather just know, especially when we don't always live near enough to just keep popping in to check lol!
I don't think I'll be getting the G-force pin but I do want the Ursula spinner! :D
Yeah this has really wound me up tbh, my nearest disney store is a 40 min train journey away so i really barely get to go, so i order my pins online mostly if i miss out on the last romance pin i'm gonna be really annoyed lol

Ross- nope i'm deffo not rich hehe!

Quote from: "Aveen2008"Is there always a cast member wearing the lanyard or do you have to ask for them to take it out for trading? :?:
No they don't normally wear them, they keep them in the top draw behind the counter on the back wall. Normally Jen has her lanyard on and just asks to trade, then they get them out. Though if it's Victoria or Paula serving, as soon as they see us, they know and so get them out ready... :lol: :mrgreen:

Well Aveen, I tend to go at least once a fortnight, and there is always a few new trades on their lanyards. :wink:
One thing I noticed is that they also carry an extra supply of trade pins in a box next to the Cast Lanyards, Victoria showed me them once, all I can say is "How Many"!!!!
But yeah on the whole they must get some traders in other than Jen, judging by the changes on it everytime we go.. :D
yay the release dates of the pins is back up... is it just me or have the dates changed though? I thought there was new releases tomorrow?? :?

Kinda annoying though :( oh well we will just have to wait!

I noticed this earlier online.. i got confused though thinking it was the monsters inc pin that was the online one..but looking again I was wrong! I think all 3 pins look brilliant!! esp the Monsters inc one hehe! =D> :D/ :D/ :D/
I traded for this pin today
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/stitch.jpg)
Its a limted edition of 1200. I think I remember someone else posting this pin a while back too. I mainly got it so I can trade it in dlp because I'm not overly keen on th epin itself lol. I traded another pin for one of my own pins back again that i traded a month or so ago.
I wanted the new ursula pin but they said they didnt have it! although the staff are so great and friendly so had a good chat with one of them!

Oh and we got the the new releases today :) liking the new paper backs.
and after talking to the deputy manager in store today, it appears that in stores they have no idea about the changing release dates or the missing pins :shock: they were just told in there weekly report on tues that these pins would be released on sat :?
But she had realised that she hadnt seen us for nearly a month :shock: and thats unheard of lol

Hey was in the Disney store today..bought the following pins
1. Evil queen spinner (a double to trade in paris), The stitch st.paddys day one was so glad they had one left as I had asked a few weeks ago and they said they were out of it but this one was sitting in the box with no backing, I just want it as a double for trading also, and the ursula spinner for me just hehe...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/pins-3.jpg)
2. I was able to look through their pins and was so happy to come across these 3 which were releases in 2008 (the stitch and hsm ones) and then the earth day pin which also had no back on it was sitting in the box.. I was so excited at this find hehe! The HSM one is for trading though as I don't like HSM :P hehe..
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/2008pins.jpg)
...also is it just me or is there a fault on stitchs eye in that pin above?? :? It looks odd lol! :P
I traded for these two pins...but the ariel one doesnt have the trading stamp, just (c) disney and the tigger one just has "based on he story of...etc" with no stamp although he is tiny, I will have try and find them on pin pics! lol I don't mind tho as I gave mum the tigger one and I like the ariel one anyway! hehe
Ariel..

Tigger..

was wondering when you'd be back at the Disney Store Aveeen!
the new find's look great just wish I am into Pin Traiding as much as that!
Well whilst of to see Harry Potter at the Metro Centre last night. I popped into the Disney Store, I wasn't going to go till next Saturday as I await the Donald with Chip and Dale Pin and the new G-Force Pin. But seen as I was there I decided to get the Ursula Spinner Pin from the other week, just incase I went next Saturday expecting to get all three, and it had been took off display.. :wink: :D

Also on receiving it I noticed a different backing card for this Limited Edition, not black but gold and white, with a white suede backing area.. :shock:
(//http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc266/javey74/NewLimitedEditionCards.jpg)
Apparently they are making set cards like this one, for LE collectional Pins.. :o

Javey: I like the paper backs for the LE's hehe! I have to take an extra trip next saturday for those releases lol! Can you take at my last post about the pins I got today, just wondering what you think of the stitch pin and if you think there is an error!
Thanks :D

Sorry I missed those Aveen.. :oops: :oops:
Great buys and trades.. :wink: I think you may have a point about the Stitch Pin, it looks as though the colours had been reversed, looking at the outlines where the colours should be filled. If they were reversed it would work. Also if you look closely the white sparkle in Stitch's left eye is actually black on the right one, again it should be white, but it's black. Very strange indeed.. :shock:

aw cool thanks for posting this.. Iwish the Mary poppins one way there though I want to see how much it is..although I am going to guess £5 :P

I am kind of shocked I thought it would be either £3 or £5 like all the other celebration pins! :x Aw well! I will still be getting it! :P
o-o Mm, I don't like the look of it to be honest. I'll be giving that one a miss. Like you say, there's no way I would've thought that one would be £7.

I know especially as the Donald anniversary one with a hanging piece was only £5 and the 3D lion king one was only £3!! :?
I have majorly messed up with my pins as of late! Missed the Lion King one completely, and still have (somehow!) to find the Jafar and Madam Mim spinners... I'm heading into town on Saturday and can see myself spending about £40 on pins!! :|
Thank god the Mary Poppins pin is only £5!! my bank balance might look slightly healthier after the weekend after all :D
I like the look of the new pins Alladin and another Tink core pin :roll: is it the one we saw before? and wheres baloo???

phew hehe I really like donald, i don't really know why this pin doesn't appeal to me tho :? I would luv if they released a donald and daisy one...aw that would have been a good romance pin hehe...even if thats not prince and princess! :wink:
I now have the Mary Poppins celebration edition (present from my Dad yesterday :D) and the Jafar and Madam Mim spinners! Decided to leave Ursula and Snow White till I get paid next week :)
On a separate note, is there any way you can recommend CMs from the Disney Stores in the same way you can recommend them at City Hall in DLP?? The reason I ask is the girl who served me and my Dad in the Arndale Centre store yesterday was SO lovely. I don't know whether any of the members here who visit that store have encountered her, her name's Sarah... Anyway, usually when I go in and ask to look at the pins they look at me a little funny, but this girl just asked me if I was a pin collector and when I said yes she said she's always on Pinpics finding what she can buy next (lol!)... I was after the Jafar and Madam Mim spinners predominantly so I asked her which spinners they had left and she said they had Madam Mim and Ursula and she thought they had one Jafar left.. Anyway she said she'd check and then went searching through 4 boxes full of pins for about 5 minutes to try and find the Jafar one; she didn't find it in the end but it was so nice that she tried :) I was hoping she'd be there again when I went back today but unfortunately she wasn't :(
:D Sarah is lovely! I was chatting with her today. :P Me and my mum like her so much that when we went to DLRP in April we tracked down a Giselle pin which my mum traded for so we could trade it to Sarah, since that's the character she has on her name badge. We get on really well with the staff in the Manchester store, so we try and get pins of their fave characters so that they can trade them off the lanyards for their own collection.
Today I traded for the new G-Force pin and a nice little framed Belle pin, which I ended up trading to my mum because she wanted it.
I have to say because of pin trading I have been able to speak to some great staff members in my local store in belfast! It's great when they are so helpful! :D
Can't wait to go tomorrow and get the mary poppins and snow white pins!! :D

Totally, it's only because of a member of this forum (Magic238) that I am so into pin trading! She works in the Belfast store on Saturdays and recognised me one time and encouraged me to do my first trade! unfortunately I don't get to see her much as I am often not down on Saturdays but I am now known my certain staff members and can have a wee chat with them which is nice...although they probably think I am very sad indeed :P :oops: :lol:

He-he, when my local got refurbished, I went in and started taking photo's of inside the store, now that got some looks, and comments aswell.. :roll:
What was that word again, oh yes 'Sad'.. :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:
But that day seems quite away in the distance now, especially thinking of the staff I've gotten to know.. :wink: :D
Have you done anymore trading lately?
I will hopefully do some more trading tomorrow :D/

I will hopefully do some more trading tomorrow :D/
Well it's Jen who mainly trades, since she had a few to trade when we first started. I was thinking of buying some of the starter packs next time I go to DLRP to trade in my local, since Jen only has one left to trade now.. :(
Though there was an occasion I just bought some £3.00 Core Pins to trade for a few limited ones I noticed on their lanyard.. :mrgreen:
Otherwise the rest I just buy, saying that I might be tempted to but a few more I've already got just to trade if I see some good ones on their lanyards in the up and coming weeks.. :wink: :D
Hey
I am running out of pins to trade so I have ordered some more on ebay from a seller I have bought from in the past! :D/ I have 2 left for trading tomorrow and if worst comes to worst i do have some on my DLP lanyards that im willing to trade! :D :D :D
Hey guys,
went into my local (an hour away) disney store yesterday (tuesday) to get the snow white romance pin and the mary poppins one but they weren't in....there has been a hold up with their delivery :( :( :( but the staff was lovely to me and one of them took my number and said she would ring when they come in..im guessing its gonna be friday or saturday though cus I think that's the nights the store gets their delivery. Even though I was disappointed I couldn't fault them for the lovely friendly service! :D/
I traded for these two pins...
Grumpy..

Snow white

I love these pins and I know they are official but they dont have the trading logo on them, just disney...are they still tradeable?? :? I don't mind as I am keeping them for my own collection but if I wanted to trade them again in the future could I??
Yayye got the Snow white romance pin and Mary poppins pins today! :D/ :D/
Traded for two as well although they aren't great. Another one or two people are trading at my local store which is great, one girl traded today before me but she just bought the £3 pins and traded them onto the lanyard so nothing exciting really :? although I totally understand why people do that!
Jen would love that Snow White Pin for sure Aveen.. :D
Quote from: "Javey74"Jen would love that Snow White Pin for sure Aveen.. :D
aw bless her she must just love the princesses! :D
Here's the two pins I traded for on thursday...again no trading stamp on them.. I wasn't too fused on them to be honest but there wasnt really any great pins on the lanyards at the moment...they are mainly my pins I have traded in. I like the Happy birthday one cus it's cute but i am a bit tired of Tinkerbell pins :oops: ...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/pinstraded.jpg)
I love the classic one, but I also like the lilac shading on the Tinkerbell one, reminds me of the colour of the walls in Jens room.. :mrgreen:
Quote from: "Javey74"I love the classic one, but I also like the lilac shading on the Tinkerbell one, reminds me of the colour of the walls in Jens room.. :mrgreen:

Princess colours see, you've both got great tastes.. :D
I've just looked at next month's upcoming pins and I'm shocked to find I actually don't want any of them! There's 3 LE's - an Aladdin one, a Hercules one and what looks like A Bug's Life one... There's also a (yet another) core Tinkerbell pin coming out at the end of the month :roll: I have to say I love Tink as much as the next Disney character but there is such a thing as overkill!

It took me a while to figure out what the hercules one actually was! I am not fussed on any of them either to be honest including the core pin but I guess that is money saved! :?
:) I think the Hercules one is great. I'm guessing that that one and the Aladdin one must be in the same series. I really want to buy the Robin Hood pin, but I'm going to wait and see if I can get it on eBay at some point before splashing out on the website.

uh-o I just realised your right they must be the same series...I don't think I am going to like them but I guess it's only fair to the male collectors since the romance series would have appealed to the female collectors more.
It would be nice if they were a series...I still think that the UK LE pins are over priced for what they are I mean look at the Lion King pin it was only £3 so it sold well people are put off by paying that extra £5 if they made the slightlly cheaper I'm sure that they'd have a much wider appeal.

I think that's true, if pins were cheaper in general I think they would sell better but I guess by keeping them dearer it means only true pin traders will buy them. I don't think Disney want them to be on appeal to a wide audience as such, they want them to be a collectors item more than a play thing if you know what I mean. If they were cheaop little kids would be running around with them and I think maybe it would take away from the specialness of the whole Pin trading/collecting scene. This is only my guess or opinion but I do think £8 for a pin is too much (online edition) or even £7 is quite dear.
:)
I love the Monster's inc pin, it's so cute...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/Monstersinc.jpg)
I got it the other day and traded for these 2...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/Disneystoretraded.jpg)
there wasn't many good ones to choose from, someone keeps taking the ones I trade in and putting core pins on it. Although I am glad to have the small world pin :D
Can anyone tell what the new pins are from the very poor photos that the Disney Store provides us with?
is one Cruella? on the bridge maybe?
and is one a Mickey 1935 "The Band Concert" one? it looks really good, and true to the original anaimation, I hope Donald is there too. Hopefully it will be the start of a new series.
I have no idea on the what is obviously a slider pin, is it a plane?
I just took a look at the pins there after I read your message and appart from the Mickey one I really cannot make out what the other 2 are. I was thinking the slider one could possibly be Stitch in a rock or something but it's so hard to tell. I think you are right that one is a bridge with the puppies (101 dalmations) running under it with Cruella's car above it!
Is the logo for pin trading going to be a core pin or is that picture just there? I am guessing it's just a picture since there's no release date.
^ I know what you mean I like to be able to look forward to the release of shiney new pins and can't exactly do that when the photos are so small I'm not exactly sure what the pin is! I mean I'm not going to plan a special trip to the Disney Store to buy these pins on the strenght of those pictures and I doubt many others will either.
:o The next lot of Disney Store pins has been added to the official pin trading website!
A Bugs Life pin - http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pint ... n?id=46907 (http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=46907)
Hercules vs Hydra - http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pint ... n?id=46910 (http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=46910)
Concert pin - http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pint ... n?id=46919 (http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=46919)
101 Dalmatians pin - http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pint ... n?id=46913 (http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=46913)
Mr Toad pin - http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pint ... n?id=46916 (http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=46916)
I'll most likely be getting the Hercules one, but that's about it out of the five. The Dalmatians pin and the Mr Toad pin are both LE of only 200, which is probably why they're so expensive. But still, what a rip-off! The Dalmatians one isn't too bad, but the Mr Toad one is rubbish in my opinion. Online pins don't sell that well as it is (all the online pins ever released are still available), so I don't know why they think that lowering the edition size but increasing the price is going to help.

They really aren't doing themselves any favours releasing a mr.Toad pin :roll: :D ! He's not really a well known character and the pin itself is horrible! The 101 Dalmations one is "ok" but a little boring! The only one I might get is the concert one!
Whoever is designing the disney store uk pins isnt doing a very good job in my opinion. SOme of them have been great but others are very plain and look how many tinkerbell plain core pins have been released! There are so many wonderul disney characters and films, why on earth are they releasing such ugly pins! :(
I think another reason the online pins aren't selling well is because theres a £5 postage charge so for 1 pin the total is £13 or £21 for only 2 pin! :shock: :shock: :shock:
Thanks for posting the links too, I was wondering what on earth that Mr.Toad pin was! :P
:P I think you and I could do a better job Aveen. Whoever designed the Mr Toad pin is totally out of touch. Sure, it's better than yet another Tink pin, but Mr Toad is about as obscure as a Disney character can get! I'm sure there will be a few people out there who appreciate it, but really, they need to stick with something a little more mainstream than Mr Toad.
And yeah, the P&P thing is my main issue. I really want the Robin Hood pin, but there's no way I'm paying £13 for it. I'll probably just wait until there's like 5 pins on there that are worth buying, because then the P&P would only be £1 each!
Yeah postage is my main problem too! :( They obviously don't want to sell them :P
They could at least do an offer of - buy 5 pins and get free postage or something lol! :P
If you and I designed the pins they would be all of the Cheshire cat and stitch...and Alice, I love Alice hehe!
That would be so great, because then I'd happily buy pins off the website! Ah well, maybe they'll get the hint eventually, once they realise that those pins just aren't selling.
:P Hehe, if I was designing pins I'd want to make them of my fave characters that have hardly any pins of them already. There's quite a lot of Cheshire pins already, but not enough of my other fave villains such as Gaston, Scar, Ratigan, Shere Khan, etc.
Hehe so you like the villians then? :wink:
I would love more of Pocahontas, esmeralda, mulan, wendy, boo - I like all the less popular female characters I guess lol!
:P Yup, I love villains.
It would be so awesome if they ran a design a pin contest over here. :lol: I'd send in soooo many entries.
Quote from: "Masamune" :P Yup, I love villains.
It would be so awesome if they ran a design a pin contest over here. :lol: I'd send in soooo many entries.
That would be great! Plus it would show them who people like lol - still can't get over the Mr.Toad one! I wouldn't even have minded that much if it was a decent Mr.Toad pin but you can hardley see him anyway! :P :P
Like I said, I'm sure someone somewhere will be happy. I have a friend who's a massive fan of the Dormouse from Alice in Wonderland, which just goes to show that people can like even the most obscure of characters!
It just seems very strange though that out of all the hundreds (or maybe thousands) of characters they could've chose to make a LE 200 pin of, they chose Mr Toad.

hehe *twinkle twinkle, little bat, how I wonder what your at* hehe came into my head when you mentioned the mouse!
This is the only cheshire cat pin i have I think..

I have 41 Cheshire pins at the moment. :P I don't have that one though! *Do want*
I got it from Ebay hehe, you should check for pins there although i am guessing you do hehe! :D
:lol: I search for Cheshire Cat stuff on eBay every 2-3 days. It's very rare now that I see things that I don't already have on eBay.co.uk, which is a bit weird. There's always tonnes of stuff I don't have on eBay.com, but I try not to look on there very often as it always annoys me if I see something great but then the person doesn't ship to the UK.

lol you know when your on ebay.co.uk and your on a page of stuff say cheshire cat stuff, if you go down the left hand side of the page to 'location' and click worldwide it will show you the stuff thats available from america etc and usually nearly all of it is available for postage! I have boiught a lot of pins from america! Some sellers are expensive for postage but others arent too bad
:D I bought two great Gaston pins recently off an American seller. When buying pins for trading I tend to stick to UK sellers.
How long have you been pin trading now?
Fairly long yes. We got into pin trading at DLRP on my 18th birthday trip. :P I'm 22 now, so I started pin trading over 4 years ago. Including the 18th birthday trip in which I started pin trading, I've been to DLRP 5 times and WDW once, so I've had the chance to trade on all of those trips. Two of the times I went to DLRP I got to go to the PTNs, and the time I went to WDW I got to go to their PTN as well.

Aw wow thats so cool! I only started Pin trading this year when a girl in my local disney store was talking to me about it because she is a member of these boards and recognised me lol! We are the same age, although I'm 23 next month! lol Aw wow I am considering going to WDW next year but I don't really have someone to go with as my mum wouldnt be fit for WDW and my friend who likes Disney has a boyfriend now (yano how it is, 3's a crowd! lol) You are so lucky to have been to WDW ad to get to Pin trade there and go to the PTN! :D
I seen the aladdin LE pin (aladdin and jafar as a snake) in the shop today but I don't like it, I would like it if Aladdin was a bit bugger but hes so tiny you can hardly see him. I traded for the Goofy cast member box one (as a spare to take with me, I also have a spare stitch one that i am taking with me) and also a small world little chinease girl with pink mickey ears lol
xxxx
Trading has been a bit slow at the Manchester store lately. :P The lanyards just have lots of Core pins that you can buy in the store. Lol, the last trade I did was actually an online trade with someone I met on one of these Pin Trading UK FaceBook groups.

:D If you're on FaceBook you should join them!
my local store is the same, full of pins that are eitehr core pins or just really boring ones or they are already mine that i traded! I trade in good ones and then someone comes in buys 2 core pins and takes my good ones :P Altho someone did trade in the small world one and had traded in a small world one a few weeks ago which i traded for too but the lanyards are slowing up at the moment unfortunately lol!
I dont really like facebook, im more of a bebo person but i do have an account, i will be checking out those groups though! :D
I'm not a fan of FaceBook either, but I like those groups. :D Someone has posted a sneaky peek of the next bunch of UK Cast Lanyard pins, so they're definatly worth checking out.

ooo on which facebook? and what page hehe? I am so crap on facebook sorry! :oops:
ooo I found them! kinda cool I think although a small picture or something would have been nice but still they are kinda cool! :D :D :D :D what do you think?
:D I really like them, so I'm going to do my best to get the full set as soon as they're available.
Me2 :D pity you can't trade more than 2 in a day...although I guess you could get your mum or something to trade.. i probably could too hehe!! :D
DO you live near your local store? :D
:P I work just around the corner from it, so I tend to go there every few days before or after work, depending on what shift I'm doing. Do you live close to yours?
Quote from: "Masamune" :P I work just around the corner from it, so I tend to go there every few days before or after work, depending on what shift I'm doing. Do you live close to yours?
aw wow thats lucky! I don't like too close, its about an hours drive from me so i dont get down very often, sometimes once a week or once a fortnight depending on my family as I don't drive.
The girl in the store today the one who was actually serving someone else, kept saying to me, we have the new pins in but they aren't released until saturday but we have them! I felt like I was being teased knowing they had them in the stock room and I couldnt see them hehehe! :P
:shock: A full hour's drive? I'd hardly ever get to go to the Disney Store if that's how far away it was.
:P Are you going to get either of the new releases?
Bah, time for bed I think. Night Aveen!
probably not (get any new releases hehe! :P )
no worries tty soon!
just remember "most everyones mad here" :wink:
I don't know whether to just buy the Hercules pin tomorrow, or just wait and let it be one of the ones I buy online if I finally give in and decide that I actually NEED the Robin Hood pin. :lol:
lol! Are you a hercules fan? I like Megan - another female character who I wish they showed more off and I love the song she sings " I won't say i'm in love".....I love the opening line "if there's a prize for rotten judgement, I think I've already won that" hehe! :D :D :D
I want the Alice and tweedle dum/dee one and robin hood, and I like the pinochio one too and the peter pan flying slider pin! :P
:D Hercules is one of my fave Disney films. And I always loved how the Hydra looks, so as long as this pin looks as good in real life as it does in the picture, I'll get it.
:? OMG, have you seen the newest additions to the Disney Store website? The next Mickey short one looks OK, but that Grape pin is the most rubbish one ever. Apparently it's from the film Up. Seriously, if they charge anymore than £3 for it I'll be horrified. :lol: At least at £3 it'll be worth buying some in order to trade.
:) Also, the Baloo pin is back! Along with Happy.
oooo forgot to look...how stupid of me..........
Love the 2 core pins! :D So glad its not tinkebell, the mickey one looks ok but that grape one is really pathetic! :P hehe I don't even think I would waste £3 on that Grape pin!! hehe!
Have you ever traded in a LE pin for one on the cast lanyards in the park or only core ones?
I bought this pin off an american seller, it came today.. I totally love it..
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi? ... 1252706304 (http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=55049&sid=5306.1252706304)
:P Since it's a LE pin, it'll be worth buying at £3. Wouldn't spend £5 on it though, so fingers crossed for £3! At least then I'll have a few extra LE pins to trade with the DLRP pin board.
I only ever trade LE pins for other LE pins. :o I wouldn't ever trade one of my LE pins for a core pin unless it was a very rare one.

ah I didn't realise it was a limited edition pin! Its still horrible and boring though hehe! :P do you normally take many pins with you for trading?
xxx
:) I try to take as many Core pins as possible. I'll probably buy a bunch off eBay before I go in January, just so I don't fall short. If I don't end up being there for a Pin Trading Night, I only need LE pins for the pin boards, which sometimes aren't even there. So I won't stock up on too many LE pins unless I can get them cheap (like £3).

on average how many do you think you trade with cast members when your there?
Have you ever had a bad experience trading in DLP?
:P In April I traded for 19 core pins. I know this because I took a picture of them all when I got home. 17 were off Cast Members, 2 were off other guests. :D I'm not as shy about asking to see Cast Member lanyards now, so I trade a lot. I would've had more, but I ran out of pins I actually wanted to trade and ended up trading a few away that I would've liked to have kept.
There's only one that comes to mind, and it was on the trip where we got into Pin Trading. A Cast Member had a lanyard on with a bunch of really lovely pins on it. We asked if we could trade, but he just flat out refused. :( He was very rude about it too, and didn't give us a reason why he wouldn't trade. Since we were new to pin trading, we didn't know the rule about cast members HAVING to trade pins, so we just had to do without.
Someone told me they don't have to if it's their own personal collection or something! :? Could that be true?
As far as I know, their personal collection is meant to either go on their uniform, or on a different coloured lanyard. :( This guy was wearing the same lanyard as every other cast member, but he just refused to trade.
Quote from: "Masamune"As far as I know, their personal collection is meant to either go on their uniform, or on a different coloured lanyard. :( This guy was wearing the same lanyard as every other cast member, but he just refused to trade.
Maybe he was just rude then...well actually he was if she just said no in a blunt way and didn't explain! :( I hope I don't come across many like him. I know this may sound stupid but if I have a lanyard of core pins around my neck and I ask to trade I feel almost as if I don't have good pins or something, like I am not giving them a good trade or whatever...have you ever felt like that?? :?
Ooooh I'm so excited about the Happy core pin since I already have Grumpy! :D/ Hope they do the other 5 dwarfs too! And "Thru The Mirror" is one of my favourite Mickey shorts ever, so I think I'll be having that pin too! :D
@ Aveen - No, not really. :P I'd feel like that if I was trading with another guest, but when trading with Cast Members I don't worry about it, since those pins aren't their own personal collection. And besides, just because I trade away a pin that I don't like very much, doesn't mean that someone else won't like it as well. :)
@ Snow - Ooh, is that the one where he dances with the Queen playing card?
thanks for the PM masamune! :D :P
:P No, thank you!
lol! I have posted the pins I have with me for trading in the pin nights topic although I may get more :P :oops:
I have bought from both those sellers that I gave ya the links too by the way and the pins came and were great :D
Quote from: "Masamune"@ Snow - Ooh, is that the one where he dances with the Queen playing card?
It is indeed! I love it!
I'm absolutely gutted, my Mary Poppins celebration edition pin has BROKEN and I have completely no idea how it's happened! :( I noticed it was hanging funny on my pin board before and when I took it off to look at it the pin on the back near the bottom has totally broken off so now the pin won't hang straight! I'm devastated cos it's one of my favourite pins!! :cry:

Hey hun
funny my pin doesnt hang straight either anyway and its not broken but its just heavy to one side or something.
They still have one or two mary poppins pins left in my local disney store if you want me to get you one?
Aveen
:( If you still have your receipt, maybe you can go swap it?
Quote from: "Masamune" :( If you still have your receipt, maybe you can go swap it?
Yeah I keep all my receipts (just so I can see exactly how much money I've got stuck on a corkboard! ;)), I'm not sure the Manchester store has any left though. I'm going to the Trafford Centre tomorrow so I may try there!
Good luck Snow! :) Hopefully you can just get it swapped over with no hassle.
I ordered the only pins yday from the disney store website. It says if you order before 3pm and choose express delivery (£1 dearer) that you get next day delivery. They say they deliver from 8am-8pm! So it'as 7 now and no sign...1 hour left :P
:? That's so cheeky. If you pay extra for faster delivery, that's what you should get.
opps I just realised it's only next day in mainland uk :roll: :roll: :roll:
:( Aww. Well in that case it shouldn't have allowed you to pay the extra if that service wasn't available to you.
At least it was only £1 dearer although with the cost of the pins and postage it is a fortune really lol! Maybe it will come tomorrow anyway! :D
The online pins arrived today, here they are....
Robin hood slider pin..

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

Peter pan slider pin...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/pp1.jpg)
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.....
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/pp2.jpg)
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 :P
I love those Aveen, but I have to agree with you on the darlings.. :lol: :mrgreen:
Why red/orange ink indeed.. :roll:
Scanners eat your heart out.. :mrgreen:
:D OMG, are Robin's clothes Free-D? That's so cool!
Quote from: "Masamune" :D OMG, are Robin's clothes Free-D? That's so cool!
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.
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!
:P 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.
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. :P 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. :D 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. :D 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! :D
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! :D :D :D :D
I decided not to be lazy and add the picture tonight...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/bugslife.jpg)
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! :P
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.
:D 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.
:P I really like the Hercules one. I'll be getting it once I get paid.
Just putting my pins in my pin bag now...
my collection is complete again :D well until the 25th it is anyways.
So here it is,

UK Disney Store Lanyards (ready for trading in DLP :P)
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/112_4432.jpg)
I can't wait for the UP pin :D
You pins looks great clarebelle! =D>
Where did you get the blue uk lanyard? I have never seen one before?? :D It looks great, I wish they would create a few different ones!
it is part of the Starter Set ;)
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/112_4359.jpg)
oo thats lovely i have never seen it before it is new out or was it out ages ago?? :D
Bought it today :D bargan for £9 (with shareholders)
Has anyone else noticed that the red lanyards and pin backs have disappeared off of the website??
oo brilliant! hope they get them in my local store too! It nice to have a change from the red one! :D :D :D :D
:D Ooh, this is a good sign. :P Hopefully after Starter Sets there will be pin bags and books!
Yes fingers crossed! We have been asking in our local Disney Store and they have suggested it to... well I guess their HO? so hopefully if they do start doing them they will get a little bonus or something
It's a shame the starter set only has one pin with it though, as it's nice to have the option of keeping one and trading the other.
no no it does! I just already put that one in my pin bag :oops:
I really like the idea of a starter set and its a nice lanyard as well! I'll have to get one before I hopefully go to Paris next year. I've not booked anything yet, and may not but I've already got a few LE's ready for trading 8)
@ Clare - :D Yay! I might end up buying it then. :P We'll see.
@ Eager - I really like the lanyard as well. I think it's much much nicer than the red one. :)
I think the lanyard is quite eye catching which will be good for a PTN or if you go to Florida where pin trading is sooo much more popular and the odds of trading with someone other than a cast member are far greater. I really want to go back to Florida next year I'm trying to convince myself with Paris being sooo expensive that its worth the difference :mrgreen:
:D This week I'll be booking my next DLRP trip. After that trip (which will be in January) me and my friend are going to start looking into booking a WDW for 2011. I've only been once before but it was the most magical holiday ever. My friend has never been, so I'm dying to take her there!
It is expensive though, so we'll have to do a lot of saving up!
You should definatley try and save up to go to Florida, it is amazing. I've been lucky enough to go a few times I have family that live over there so I can go and stay with them which saves qutie a lot.
Although going off topic here but some of the rides are sooo much better in Paris, like Buzz Lightyear is just amazing in comparission and its not like the one in Florida isn't good to start off with!!! But for the fireworks and the atmosphere and the whole parks that Paris doesn't have and everything else beyond Disney definately worth it!
Oh and back on topic in Florida in a couple of the malls they have official Disney outlet stores which sell some of the proper theme park merch for unbelievable prices I got a hat for a $1 you could pick up tee's (if you could find any that weren't xxs or xxxl) for about $5 and they had all kinds of other stuff and even a few pins.
:D I found one of the outlet stores when I went last year. :P We bought most of our gifts there.
Well you got lucky then, I found mostily that wasn't worth buying even with the mark downs because it was all dated for the year before. However, I wasn't that bothered the real Disney bargains are to be had in the sales in Disney Stores outside the tourist trap by where my family live hello giant Pirate Mickey for $10!!!! I'll have to take a photo of him sometime.
Back on Topic :D
New pins out tonight on the website!
Mr Toad
Cruella and Dalmations
and in stores, Mickeys Band Concert
roll on 5pm
:P I get more excited about seeing which pins are coming out next.
lol us too!
I'm looking forward to the Mickey pin in stores tomorrow. I love Mickey pins and anything Mickey related so I'm definately getting that one. It looks like they're going to be doing a series of Mickey pins so I'll be v.happy if that turns out to be the case. And I'm also hoping with halloween being just around the corner that we'll get some NBC pins in the next few wks.
Yes its a series of four based on the shorts, its a nice series and I will definatly be taking a few of those to trade while in DLP :D
Just ordered my online editions :cheshire_bounce: I don't know why everyone hates them, they are huge for the money and most of them are sliders/pin on pin of some type. Plus these new ones are LE of only 200 :shock:
The only new pin added to the website is another in that Mickey series. :) That looks like it's going to be a lovely little set, but I'll probably give it a miss. :P Right now I'm just debating placing an online order.
Mum and I went halves on the P&P so we could order some pins off the Disney Store website. I got the Robin Hood pin and the Hercules pin, and mum got two of the Cruella pins. :o Looks like we got them just in time, as the Cruella pin is no longer available.
Edit: o.o Cruella pin is back on the website. Weird!
aw cool I am really glad you got the pins you wanted! :D :D :D
:) I think the Hercules one is fabulous, and I really love the Robin Hood one too. :? The Cruella pin is a bit disappointing, so my mum is just going to keep hold of them and try selling them later down the line, or maybe trading them if she ever goes to another Pin Trading Night.
just got round to sorting out my UK collection again, so here we have the two online LE
Cruella (didnt realise her car moved, I suppose it makes it a bit better for the money)
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/110_4440.jpg)
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/110_4441.jpg)
and Mr Toad
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/110_4442.jpg)
hmm not too keen on them, but there are only 200 of them, and we need them to keep our collection complete so ho hum
Has anyone else noticed that they keep disapearing from the website andt then re-appearing?
They're not great are they Clare? My mum was pretty disappointed too. At least she only got the Cruella one though. I think she would've been gutted if she would've got the Mr Toad one too.
:o And yeah, I've noticed that as well!
not great no, we just need them as we have a compete collection, there have only been 2 I wouldnt have bought, Kermit and miss Piggy valentines day pin and the Mr Toad one, but I have seen one go up to £18 on ebay, so i will be keeping hold of them until they dont come back onto the website, and then we will sell them
:P Yup, that's what my mum will do as well. If she still has them both in January, I may take one with me to try and trade if I end up being there for a Pin Trading Night.
well we might save ours for Florida, not sure yet
Wonder when the new cast lanyard pins will come to the disney store. I haven't been in my disney store since like the week before I went away! :(
wow loving the November released esp the LE stitch pin! it looks fab and the Dory & up Core pin! Yay! Although another Tinker core pin- :roll: check out the site! :D
:shock: I can't believe that that silly bottle cap pin is £7! That's surely the biggest rip-off so far. I'd never pay that amount for such a plain pin. There's no pin-on-pin or movement or anything!
In regards to the new stuff, the Stitch one looks amazing! Will surely have to pick that up on the day it's released, as Stitch is very popular. I'm annoyed that there's yet another Tink core pin on the way, but at least this one can be easily told apart from the rest!

I didn't even check the price! omg £7! :o :shock: :o :shock: Well I am definately not getting that!!! I agree with you about the stitch pin! :D/
I don't think I will get the Tink core pin when it's released although I will probably end up giving in lol.
going to the Disney store tomorrow, may get one or two I haven't got her like those mickey cartoon pins and the baloo and happy core pin! :D
Lol, I had been hoping that the cap pin would be cheap as I could stock up on them before DLRP incase the pin boards are out and about.
:P Core pins sometimes end up on the cast lanyards, so I'll most likely just wait and try and get Baloo that way.

hehe that's smart :D ! I can't really do that as hardly anyone trades in my local store..only 2 others and even they are rare lol! :P
Oh I sent you a pm! :wink: :D
:) Only Core pin I've ever bought is the Sleeping Beauty Castle pin and the WALL-E pin. All the others (Dalmatian, Marie, Stitch, 3 other Princess Castle pins) have been traded off Cast Members.

Really!! :o Wow I would love to be trading at your store hehe! My store was supposed to be sending away for a few more trading pins so I hope they have by now, although I won't get too excited hehe! :wink:
:P Honestly, I'd rather their lanyards be full of pins from WDW/DLRP/etc instead of pins that I can easily buy. They keep sending away for new trading pins, but they get traded with store bought core pins soon after.
That "silly bottle cap pin" has been a really popular design in the American parks and by the looks of things on facebook groups etc it will be popular here too, its Up so most people will have to have it!
We are loving the look of the new pins, I just can't wait to buy them! and at least this tink pin is a little more original :lol:
I still think it's very plain though. Too plain to be classed as a £7 pin. The £7 price is meant to be reserved for series pins/pins with effects/etc. I know there's only a £2 difference between that and the £5 pins, but it just seems silly to me that they want more for that pin than they have for much nicer LE pins such as the Stitch St Paddy's pin (another popular one), the Lion King pin, the Bambi Easter pin, etc.
o-o Up has only been official released in cinemas today (or very recently), so some people won't even know what it is.

well there is already quite a bit of hype around this pin, I have never heard about the £7 price being only for series/pins with effects. LE officially are priced between £5 and £7, so that must mean the £3 are just a bargan! I just cant wait to see up
Erm...no they weren't. ^^; St Paddy's Stitch and Easter Bambi were both £5. I should know because I bought both of them, and that's what I was charged. I still have the cards that say £5. That's also the prices listed on PinPics. o.o; I hope that doesn't mean you were over-charged when/if you bought those two pins. They were never £7.
Everywhere else prices their pins based on the effects/size/etc. The Up pin just doesn't fit the bill of what would usually be classed as the higher value LE pin. :) That's all I'm saying.

I have to agree that the Lion king pin which was only £3 was much nicer andit was a pin on pin!

I bought them both too, infact I bought about 5 of the stitch pins lol, and I was just getting confused against the Stitch with frogs. I dont really feel the need for you to get huffy.
Maybe the pin is a smaller edition size, I havent looked at that yet
Well I'll probably cough up the £7 for the up pin. I'm currently choosing to reserve my judgement until I've actually seen it in person in a store tomorrow. But I went to see Up in the flicks tonight, and I just loved it as a film. Although I think I'd rather spend £7 on going to see Up again it was that good!!!
o.o I wasn't getting huffy. I was just worried that you had been charged £7 for those pins when the price has always been £5. That wouldn't have been fair on you at all.
ok Sorry. Yeh I thought that too for a moment while I was sat looking at the wrong backing card lol oh well.
I cant believe, looking back that it was only £5! it seems so rare now that a LE pin is only £5 but I suppose it is to be expected as it takes off in the UK
To be honest i am a bit disappointed i was really hoping they would do a Halloween pin or a Christmas pin but not as yet, it's too late for Halloween now but i would have loved a Jack Skeleton pin.

Ro
Thats a really good point Belle's world! I never even thought about a halloween pin!! Whoever designs these pins really doesn't aim to make pins people will typically want...unless he thinks people want a lot of Tinkerbell pins!
I was in my local disney store today but unfortunately they hadnt got the new pins out ( i think they were still looking for them on the delivery) so I haven't seen them in person yet. I know clarebelle you were saying that the cap pin will be popular but I really can't see that happening...well definately not in my store over here unless the english fans love it :?
I got the first mickey cartoon pin, although I am not sure if I kinda regret it as its not that great and since pin trading night I really only want to buy the ones I really want.
P.s Nadine (girl in Disney store) if your reading this thanks for offering to look for the pins instore today sorry I didn't get back again later in the afternoon to see if you found them!
xxx
Yeah I was thinking that too! It's a shame really, as the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff seems very popular. Fingers crossed for a Christmas pin in December!
I had two really nice visits to the Manchester store today. :) The Manchester store holds a pin trading morning every Saturday when new pins are released (so once every two weeks). I was working today, so I could only pop in before work and again during my lunch. In the morning I ended up buying two of the new Grape pins. Originally I was only buying one (on behalf of my mum), but I ended up buying one for myself just incase I go to another PTN at DLRP. I still think it's a lot to pay for such a plain pin, but there's already 62 people wanting it on PinPics, so maybe it's going to be worth while at some point.
Anyways, that was in the morning. When I came back on my lunch, I chatted with one of my fave Cast Members for a bit about the Up pin that you can get by trading in Vue cinema tickets. Soon after, I was approached by a lovely lady named Elaine. :o I met Elaine on FaceBook (she's part of the same pin trading groups as me), and she recognised me in the store today. We traded pins together and chatted, and she showed me a bunch of her keeper pins that she had on lanyards. :D It was really nice to trade with another guest for a change rather than a Cast Member, and it was really nice to see her pin collection.
Unfortunatly I had to leave soon after as my lunch only lasts 30 minutes! :P But yes, I was so glad I got to meet Elaine in person. She had just finished work when she came to visit the Disney Store, so we're hoping that both of us will have the day off next time they do a pin trading morning so we can trade pins again!

aw that is soo cool!! :D hehe, I love when you get to meet and talk to other disney fans! :D Hehe so you gave in with the grape pin! is it any nicer in real life? I still don't think I am going to buy it. My "local" (an hour away) disney store was sooo busy today it was unreal, the manager girl was saying that that is probably going to be the way it will be up until christmas.. I hate trying to get around the disney store at christmas lol! I think I will be just going to the online store lol :wink:
:) Yeah, she was really nice, so I hope to see her in the Disney Store again.
I have to admit, the Grape pin is nicer IRL than it is on the site. I've only bought it to trade or sell, so I have no intention of keeping it. :P The Cast Members today said it would be a good investment.

lol cool. I don't think I will be saving up any limited editions for trading for a lil while cus I spent a fortune on ones for the pin trading night and like they didn't even seem to want them....although I did get lovely pins with the woman I traded with that night in the shop....although god luv her i think she would have taken anything. she was so lovely! I hope I meet her again in DLP (she works there lol).
:D
I don't think I'll ever be stuck with it. On eBay it seems to be going for around £8-£10. So if worst comes to worst, I'll just get my money back for it by selling it on eBay. :o If it's really going to be as popular as people are making out though, I'd like to keep it for a PTN just incase. We'll see.
you should post a pick of your chessire cat pins! I would love to see them sometime :D
wow its amazing people paying over the price when you can still buy it on the disney store online although I really do think its the £5 postage putting people off!
:shock: Actually, it appears to have sold out already on the website. And there's one going on eBay right now for over £20! :lol: OK, I'm actually glad I bought one now. I'm going to keep hold of it and let it appreciate in value.
It certainly is popular the grape soda pin, I'm not able to get hold of one! My local store has sold out, I went about 3.30ish yesterday afternoon never struggled for an LE in there before even managed to pick up no less than 6 of the recent Lion King pin (traded 2 and have 4 ready to go to a PTN oh and I didn't buy them all on the same day I went back a couple of days in a row)
My only hope now is that Mancehster will still have them left on Thursday when I go there, as its already sold out online. If I do come across it though I'm definately getting 2 of them there is one on ebay now for £28!!!!!

It really is shocking that this pin is so popular! It's not exactly that nice lol!
I have to say i'm really surprised how quickly the grape pin has sold out, i haven't seen the film yet but will do soon but i just can't see why it is so popular esp as it doesn't have a character on. I guess everyone has different tastes.

Just back from another trip to our "local" Disney store :)
here are my goodies...

and we traded for this pin...
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/112_4483.jpg)
:) The free cinema pin is so lovely, I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow. My local store is the Manchester one Eager_Eyes, so I'll check to see if they still have Grape pins. My mum ended up buying 2 more today, so we now have 4 between us.
The film was AMAZING. After seeing it, I'm most likely going to try and keep my Grape pin. :lol: What a turn-around eh? I'd like 2, so that I can actually sell one at some point and make some money. I'm pretty poor right now though, so may have to be content with just 1.
aw cool, how do you get the free up pin? are they just in the store and are available if you ask?
Love the pin you traded for Clarebelle, i posted a pick of the lanyard and pins that you were asking about in one of the pin topics lol (cant remeber which one)
wow masamune you got more grape ones hehe!! who wears it in the film? lol
You have to go see Up at a Vue cinema. Then apparently you just take your cinema ticket to your nearest Disney Store and trade it for the free pin! :P There was a big advert for it in the cinema before the film even started, so I bet lots of people will be claiming their free pin.
:lol: And technically no, I still have only 1 Grape pin and my mum has 3. If they have none left tomorrow, I'll ask my mum if I can have one of hers so we have 2 each. I really want to keep one, but at the same time I might be able to either trade it for an awesome LE pin or sell it for like double/triple what I paid for it. So at least if I have 2 then I have that option.

ah ok thanks :) .. there is no Vue cinema's in Northern Ireland..only one in Dublin (just checked) :( ...I am guessing the northern Ireland store cannot take part in this really if there is no Vue cinema...and there is actually no disney store in the republic of ireland so thats a bit messed up lol! :roll:
I've just sent a little email to customer services at the Disney store uk - highlighting that it is quite unfair to rule out their northern Irish customers from having the opportunity to get the 'up' pin due to the fact there are no Vue cinema's here.
I wasn't rude or anything but I just think they should no :P
You can go see it in any vue cinema and claim your pin in any Disney store as far as I am aware :D
We actually got our pins and trading boards etc before we saw the film 8) I was having some trouble with my new car and even though we left off in good time, didnt arrive in Norwich until 2 hours later, but we went to the cinema, got our tickets and went back to the Disney Store and they let us get the pins :D (otherwise they would have run out by the next time I was able to get over) our Disney store are the best :D lol
Masamune I am so glad you enjoyed the film. I really want a Dug pin!
Aveen, you should check if your local Disney Store actually recieved the pins, just incase. :) Maybe they'll just let people have them, if there's no way for them to get to a Vue cinema.
The film was soooooooo good Clare. :lol: I'm gonna have to start having a proper look at all the Up stuff in the Disney Store, as I think I'll be wanting some of it now. I'll be heading into town before work today to claim my cinema pin. :D Can't wait to see it in person.
I agree Aveen. Your Disney store might have a different promotion on, or it might be a VUE promotion not Disney
Hey guys
don't worry I'm not getting like all upset about the pin thing but I jus wanted to make an enquiry and let them know. See the Republic of Ireland is considered another country to Northern Ireland which is part of the uk so basically the Vue cinema in dublin doesn't count as one thats avilable for over here. Also disney are part of the promotion with vue and it is the disney store uk who have the deal with them kinda thing so it's not just Vue's responsibility if you know what I mean.
Anyway It really doesn't matter that much :P
Just checked my email. got one back from guest relations at the Disney Store saying that the deal unfortunately is not available to all disney stores etc but if I gave her my address she would send me a complimentary 'Up' pin! hehe :P that's very nice! =D>
:D Congrats Aveen! It's such a gorgeous pin. I'm so impressed with the size of it, especially considering it was free. :o If it was a sale pin, it would probably be £5.
Quote from: "Masamune" :D Congrats Aveen! It's such a gorgeous pin. I'm so impressed with the size of it, especially considering it was free. :o If it was a sale pin, it would probably be £5.
Yeah exactly I would have actually bought it if it had of been on sale. Nice of them to send me a complementary one. At the end of the day I spent thousands per year on Disney stuff so one free pin won't hurt them hehe :P :wink:
:P I would've happily bought it too.
I am just back from seeing UP (3D)...ok so I kind of get why the Soda pin is popular although I still can't believe it's as popular as it is because it's still not that nice...its just more the meaning of it I guess.
I haven't been to the Belfast store to know if they have any of it.. I am still not sure whether I will get one now I have seen the movie but I guess either way its a good investment as masamune has said!:)
Ive just noticed the disney store website has changed and now you can't see whats going to be released. plus the current core pins of baloo and happy or not even on the site.. are they sold out already?
xxxx
:( Do not like the new Disney Store website. Hopefully they'll bring back the upcoming pin section soon.
Quote from: "Masamune" :( Do not like the new Disney Store website. Hopefully they'll bring back the upcoming pin section soon.
yeah me neither! Its a copy of how the american disney store site is laid out and I never liked it either! :( Oh well, could be worse I guess!
I still haven't recieved the pins I won a few days ago..well last week actually so I will have to email the seller to see what the story is with that! :roll:
I'm still waiting on the Robin Hood pins. In the e-mail they replied to on Saturday, they said they would post the pins on Monday. If they posted them 1st Class on Monday like they said they would, I should've gotten them either yesterday or today. If I don't get them tomorrow I'm gonna send another e-mail, as it will have been a full week then since I actually won them.
:( And they've recieved yet another negative feedback from someone.
aw no way. What does the negitive feedback say? :(
Yeah its a week tomorrow since I won my pins too so if they aren't here tomorrow I am going to email. I am not panicked or anything but probably just impatient. :P
Something along the lines of "Excuses excuses! Not being able to send recorded delivery is biggest lie of all!" :( So not very good at all. I'm trying so hard to give the person the benefit of the doubt, but it's difficult to ignore 6 negative feedbacks in such a short space of time.
well I hope you get to give him a positive one! :wink:

I totally agree, if you go to the Collectables and Pins tab, you have to scroll to find them amongst other collectables. Even if you type in pins on the search, it has 4 hotlinked pages for online/celebration/limited and Core collection pins, I suppose they are bigger to view, with more details than before, but I still preferred to glance at all of them together on one page, so you could see the present ones and then what's coming. All they needed to do was to improve that page really by making them bigger and arrange them better, but not the whole site to what it is now.. :roll:
Theres pins missing from it also like Happy, baloo, the new mickey black and white ones and others I think! :roll:
:) I traded for two lovely pins at the Disney Store today. One of Baloo, and a LE one of Tinker Bell. I reckon the LE one is a scrapper, but I don't care because it's lovely and I have no plans to trade it away. :P
:? Robin Hood pins update: didn't recieve them today, so I've e-mailed the seller. *Sighs*
aw still no sign of my pins either and the total was £38.00 for them :shock: (i didnt realise how much they added up to really)...so I hope I get them soon, even if it's just to resell them lol! :P They are taking ages to come and the strange thing is I won something else from ebay (a disney doll) and I wont it on like tuesday and it was here on thursday! So it didn't get delayed at all :? :?
aw you should post a picture of the pins you traded for, I am sure they are lovely! I am like you, if I really love a pin and know I am never goin gto trade it i don't mind if I am not 100% sure about its authenticity because I love it anyway! :D
:( My Robin Hood pins didn't arrive today. I'll send another e-mail if I don't get them on Monday. And if I haven't got them by Thursday, I'll open a dispute, since it'll be 2 weeks on Thursday since I actually won them.
I hope they at least email you back! Seems we both are having problems with them- maybe someone in the royal mail is a pin theif hehe! :P
I don't think it's that. I just think that the person hasn't posted them yet. They said they were posting them on Monday, but on eBay they only got marked as Dispatched yesterday. So maybe they didn't reply to Thursday's e-mail because they were embarassed about having not posted them yet.
:? They've recieved another negative feedback, this time from someone who bought their item a day before mine. They've recieved the item, but they left negative because apparently the post mark on the stamp revealed it had only been posted a couple of days ago. :D But hey, at least they got their item, so there's hope for mine yet! As long as I recieve them, I won't leave negative feedback.
Guys can we keep this on topic please, I think there was an Ebay sellers topic somewhere, maybe it would fit in there :nemo:
On the topic of the Uk pin trading at the Disney store, I am kind of annoyed that they built this new website and neglected to add some of the recently released pins on it to buy, unless the Happy, Baloo and the Mickey cartoon pins are all sold out? :?
The Core pins wouldnt, they would just make more surley??
I emailed them on Thursday asking why they changed it, detailing my dislike for it and asking if they would introduce an upcoming pins page or if this was the end on UK pins (I know its not, but they dont know that ;) ) and still have no reply, not impressed!
I think they have made the site far harder to navigate.. I doubt they will change it back, obviously they think it works better for the american website so it will be better for here or something! :roll:
oh I am under no illusion that my email will do anygood, besides changing the whole look of the website would have cost them greatly, but I does slightly irritate me how they have campaigned for pin trading to take off in the UK and onces it does so, they disreguard thier loyal customers, and cant even be bothered to send back a standard reply acknowledging reciept of an email/querie
Yay we managed to get another 4 Grape Soda pins today :D
Quote from: "Clarebelle"Yay we managed to get another 4 Grape Soda pins today :D
lol you are doing well with your grape soda pins! :P I haven't been to my "local" store yet to know if they even have any left hehe but i don't mind if they don't to be honest. The Pin trading night I went to has changed my outlook on the pins stuff.
well we will take some to trade this year, save one or two for florida, we are going to the UK pin meet in Nov, and I will probably put one or two of them on ebay, I dont like to do it but I want to try and pay for as much as possible of our WDW holiday (we are going with Chris' sister who is a uni student and her girlfriend so we want to pay for us all to go) with "raised" money, so I am trying to "raise" a couple of hundred to put into shares and play the stock market.
We will be going to get some more probably on Tuesday.
thats great. Have you booked the WDW holiday yet? I am thinking of going possibily in 2010 but not sure just yet what I am doing.
I wish the Disney store was nearer to where I live. I guess it's only about an hour away but it's a bit of hastle as I don't drive and it's the only store in the whole of ireland at the moment!
well we have three "local" disney stores, ones 50 miles away, ones 45 miles away and the other I can only reach buy train and that takes 1 1/2 hours so none are really close
No we havent booked, I am looking to book in July when I have some money coming out of one of our investments, but Chris gets a fairly good deal through work so we can go for 3 weeks, so I also need to wait until I get my 5 years so I get extra holiday at work
:) My local Disney Store is in my local shopping centre, which is about a 10 minute bus ride from my house. I work in the same shopping centre, so it's just around the corner from where I work. It's literally just a two minute walk away, so I feel very lucky.
That is really lucky! Mine about an hour away.. or more if by bus. I lived near it for a year when I was a student and I was in there all the time lol! :wink:
I wish they would put up the upcoming pins on the website...and put back on all the pins that are actually for sale! :roll:
:lol: I try not to go in too much, as chances are the pins on the lanyard won't have changed much within 24 hours. I tend to go every 2-4 days. :) I'm probably gonna pop in today before work.
:( And yeah, I really hope they add the upcoming pins section soon.
It took a while, but today I recieved a reply concerning my email to Guest Services
QuoteDear Guest,
Thank you for your e-mail.
I am pleased to advise that we have taken your comments on board and made changes to the design and navigation of the website that should help to address your concerns. Pins can now be viewed as a separate sub-category, although they still sit under the broad 'Collectibles and Pins' heading. You may also find it easier to navigate using the search bar and entering the word 'Pins' as a search term.
Once again, thank you for your comments and I hope you now find the site more easy to use.
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
With kind regards,
Justin
They didnt address every point that I bought up, but its a start, and these still none of the new releases, we might just have to wait for those to turn up.
Maybe if other members of the forum emailed asking for the return of the "upcoming releases" page, they might listen to us...
I just sent an email to request that the 'Upcoming releases' be returned. I also asked for them to put on the recently released pins that they have not put on the site like Happy, baloo, the mickey movie pins etc.
Have just been on a different forum and someone else had also sent an email asking for the upcoming pins to be put back on, the reply they got was basically sorry but we have no plans to do this. The only way will now be going into the shop and looking. This is really bad especially for the people like myself who have to travel a long way just to get to the shop, don't really want to have to do this on the off chance a pin i like may have come out.
Ro
Although I'm not far from my local Disney Store, I still think it sucks that they've taken away the upcoming pins page. :( I used it to plan ahead in regards to what money I would be spending as well.
Ah well. On the bright side, at least the pins are always released on the website on Friday. That way at least if you see a new pin you like, you can just head down on Saturday.

Please tell them this! large retail companies will always listen to their customers more than staff. If we want it back, we need to tell them not just discuss it on here :D

Lets hope they aren't slow putting them on the site like they are with the current releases! :roll:
This is true. I'll be checking the website first thing tomorrow evening when I get home from work!
I notice they have finally put baloo, happy and 2 of those mickey pins on the website today!
What pins were supposed to be released today/tomorrow was it the 3rd mickey pin?
Mickey and the Giant and the Stitch pin I think?
Quote from: "Clarebelle"Mickey and the Giant and the Stitch pin I think?
I don't think the stitch one was out till november was it? I am just thinking because I remember looking at the pins that were released tomorrow (being my birthday) and not thinking they were that great although i could be wrong, I hate how they have removed the upcoming releases! :(
:( They haven't been added to the website, but as far as I know, it's the new LE Mickey pin and an Up pin. :) I'll be buying the Up pin tomorrow for sure.
Me2 if my store has them out. They always seem to have their delivery either on a friday night or saturday morning and they have difficultie finding the pins and have them available early on saturdays unfortunately.
I am starting to get a little worried as I cant even find the new pins on here http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/index (http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/index) surely they cant be ceasing to sell them ... can they?

I don't think they would as its been pretty successful esp in the english stores I think...but then again you never know.. in some ways I wouldn't be surprised, its nt the first bad move they would have made :roll:
well on one hand they have been reducing LE sizes, and had a month with no releases, they havent announced a Halloween pin, the last pins showing on the Pin Trading website are the Up bottlecap, Baloo and Happy pins and both the stores and their website have a backlog of LE pins that havent sold (every online LE is still available, Kermit and Miss Piggy Valentines pin is still hanging around like a bad smell dispite being a cheap trader), They avoided my question when I asked if they were stopping selling pins and theres no more room for many Disney Stores to display all the LE that they have.
Also our Disney Store has never recieved a refresh on trader pins from the America parks :(
But they have just made extra space for Core pins in stores, it has been fairy popular (look at the UP pin, but thats the only one really that has sold out quickly, not even Paddy's day stitch went that quick) But they cant stop the UK pins
:D I had such a great time at the Pin Trading morning in the Manchester store today. :P It was so much fun! They set up a table so that people could lay out their collections and traders, and they had a big cork board set up which had all the pins that are available to buy on it. I traded for a bunch of really lovely pins, including a Cheshire Cat one which I absolutely love!
:( The only downside was that the Up pin that was supposed to be released today hadn't arrived in store at all! The staff member who's in charge of the pin trading stuff said they had been given no info at all about what had happened to the Up pin. :lol: So then we all had a rant about the new website. Seriously, NO ONE likes the new site.
But yes, other than that it was great. :) Can't wait for the next one in two weeks!
Clarebelle: yeah I agree in many ways its been a struggle moreso than a success but they can't stop them :(
Masamune aw wow that sounds brilliant, your so lucky!! I don't think my store got any pins in today, the girl in charge didn't think there was. I got 2 grape soda pins, I still don't really like them so I may trade both, not sure though. would love to see the pins you got today:)
I think my pins may have arrived today, i don't know 2 packages came for recorded delivery but i wasnt home so I have to wait until monday to collect them! Typical! :roll:
I was all for the idea of them updating the site. At first I kind of liked it but now that feeling has faded. I want the upcoming pins page back just like everyone else I used to like going there to have a little look at what was coming along. Although to be fair the last couple of pins it wasn't much use as the photos were just farrr too small.
I really hope that they don't decide to stop UK pin trading it would be so unfair to take it away from us now, I think realistically its not even been going for a year yet things like this take time to establish themselves properly. And it needs better advertising.
Massamune - I'm glad to hear the meet in Manchester went well. I'm aiming to make it to the next one, I don't often get weekends off so its difficult for me to get there. But its looking good for the next one :)
Im glad the pin meet went well Masamune and I hope they get the Up pin in soon
I agree with everyone that they cant stop pin trading, of corse I do, but I'm just a little worried lol. I know it hasnt been a year quite yet, but from a retail prospective they are holding a lot of stock (albeit very small stock) that isnt selling very fast (the old LE) which to a company means dead money, they have paid for them to be made, but are not selling, and taking up space both in stores and in stockrooms for their website. Maybe the answer is a SALE?!?!?!
I cant wait to get the new pins today but I dont have my shareholders card :( it is with my friend in Disneyland so its in a much much better place.
@Masamune what pins did you manage to get hold of? We were served by someone who strikes me as someone who works for Disney because its a job, he doesnt seem interested in anything disney-related and wont even engage in a converstation with us and so we left pretty much empty handed, totally unimpressed with the service and the guy knowledge. We didnt even ask to trade.
Has anyone else noticed that they no longer wear the lanyards?? they are always hidden away in a draw when we visit Norwich or Peterborough stores?? is it only them that are doing this?

Well my local store never wear them really I don't think I have ever been in and seen anyone wearing it except the very first time I traded. I haven't traded the past few times either... i feel like the whole enthusiasm from everyone is going...including me now :(
Have you been to get the new releases Aveen?
When I was in store yesterday I was told there was no releases...even though I thought there was...but i didn't really care enough to investigate more. Were there pins released yesterday? It's just that Masamune said her store didn't get them in either! :?
No there was 1 pin released in our store - the next in the mickey's series, but we asked and the guy said it was the only one :( not impressed 100 mile journey for a £7 pin.

100 mile!!! :shock: :o :shock: :o
As I wrote yesterday in the Disney store thread I am really disappointed with many things in regards to the Disney store uk! :(
Im over it! lol although I would say no to a job :lol:
I haven't been to the Disney Store since Saturday, so I don't know if they recieved the Up pin yet. :( It's just so annoying that it hasn't been released when it should've been, but then it's more annoying that they haven't given us any news of a delay either!
hey guys and gals.
Im new to pin trading. Got refered here by Masamune :)
And as you can tell from my user name I do indeed collect Stitch pins and as masamune has told me is popular so not a big surprise really lol
I also collect UP pins and have the dvd pre-order pins on there way :) So I was dissappointed on saturday when I got to the trading day and it wasnt out :( I will be checking friday/saturday to see if they get it in then.
glad to be here hehe and hope to get to know you all.
:) Hi Danny.
:shock: Fingers crossed that the new Stitch pin won't be delayed next week eh?
Hi Danny, glad you found the forum, its strange actually as i kept meaning to tell you about it. I will be going to a Disney Store on Saturday so fingers crossed they have lots of great pins.
Ro
I know lindsay I really want that stitch pin and hope Im not going to be disappointed again but least Dory will be there XD
I got a response from DisneyStore about the UP pin and was told this..
Dear Guest
Thank you for your enquiry.
I am sorry but we do not currently have any UP pins available at the moment. We are constantly receiving new stock that will then be updated on to our website.
Shame really but seeing as even they know nothing about it, it is like the pin doesnt exist :(
Hey Stitch2814/Danny
Welcome to the forum!:) I love Stitch too although I collect lots of different pins.
It seems like the Disney store don't know anything about themselves and their stock sometimes! Remember when they put the baloo pin on the website then removed it and didnt release it for ages! :roll:
glad to have another pin trader on the boards:)
Thanks aveen for the kind welcome.
I collect stitch and UP pins at the moment and any other character I like but mainly stitch hehehe he is the best :)
Got quite a few pins on there way mostly stitch but 3 more UP pins so cant wait for them to arrive.
since im new to the forum where is the thread to post your pin collection specifically just pins as I only collect disney pins LOL
Well I do have the big fluffy Kevin toy its mint XD
traded for new pins today (the CM's were actually wearing the lanyards again :D ) got to see the new Up pin too!
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/DSCF3002.jpg)
:D OMG I love that Captain Hook pin! What a great find!
:P And how nice is the Up pin? Did they say how much it was going to cost?
£3 and it was nice! but alot smaller than it appeared cant wait to get it but will have to wait until sunday or possibly monday
oooh £3 I thought it looked like a £5 pin from the website so cant wait to add it to me board on Saturday :)
looking forward to seeing it! :D
me to I know its similar to an already released UP pin but I think ours differs due to the pin having Kevins head on the pin (Im sure I saw it when the image was up lol) so bring on saturday I say :)
Yes Kevin is on there :D/
Cant decide which store to go to in London... probably both if we have time :roll:
you want to go to both so you will probably make time :P plus you get to look at two lanyards then hehe
4 :D yeh we have already made plans to go to both lol
are the london stores big? is there only 2 in london or is there more? I say only although I think 2 is brilliant! :P
Theres a small one in Covent Garden, and a two storey one on Oxford Street (the 2 I know how to get to) then there is in Westfield shopping centre and at the Glades shopping centre
aw wow cool! :D
Boxed pin set! Yays! :D/
(//http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/377/screenshot20091030at210.png)
Online exclusive of 400 in a rather snazzy box! Seems they are beginning to take it seriously.
A tad pricey but I've ordered mine seeing as the original shorts have to be one of my favourite parts of the company's history. I'll post pictures of it in this thread tomorrow and my updated collection as well in the other thread.
oooh thats cool not for me though so I doubt I will be buying it, but if I do then it will be for trading value only.
Ok and a little update on the UP pin that has been said by a CM is on there order at a different store to where me and lindsay go that it is out tomorrow BUT I asked in store this afternoon and the CMs had no clue about what I was on about and thought I was on about the grape soda pin or the Vue pin told them no and all I got in return was pins are released a week on saturday (which I already knew) I think some cast members think we traders are stupid but we know what is out before they do lol
sorry I am finding it hard to follow your last post, if you are asking if the Up pin is out in stores tomorrow the answer is yes, as I have already stated, and it is priced at £3, a CM was kind enough to show us one when we were in store on Thursday.
@Barnsey now I have to buy them!!
lol Im not disagreeing with you just that the store in manchester told me none are out this week. But as I said to lindsay as I popped into her work that I think that they were new staff so wouldnt know.
I don't know ifd I like the box set enough or not
:shock: HOLY CRAP! JACK PIN SET! LE 200! ONLY £20! ONLINE EXCLUSIVE! GO BUY NOW!
http://www.disneystore.co.uk/online-exc ... 62/300201/ (http://www.disneystore.co.uk/online-exclusives-nightmare-before-christmas-pin-set/p/20162/300201/)
:lol: I'm sorry, but I'm just really excited!
OMG I cant buy it yet NOOOOOOOOO :( goes to cry in the corner
lindsay any chance you could get two as I really want that and dont want to miss out on it lol I can give you the cash tomoz if your in work or will be in manc
:( Sorry Danny but my mum's wanting a set too, and the most you can order is 2. Which sucks because I would've liked a spare set for myself, but I guess it's them just trying to be fair.
:( its cool lindsay nevermind I just hope to god they have some left as I really really want them as I told you Id buy any Nightmare Before Xmas pins lol
It could go either way. The Cruella and Mr Toad pins are both LE of 200, but they're still available on the website despite being released over 2 weeks ago. I reckon the Jack pins will be quite popular though, because not only are they Jack, they're also pretty good value for money at £5 per pin. There hasn't been many £5 LE pins so far, and these ones are only available online.
:o Hopefully word will be slow to get out.
I know fingers crossed I imght be able to get a set, can you pay for them with Paypal or does it have to be through credit card details as if its not through paypal then I cant get for at least another week :( but if I can then I can get it sunday/monday
I'll let you know once I've ordered.
:lol: Just looking for £10 worth of stuff so I can get the free P&P.
oooh cool thanks (fingers crossed) lol
:( There was no Paypal option. Sorry Danny!
As the extra things I got an Alice tree decoration that I've yet to see in the stores, and the Alice online exclusive pin, which I may just end up selling in order to make a bit of money back. :lol: So did not want to shell out £20 on more pins after I said the Jessica one was my last online pin purchase for a while.
awww thats such a shame I know it was on the .com site just was a long shot lol well I wont be able to send the money to my bank account so if there still there next friday then I will get them if not oh well lol
more room to put stitch pins XD
Massmune - thanks for posting the link to the nightmare set!!!!! I've just come home from seeing green day in manchester and I'm far too hyper for sleep so now I shall add a new pin set to my joy!!! Can't believe that it wasn't sold out already
danny you stil there?
yes Im still here lol
do you want me to buy you a set and then you can send me themoney next friday??
I just text lindsay asking for your mob num i thought u were gone hehe!

If you need my mobile number let me know. you are a STAR!

Aw no worries, I know Lindsay would have if she could and I would hate if I thought I was going to miss out on a set I really wanted...at least this way your guaranteed it. Erm if you could send like £1.50 for postage or something that would be great, I will prob send it recorded or next day delivery, whatever the extra is I will pay it, is that ok?? :)
I think all you probably need is my email address for paypal which I will send you in a private message now as it is different to my regular email :)
that is definatley fine :) I have no problem paying towards the postage either. I know lindsay would of if she could of :)

aw yay thats great!! I may have to convince my dad to drive to belfast tomorrow to get that pin cus its brilliant! :D
well if he wont drive you or go to belfast let me know and I shall pick one up on tuesday when Im at the store for the Christmas charity event.
Quote from: "Stitch2814"well if he wont drive you or go to belfast let me know and I shall pick one up on tuesday when Im at the store for the Christmas charity event.
Aw thats dont worry though I am sure I will be able to get it :D What is the christmas charity event?? :D
the charity event is on tuesday at our store. I dunno if other stores are holding one...
Well you adopt a teddy bear for £5 which goes to the new childrens hospital and in return you get a pin which is a star.
Not seen what the pin is yet but all we know it is a star :)
:( They still don't have the Up pin at the Manchester store. I really hope they get it before Tuesday! And I can't believe it's only a £3 one. :P I would've happily paid £5 for that one.
:D And aww, I'm so glad that Aveen was able to get the Jack set for you Danny!
:lol: I now find myself debating the TV set.
hehehe I know aveen is awesome XD
Hmm thats is weird then that the manchester store never got them in as you wold think they would have. And least I was right about that they didnt recieve any when I asked yesterday lol
I can pick you one up before tuesday lindsay just in case they not got any as I will be buying another one anyway for trading lol
Danny :Aw wow thats brilliant, I dont think they do that here, I wish they did I would definately do it! It's a brilliant Idea!
Lindsay: aw I really hope that the manchester store gets it in soon. I wonder if manchester doesn't have it then maybe belfast doesnt either :?
like I said then aveen it is weird as a store half an hour away had them in stock thats where I got mine from but the bag they brought out didnt look like they had that many of then to begin with. Id of said 20 in that one bag the girl had but dunno if they had more in the back...
Aveen - would you like me to do the charity thing for you and call that postage for my jack pins??
:lol: I just want to buy SOMETHING with my 20% off voucher on Tuesday, so I'm just gonna hold out till then. If they still don't have it after that, maybe they'll get it in time for the pin releases next Saturday.
hahaha hopefully dan can shed some light on the pin when we see him on tuesday :P and if not then at least saturday not that far off to see if they have them then :)

Aveen - would you like me to do the charity thing for you and call that postage for my jack pins??
aw no its ok but thanks for offering, I just think it would be really good if they did it n more shops :D
Masamune: how do you get the 20% voucher? a cast member emailed me about them, she was going to give me one but i didnt get down to see her yday?
:) Me and Danny got ours when we went to the pin trading morning last Saturday, but they were giving them out the other day as well. The voucher can only be used on the date that's written on it, so I simply HAVE to buy something on Tuesday! :P
come to think of it though mine and yours never had a date on them so technically we can use ours on any day of the week XD it wont work but just an idea lol

Are you sure?? as I will get two just in case you change your mind after you see what it looks like lol
lol aw ok then go on, I may as well :P hehe
hehehe cool cool I shall post a picture tuesday if we get the pins on that day lol I think we will :P
Hi All,
Did some great trades in Covent Garden and Oxford Street today got the following:
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC02663.jpg)
Really happy with the UP pin as they had none for sale in either of the stores. Sorry Danny no Stitches, i am going to Leeds in 2 weeks so fingers crossed for then.
Ro
hehe no problem Ro.
I wonder why no one seems to have the UP pin for sale as its not available in mancester still... Seems Im the only one who was able to purchase it..
I was at the disney store today, I managed to get the UP pin, they didnt seem to have much of it and it took a lot of me convincing them it was released and them looking! I also got happy and baloo.....bought 2 of the UP pin....
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/pins-6.jpg)
The shop was quite quiet danny so I got them to search and I found this ( you can see the eye fault).....
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/stitchpin.jpg)
I traded for these two, was so surprised to see them on the lanyard...
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/pinstradednov1st.jpg)
ooooh I wants it lol I dont mind the uncoloured eye :P is it for trade?? and the cheshire cat pin is nice :)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I gave them that Jasmine pin when I was in London last week!!!! Was unsure if to trade or keep that one decided to trade in the end for a Mickey pin. Glad to see that she found a good home :D

aww lol:)
is the pin actually a disney pin or more of a thank you pin? Have you ever done it before?
I think its a disney pin but Im unsure as its something new lol we know it is a star... copied from Facebook discussion page...
The trees are going to be filled with £15 disney plush - a mix of the characters that you can normally buy in store. For a £5 donation, you can 'purchase' one of those £15 teds for charity. The plush is then given to a child for Christmas at a local charity. For example, in Chester, our plush will be going to our local hospital and to a hospice. With me so far?
Well, as a 'thank you' for donating the plush you get two things. The first is a tag which you fill out to a child and tie back onto the tree (it'll be tied to a teddy when delivered) and is what the event is all about. I like the idea and will be doing it for my niece and nephew to remind them of kids less fortunate. BUT...the second thing you get is for you (or whoever you donate on behalf of) and it's a pack.
The pack is a beautiful softback book on the Christmas Carol (the new movie) and in the middle of it is a gorgous 'magic wishing star pin'. I've only seen the prototype but it's lovely. The pin is pretty much as it sounds, a large christmas star with something on it like 'magic wishing star, 2009' - sorry but I can't remember if it's gold or silver. They are hoping this will become an yearly event but for this year, as a test, they are going to donate a max of 20,000 plush - and therefore 20,000 pins. When they're gone, they are gone and I/we think they event will prob sell out in two weeks. Everyone at the meeting was talking about buying two or three themselves because of the charity angle alone.
thats what the pin is supposed to be but I think it is a disney pin.
@ Belle - :D What great trades! :P I love it when I get to trade for Core pins that I want instead of buying them.
@ Aveen - :) Congrats on the cute Cheshire pin! If I didn't have it already I would want it badly, as it's totally adorable!
@ Danny - Not long till Tuesday! *Is really excited now* Yay!

ah they have a tree like that in the belfast store! But they didnt mention anything about the event!
Its probably a plain pin but at the end of the day its for a good cause! :D
Lindsay: Phew I am glad you have it because I like it and was hoping u already had it hehehe :P
after reading that are you still wanting me to pick you one up??
Quote from: "Stitch2814"after reading that are you still wanting me to pick you one up??
I honestly dont mind lol whichever is easier for you,
if you want to just pay £20 for the pins £1.50 towards postage and trade one of your pins for the pin I bought today thats grand or if you want to pay £20 for pins and then use the £1.50 and the money for the stitch pin towards a star hehe!:)
Well I pick up another just in case and then you can decide if you want it or not :)
Im just waiting on the guy paying me now as all the auctions have ended now and made £85 so not bad I say.

£85 is really good!!! hehe aw the pin will be fine thanks:)
I got your money for the pin set too, thank you hehe! :D :wink:
YAY! wasnt expecting such a quick reply :P you not been to bed yet lol
hehe im lying in bed with the laptop ..ill go to bed soon tho hehe! Think i'm becoming and insomniac hehe! :P :shock: :P
hehehe Im doing the same thing, I wont be going to bed just yet, I got stuff to finish off before I head to bed :P
:P I was going to mention, you two stay up soooo late. :lol: You'll be having dreams about Pin Trading soon enough. :) That's so nice of you Aveen to have tracked down the Stitch ducky pin. So all Danny needs now is the St Paddy's Day pin and the online pin.
:o Speaking of the online pin, I might be making another order tonight, although I'm not 100% sure yet. :lol: I now have a voucher for 10%, so I might get the TV set and also see if it will let me get another Jack set. If I do, would you like me to order the Stitch rocket pin for you Danny? Only issue is that I'd be buying it all on my mum's credit card, so you would have to give me the money back when I see you tomorrow.
Wow,
Only just caught up on the weekends discussions after being out most of the weekend, the Jack pins look great, glad they finally decided to bring out a Halloween pin, don't laugh but i have had dreams about pin trading! I guess it's because compared to most of you i only get to do it occassionally, at the moment it's every 2 weeks but after beginning of December it will be every couple of months and i get withdrawal symptoms! Totally addicted.
Ro
well that really depends on how much this package will cost me to send to america for the stuff I sold on ebay lol So I will let you know and thankyou for the offer :) but if temptation arrises then I think I will end up getting it :P
I do have a st paddys day stitch pin coming, my boyfried got me one as a surprise its stitch in boxer shorts with clovers or whatever on it :)
hmm just gave ebay a quick check and someone is already trying to sell the new UP pin for £5 luckily it has no bids yet and I hope it doesnt sell as if its goes for more than £10 or even £7 then Id feel sorry for the buyer :P
And I just noticed that the seller is using my image I used for pinpics...robbing cow XD
:offtopic:
Guys now that Anthony sorted out the pin threads for thier purpose and on topic, maybe you could use MSN or the Chat room that Bigrossco set up for magic forum members, or even the general pin chat topic Honey started.
Also I believe it is one of the forum rules not to double post :)
not to sound negative clarebelle but we were keeping on topic as we were discussing purchasing the Jack pin set. So I dont see a problem there at all lol as we were keeping on topic.
And its not like there is much to talk about at the moment in this thread lol so I apologise if I have taken it off topic of pins.
Also clarebelle, if you have forgotten I am new so I have no idea of the threads you mentioned as I mainly stick to this part of the board. And Im on many forums that can go off topic when there is little to talk about.
So Im sorry wont happen again.
Im sorry but I do not see how a conversation about whos gone to bed on topic of UK pins
well that stemmed from her letting me know she had recieved my payment for the jack pins, so sorry for posting in the first place.
I dont mean to be be rude but you are not a moderator of the forum so please dont tell me what I can and cant say in a post.
Ok sorry for double posting clarebelle but I only just took this so its going in a new post wheather you like it or not lol
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/003-16.jpg)
Got me 3 more UP pins this afternoon one is for a friend and two are for anyone tomorrow who needs it. and you can see the 2 pins I traded at the disney store :)
I love the ones you traded for! I love pins with Lilo on them! Lilo rocks too hehe! :D :D
:D Eee, they're so lovely and colourful. Those Stitch pins are really cute too. :P I have the Aloha one.

well I just got back in from the Christmas Event and what can I say, the tree with the toys on is cute :) even the pin is cute and nice addition I think. And its an official pin trading pin as I looked on the back (there you go lindsay)

aw thats really cute!!:) Its definately an official pin then. Did either of you do much trading today? :D
:) I traded for a DLRP Meeko pin off the cast lanyard, but that was it.
I didnt do any trading :( I missed a stitch pin as well lol.
Yeah its an offifial pin as like I said it has the pin trading logo on the back and says limited release as well.
so you definatley want the pin aveen??
Yeah the pin is nice and i will trade it for the stitch and the postage :D
lindsay - aw I love meeko hehe! go you! :D :D
:) My stuff from the Disney Store website arrived today. :D The Jack pins are even nicer than I expected, as is the Alice/Dee/Dum pin. :P I actually had planned on selling the Alice pin, but now I might not. The Jack set is definatly being kept, so I might end up ordering another one tomorrow.
oooh bring it on saturday lindsay so we can have a closer look :) are they being kept on the card or going on your pin board :P

Does it allow you to buy more than 2?
I love the alice online edition pin, its beautiful! :D
I hope my (and dannys) disney order comes tomorrow! :D
@ Stitch - :) Keeping them on the card for now, propped up against my board. =/ Unfortunatly that card itself isn't in perfect condition, but that's not as important as the pins themselves, so I won't be making a complaint.
@ Aveen - :o Don't know yet. I know it'll only let you buy 2 in one order, but we'll have to wait and see if it lets me buy a 3rd one in a new order.
Gurr ours still didnt come today :( :(
I bought a snowglobe with the pins so i hope that isn't holding it up! :roll:
Ours arrived at like 5pm, because they were delivered by DHL. :o We recieved them the same day we recieved an e-mail saying that the pins have been dispatched, so hopefully you'll get that e-mail tomorrow!
ooooooh est day ever as Ive just sorted out a trade for the st paddys day stitch pin XD Im sooooo happy :)

2. Not that overly interested in whats coming soon maybe the alien one but Im not here for that lol and the others maybe for traders at DLP.
Lindsay its now a good job you look at the site everyday :P imagine if no one looked we would never of known lol (for a while)
:lol: It's always better to be safe than sorry. It's not perfect though, as they haven't updated ALL the pins with their info. :) But still, progress is clearly being made.
yayy I am so happy hehe! I love the Alice pin so much and I like the christmas one! Really happy even with the core pins, I love the old style minnie! :D/
I love the incredibles and stitch pin....ok I am going to be sooo broke!
If you guys get the stitch pin tomorrow will you post a picture?! :D
yeah sure, I can get an image up here for you Aveen :)
yay thanks, its just I cant even see my store having it if I went tomorrow plus I would love to see it in real life! :D
Im gonna get another snowglobe on monday I think (new credit card month lol) so I will probably buy the pins I want them from online, I have bought loads on ebay so I am gonna be so broke! :P
hahaha I know how you feel, Im broke and need traders lol but I gots me enough for the stitch pin tomorrow so least I get that :P
:P I'll just be buying the Stitch pin today. :? I wish I could make my bloody mind up about ordering off the website again. I really can't afford to, but at the same time, I think I'd regret it if I didn't get a spare Jack set. Also, I have this 10% off voucher for use on the website!
hey aveen is this what you want to see??
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/001-32.jpg)
the pin is awesome!! and sooo cute cause stitch moves inside the pod :) so will look at home on my board hehe
aw its really cool!!! :D :D :D
defo be getting it hehe! :D
oooh I know wait till you see it in hand aveen its such a nice pin :)
:D This is probably one of the best UK pins so far. It's big and shiny and the dome thing with a moving Stitch inside is really unique!
Even though Ive been collecting them only a month now I still say that this pin is one of the best I have as its funky, different and the stitch moves hehe
I don't really collect Stitch, but that pin looks great I may need that for my collection!
We got our online pins delivered on Wednesday and We are loving the TV box set. The actual box is excellent and the pins are much better than you'd think from looking at the online pictures. Loving the Jack set although the back they come on is a bit disappointing I think that they would have looked better in a coffin shaped box.
Went to Disney store Guildford today and picked up Dory. She wasn't on the website on Friday. Did my bit for charity on Thursday and got three of the Charity Xmas pins. Great design and great for trading!
Does anyone else trade in the Guildford store? I try to be there most saturday mornings although work is really cutting into my Disney time :cry:.
WendyandSimon626
well I can speak for myself and lindsay that we trade at the manchester store and Aveen trades in the Ireland store (well there is only one:P)
but we are a happy bunch of traders here so if you have any trades why not post a picture of them here :)
Oh and I got my st patricks day stitch pin this afternoon and I can see why no one would want to part with it as its a very very nice pin and instantly my favourite stitch pin followed closely by the sitting stitch pin :P
Hi we would love to put our trades on the forum but we have rather a few as we have been trading since 2002, please have a look on pin pics (our id is Simonandwendy626) and tell us what you think off our collection.
Its great to find more traders in the UK we are friends with another trader who is based on the south coast, and are always happy to trade like for like. You never know maybe we might all get together one day for a pin event in the UK.
:D/
:shock: Your collection is huge! :D And you have so many lovely pins up for trade.
wow you have so many fantastic traders including 2 that i am looking for in particular - the minnies party train and the hommage walt pin. I also love the brother bear movie pin.. to be honest you have so many up for trade that I love hehe!
My trades is under Aveen2009 however i don't really have many at the moment. I would consider buying the pins I mentioned.
:shock: youve got sooo many stitch pins I would want specifically two pins, the stitch nametag and stitch in ireland :)

hey simonandwendy would you trade pin 70516 (name tag stitch) for my pin 23755 (stitch reading the ugly duckling)??
Really excited as i get to go pin trading tomorrow at the disney store. I can't wait, i've already rang to make sure they ahve the charity pin left and they do so roll on tomorrow and my 6am start to get up to Leeds. Ro
hope you had a great pin trading day Ro :) let us know what you were able to trade and show pictures as well hehehe
I traded for a UP UK pin on the manchester Lanyard the other day as well as the Dory pin, I dont need then but I hate asking for the lanyard and not trading lol so I still have 4 pins on my lanyard and I well in need for some more XD
Hi,
Really quick visit whilst on my lunch break.
I went to Leeds City Centre store on Saturday. Saw the tree for the charity pin, saw no advertisements whatsoever for the charity event. I had rung on the Friday to make sure they had some left so found it really strange. Asked at the pay desk and was told to choose cuddly toys and she pointed in a vague area so i chose Marie, Lady, Stitch and Sully. Then received my four pins and asked to trade with the lanyard which had to be bought out from out the back. I was only offered 1 lanyard so made 2 trades for Mickey pins both of which i have now discovered are scrappers. I did buy the new LE Stitch in a bubble pin and the new Christmas bag. Overall i found the Leeds store to be quite unhelpful. They have loads of charity pins left as no-one knows they are available.
Sheffield Meadowhall which i visited on the way home on Monday however was a different story. I asked to trade and the aldy who was already wearing a lanyard told me about the charity pin, then got a second lanyard out. I traded for A for Ariel, Tweedle Dee stopwatch and Cinderella's ugly stepsister pins. Then i asked to see the pin boards. They were amazing. I will tell you more when i have time.
Ro
Had a bit of time so thought I would write a bit more about Meadowhall. The Disney store was my first port of call, I had pin traded and was told about the Charity pin. They still had some left including one on the lanyard but the tree was absolutely covered in tags. Then I asked to look at the pin board and two were produced full of the majority of UK pins which have been released over the last year. I bought Alice with Cheshire cat dangle LE, Miss Piggy and Kermit LE 3D pin, Stitch laser blast spinner LE, Belle, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty in glittery dress and Stitch Hula pin for trading. I had thought the Miss piggy pin was an internet exclusive but when I got on pinpics it said 14 stores had the pins as well as the internet and Meadowhall is one of these stores. This also applied to the three princess pin, the pins altogether looked so good. If anyone is looking for any of the Romance series they had them all apart from Beauty and the Beast, They also have the majority of the evil spinner pins. The lady behind the till was so enthusiastic about pin trading and was willing to wait whilst I made my choices. Overall my experience was much better in Meadowhall than Leeds, it's just a shame that Leeds is the store I am able to get to more frequently. Anyway my next visit for trading will be London 5th December, where I am hoping to pick up the green alien and the Christmas bauble. I will post photos of my pins when I get the time including a picture of the pin I received from Hong Kong which is gorgeous.
Hey Roanna,
sounds like you had a good and bad experience. I find it can even depend on the staff who are on that day as to weather you have a good experience or not, nevermind the stores lol. They are only supposed to trade 2 pins off the lanyard per day with guests but it doesn't really matter as long as you had a good time hehe..rules are made to be broken :P :wink: I like when the cast are all enthusiastic and friendly!
I haven't ever heard of the pin boards being in the stores is that a board to show you all the ones avilable or is it for trading pins? :D
Belle sounds like you did ok trading!
My store sold last of charity pins today and must agree with Aveen it can vary on who's working at time u go in2 store 2how good an experience u have as many cm's don't have an interest in pins themselves/don't know much about them at mo,u cum in to Exeter when i'm wearing the cm lanyard i cud talk for hours..altho i wud get in trouble..lol :D
our store (mine and lindsays) have all nice CM's and now who we are and get on great but shame there aint anything new at the moment on their lanyard :(
coming up to christmas my store is so busy that no one really has time for trading so I didn't even ask to see the lanyard the last day and I know it's just going to get worse.
The staff know me too in my store but there are just some who are nicer to talk to than others, even if they aren't into pins.
I agree Aveen, I mean some of the newer staff donr know what they are, and most the time the CM's are not wearing the lanyard and have to wait for them to find it, and then its to my amazment that its ALL UK pins on it so its a real shame I think.
Also does the belfast store have any grape soda pins left?? long shot I know but thought I would ask anyway :)

unfortunately not, i thought there would be and was going to buy a few more but they sold out there too, which is pretty surprising as theres not many people around here that are interested in pin collecting but its probably because of how the pin features in the film UP so non collectors would have probably bought it too.
hahaha such a shame I would of been asking you to get me one if they where still there lol but argh well, I would buy one of ebay just to trade but as they are nearly the same price as the Kevin pin (my holy grail) then I might as well add a bit more and buy the kevin pin :lol:
:lol: Should've bought like 10 Grape pins whilst we had the chance.
I know lol I might be able to get kevin for it for all I know :P
:) You never know. The Jessica Rabbit pin that I'm getting off that lovely lady is LE 300, and the Scar/Monstro ones are LE 500. Americans are finding it very hard to get, so they either have to shell out lots of cash for it, or offer a decent trade for it.
lol if I find some one who has krevin who wants that pin im gonna have to find someone who has a spare and try and trade it or buy it lol
o.o I just clicked the link for the people who are trading the Kevin pin, so I could view their wants. One is wanting the new Alice pin that's released here in December, one is wanting our cinema pin, one is wanting our Grape pin AND our cinema pin and one is wanting our Grape pin
all depending on who the traders are as one person if that woman that has it on her trade list but says she has changed her mind and is keeping it or it isnt on her list anymore when it clearly is lol
:lol: The pin I want more than any other is on eBay right now for $135.
is that the Gaston pin the villain-tine pin??
:) Yup. *Sighs* No chance! I'd only spend that amount of money on a pin if I was a lottery winner.
hahahaha I wouldnt pay that much for a pin, the kevin one Im getting was $35 so about £20 but thats not be paying for it so all is good :)

Hi Aveen,
I thought the rule was you could trade a maximum of 2 pins per lanyard per day. I really hope that's the rule or i've been breaking it quite a lot! I had 2 pins from one lanyard and a third from the second lanyard.
A pin board is a velvet board usually behind the counter which shows all pins available to buy. I thought all Disney stores had them to display their pins on. The Sheffield store had 2 including many pins which i thought you could only buy via the internet so it was great. Will definately get round to posting pictures at the weekend if not before. Really love my Alice3 and Cheshire cat pin.
Ro
ah yeah I never though of how it was different lanyards, thats probably right hehe
our store has a board and comes out every time with new pin releases and that is it I think, Ive never asked to see it so I dunno if they would show it or not lol
Yay! new pins online...
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/Picture1.png)
Love the Belle Romance locket and Jasmin and Rajah.
Can't wait for the Chrismas bauble one too, its only £5!
Cant believe we are getting a Rajah Pin, thats so cool!
I presume the "Romance Lockets" will be another £7 series as on the description it says "Open the hinged lid to reveal that classic princess Sleeping Beauty on a twinkling glitter background." so unless someone doesnt know their disney characters, there will be an Aurora one too.
I'm so glad they bought back the coming soon bit, "We have no intention of bringing it back" my left foot! next step PIN BAGS please! my one is fit to bursting!
@Clarebelle thanks for posting about new pins i'm not very good at checking the website as often as i should and i think the emails asking for the coming soon section to be brought bk many of us sent must of had an impact so who knows we may get even more next year in the way of additional items...bags would be great! :D
:D I so can't wait for that locket pin, it's absolutely beautiful! Like you say Clare, it will most likely be a series of pins, but it's a series I'd be happy to get. :P I'll probably be getting a few of the Christmas pin, and the only others I'm wanting are the Alien pin tomorrow and the Alice pin. I really like all 3 Core pins that are on the way, but they're not ones I'd spend money on. :) I'd keep them if I traded them off a Cast Lanyard though.
OMG I love the Belle pin, now just have to work out how to get to the Disney store to get it. I will be up on 5th Dec but hadn't got any plans to go to a store after that until late Feb but i must have that pin, i think another trip is required!. I wish i had a Disney store in my town but if that were to happen i may go bankrupt! Ro
Finally got my photos for you, firstly the pin my husbands colleague bought me back from Disney in Hong Kong:

The pins i traded for that i am keeping:

I love my pins!
Ro
Does anyone have any information on the 2nd wave of Cast Lanyard pins?
@BellesWorld if you would like, I dont mind buying the pins on your behalf and trading/selling them to you for RRP. Same goes for anyone else
@Clarebelle no info as yet on them soz i'm guessing will b new year now
@bellesworld loving the pin you were given from Hong Kong
and to second clares offer i can also get pins fairly easily as long as still in stock as there at least 3times a week so don't anyone panic about missing out on pins 2much! :D
Wow I love the upcoming pins, and I definately hope the romance lockets are a series the bell eone is beautiful! Can't wait they all look great! :D
Thanks ClareBelle and DorsetCandy, hopefully someone i know will be going but if not thats a really kind offer.
still no upcoming pins I will want to get for my own collection but will probably pick up one of each when Im back for trading sake.
Does anyone want me to pick up any extra pins 2mo from the Disney Store for trading and such like?
Hey Ro, I can also pick up pins for you from the disney store if needed to :) as one is in walking distance and the other a quick bus journey so if ever you need any let me know as well hehe.
I cant wait to see the next releases as for now there isnt any upcoming ones I really want, I will probably get one of the belle mirrors for trading in DLP as well as the alien and a few others.
Also as I pointed out on facebook, the description for the Belle pin says the pin opens up to reveal a sleeping Beauty not Belle lol so could either be a mis-interpretation of the character (how that would happen I dont know) or it is in fact one of a set :P

I'm glad I wasnt the only one who noticed that, it really bugged me, even the person on pinpics who has listed it still put it was sleeping beauty... erm no its not!
hahaha you would think anyone collecting pins would be able to recognise sleeping beauty from Belle as for one there hair colours are different hahaha but just can show it will be pne of a set I would say.
Im hoping we get word of the next CM lanyard pins soon as I got told a month ago what they sort of where but they still not ready dont think anyway.
Do you ever notice when people listing items on ebay do that...sometimes parents listing a childs doll will call it snow white when it's actually mulan.. I always feel like emailing and correcting them :P
Its really sad - but it does bug me
I know its annoying but doesnt bug me that much lol
Oh it annoys me too, it's likethey think all Disney princesses are interchangeable. You would think if you were selling something you would at least try to list ir properly. The only good thing with the Belle locket is it probably means it is part of a set, i wouldn't be surprised if Sleeping beauty came out next. Ro
Got the following at the Disney store yesterday. Monsters Inc LE i thought had sold out, the others i traded for was really happy with the cast lanyard Mickey that my husband spotted as i thought they didn't have any left.
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC02671.jpg)
Also i am going to London again next Saturday does anyone who goes to the London store know how many people trade there? Are there likely to be different pins next week?
Ro
@Ro that's nice lot of pins for one visit..my store still has cm mickeys aand Monsters inc if ever u want anything always worth asking on here if anyone could still get them as stores that don't get as many traders sumtimes have pins for longer :)
yeah as sam said, best asking on here first as I have 3 disney stores within 1 hour travelling time so I can always get to them to check on pins as I found the CM stitch pin aswell as the goofy and mickey (red shirt) from my oldham store and that was only about a month ago lol they also had the donald 75th anniversary pin (last one there) which was sold out at other stores near me.
It just depends on who trades in the area I think as like I said I was able to find those ones and the CM pins were old by the time I got them. and Ro you know that as you got the goofy cm pin from me if I remember rightly :P
just seen this on pin pics..next disney store uk cast lanyard pin...
Pin 74480: Disney Store Europe - Cast Member - Expedition 2009
it doesn't have a picture or release date except 2009 so it will be soon!...heres the description:
This pin features Merlin and Archimedes from Disney's The Sword and The Stone. A round sparkle pin with Merlin's face at the bottom of the pin with his hands either side of the Logo "Expedition 2009" (3D). Archimedes is above him.
The pin was awarded to Cast Members as Store winner's throughout the UK for answering "All things Disney" questions.
Back-Stamp reads:
Expedition 2009 Logo
Cast Exclusive
Disney Store Exclusive Logo
LE200
(C)Disney
China
slightly nervous that they are LE of 200. Wish it was a different character but still nice to see another cast pin, its been too long! :D/ :D/ :D/
My manager has that pin already, not sure if there is any way for normal cast members like me to get it :cry:
Quote from: "StitchOhana"My manager has that pin already, not sure if there is any way for normal cast members like me to get it :cry:

ah rite it must not be for guests then :( its been so long since the other cast lanyard pins came out.
o.o Disney Store staff actually aren't allowed to trade/sell any award pins they recieve. Apparently they can get fired if they're caught doing that! Which is why you hardly ever see UK Cast Member pins online. :P It's a shame, because I really want this pin!
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cg ... &pin=69691 (http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=4717&pin=69691)
same here, I want that pin as well Lindsay, only down to the fact it has stitch on it otherwise I wouldnt be that fussed to get it lol but as I want ALL UK stitch pins then I kinda need that one :P
thats a beautiful pin!!
That's such a nice pin. When is it available to be won? I asked management today but they haven't heard of it yet.
There's not really any info on PinPics. :lol: I think the only person who knows anything about it is the person who listed it, and I haven't got round to e-mailing her yet.

Ive had a look at the listing to and at first I thought it was a CM trader pin but sadly it is not lol silly me haha
Well this is somewhat disappointing. The new pins got released on the website today, so the Coming Soon section got updated. :( The only LE pin coming up now is the Belle pin. There's no other LEs listed as coming soon, just the Belle pin and then 4 Core pins.

Yeah I noticed that and another core pin of winnie the pooh and gang, very similar to one released a while back. I can't afford to buy the alice pin till about wednesday next week so I am hoping it doesn't sell out too quickly.
thats ashame no new pins coming out that I want and kinda hoping there gonna be a few more LEs other than the belle one as is odd to just get one.
Hi All,
So another trip to London and more trades in the two shops. I traded for the following, i alreday ahve the UP pin but as it was on the lanyard i figured i could always trade it, also not sure whether to keep dory or trade.
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC02674-1.jpg)
Also bought the following:
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC02673.jpg)
Apparently a man had been in earlier and wanted to buy 6 Christmas bauble pins - he was distraught when told he could only have 2!
Ro
the bauble pin actually looks much nicer than I thought it would!:)
Back from Norwich with our new pins :)
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/DSCF0004.jpg)
Got the last bauble pin in Norwich :shock: couldnt believe it!
although now we know ...
QuoteApparently a man had been in earlier and wanted to buy 6 Christmas bauble pins - he was distraught when told he could only have 2!
:wink:
@Aveen, I actually liked it before, but having seen it, I dont think it is as nice as the photos, it looks almost like a scrapper :? but we need it for our collection :roll: [/color]
wow really? I havent actually seen it in real life yet, I am probably gona order it online on wednesday ( a new credit card month) I am just hoping they aren't all sold out by then :roll: same with Alice.
I will let you know what I think when I see it in real life though. I love the lil core minnie pin too hehe!
I'm kind of the opposite. I think it is even more beautiful in real life.
I get what Clare means about the Xmas pins looking like scrappers. On Mickey and Minnie themselves the paint is like "sunk in", if that makes any sense. Here's a close-up of it.
(//http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/GaiaSigs/Disney/XmasPin.jpg)
The Alice pin is just beautiful. After the Alice pin featuring Cheshire, this is probably my fave UK pin so far.
(//http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/GaiaSigs/Disney/Alice.jpg)
ah yeah it does look abit like a sedesma/pro pin or something a bit :?
the alice one is great:)
I got 2, but really only for trading. Maybe not with other people, but at least with the pin board at DLRP. If not, then they can always be sold at some point. :) The great thing about pins is that you'll never ever be stuck with one you don't want anymore.

Very true! They are so collectable you will always be able to make money from them usually if you want to sell:)
:P Yup! Even if you don't make much profit, it's not like you would need to sell any pin at a loss.
I really like the sunken paint look of the bauble pin, seems to make it feel a little more vintage.
Quote from: "Barnsey313"I really like the sunken paint look of the bauble pin, seems to make it feel a little more vintage.
I did think that as well, I think its from one of the mickey shorts isnt it? tbh I didnt know wheter it was just that one that was like it or not, being the last one in the shop
got another CM pin this afternoon the Donald square pin :) looks like the bauble pin sold out in the oldham store as it wasnt on the board, wouldnt of expected that if Im honest.
Hi Every1
I think the Xmas pin kind of cool as Barnsey said it's vintage looking...Exeter store sold out on Sat but i did manage to order 2online yest so me and my fella have them for trading as well as our collection! :D
I love the Christmas bauble and managed top get one on Saturday, by the sounds of it, this one will sell out very quickly so i was lucky to be there the day it came out which is unusual for me!
I think the christmas pin has sold out online because it's no longer available. I didn't get one (don't know if my local store will still have it- probably not with the way christmas crowds are) but I don't mind really as I wasn't that fussed on it :P
Our store has loads left, but people aren't really into pins around here!
Im with you Aveen on the xmas pin, not that fussed with it myself and I was considering buying it to trade but I dont want to waste £5 lol
Saying that I was looking at the upcoming pins and thought I would get Jasmine and Rajah pin to just trade and then noticed that pin is £5...so that means most of the core pins being released for the next two pin releases are £5 and the mickey pin is most likely £3 which for me is a tad strange to release mainly all £5 core pins and no LE pins...
and the core pins are not that good in the first place, I had a look on pinpics and I noticed this would be our 3rd winnie the pooh group pin, our second FAB 5 pin, yet another mickey standing there...only new concept pin is the Jasmine/Rajah which is a nice pin just not for me..
I really hope for the next release they do some new characters and a few LE's as would be nice to get some pins that only we have that other people will go ape for trading :mrgreen:
Ok guys, I said I would take pictures, only a few though as the CM was giving me evils for taking photos lol

and those four are basically just the entrance (I shall get the others another time) Hope you like to look at the Oldham store hehe
thats really cool Danny! is Oldham one of the very original stores then?
x
I think it is one the original as its been there at least 10 years lol and its always been like that.
awww loving the phots of the Oldham store, remind me of our lovley old store in Liverpool. I mean don't get me wrong I love the shiney new store but its just not got the same soul as the other one did. Don't think that I've ever been there, in fact I don't think that I've ever been to Oldham in general.
@Danny loving the pics of Oldham store mine is small new concept one nothing like the old style which i love....but just having Disney near is Gr8 and really want to visit Cardiff in the new year as it is meant to be gorgeous!
hey got a few more pictures today as I went in to get the Mittens plush for my better half for his bday and they didnt have it :x said they wouldnt have it in for weeks due to them getting in stock for the sale which Im kinda miffed about, as the Manchester store doesnt have it so Im really hoping the trafford centre store has one in when I go on saturday.

Ducktales!!!
Love the Cinderella 60th anniversary pin too...
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/Picture14.png)
£5 :shock:
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/Picture15.png)
The UK have the best pins by far
OMG Ducktales! :D Do want that pin! Also, £5 for that beautiful Cindy pin is amazing! Can't wait to find out what it's LE of. And another OMG, that Ariel pin is so stunning. I like it even more than the Belle pin. :( I still don't know whether or not to collect that series! I'll decide when I see the Belle pin in person tomorrow, and base it on what it looks like and how many it's LE of.
Hey guys, a bit off topic, but wondering if any of you can help? I just came back from DLRP, managed to get 6 of the hommage walt disney pins. Have also managed to buy a further three from ebay today, but can't find any images of the final three, looked on pins pics but they don't even have all the ones I have on there.
I've got: seven dwarfs, disney cruise line, steamboat willie, silly symphony, mouseketeers, down south (breer rabbit), the castle, the band concert, disney publishing.
Does anyone know what the final 3 pins look like, what the names are etc? Really can't find any images of them searching under hommage a walt disney, or tribute walt. Any hints as to their names or images of them really would be appreciated! Thanks.
I am soo happy there is a ducktales pin!! I loved ducktales as a child, I was addicted to it.."ducktales a woo hoo"...
see the TV....(im the one on the right wearing a mickey mouse jumper hehe

:D :D :D
Lornahhg - perhaps the haven't been released yet?
Aveen...the set was released in 2008 apparently, that's what it says on the back.
It's the set you've been looking for, an example of one of them is: Pin 62891: DLRP - Hommage à Walt Disney - Silly Symphony, there's only 9 of them on pin pics and I know it's one of 12...really bugging me.
cool a ducktales pin I might get that one since Ive always loved Ducktales :D/
the Cinderella one I will pick up to trade with it being £5 and Im not picking up the Mirror pins lol but depend on the LE if its low then maybe to trade.

Yeah I know, maybe they didnt release 12 in the end for some reason..its weird.
I have most of them appart from the castle one and the concert band one I think.
I dont remember seeing any other ones in DLRP when I was there in Sep.
:P I wonder who came up with the idea of doing a Duck Tales pin. Kudos to them!
it would be awesome if someone at disney saw my list of characters wouldnt it XD as I put Jasmine and Rajah and ducktales on my list and we are getting them hahaha
I doubt it but could be :P
Yey!!! Ducktales is brilliant and a pin of it is even better! If we start seeing more and more stitch pins Danny, then you'll know someone wants to keep you happy!!!
Did anyone buy the new releases? if so I would love to see a real life photo of them. I hope to get them tomorrow maybe.
Quote from: "Aveen2008"Did anyone buy the new releases? if so I would love to see a real life photo of them. I hope to get them tomorrow maybe.
me thinking the same lol as i might invest in the belle mirror maybe
I might get the fab 5 one as im not interested in the rest (cause im a guy!). Anyone invested in the le lion king mug btw? I think its cool but I dont know if its worth the £10 asking price.
dont have to be a girl to want the other pins lol I just dont collect them per say, I would get them for trading purposed only but they do look great.
I might get a belle pin just to trade, but it does look cool. If only the disney store made more moving pins
Hi Everyone
(//http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx95/dorsetcandy/016.jpg)
sharing my Xmas pressie from Disney with you all!x
WOW!! that is quite awesome!! Im jealous even though it doesnt have stitch on it Id still have it :P your one lucky person!
Thats a great pressie sam, have you had anything else as brilliant as that from disney?
:D How lovely! :( All I got was a stupid card when I worked there in 2005.
:) Please get them listed on PinPics Sam!
awww poor you lindsay *hugs* bet that was that managers doing :P
and yes please do put them on pinpics :)
:) Oh BTW, I traded a really cute Tink pin off the lanyard today. :P Apparently it was one of Elaine's daughters who put it on there.
Hi All
I'm feeling poorly at mo :cry: so the pin and dec were a lovely surprise and motivator yest..it is now on pinpics!
@Lindsay i'm pretty sure all cms who work over xmas get these sets :shock: sure u should of!
A bit off topic but did any1 else manage to get free tickets to see princess and frog on 3rd Jan?u need copy of 2days mail and to go to www.seefilmfirst.co.uk (http://www.seefilmfirst.co.uk) and put in code 558324...i'm so looking 4ward to a new year treat esp as it is free :D
I'm kind of annoyed at my "local" disney store :evil: ! After spending hours helping my sister and looking after my niece and nephew today in Belfast I was exhausted. It was 5:30pm before we left their house. I decided even though I was exhausted I would ring to see what time the disney store closed at. It closed at 6pm so I got dad to rush down to the store and got in the door at about 5:50pm, only to be told they didn't have the pins which were released yesterday out to buy and I was told that they were most likely still amongst their delivery they got yesterday.
Both staff members were nice about it, they said they normally only get about 6 crates in each delivery but have about 18 because of christmas and that they haven't been through it all. I can understand this but when an item is meant to be out on a certain date its very frustrating to go the day later to find its still not there and I wouldn't mind only this has happened many times before with the pins :evil: :cry: :roll: .
I was told to ring during the week and they wud put them by for me but I live an hour away and wont be back down anyway. :roll:
As I said I wouldn't be as annoyed if it hadnt happened so many times with the pins and I am at the stage now where I just feel like ordering them all online from now on because the effort to go to the store and be disappointed isnt really worth it. :(
Ive not had experiences like that but I kind of hate the CMs in the oldham store they seem soo arrogant towards me when I go in and trade pins and try to tell me whats what which for me I turn round and tell them no, luckily one of my friends works there and so I try and see if he is in but I keep missing him lol
There is one woman I cant stand (lindsay THAT one) as Ive traded pins with her twice and she treated me like a dumb person who didnt know who characters where and telling me and lindsay what pins where which (just cause there a CM doesnt mean she know more, and to think she will get that pin sam posted :twisted: :evil: )
And the other time she actually said no to a trade so I called her a female dog and walked off as I was quite annoyed, I think Im lucky she is thick and dont remember me :-"
But what ticks me off is I made a joke that the winnie the pooh slippers I got my mum for xmas where for myself and she looked me up and down and said we dont judge here but she well judged me I almost said you being homophobic (hahaha yes lindsay I would of kicked off on that remark) but I bit my tongue as I had not seen the lanyard yet hahahaha
But Aveen that is quite bad on there part and they should of gone into the back and look for it as the boxes would of been clearly labelled so surprised they didnt look for it as Ive made the disney store in Oldham go get there little bag from the back out to show me a few times, why they dont put those pins on the lanyard I dont know since they are for trading.

I know the girl whos in charge of pin trading in my store but shes only in 1 day a week and I dont like complaining to her as shes really nice, plus I am only fighting the cause for myself really hehe. She's a member of this board actually.
I know what you mean about cast members thinking they know more. I went to buy the £3 lion king LE pin and because it didn't have a back on it they tried to talk me down and say it was definately £7. They were condesending about it. I have had some argue that pins weren't released etc I have been told in the past that they weren't able to take out the lanyard to trade as they only traded on saturdays, then would go the next week and be told, they could only take it out at certain times and then go the following week and have no problem.. it drove me nuts for a while. The staff don't really get pin trading.
EXACTLY!! =D>
I think they should employ a member of staff that actually collects pins and they have the lanyard round there next all day they are working so that they know what to look for, Im guessing this is what they do in the parks have some trained to know what the pins are and know that they have to say yes and trade for what ever the trader offers. I just feel with the oldham store with the new staff temps its like yeah I got a job so the hell with it!
The manchester store has so many nice CM's and they get qutie involved with the pin trading days they hosted before xmas and all the CM's would pop over and have a chat but the oldham store its completley the opposite the CM's arnt friendly at all and talk down to you when it comes to pins. I dont argue with them there as this woman looks like she could take me as she looked rough hahaha
hehe!!
I hate when non friendly people work for disney! Of all people to work for you shouldn't take a job with a company who is known for their friendly, happy approach!
Indeed!!!
Ive just had a cunning plan as my friend works at the store but doesnt collect pins so Im going to see if I can get his xmas pin off him next time I see him hehehe
Quote from: "Stitch2814"Indeed!!!

update on that plan...FAILED!! as he didnt get one of the sets :( such a bummer... must only be for temps only then as a thankyou for helping out over christmas
also a downer, I said if and when he leaves if he would sell the ones on his nametag..damn him being smart lol and thought he would get more money on ebay :evil: the one CM that thinks has to be mt friend hahaha
:) I'm gonna ask in the Manchester store tomorrow if any of them recieved the gift pins.
@ Sam - There was no pin trading back when I worked at the Disney Store in 2005, so there will have been no gift pins back then. :P Gutted.
hahaha I think it is nice for the temps to get the pins but I think it is a kind of sad that they will just put them aside and not want them or sell them which they aint supposed to do.
As I know not everyone working there will want to keep them so they should give them to only CMs who collect pins etc
We should be able to get that pin its sooo lovely, I mean they could surely put a few aside in each store for people who they know are regular traders as a thank you for their continued custom throughout the year. I mean without us then pin trading would of fell flat out!!!
If there are cm's who don't want them then we should all get second picks...i'm allowed to dream. And I know they're not allowed to sell those pins but I've seen ones from Florida on ebay a few times. In fact a while ago I won the most amazing lot of all cm exclusive pins, orientation pin from mgm, pin trading trations training pin, annual pin for cm's for a few different years it was amazing!!!
I went into the disney store today and the mean woman wasnt on (YAY) so I had a close look at the belle pin and the jasmine/rajah pin.
The Jasmine/Rajah pin is bigger than I thought and I can say it is worth £5 but I hope we get some £3 pins soon lol
And the Belle pin I ended up buying as a trader for when I go to the DLP in April so I will be buying the other pins to co-inside with the belle pin and take the full set (if complete by then) to DLP with me to trade.
Hiya
All cms at my store got the Xmas pressies and lots of us appreciated them :D there are actually 4other cms attending the pin meet in Feb from my store and altho we sometimes are too busy instore to have the time we would like to spend chatting with pin traders an effort is always made/also there r times when lanyard isn't worn just because it is very heavy to wear(even i hung it behind cash and wrap other day as was getting in the way when doing gift boxing)
Had 2very nice cpls come in recently one who collects dvc pins and one who collects mainly dlrp pins was just a shame it was Sat and busy there are cms who are interested in pins i may not be there much longer but there are now 4/5 other cms who buy pins :)
I might have to give the meet a no go Im afraid sam, as I might be going to Ireland to see other half for bday/anniversary and wouldnt be able to to make both Im afraid :( feel well bad now as I would of come down but it is a bit expensive on the train.
It was too busy in the store today so I didn't get to ask about the gift pins. :) Would be nice to find out what each CM is doing with theirs.
Quote from: "Masamune"It was too busy in the store today so I didn't get to ask about the gift pins. :) Would be nice to find out what each CM is doing with theirs.
There is a girl there who is leaving remember Lindsay, her name begins with A..the girl who has stitch on her nametag, so she said she would be selling hers when she leaves as she got to much uni work to do so IF she got what Sam got then might be able to get it off her but she knows her prices..
Why is it when they dont collect something they know exaclty where to go to sell it and how much it can go for grrrr.
:) I would really love those gift pins. But yeah, we'll have to wait and see.
Woohoo, my fil got me the Belle locket and it is beautiful so glad to have it. I know they probably won't sell out that quickly but i have no plans to go to a Disney store until Feb so best be on the safe side.
Ro
awww bet you were well happy with the Belle pin and will look very nice with all your other belle pins :)
Read my Pin-view of the pin here - http://dptuk.blogspot.com/ (http://dptuk.blogspot.com/)

Awwwh thanks Aveen, I alway try to get the best shot I can.. :mrgreen:
:D Long time no see Javey.
:P Your pin pictures sometimes make the pins look better than they actually are.
I went into my Disney store today to buy the belle locket pin, jasmine and rajah and the fab 5 one. I noticed beside the belle locket pin was another one with a different front and I thought omg they are selling the little mermaid one earlier.. I was even more shocked when she handed me it to look at and it was this.......
(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/Pins/pins.jpg)
The Aurora pin!!!! :o :o :o :D/ :D/ :D/ :D/
is this a surprise release or is my store selling it too soon!!! I didnt want to say incase they didnt then sell it to me!!
I would have bought extra but trying hard to save money!
Wow amazing find Aveen, as afr as i have heard your store must have just got lucky and been sent a wrong batch, i reckon Aurora will come after Ariel.
Ro
Hiya Aveen
We had the Aurora locket instore too i think they have just missed it from website as i made them dbl check release date and it definately said 2nd Jan..i've put a post on ukdpt on Facebook to try and let anyone who is collecting the series know it is out as i was shocked too!
Quote from: "Masamune" :D Long time no see Javey.
:P Your pin pictures sometimes make the pins look better than they actually are.
Sure is, thanks for the reminder... :lol:
I'm hoping to be on a lot more by the end of January.. :wink:
As for the pins, it must be my marketing contract with Disney Pin Trading, to make them look even more appealing so more people buy them.. :mrgreen: :---)

ah cool!! :D silly billys not putting it on the site! I didnt want to ask because i didnt want them to take it bac of me :P I have already went in loads of times on actual release days and not been able to get the pins released that day because they hadnt unloaded their deliveries so I thought - oh well I deserve it hehehe!! I have to say I love that series!
Oh wow, I really hope the Manchester store is selling it on Monday. :( Since it's not on the website, I'm a bit wary that having it on sale may be a mistake, which means each store could become wise to it. Ah well, will have to wait and see.

its really odd, you would think they would have released it next if they already had it sitting waiting to go! I really thought it was the ariel pin, I was so surprised to open it and see Aurora! :o
oooh aurora pin nice one :) any chance of a picture of the front of it aveen??

oooo that sure is a nice one not seen one like that before thats for sure
cheers Aveen.
Well looks like the Oldham store got the Aurora pin so I got it to review :) and then is up for trading hehehe but lindsay I spoke to Dan and the Manchester store didnt get it in :( BUT they did get the Ariel pin for release on Saturday :) I asked him to sell it me but he said no lol
Any chance you can pick up 2 of the Aurora pins for me and my mum next time you're in the Oldham store Danny? :( Really don't want to miss out on this pin, as Aurora is my fave Princess.
I can try to but I aint got no money at the moment but I will have soon I think lol Also Lindsay I was speaking to Dan (I know I found our hidden danny LOL) and he said the pin trading will be after the sale he thinks :) and I told him Im moving and he said there should be at least one before I go so fingers crossed.
I'll ask myself tomorrow, just incase Dan was mistaken. Apparently yesterday was the official release date, so there's no reason why Manchester shouldn't have them. I'll let you know if I pick them up.
ok then but like I said I was told they didnt get any but fingers crossed for you lindsay :) as I it is a very very nice pin and I just reviewed it on my blog so everyone go read it hahaha.
:) Looks like Manchester had the Aurora pins all along. They managed to find them today, so I bought 2. Gosh it's so beautiful! Probably my 2nd fave UK Disney Store pin after the Alice/Cheshire one.

Glad they had it for you Lindsay, and it is a very nice pin and nicely done.
Hey guys,
Sorry for the double post but new pin online.
The pin has been added already to pinpics #75229 (by myself lol)
Its a Lady and the Tramp pin and it costs £9.
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/411096543010.jpg)
there you go :)
EDIT********
Pin is not available to buy as no release date has been given and size is unknown.
I only know this as Ive been pointed out by 2 people now that is isnt available as no stock on the country and How I was to know that I do not know when it says ADD TO BASKET online....
I wont be adding anymore pin on pinpics from now on, I will leave it to the professionals as I always see wyattsmith who seems to correct any UK pin with anny wrong information.
:o What a lovely pin! :P Sorry Danny, but I spotted the "This item is not available" banner straight away, so if they hadn't of let you know then I would have. Wyattsmith is in charge of the Disney Store Europe pin group, so you can't exactly blame her for wanting to have all the right info. :) I'm sure she didn't mean to upset you or anything.
Whilst I agree that Im sure she didnt mean to upset anyone I think the capital letters are a bit extreme. I read it as if she was telling someone off...still cant believe that disney have put a pin on their website that is not available, anyone know why they didn't just put it on there coming soon page.
Can't wait for the pin to be released! Did something happen regarding that pin on another site? :?

It is part of their "Valentines Range sneak peak"
Is there not a Princess and the fog one yet? :(

Well they changed the page then as when I found it on there yesterday morning it was able to be added to your basket. And how Im to know who she is beyond me.
Whilst I can see everyone wanting the correct information no need to corect people the way she does, I saw she corrected Sam on the 2009 Xmas CM pin aswell.
The price is £9 for the lady and the tramp pin :shock: !! Is it just me or are they all generally going up in price :roll: ?! The pin must be of a low LE or something. I wonder why they feel that the only romantic and valentines day appropriate characters seem to be lady and the tramp as the one released last valentines was of them :? , and of course the muppets one which obvsiously didnt sell well since its still on the site!
I love Lady and the Tramp so I am happy about the pin but the price of it is annoying.
The price is too much and I think it has to be Low LE as well but we will have to wait and see wont we, if its more 700+ then the price is too high.
might be a jumbo :?:
:o That would be nice. But still, I don't think I'll be buying it.
Hmm it's not really my cup of tea. I definitely wouldn't pay that much for it.
I agree this is becoming a bit of a trend with disney, they introduce something then slowly put there prices up. But as usual we will be buying it, has anyone found a confirmed release date yet?
still no date yet I dont think. And I think it has become a bit costly for us in the UK as now our pins are minimum of £5 instead of £3 which is a big difference in terms of what we want to buy and what we do as some of use buy some to trade but with the prices going up then we cant do that.
Rescue Rangers!!!!

Awsomeness!
and another Tink pin :roll:
But wheres a Princess and the Frog pin??
Omg the UK pins are getting better and better don't think i will be cutting down as much as i thought on spending money on pins :roll:
Lady and Tramp pin may be an online exclusive,it would make sense as its priced at £9
@claire...i want princess and frog pin too saw the film last weekend and loved it and so did the kids and i'm trying to get pins from Disney films we see as a family(its a good xcuse 4 xpanding my collections) :D
Chip, chip, chip and dale, rescue rangers!!! I have every episode of that at home and i so want that pin!!! I cant wait till it hits my store!!
Really pleased with the rescue ranger pin and still very happy with the ducktales one!
Can't believe its another Tinkerbell core pin! :roll: :roll: :roll:
I agree with clare it would be great to have a princess and the frog pin!
Aveen xxx
Not to fussed about the rescue rangers pin if Im honest.
And I agree yet another Tink pin and Im a bit disappointed that there are no core pins out on the 22nd January :(
And I agree a princess and the frog pin would be awesome for the 5th Feb seeing as the film is released on the 8th Feb (I think)
i was so excited about the ducktales pin,but am even happier now ive seen the rescue rangers ive always wanted a pin of them and this one looks awsome =D> .would love a pin of launchpad from ducktales.i dread to think how much they will cost with the prices creepin up :evil: .i want more core pins
I want to see new pins of characters we have not had yet as Im tired of mickey, minnie, winnie the pooh, tinkerbell, and the princess' as they must think thats all we want. And there are soooo many other characters they could do like NBC, Pochahontas, Resuers, UP, Lion King, some Villains..you get the idea lol
Can't believe there's yet another Tink pin. :D Love the Rescue Rangers pin though.
Really like the Rescue Rangers pin, it's also making me awnt the Duck Tales pin more for some raeson as i kind of see them as a pair. Wish they were £5 instead of £7 although at least i get my sahreholders discount!
Ro
I will be getting them to review and then they go to trade so there an investment into future trades for me since I dont buy anything else and that Im not going on holiday they will keep me happy till I can trade them for Stitch or UP pins :)
Also I got the Ariel Pin this afternoon, is mine the only one that has one spike (whatever you call it) on the back as the other 2 Mirror/locket pins have to spikes for two mickey heads but the Ariel Pin only has one which is strange to me..
we noticed that they only have one post as well...most strange...still a nice pin though
haha so Im not the one thinking it is strange then, phew :)
I also picked up the Winnie the pooh pin that came out today as well and Im currently writing my blog post, not as insightful as my others though lol but we shall see what people think of it.
Just to start up some coversation in here again I was thinking, Since we are getting a Ducktale and now a Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers pin, could this mean we could see a Talespin pin??? I for one would love it if we did as would round of three of the disney cartoons I watched when I was a kid.
As well as I would like to see more characters like Launchpad, Mrs Beakley, Webbigail, Magica, the beagle boys, and Bubba (my fave) and cant leave out Gyro and Flintheart Glomgold...to name a few but mainly all the ones lol
Well in that case why not Darkwing Duck and Marsupilami .....Although I think no one would know who they where. Starting to show my age me thinks.
I believe though that the UK pins should not just be the same old 10 or so characters, especially the limited edition pins If they had some of the real different characters then it would make our pins even more special.
Just noticed the lady and the tramp pin is no longer on the website
41 days till DLRP here we come.
i would also love a tailspin pin also a darkwing duck would be fab too.would be great to do a series of old cartoon pins.would be great to get a gummi bears pin.dont think any have ever been done.i agree that they should do more characters,it gets boring havin the same over and over.they havent even done core pins of donald,goofy,pluto and chip and dale
omg I forgot about Gummi Bears, Id soo love a Tummi Gummi pin hehehe
Where has the lady and the tramp pin gone? it's disappeared from the website!! :shock: :? :?:

Jasmine and Raja (quite a large one this one for a Core Pin).. :wink:
(//http://images51.fotki.com/v423/photos/1/1220156/5417448/JasmineandRaja-vi.jpg)
Loving the new pins, only prob is i won't be in a store until mid feb, i'm sure there will still be some around by then though given the length the first 8 were around for.
Ro
Hey guys, I couldn't get the new cast member pins today!! :( They are supposedly not in my store until this week!
On a possitive note, congrats in making a perminent cast member Sam, it makes me want to become a cast member as I spent 3 hours standing talking to the cast members about Disney. Hehe!!!
Yeah, the Disney Store in the MetroCentre had the new Cast Member Pins in last night, I really like them. I wouldn't care but my local Disney Store is usually the last to get anything.. :o :mrgreen:
And the hunt begins lol
I hit all 3 stores around me today and just got back. I got the Minnie one from the manchester store which is having one out per day (so Im going back tomorrow) lol the oldham store is getting them in this week and the Trafford centre store should of had them but would not check and would not trade becuase they were not on there lanyards..which I then hated that cast member grrrrr
On the plus side of my search I got the 3 of the other cast member pins, the 2 mickey as a CM (blue ones) and the Stitch Square pin and the Donald with boat UK pin LE 1000 so not a bad days trading I wouldnt think as I found the trafford centre to have 3 lanyards of pins so Im searching the stores again tomorrow hehehe
I will take pics later of what I got as I think you need the CM pins Ro, or you did do so let me know.
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/002-34.jpg)
I just came to look and realised I had no email notifications of any of the last two pages of replies :(
lovelovelove the new name badge pins - dont know if I will ever get the chance of any :( but hopefuly will in time.
@Sam - congrats again on job you know how pleased I am for you hun xxx
Well my search for the new pins has begun - went to Liverpool before they apparently had them but they're gone already...will try again next wk, used to work around the corner from there (literally like 3 doors down) so popped in everyday and worn them down for the last lot...may go to Manc tomorrow not decided yet.
I've broken my elbow that is why I've not been on here much...infact I'm being v.naughty I've been told not to type!!!
but had to share my excitiment with a new pin hunt!!!
I'm also going to FL in June - do you all think they'd do well as traders???
Manchester will only have 1 out per day as they only got a 6 week supply so you better be quick if you go eager_eyes. I agree with 1 per day that way it stops one person grabbing all the ones for other traders as no fun in the search for them then, I mean I had a blast going to three stores today lol in search for them :P
I agree about the being fair and giving everyone a chance, I mean they must of just had them all out in Lpool. I went there nearly every day for about a month before I got my full sets of the last lots and other people were getting them in the meantime I kept on missing Donald, I asked but the rules were they couldn't keep him for me, which I can respect.
I was meant to be going to London at the end of the wk, not happening now with the elbow, but last time I went to Oxford St I got a complete set of gift boxes in one swoop!!! They've been put away for trading in FL in June :D Maybe I'll go to somewhere else tomorrow, I wish there was a Disney Store in Warrington, so much closer...
I heard a guy ask the bus driver about buses to warrington and since I has the phone numbers for all disney stores that I got given off ther girl in the Oldham store I checked and thought oor warrington as another store could be done in one day lol but sadly not lol
It is a bit extreme when the cast members dont know that you can only trade twice per day in any store as that only gives those traders who scalp all the new pins for themselves a chance to get them before anyone else has a chance.
I know what you mean, I think Disney need some kind of formal and proper pin trading training for all cm's before they can wear a lanyard on stage..
I think there should definately be a store in Warrington, I could run it! (ha I'm allowed to dream!!)
Hahaha Im moving to Ireland where there is no store only in Belfast :( too far away from me so I wish they would open one up in dublin and I could go and work there...I can dream as well lol as its a good idea :P
I think the Manchester store is lucky as quite a few are traders themselves so know the rules so to speak.
:o Guess it's every man (and woman) for himself them tomorrow. I'll be popping into the Manchester store on my lunch.
hahaha Im hoping to get there early lol but if its the minnie one again then I wont be trading it lol
Well luck out for me I'll be the one in a sling!!! Might then go to Druckers 4 cake just love it in there...
well if your going to manchester maybe then I can meet up and say Hi to a fellow trader :) what you think?
Yeah sure, I'd like that, but I'm not sure if I'm going or not, I'm not risking my elbow on public transport so depends if I can get a lift from someone going that way to nearby, have a friend who works there most wkends so chances are good.
argh yeah true, I shall be going about 11am so Im sending you a pm now just in case you go :) I will be heading to trafford centre as well tomorrow or there 3 lanyards :)
do want these pins the hunt sounds just as exciting as the owning!
Lol, no point in me going in then if Danny's going to claim 2 in a row.
hahaha lindsay you get all week to go in I cant afford to go every day but Im got the oldham store to get mine from lol so manchester store is all yours from monday-friday then as you said it, every person for themselves at the weekend :)
The woman said your mum got one of the first cm pins off the lanyard unless I heard her wrongly but I swear she said lindsay mum :P
She sure did. ;) And you know how me and my mum are about pins. Mum can get her boyfriend to take her to other stores, but I only have the Manchester store. And I'm working all those days, so it's not like I'd have much of a chance anyway as lunches tend to fall at around 1pm-2pm.
We'll just see how it goes though.
hahaha and I have my mums bus ticket at weekends so thats why I am able to travel for free to all three stores lol if there for keeps then I can let you have first dibs on them lol as Im only trading them to trade to other people :P but I will be going tomorrow as Im in manchester anyway lol and until then I wont be there till the following saturday.
Didn't know you were wanting them for trading. I just assumed you wanted them for keeps, since you're so eager to go to each store and get as many as you can. Me and mum are wanting them for keeps.
I want my first set for keeps then maybe another set depending on how hard they are to come by for trades. I'm sure if I make it to a PTN in Fl I'll get some nicceee trades for them!
2 Little Tips I found for buying Pins when you want them>>
1. You could move to the North of England, since living in the North of England and I mean north, not Manchester. It works in my favour for once with the North South divide, less people to buy up here, so it's quite easy to obtain Pins in general, bear in mind not everyone has cottoned onto Pin Trading up here yet.. :mrgreen: It's quite funny when I hear Cast Members telling people about it as a brand new idea.. :lol:
2. For buying Pins in general, make sure you get pally with a Cast Member who works in your local Disney Store, you'll be well in. You'll never get the answer.."Oh I'm sorry they've all gone". Instead it's.. "I'll just get it", since it's hidden away waiting for you behind the counter.. :mrgreen:
Pause for thought.. :wink: :)
Nah Im not wanting them but I think I like the thrill of the chase to get them hehehe might as well as it will be the last time I get the chance to try and get these since Im moving to where no disney store is lol I will keep the Pluto one (i think there is one of him lol) for Michael as he like pluto but the other four then are traders as I can see people wanting them :)

Come to think of it, has anyone got any other tips of their own they would like to share.. :-k
3. you could go to the store at a silly early time as no one is prepared to be up, dressed and waiting outside their local store at 9am when they open.
I did this in Lpool once or twice, generally as I was starting work at 10 and walking past anyway, did get one or two no CM but nice pins in the process.
I say make the effort to go to stores out of your way i.e. the trafford centre...as busy store for visitors and traders and if your prepared to make the journey Im sure you will rewarded..
or another tip I have is make friends with a CM that doesnt collect pins and possibility of the chance to get the pins they get for working there lol cant say that has worked for me yet lol
well I had another fun time looking for these pins lol and I got the Pluto pin this afternoon and it is definatley 1 pin per day so if it been on the lanyard already and its gone then sadly you have to go without lol Ive decided to keep them as the last pins I will get from the stores :) so Im 2 out of 5 now hahaha
Here is an image of what I got today off the lanyards at the manchester arndale and trafford centre store...
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/002-35.jpg)
they are all nice pins Danny
loving the Eeyore cloud nap :) i bought that once off ebay and it never turned up :(
awww poor you emma :( Well that is the eeyore pin I said I traded in case you needed it lol so it yours if you want it??
the new cast member pins are really nice. I would want them for keeps too if I ever get them.
Aveen since your like the only irish trader I think you got more than a chance to get them than all of us lol
hey guys, had some luck at the oldham store today and now Im only missing Mickey CM pin :) I got three today as all 5 had been put on the lanyard as no one goes there to trade and since my mum was with me I got the spare Pluto pin. Which is for Lindsay so guys dont hate me just she asked first :)
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/003-23.jpg)
And Im going to the store again tomorrow to try and get mickey so I will pick up spares when and where I can for all those that have asked me to try and get them the pins.
They look sooooo cute I can't wait for my elbow to recover so that I can go on a proper search for these pins! I was going Liverpool for another look yesterday, but I just didn't feel up to it :cry: I doubt they'd have more of them anyway. I know I'll get my set sooner or later!!!
Well seeing as the Oldham store is putting out all 5 (well they did yesterday) I will be trying my best to help everyone out as I can lol I just have another friend round the corner from me Elaine, who will want them and trades at the Oldham store so I dont really want to take them all in case she doesnt get a set for herself lol BUT saying that she will be looking for her american friend so in a way I got to be quick lol
hey guys, I now have all 5 of the new CM pins thanks mainly to the Oldham store :) Pardon me for the quality of the image but I was going to the pub after words so I took the images after quite a few drinks so they came out a bit blurry :P
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/009-12.jpg)
Well done Danny, there can't be that many people who already have the full collection. It will be a nice momento for you when you move to Ireland.
Ro
I know and here is a much better image and this is how they will be displayed on my cork board when Im in Ireland.
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/003-24.jpg)
Just seen on Dizpins that the Lady and the Tramp pin is LE 200 and online exclusive only..
What you all think of that then?? As Id buy it purely to use it as leverage to get one of my holy grails other than that then not a chance.
I think I'll give it a miss i've got enough leverage in the form of 4 up grape soda pins sitting in my room just waiting for the right trading opporunities to come along. Along with the 3 Lion King pins that also lie in wait.
Holy (insert none disney appropriate word) you have 4 Grape Soda pins..I have sent you a PM regarding that lol as I could do with one of them..(fingers crossed you like what I offered haha)

do you know how much £ you could make on ebay for them!! One of mine made £40! :shock: nuts! lol
:) Our upcoming UK pins have been added to the Official Pin Trading website.

Now that I know the DuckTales and Rescue Rangers pins are in a "Disney on TV" series, I'm absolutely dying to know what the other two will be! If they ended up being Gummi Bears and Wuzzles, I'd be so insanely happy! I loved both the Gummi Bears and the Wuzzles as a child.
Now if we got a Gummi Bears pin I would just be sooo happy as a group shot would be awesome :) or a tailspin pin.
Bit surprised that the high edition size of the Cinderella pin as 1750, wasnt expecting the ducktales or the rescue rangers pin to be 750 (was expecting 1000)
i would so love a gummi bears group shot to,i had forgotten about wuzzles they would make a great pin,but would prefere a tailspin .Cant beleave that ducktales and rescue rangers are only 750 i hope i get them as i cant get to a store for a while
Love the nhew pins for 20th Feb, Mickey St Patricks Day and Goof Troop and shock horror i am actually going to be in store that day! Woo hoo
:( Gutted about that Goof Troop pin, it's horrible! I hated that show as a child.

Well when I went to get it on the day of release Liverpool had already sold out. I went to the trafford centre that night and bought two, one for keeps and one for trading. The following weekend I was in London and saw that they still had them left. I bought two more and my friend bought one then decided to randomily give me it, as they saw it as the start of a slippery slope into being a pin addict. I was meant to be going to Paris not long after that but it fell through, so then I considered listing one on ebay but decided against it on account that they'll probably be worth more as time goes by (hopefully). So now I'm planning my trip to Florida, and I'll be there for 3 weeks so odds of hitting a ptn are quite good. So I figured that if I made a post on somewhere like dizpins advertising that i'll be bringing them along to trade, I'd get some pretty decent offers in return. May consider keeping hold of one for Oct as I'm hoping to go Paris for my bday.
I'm not sure if its the best plan, but it seems like a good one to me :mrgreen:
Hehe cool!:) i'm a birthday baby too, what date are you? I am the 24th lol!
I am not a paticular fan of Goof Troop - never watched it but have got the Goofy Movie which i'm thinking is similar. Didn't have a particular want for Ducktales or Goof Troop until Rescue Rangers pin came out and i just think it is such a nice collection. Also mega pleased with Mickey St Patricks Day only being £5. Definately picking up a couple when i go so i have one to trade at DLRP in October. Better save up as i will be spending a lot in one of the Manchester stores on 20th Feb - just hope they haven't run out as i want Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, Mickey st Patricks Day x2 and Cinderella for trading. That's so far!
Ro
I agree with the goofy troop, I really don't like Goofy in general so I won't be buying that but i like the mickey st.paddys day pin!
Quote from: "Aveen2008"Hehe cool!:) i'm a birthday baby too, what date are you? I am the 24th lol!
Thats around the time I'm aiming to go! I'm hopefully going to make it for a halloween party. I'm just waiting to see if they do any good offers for half price hotels and waiting for the flights to be released. But Florida is my number one priortiy this year, star wars weekends, pins and pins and more pins cant wait :D
Well Im in need of a UP Grape Soda pin now as mine got thrown out with the recycling thanks to my brother and I cant afford to go to ebay and buy one so looks like my year jsut gets better, first not being able to go to DLRP and now no Grape Pin (insert crying noise) as no one will trade it so Im guessing my UP pin collection will now be incomplete :(
If anyone can help me out on this Id sooo appreciate it as Im desperate for the pin. As Im an UP collector.
:( Someone please help Danny out!
Quote from: "Masamune" :( Someone please help Danny out!
Thanks Lindsay :) I think I have lucked out on getting one as some trader on facebook said he got a spare and would trade me my CM name tag set..so he is looking for it and will let me know on Monday. so I really really have fingers crossed he finds it.
Looks like now Im in need of Mickey and Minnie Name Tag pin :P back on the search I go now. Shame really, I might ask the Manchester store if they will swap the spare pluto I have for a mickey or minnie tomorrow.
:) Fingers crossed then! That would be an awesome trade.

aw no way!!:( That sucks! why can't you go to DLP? could your brother not pay half at least for you to buy one of ebay?
oh just seen your newer post lol..thats good about the possible trade! :)
GOT ONE!!!!!
Mark Shirley off facebook is trading me his spare one for my set of CM pins so Im now on the look out for a mickey and minnie name tag pin lol Ironic how I got most from the Oldham disneystore and now I im in need of 2 bad times.
Danny, i can't believe your brother threw yours away i would be so angry with him! So glad you managed to swap for another, hopefully you will complete your name tag set again before your move.
Ro
I know I hope so to, Im off to manchester to see if they will swap my spare pluto name tag for a minnie/mickey (hope they will do seeing as they know what has happened) and Im going to try the trafford centre again today as well as tomorrow as Im going there to watch a preview of princess and the frog.
Fingers crossed for you. Lucky you getting to see Princess and the Frog early i can't wait to see it.
Ro

I like the pins. Wendy is out looking for the last of the namebadge pins we need (pluto).
Having just logged on for the first time in a couple of days and reading all the messages I cant beleive that someone through out a pin I would be absolutley mad! :evil:
also just looked at the new releases on the disney store website and what a surprise to see the lady and the tramp pin back on. Not
The St patrick day pin always trades so well, so will go really quickly once released.If its like last years it will only last a few days so if you want it get in early!
28 days till DLRP here we come! :D
I just got back in from manchester and trafford centre trip and I came back with another Donald CM pin grrr lol so I now have pluto and donald spare. Im going again tomorrow morning so will hope for not goofy on the trafford centre lanyard :P
great pins Javey!:) I have the Mickey and pluto ones! Is the mickey and minnie the one from the disney store lanyard set? I think it's really cute hehe!
Danny - is there any cast member pins left in england heehe!! :P
not in Oldham there isnt lol as I got two per day lol but in manchester there is lol probably more in Ireland hahaha. Here is the Ducktales pin I got today and its awesome! if it wasnt for trading with Donna Id keep it for myself.
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/008-12.jpg)
I shall be reviewing it later tonight.

Yeah they are Aveen, on the hunt for Donald now.. :mrgreen:
I have a spare Donald/pluto so if anyone has a spare mickey/minnie then let me know or can get one would be very helpful.
@Danny well done on getting a grape soda pin without paying loads of money for it :D
I'm being kept busy at the mo and can't keep up with all the forums i joined b4 i started work and cope with kids/general everyday stuff so apologies for being quiet!
I know I am happy about that part, not so happy about having to trade away my CM set but hey I will find mickey/minnie at some point I guess. It is a shame though that it had to happen but anyway its fine now in a way. Its crap that the 2 I got spare are two I already have and I always seem to find Pluto on the lanyard which is just crap lol
Also YAY! post count 700 lol
is there any1 on here from liverpool.if so do u know if they have any ducktales pins so i can send my sister to get me one.thanks
3 cities 3 Disney stores and 2 days later and we finally have the full set of CM lanyard pins :D Yay!
Our "local store" (one hours drive) Norwich had none :( so I phoned ahead to peterborough who had three! so Sunday we drove over to pick them up (another hours drive :roll: ) but we had to have the full set lol so I then drove back home to get the train to Cambridge (45 mins) where we managed to pick up the last ones we needed. I also had the added bonus of getting to look in swarovski shops. love! and we watched Toy Story 2 3D!
@Danny we still have 8 grape soda pins 8) but even between us we cant decide what to do with them hehe
@daxyboy every store I listed above had stock left of the ducktales pin so I should imagine so, try phoning ahead? the CMs are always helpful and wont mind :)
Thanks for the Duck Tale's picture makes me want it even more. Hopefully it will still be around 20th Feb what do you think will it have sold out by then please say no.
Ro
@Claire Well done on getting a full set of the pins :) i saw ur post about opi Alice range loving it but have to wait til end of month to see what funds i have left after bills :roll: if only didn't have to pay rent& council tax lol
I doubt it seeing as not many people on pinpics want it so could show that no one will buy an extra to trade. I think the rescue rangers one is going to be more popular and Im buying two of that but even if the store sells out there is always online as the last resort.
But I will keep in check of the stores stock near me to give you a better understanding on how well its selling.
Just realised it's been a long time since a princess mirror pin has been released, i presume there are more in the series than Belle, Ariel and Aurora. Also no valentine pin this year (ignoring the Lady and the Tramp online pin) there were 2 last year i think so a bit strange. I don't know how people found out that the old tv series is a 4 part collection but i can't wait to find out what the last will be gummi bears would be my favourite.
Ro
I am thinking we will see a new Locket/mirror pin on the next coming soon image in 2 weeks time and speaking of valentines pins I want the new Lilo and stitch connecting hearts pins, looks sooo cute.
What lilo and stitch valentines day pin??????????? I want it!!!!

is that the american set? I got that coming in the post if it is.
Can somebody tell me the pinpics number for the lilo and stitch pins???? i want to see them so i can add them to my wants!!!!! I should really get a job, so i can get more pins!!!!!!! *off to disney store to try and get a job!!!!* lol!! :D :D
I'm sorry to Danny about not trading for the grape soda pin, I did want to have the fun of finding the cm pins myself I like searching for new pins. And I can't wait for my arm to recover properly so that I can search far and wide. I'm absolutely gutted that because of it I'm missing out my planned trip to London this weekend, I even had tickets for Wicked. I'll pm you the deets but if I'd read your post about needing a grape pin cos of your brother then I would of relented and traded with you. Unfortunately your not the only who has to share their space with someone who isn't the best choice. My little cousin has been on this site as me and read my messages so I didn't see it was there.
Back on topic i'm loving the look of the new ducktales pin, and will hopefully pick one up next time I go to a disney store. My arm has been worst in the last few days, and I've not been up to going out.
its fine Eager_Eyes, I traded my set away with another trader on Facebook :) so I got one in the end so no worries I know how rare the Grape pin is so Im not surprised people said no :P
Im looking forward to getting the St Paddys Mickey pin just cause it matches the stitch one.
We all know how quickly the Up soda badge sold out and how wanted it is. What do you think will be the next pin which sells out so quickly?
Anyone think Rescue Rangers or Mickey St Patricks Day pin?
Ro
Looking at pinpics then I think the rescue rangers pin will sell out, Im aqlready picking up 2 for trades lol
I reckon that the st.Patrick's day pin will sell quickily. After all the stitch one laat year did well and pin trading wasn't as well established as it now is. Plus does any one remember back in the day when disney beanines were quite the collectable, I do, I was into in a big way at one point the st. Patrick's Day Pooh and Tigger always sold out quickily.
ye.my cast lanyard name pins came in the post today,they are fab just need to find goofy
I dont think Im going to find the other two but I have people looking out for me so fingers crossed. If not then I think I will trade all of them away as I wouldnt like to leave without a full set lol
I got a few older CM pins from the Oldham store today just for the hell of it since I had not trading in a while so I got bored and thought why not lol as Im not really going to get to do that often when Ive moved.
I bet Lindsay is having a great time, io can't wait to see all the pins she has traded for and hear about pin trading night.
Ro
I forgot when she is back (I think its tonight) but Im just hoping if she made it to PTN then it was cheshire cat pin as I know she would be sooo happy if it was him. Also hope she can find the new cheshire cat pin from the cats series :)
I hope it was a Chesire Cat pin too. I can imagine how happy I would be if I went and the pin turned out to be a Mickey! I'm still aiming to make to a PTN one day, and hopefully get some rather good trades done when I'm there 8)
I would like to go to one aswell lol but there is already a stitch one which is impossible to get lol thats why I settled for the HKDL pin event pin muuuuch cheaper and just as rare :)

yeah it was tonight because she said she would only be able to stay a short while at the PTN cus she wud have to go for her flight. i cant wait to hear all about her trip :)
ive seen the new cheshire cat pin on ebay but im sure she cot it no problem. i like the figaro pin its on ebay too lol..good old ebay :P
hahaha I forgot when the PTN was lol I wonder if the pins have been shown on ebay or Dizpins yet as I want to know what it was :P
I LOVE ebay! as I just got a PT52 Alpha pin (yes they have finally made an Alpha, Beta Gamma pin) and another UP pin LE1500 both for $20.
oooh just seen on PP the PTN pins...Tarzan and Sebastian...I do like the sebastion pin :)
Lol, not impressed with either of the PTN pins. Unfortunatly though I didn't have enough time to go trade them away. We had to run out and get the coach as soon as we bought them. Will post more pin-related stuffs when I get the chance. :)
Love both of those PTN pins, I thought it was nice to have Tarzan as a boy.
Welcome back Lindsay!! :D :D :D :D :D
Can't wait to hear all about your trip! Aw I think the PTN pins are nice!
hope you had a great time away!
luv aveen x
Welcome back hope you had a great time pin trading.

A couple more purchases last night>>
Cinderella 60th Anniversary [Celebration Pin] :)
(//http://images18.fotki.com/v437/photos/1/1220156/5417448/Cinderella60thAnniversary-vi.jpg)
and...
Ducktales Pin [Limited Edition] :)
(//http://images18.fotki.com/v437/photos/1/1220156/5417448/ogeMcDuckwithHueyDeweyandLouie-vi.jpg)
Cinderellas eyes and mouth look scary!!!!!! but I love the Duck Tales pin
I got the same two pins (bought them off the website) hehe. I have to say I was disappointed in the cinderella one because it is quite dull or something in real life...am I the only one that thinks that? I love the ducktales one though:)
@Javey you always make the pins look so lovely in the pics you take! :D
@Aveen i agree about the Cinderella pin i havn't actually bought it yet!But the Ducktales was better than i thought it would be!
The ducktales one is much better pin I think as well :) I was looking to review the pin and had fun doing that, I dont really fancy talking about the Cinderella pin lol but I might do if I can spare a fiver.
I picked up the Ducktales pin today, I really love it such a nice pin. No luck with the new name tag pins yet. But its still early days I reckon I'll get them sooner or later.
Quote from: "Dorsetcandy"@Javey you always make the pins look so lovely in the pics you take! :D
Thanks for the comments there Dorsetcandy, as I said to Aveen, I always try and get the best shots I can using my favourite photo suite program with a few other tricks up my sleeve.. :mrgreen:
Javey you should so snap the images for my blog lol make them look alot better than I can do :P
Quote from: "Stitch2814"Javey you should so snap the images for my blog lol make them look alot better than I can do :P
Yeah, but the main problem being that I can only snap the ones I buy, so your choice would be select.. :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:
hahaha true true it would be XD
I can't wait for Saturday, after a little reoganisation of our ady we are fitting in a Disney store to make sure i will not miss out on Rescue Rangers. I will probably pick up 2 so i ahve one to trade as well as Duck Tales and a Cinderella to trade in the parks. It will be my first pin trading with the lanyard since early December so really looking forward to it.
Will definately be going to Arndale store in Manchester on 20th Feb and Leeds on 23rd so i can pick up goof troop and St Patricks day as well as doing more pin trading.
Ro
Aww shame Im not in manc by then Ro Id loved to of met up with you and chat etc etc :( I might need someone to pick me up the st paddys mickey for me if I can get it online..anyone willing to do that for me just in case??
does anyone know anythink about the surprise pin thats out on saturday.Will it be available just for that day i wonder.i hope not as i am goin next wednesday,first time to a disneystore this year,wished i lived closer.
theres a surprise pin?? Maybe a princess and the frog pin seeing as its out on friday...hmmm intriging...
Can't wait to hear what the surprise pin is. :)
Ooooooohhhhhh need to know what the pin is.
Ro
My guess is either Valentine Pin or One year anniversary of pin trading in uk pin.
Ro
hmm Im there on saturday anyway so I shall be checking in to see what the pin is...Im really hoping for princess and the frog pin :P
can you let me know on saturday what it is please danny and if it is only available for a day.On facebook it says its mickey and minnie
Omg the pin is sssoooo nice Mickey & Minnie inside love heart £5 pin LE of 800 so they will go quick when we had the Xmas buable pin which was same edition size/celebration pin they sold out in our store the day they were released and sure they sold out online quickly too!
I heard it was £7 today but they were unsure about it. Im not going to get it as I cba getting pins to trade at the moment I simply cant afford it so easier to get pins I want off ebay rather than buy to try and trade them which always seems to fail and leaves me with the pins :(
Hi all
Will the surprise pin be available online or just in store ?
Matt
probably be available online as the aurora pin was released in store and put online when it got released as we didnt know that one was coming out.
If it's £5 i will definately pick up a couple. So glad i am going to London on Saturday. Pin sounds great.
Ro
Ekkk if its got my main man Mickey on it then I NEED it :shock: especially if its at £5 will buy a couple and put them away for my ever growing bundle of traders for future trips to Florida and DLP!
So tomorrow we find out what the final pin in the DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop set will be.
I figure there are 3 runners Wuzzles, Gummi Bears and Talespin. My bet is on Talespin although i would really like a Gummi Bears pin.
Ro
Im rooting for Gummi Bears as well but seeing the recent TV pins from the US they have a Tailspin pin so we might get that but I want Gummi Bears :)
Well I still want it to be marsupalami (I can dream)...Or Darkwing Dark just for something completly left field. Still whatever it is We are bound to buy it..Will be intresting to see how they trade when we hit Disneyland paris on the 20th
16 days til DLRP here we come
My bet is on tailspin as well.
What about GARGOYLES? :D Wuzzles is what I would like though.
I agree I loveddddddddd that show a lot when I was younger it was one my faves the odds of that have got to be slim though.
Gargoyles would be class as well sooo many choices...
OMG it's Gummi Bears - Love it. Can't wait to go the Disney store tomorrow to get the other pins. the surprise Mickey and Minnie is sweet, think its one of those even better in person pins.
Ro
GUMMI BEARS!!!!!
Now Im bouncing here and there and everywhere with that news, Awesome. And nice to see the Snow White locket pin it looks nice..so does the Genie pin :) only down side to the new releases is...
YET ANOTHER TINKERBELL PIN!!!
could of done without that if Im honest

YET ANOTHER TINKERBELL PIN!!!
could of done without that if Im honest
I never really watched gummi bears so i will pass on it I think, happy with the rest ....except the tinkerbell one, even though it's different but it's still tinkerbell again!!!! plus it wil be £8 or £9! :roll:
The Mickey and Minnie valentines pin is nice.
im so happy the 4th pin is gummi bears,ever since i started collecting pins ive always wanted a gummi bears pin.i think this set is the best set that they have done,hope they do more old tv show pins.A recess pin would be cool.im also lovin the genie pin and valentine mickey and minnie.im glad my birthday is 4th march as i think im goin to buy a lot of pins over the coming weeks.lol
loving the gummi bears pin defintly going to try get it :)
Not too gone on the tunkerbell or genie one though
No Marsupalami.....Well no surprise. The Gummi Bears does look nice though. Love the Genie pin. Just wish they had someone on the pin team that could think of someone other than tink.
Still never mind, I think Im going to start a Marsupalami appreciation society and go and have a massive hissy fit now
Still 2 more weeks then I will be heading for Disneyland paris and all will be right in the world (well at least for 1 week)
15 days till DLRP here we come
Is there any plans for anymore tv pins, gargoyles and talespin pins would be great!!!! Simonandwendy626, have great fun in dlrp, I can't wait to go back in October of this year!!! Back to pins, why won't Disney bring out a princess and the frog pin for the uk????? Especially when it came out today!
Well i actually really LOVE the Tinkerbell pin as i have been eyeing up Tink trapped in the lantern pins from the parks and they are always quite expensive/sort after to get them on secondary market and havn't managed to trade via pinpics either so :D/ everyone has thier favourites and while Tink is still so popular they will make the pins...we had actually run out of all the Tink pins other than her sat on flower so will be good to have another core pin featuring her from tomorrow!
But i do hope throughout the year we get sum interesting characters aswell tho i think the 2series of pins at the mo are really nicely done/thought out the mirror/locket pins with the detail and the dangle elements on ducktales/rescue rangers all these look so much better in reality aswell!Considering UK stores have only been officially pin trading for a year(well a yr on 14th Feb) we have had some nice pins the romance collection,villians spinners,Mickey film series and the hobby is definately growing :D
:D So excited by the Gummi Bears pin. I'll definatly be buying a spare of that.
Today I'll be picking up the Valentine's pin for sure. Might get a Rescue Rangers for trading as well.
I love the new Tink pin aswell.
I'm having to back away from buying pins as my habit was costing too much money. The Gummi bear pin is drawing me back in though. :P
For the first time in about 3 months, I got some pins on their release date!!! Today I got the rescue rangers pin and 2 of the valentines day pins (I'm going to trade one, another first)!!! I also got one of the new stitch plush keychains as well!! So basically, I spoiled myself and I won't be doing that again for a very long time :( oh well
well never made it the disney store today, hopefully will pick up a gummi bears and valentines pin tomorrow. I did however, pick up my very first cm pin on Friday, a Donald one and I love him!
Went to Oxford Strret in London yesterday and picked up the following:
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC02932.jpg)
If anyone is interested i got the last DuckTales pin which means they sold out in 2 weeks!
No romance series or villain spinners which there were in December, also no locket pins very little on the LE.
Ro
I am gutted to be so far from a store with all the new pins that have been coming out - would love the valentines one :( - never mind I am pleased there is new Tink pins coming out - we all have our own favs dont we which is what makes it a good hobby I think.
xx
Emma, I have one of the valentines day pins, if you would Like it!!! I really need a job so I can get more traders!!!!!

You can still buy them online
@Sean glad you made it to Disney Store and got the new pins,Emma will prob jump at chance of the valentines pin as i know she has had to curb her online spending cause she is coming to the pin meet in a few weeks! :D
@Ro great additions to your collection
Bit off topic but @Danny good luck with the move hope all gos well!!
Awww thanks Sam, Im just sorting everything out now and Im all over the place lol Im all packed but its soo hard to pack away laptop as Im going to be bored otherwise hahaha
Yay my pins came in the post yesterday!
Not going to post pics of them all as I am sure you have all got them/seen them in stores already, but here is the Online LE and the Surprise releases... (sorry for bad quality I took them in a rush on my iphone)

(//http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z251/pudibundus/IMG_0045.jpg)
very pleased! we got 2 of each and very impressed with shipping time considering they only came out on friday
I like the lady and the tramp pin but the price as well as p&p costs put me off. Maybe if they gave you free delivery if you had it delivered to a store but you had to pay on the internet in advance i would consider it but £5 is so much esp if you are only buying 1 pin.
the way I look at it is it would cost me about £5 petrol, parking and wear and tear on my car to drive to my nearest Disney Store (45 miles) so *shrugs* it really makes no difference. it is also partly the reason why we ordered all the pins released last week online and got 2 lady and the tramp and the surprise pin, makes it a bit more worth while.
The online pins are fantastic traders in DLP so its all worth it in the end
^ Really do the traders over there like them? Wondering if would be worth getting the odd one or two in the build up to currently planned although not booked so not official trip in Oct. I just had no sway over the traders last time I was there I did take a few UK core pins over with me but they didn't seem impressed. Although it was my first time trading in Paris so it was a little bit of a learning curve.

I took a lanyard or 2 full of LE uk pins (some even online ones) at the PTN I went to and no one seemed to be overly fussed :? :? But maybe I just had a bad night (it really was:P)
Thanks for posting the pic Clare, nice to see a real life pic!
I can understand Ro (belle's world) when she said about the postage, it really puts me off at times when buying pins online...even though I know its easier than the effort to go to the store at times.
I am just simply pointing out that when We place an order for pins we male it worth our while, for example our last order was £100. It's not that we "cant be bothered" as we normally weekend in a city and 9 times out of 10 end up in a Disney store anyways.
Core pins won't really interest them at all in DLP, I'm my experience, nor will the 3 and 5 point LE because the pin board and CM lanyards just get flooded with them. The traders in Paris mean business we took 2 lanyards (both uk ones) full exclusivley of uk LE and carried a bag of spares and a few CM Lanyard series pins also and we were turning down trades!! I think we were the most popular pin traders in the parks for that week! It was great fun but also kind of embarasing.
Greetings Im a pin trader from Ireland and I hope to fit in here :)....
Yes I have made it safe and sound lol and am missing the disney store already lol
ClareBell when you went did you just walk around with your lanyard on and have people coming up to you to trade? We went last June and i had my lanyard on the entire time only once did i trade with someone who was not a cm and that was by the pin trading board. To be fair i did not have any UK LE but have got a couple already to take in October, where is the best place in your opinion to find trades.
BTW i wasn't saying you were crazy to buy from the the internet, i just meant for me it makes it too expensive. However if you are buying over £70 worth it's free p&p anyway so if i ever get a snowglobe etc i probably will add a couple of pins. I just heard that the Lady and the tramp is now out of stock so you have a couple of good traders there.
Ro
Lady and the Tramp, Valentines Mickey and Minnie and Rescue Rangers all still on site but as soon as you click on them it says unavaialble so it looks like all ahve sold out ion less than a week!
Ro
yeah I read on dizpins that the Lady and the tramp pin sold out as of Feb 9th lol which is a good think so looks like I shall be buying or trying to get the Tinkerbell online pin for trading.

Hey Ro, I know your question was to clare but I just wanted to say when I wore my LE uk lanyard pins (a lanyard only LE uk pins) in the park I got attention and offers from cast members who I had to turn down as they werent really offering me anything good except the normal pins on their lanyards. But at the Pin trading night it didnt have the same effect at all!
I think the CM want the pins on the lanyards for other traders rather than the people who are at the PTN's could be from the UK or already have them which reading from what you guys have been saying is close enough.
But thats my opinion on it as I never been to a PTN or a park so I dont really have a place to comment on it

lol the cast members want them for themselves usually lol
hahahaha oh right lol
I think im going to save up and go next year :) I want to go so I think since Im not buying much here my money can be saved for DLRP 2011 lol
Thanks Aveen, I'm trying to decide how many LE's to atke with me in october. If all they are offering is what is on their lanyard it's not really worth it. But i will still take a couple for people crowding around the pin board as they were a lot doing that when i went in June.
Danny you should definately go October will be my 10th time, i love it so much there, although it will only be my second pin trading trip.
Ro
Yep come in Oct I'll probably be there too, its great fun and there are lots of cm's to be potential traders around. I've been 5 times so far, I've been to Florida a fair few times as well.
well October would be ace for me personally as its my bday in october so would be perfect but cant do it this year as his holidays dont fall in October and dont think he can change it so I dont particulary want to do it on my own lol.
I know when/IF I go this year or next as I will be going, I think I shall try for 2 weeks at best so I get most out of the trip since I wont be flying lol so need extra time for travel which for me personally is more fun as I like to sight see haha

well some cast member actually pin their pwn pins to their uniform waistcoat and if you seen someone that had them there they might have one or two good pins on it that you could trade for, or if they have a lil thing on their waist holding pins (i only ever seen one woman) they can be their own too. I actually seen a cast member wearing a lanyard (her own as it was different from the normal cast lanyard) and it was all LE stitch pins. I went over to her aqnd asked her if she traded and she just said no lol :P
The rules are if its not on their official dlp lanyard the its the cm's own pin. I've spotted a few men with their own pins on their ties as well which is worth looking out for. They can refuse to trade for their own pin but they have to trade you for a pin which is on their lanyard. I caused no end of fuss about this in June when a cm in the camera shop refused to trade with me but that is a discussion for another topic!
When i went in June there was a mean cm in the massive 3 in 1 shop in the Village. She was wearing a lanyard and the pins looked like they could have been LE so i asked her to swap and she jsut said no and walked away. She didn't even look at what i had. I don't think CM's should be allowed to wear their own lanyards and if they are allowed what is the point if they are not even going to consider trading. In the clothes shop in the village i traded the man behind the desk for a pin on his tie, i didn't realise it was his until now but he did request he could choose what he wanted from my lanyard and that was fine.
Ro
Ro and Eager_eyes - I can totally understand what you both say. The same thing happened me in the villiage shop actually Ro..well kind of. A CM had 2 pins on the lanyard that I wanted and when I went to trade he said " you can only have the ones on this side and not these 2" etc... I wanted to tell him that he was wrong and what he was doing was against Disney's pin trading rules as it was on the lanyard for trading but I didn't want the fight but it really annoyed me, not because I was dying to get the pins but because they work for Disney and should know the rules! I just said no thanks and walked away.
I have to say I hate to meet Rude CM and have met a few in DLP. :roll:
But I met a lovely CM at the PTN I went to and I did nearly all my trading with her. She wasn't dressed as a cast member but she actually works in the emporium. She didn't really like the way the traders at PTN can be quite intimidating and scary so we both just quietly did trading in a simple friendly way.
I would like to meet her! I go into the emporium a lot as that is the main place i find the pin trading board.
I have just phoned the Manchester Arrndale branch in preperation for next week and they have told me they have 2 lanyards for trading and Leeds are unfortunately not answering their phone but i will keep trying as i want to know roughly how many pins to take with me. Looking forward to it already!
Ro
Ro, you can also try the trafford centre as they have 2 lanyarrds as well, its only 30-45minutes from Manchester city centre so you can easily do both.
I think If/when I go to DLRP I shall be the one who would shout at any CM being rude to me or the like as I dont think it is very disney when there are rude to customers.
You might be busy stalking stitch hehe I used to luv meeting him hehe! Hes so cute and cuddly! :D :D :D I still would except the scrums around characters drive me insane!!
I did say something to the cm in June. That is I reminded him of the rules and threatened to cross the road and report him to guest relations. I then refused to move from the counter and out of the way so he couldn't serve anyone else. Then a random woman who was waiting in the queue started having a go at me and 'my silly little hobby some of us have children waiting here' That didn't work. I said I was sorry but I'm not moving until I get my pin. It was the fact that what he was doing was wrong. It was the DLP cast lanyard Boo from Monsters Inc pin. I thought it was cool on pinpics and had been keep my eye out for it for the entire trip and it was the first time I'd seen it and it was the day I was going home so I knew the chances of seeing it again were slim to nil. After a few mins he traded. Wasn't happy about it though. He was saying that you have to give size for size. So I couldn't trade him a little Mickey pin for that one cos it was smaller!!!!
Quote from: "Stitch2814"Ro, you can also try the trafford centre as they have 2 lanyarrds as well, its only 30-45minutes from Manchester city centre so you can easily do both.
I think If/when I go to DLRP I shall be the one who would shout at any CM being rude to me or the like as I dont think it is very disney when there are rude to customers.
Danny that would be a nice idea but we will have already been driving for 5 hours before we get to Manchester and then after we leave we still ahve another hour and a half before we get to the cottage we are staying at for the week. we don't drive you see so my mil and fil are taking us there and we are stopping at Manchester on the way. We can get to Leeds easily by train so at laest we can get another pin trade in!

Another really lucky break at the Disney Store last night, I managed to get the last Minnie & Mickey Valentines Celebration Pin, and that was off the shop board.. :mrgreen:

I have the way CM's in the parks and Stores make up their own rules about trading like "size for size" which is not true! I know which pin your talking about. I haven't got it yet but it is lovely! I seen a CM with it on his waistcoat - wonder if he actually traded for it or just took it :roll:
Great pics javey! hehe:)
not sure if this is where to ask this :? But I have only just found pins and love Up so I ned to ask if you think Disney will release more UP pins? I can't afford the ones you see for sale and love them :(
there will be more UP pins Im sure as I collect them and I will say the ones already out are VHTF, maybe some stores still have the UP core pin for £3, I think its still on the website I dont know but other than that then I think its the only one that is cheap to get.
Thanks, at least theres hope now
Hahaha there is hope, but some of the UP pins I have, have been cheap wins on ebay, an LE1000 Up pin cost me £5 with shipping so I cant argue, just got to be patient with trying to find bargains as the only one Ive paid a lot for is the Kevin pin but everyone on here knows I HAD to have the pin hahaha.
A tip I can give you is to not look on ebay.co.uk but look on ebay.com as more UP pins will appear, The other UP core pin is there for $4 and I think they ship to the UK not sure but just thought Id let you know and I will keep an eye out for you if any cheap ones turn up as I regulary look every day lol
I can't believe it just found out the Disney store in Leeds has closed. So gutted as was planning on going next week. It's the first store i bought a pin in Feb last year i got the Beauty and the Beast Romance series. Will have to see if i can get anywhere else from where we are staying by public transport. Thank goodness for Manchester on the way there.

Thanks for that Stitch2814, I will have a look. heading off to the states in 6 weeks so could get some shipped to my cousins to save a litle on postage :)
thats awesome :) hope you can get hold of a few UP pins as I know how hard it can be as it took me a while to get a few of the ones I got lol
the Disney store in the White Rose centre is still open as far as I know, its the commercial road one that closed as far as I know, ive only been to Leeds once so I might be wrong, but I hope not for your sake
Quote from: "smurfy74"the Disney store in the White Rose centre is still open as far as I know, its the commercial road one that closed as far as I know, ive only been to Leeds once so I might be wrong, but I hope not for your sake
You are correct, it's the '16-17 Commercial Street' store that has been removed from the Disney Stores list.. :(
Thanks Smurfy and Jarvey. We can still go the White Rose centre which is another bus trip away but worth it in my opinion just for the Disney Store!
Does anyone know if the Manchester store is doing anything special on Saturday i know Lindsay and Danny have mentioned pin trading mornings before how would i find out?
Ro
they havent had a pin trading morning for a few months now, which is kinda crap as Dan who organises it doesnt seem to want to sort one out lol so I doubt there would be one when you go Ro as not had one since mid-November even though the small group who went wanted them but like I said Dan (the CM) doesnt seem as interested in it now as they were supposed to start back up again when the sale ended and thats ended and still nothing and I was told he would arrange one before I left for Ireland but never did which is a shame as it was a nice little group who went.
And there is a facebook group for the Manchester Arndale pin traders and that is where it would get updated to say if there was a morning or not.
EDIT - I had a look and He is looking to start it up again....(kinda annoyed now) for sunday mornings/afternoons..

Typical now I am not there he wants to start them up again :(
Well I'm glad they're starting up again I worked nearly every weekend in the run up to xmas so I never got a chance to go along...and Sunday afternoons are a lot easier for me to be sure I'll be able to go :D
I traded for the first time in ages in the Disney Store today, there was 2 very friendly staff members on so it was a good experience! I got the last 2 pins I needed for the CM lanyard set of name tags! :D/ :D/ :D/ I haven't traded since wayy before Christmas, maybe even September or so in the store for various reasons.
I managed to get the Valentines pin, the UP character pin that i had traded away at one stage and needed back, I was panicking whenI seen it was removed from the site a week or so ago, I got 2 extra becayse up pins are very good for trading and the ariel locket!:)
I also got the nautical minnie mouse plush and the big Mickey mouse clubhouse teapot for my nephew - he's less than 2 and has a lil play kitchen because he loved the one in nursery, he loves pretendning to give you a drink and stuff...so the teapot has kitchen stuff in it.
also got the UP dvd in Asda Living for £10!
Good wee Disney day! :D

:( For whatever reason, this week's pins are due on the website this Friday as normal...but they won't be appearing in store until the Saturday AFTER. How weird is that? It does mention on the website that the dates have changed, but it doesn't say why.

It's not the first time they have done this, it's becoming regular. So I was told it's down to transportation, if there's problems getting the Pins to various stores the order gets delayed, since all stores supposed to aquire them at the same time. Even though I know this doesn't always happen either from past experiences.. :roll:
I do remember a time that the Disney Store website changed the dates of a particular Pin, I can't remember which one it was, but they moved the date to a week later. To my suprise it actually appeared in my local one on the date they originally said.. :roll:
My Lesson: You should not always believe what the website tells you.. :roll:
If it's a must have Pin telephone before hand, it's a safer bet that way.. :wink:

Yeah I agree, if you live quite a distance from your nearest store then phoning in advance is the best Idea. My local store never have the pins out on the actual day of release anyway lol! :P They can never find them in their large deliveries but on the bright side fewer people buy them over here anyway lol.
Remember the Baloo core pin, it appeared on the site then disappeared for ages.
It's the postage cost for people buying pins that puts people off ordering online. like £5 is great when your ordering big things and actually fantastic when ordering something heavy like a snowglobe but if you only want 1 LE pin your paying £12, or £8 for a core pin! and thats if your only ordering one! I guess we can't have it both ways lol!
I remember the UP pin being delayed in a few stores as the manchester stores took forever to get them in as I got all the traders I knew the UP pin from the Oldham disney store lol
Speaking of the new pins, would anyone be willing to pick me up the St Paddys mickey pin?? I can paypal the money for it.. just not afford the £8 postage to Ireland...:(
ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH this is so annoying. I was really looking forward to getting Goof Troop and St Patricks Day Mickey on Saturday. Won't be able to get to a Disney store the next weekend as that is when we are going home. Now i am frantically trying to find a discount code or free p&P code for the disney store website. First they close the Leeds store now this.

Yeah this is also true, unless you are ordering lots of small items or one large item that £5.00 can be costly. Funnily enough I sent them an email about discounts just this week after checking out the ordering on-line processes, just to see what it entailed, it was then I realised I couldn't get my 10% discount off an online order, their is a promotions box but only for offers, not for Shareholders which you can get instore. This was the reply>>
Quote from: "Disney Store"Thanks for your enquiry about discounts for online orders, unfortunately we can only offer promotional discounts online not store discounts.

Looks like I'm sticking to the store shopping.. :roll:
I'm a shareholder too which is what makes the internet price even more unreasonable but i suppose if i have to i will. Love the new pins announced, thumper celebration for Easter, core Ariel and Aladdin and Jasmine LE.
Just had a look and they do look great and a nice varied selection shame the Dumbo pin is online exclusive as Id of got tried to get that to trade but Im guessing another £8-9.
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/new.jpg)
Im glad to see we are getting more pins released now as there seems to be quite a few coming out at once now :) lets hope for booster sets or new lanyards or our own mystery set...but I guess we can dream cant we.
And can no one pick me
aw I love Thumper! and Casey & Dumbo
arrhhh this hobby is starting to get so expensive currently trying to keep up our full collection, buy traders for WDW and the 20th Anniversary oh well
Javey I agree it sucks that we cant get shareholders online but if i remember correctly it does say in UK Disney stores, it just annoys my how much they charge MAC charge 2.95 for next day delivery and pins arent any bigger than an eyeshaddow or a MSF. But i suppose as long as we are all giving in to them they are not going to change it
Aww, I really like the look of the Thumper and Dumbo pins. :) Will have to see nearer the time if I'm going to buy them.
Really happy about the upcoming pins! luving the aladdin, thumper and Ariel ones especially! The dumbo one looks great but i am not sure I will pay £9 for it but still at least its a little bit of variation!
:) xxx
Traded for these today when we went to pick up our UP packs :D

Great trades clare. Is the jasmine one a bit marked or is it meant to be that way? I love the front of it! :D

Here's a trade I got from the Disney Store branch in York last Friday... Well, come on... It's Donald.. :wink:

Cool pins clarebelle and javey!! Up here i have never, ever saw a donald pin. Strange, eh
nice pins.javey are you from york or near by, im from scarborough and dont know many collectors in yorkshire
Quote from: "daxyboy"nice pins.javey are you from york or near by, im from scarborough and dont know many collectors in yorkshire
I don't either.. :lol: :mrgreen: Though there's a nice stamp shop in the Shambles that sell really nice Disney Stamps which I also bought, I'm starting to get a nice collection going on those aswell.. :)
No, I'm from Houghton-Le-Spring, which is a place sandwiched between Durham and Sunderland, it's just we fancied a day out in York last Friday.. :mrgreen:
The UK Disney store has some awesome pins!
Sadly I hardly ever get any, it's too expensive to just get one pin from there and have it shipped to Belgium.
When I need to get something else from there I would order the pin along though :)
I know Im thinking of ordering a few pins myself but the problem is the postage is £8 which is pin money right there so I got to think if I want to get the tinkerbell pin for trade :P

Snow White Locket Pin and the St. Patrick's Day Mickey Mouse Pin
Oh dear.. :shock:
I didn't realise that the Snow White Locket Pin was released on 19th Feb, for some reason I thought it was today, to be instore tomorrow. Been in the Disney Store last night and didn't see it anywhere at all.. :shock:
Love the St. Patrick's Day Mickey Mouse Pin aswell, nice and green.. :mrgreen:
Hi All - I'm back. Had a great time. Bought the following from Leeds and Manchester and a couple i gave in and got from the website:
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC03100.jpg)
Have to curb the spending for a while although we are planning atrip to ipswich late March to pick up the Thimper pin! Addicted me?!
Ro
I traded in Manchester last Saturday and my husband did some trading for me so i got the following:
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC03101.jpg)
I was really happy to swap for so many core pins that i didn't have, the green alien is for trading but the rest are for me. The Christmas pin is also a nice addition to my collection. Danny i spotted a lot of your pins from your job lot on the lanyard so i don't think much trading has been done recently. Manchester was a lot bigger and busier than i expected, and all the trams were a little scary!
Then we traded in Leeds:
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC03102.jpg)
There were loads of the alphabet pins on the lanyard, i'm aware that some are probably fakes as there are a lot around but i liked them.
Ro
Great pin trading Ro!:)
Im still after getting the Letter S from the Alphabet series as its stitch just not been trading that much as not had many traders but with my other half going to DLRP in just over a months time I shall be getting him to pick up any new releases and stitch pins I need.
Also IF there are any upcoming pins for the 1st week of April (will know when the image gets shown in mid-march) that you would be after let me know and Im sure he would do his best to pick them up for anyone in need :)
Ro there very nice you got there and glad to see you enjoyed the trip to manchester :)
Great display of Pins everyone, thanks for sharing.. :wink: :D

Quote from: "Stitch2814"Im still after getting the Letter S from the Alphabet series as its stitch
I want it as well, as it is stitch AND my name starts with S. I hope i could eventually get it!!!
I've never seen the Stitch one in person i suppose like all Stitch pins it's very popular so doesn't get put on lanyards.
Ro
me either Ive rarely seen the alphabet pins on lanyard in the store but Im guessing the same as you no one wants to trade in the stitch one lol
I saw one yesterdays at Sams pin meet but cant remember who had it? Will go and have a think
New pins announced today:

Really happy more celebration pins are coming out.
Ro
lots of nice pins to come from the Disney store.
I see the Sleeping Beauty sword pin is part of a series. Is there not going to be a cinderella or jasmine locket pin? :?
I dont see how there can be a sword series...but it looks like a nice pin, I would of picked it up if I didnt spend my pin budget for the next 3 months lol Saying that Im a bit surprised we are getting another sleeping beauty pin so soon after the Locket pin.
They are nice looking pins but still I feel the disneystore is sticking to certains films as we have been getting a alot of Aladdin pins recently, Ariel and sleeping beauty pins.
Fair enough we are actually getting more and more pins released so in that respect I aint moaning what we get just wish they would not release more for a certain film (like aladdin) as I would of loved to of still got prinecess and the frog pin, Mulan pins Robin Hood, Sword in the stone (maybe we get one in the sword series)

They seem to be playing it safe with the main films or at least the princesses who have took over a lot of merchandise the past few years. I never really liked how they have grouped the princesses.
Oh I get playing safe as princess stuff always sells, Like I said not complaining as they look like there going to look great in hand, and we are getting variety just shame the new ones have to be online exclusive.
Anyone know what the LE of the Tinkerbell pin is yet as I looked on the site and it said its not available to purchase so either is has sold out already lol so I do not know.
ive tried to order the new releases today as i cant get to my local disney store in brighton at the moment. i phoned the helpline and they said you cant buy todays releases until after half 5. is this normal on release day??, i want the genie from the core edition and the gummi bears , plus im sure there are some more i could buy. I need to keep telling myself they are only pins and i need to keep calm but i really want the Gummi Bears
It used to say on the pins that they weren't available until after 5 or 6pm when released online on the friday, they must still have this rule but I am sure even if you wait until 5 or 6 you will still get them :)
i still cant get them aveen - not fair - but ive just got into from alice in wonderland which was great
Quote from: "Aveen2008"lots of nice pins to come from the Disney store.
I see the Sleeping Beauty sword pin is part of a series. Is there not going to be a cinderella or jasmine locket pin? :?
There was a big gap between Ariel and snow white so i think the next locket will be announced in 2 weeks. The sword series has probably started because the afternoon series pins have finished.
Ro
:o Looks like the new pins still aren't available online.
Quote from: "Masamune" :o Looks like the new pins still aren't available online.
Yeah, werid! :?
I thought I had just missed the tinkerbell pin but couldn't understand how when I was checking throughout Friday to see if it was available?
Has anyone seen them in the shops or has there been a hold up on these pins? :?
when i phoned customer services in Friday they said it depended when they were booked into stock with regards to their availability online - im guessing they didnt get booked on . i will ask my friend who works for disney at bluewater to see if they launched in store
update
they are instore so i guess we need to check the website monday - apparently the genie pin is the fastest seller at the moment
I was in my local Disney store today and they hardly had any Genie pins left, madness!
We're getting a Dopey core pin next month - woohoo!!! :D/ =D> Hope they do the 4 dwarfs they haven't done yet! [-o< The new sword series starting next month looks epic too! :D
They are now online to purchase!
theres an apology on the disney stores facebook page - theyve promised to keep collectors informed if it ever happens again and they also have an invite to join their pin mailing list on there
My FIL has been brilliant again and got me the Gummi Bears pin last night i get it today and that completes my set which i love. Also have a Donald pin that i won (thanks Donna) and have a few traders on there way so i'm looking forward to seeing what the postie brings!
I've also picked up the gummi bears pin today, its a cute little pin also picked up the re-realsed version of Toy Story loveee that film!
oooh can we see a picture of the gummi bears pin pleeeeease lol I so wants that pin XD
Im likng the the new Sword in the stone pin it looks awesome, liking the Simba pin as well :) not too keen on the mickey and minnie pin.
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/newreleases.jpg)
Thrilled to see the Simba pin but I'm not really a sword and the stone fan and abit like you Danny i'm not that keen on the mickey and minnie pin but there have been a lot of great pins out lately which is great! :D
love the Simba one looks so nice!
Ive been trying to think what else we could get for the sword series and maybe we could get a Black Cauldron pin since the main kid (taran I think he is called) has the magic sword.
Other than that then I am a tad lost of other disney films that have a sword in the film lol. Any body else got ideas??

Aladdin? although they have done the one of aladdin and jafar (snake) with Aladdin holding a sword. I guess they can give anyone a sword really well any of the princes's? Hard to know
maybe a jack sparrow pin or peter pan or treasure planet with swords
hmm I wouldnt particulary be interested in see a Jack Sparrow pin in this series, good films but the pins just dont seem that great.
I was thinking of Aladdin as well could be abu when he steals the sword from the sword swallowing guy. Hmm maybe a captain hook pin seeing as he uses a sword..and Im pushing the boat on the next idea...charles Muntz from UP seeing as he fights Carl using a sword XD
I'd like a Jack pin the sword series - Hercules would be a logicial choice for sword pin but there is already a pin of him with a sword the vs hydra pin that came out a few months ago... Sora from kingdom hearts with the key blade would be my dream pin for that series but I think I'll carry on dreaming on score.
ooooh I would like a kingdom hearts pin so I will dream with you lol as would be great pin if they did it.
Just thought could have Gaston maybe as Im sure he might of had a sword when he is about to fight Beast but not sure (not seem the film in a while)
Had a fab time yesterday in London visiting 3 Disney shops. I'm exhausted but it was worth it. The top row is from Westfield, middle row from Covent Garden and bottom row from Oxford Street. They have 2 lanyards in the first 2 stores and 3 in Oxford street. Me and DH traded which is how i got so many.
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC03614.jpg)
Some are for keeping and some i got as i thought they would be good traders. I will add pictures to the share your trade board so people can see what is up for trade. So happy with westfield store as yuo can see i amnaged to pick up my first name pin Minnie!! The man in there was so into pins he was really great.

shame to find this out today from my mum who went to purchase the Thumper easter pin for me, was told by a close CM I got to know quite well that the Disney Store in Oldham is closing down due to rent prices being increased and they wanted to stay for another 2 years (why 2 I dont know) but due to Oldham council being ********* said had to be 10 years which they were not doing so sadly one of the last remaining original disney stores is closing down :( not fair as most of the cast members were lovely and would love to see them all once again before it shuts but sadly I cant.

Aw no way that's awful :( Sorry to hear that! Was that the closest store to were your home was?
it was the closet for a quick trade fix lol but the manchester store still close by so its fine but the store was small, friendly and I knew most of the CMs very closely so is just unfair :(
:( Aww, what a shame.
Another trip to the Disney Store, a few more Pin purchases.. :D

I love the Ariel Pin Javey!
My friend sent some pins the other day but they have no backs on them (grrr) do the Disney store sell them? Or can i pick up some in DLP?

Hi littlemermaid83, you can can buy the rubber Mickey backs in store, I did about 3 month ago.. :wink:
Also I've noticed that our local Disney Store are putting thick barcode security stickers right over the rubber backs which are then only de-sensitised at the till area when paying. Only on the 'Limited Editions' for now it seems.. :o
I know when the Pin Trading first kicked of in store like most, they just had a board near the till of the latest releases, but for the past few months they have a new stand holding a lot more aswell as the till board, it looks like a few people have been wandering out the store with a few in their pockets, as they are easy pickings for the common thief.. :shock: :shock:
nice images of those pins Javey, any chance for a picture of ariel next to the jasmine for size comparison as wondering if she would be a good trader for DLRP next year even though she a core pin.
The aladdin pin looks very nice indeed and so does the Thumper pin as I got my mum to get me that one over the aladdin hahaha

Generally speaking if you turn the Ariel one on its side, it's about the same size as the Jasmine one. Ariel with Flounder is one of the larger Pins for a core.. :wink: :)
If you use it as a Trader Pin at DLRP you'll definitely trade it for a larger one, it easy fits the bill.. :mrgreen:
Thanks Javey, may pop to my localish Disney Store then as the backs are probably cheaper over here than in DLP.
cheers for the info Javey might have to look into getting one some time lol but LE's are main priority at the moment, even though Im not going to Feb next year but I can get a head start XD
the pin backs are £1.50 i think for a pack in the UK store but i could be wrong
Thanks for posting the pictures of the pins its always good to see them in real life as they usually look much better than they do on the official site! :D
here are my UK pins, i went to our local store which is in Brighton and did a trade for the mickey pin and managed to get quite a few LE's I owned mainly DLP pins before my last couple of visits, but as you can see my UK collection is growing

Backs for the pins are a £1 a pack in uk stores :)
Guys I have just been on PIN PICs and they have a shield for the up coming sword series pins coming out at a pin trading event at milton keynes on the 17th april. Have we missed something?...I can't find any mention on the offical website.
Has anyone else seen or heard anything? apparently the artist is going to be there and signing them they are limited to 200 and only 1 per person.
Hi. More Info can be found by checking out the UK Pin trading facebook group and Disney Store facebook groups.
Hope this helps

New Releases -
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/newreleases-1.jpg)
for me Im not keen on the new releases as yet another princess pin (yawn) and the alien set is boring for me BUT am happy that its an LE set and its available in store so shows we are getting there in terms of what we are getting..just not the wiiiiide range of characters Disney have to offer.
I quite like the LE alien set!!!! and at least its supporting Earth Day!!! But come on!!!!!! ANOTHER princess pin!!!
Wasn't Earth day last weekend? The Princess pins are coming far too regular these days - much like stitch at DLRP , but if that's what tha market think of when it comes to disney, then disney will meet the market.
I do like the Earth Day pins though - finally Disney Store UK are coming up with some quality , unique pins. Keep them coming!! :D
Adam
Earthday is the 22nd April
Sorry - thinking of Earth Hour... :lol:
I believe Snow White is part of the princess and her pets collection after Jasmin with Rajah and Ariel with flounder i would expect another 3 at least so the princesses will not be going away.
I know princess pin wnt be going away but it seems they are coming to much as we had the Locket series (still more to come maybe??) and now the princess with pets.
I know not everyone collects princess pins but we do not need this many in one go as I would say it is not fair for us other collectors who dont collect princess pins, but thats just my opinion.
Quote from: "Belle's World"I believe Snow White is part of the princess and her pets collection after Jasmin with Rajah and Ariel with flounder i would expect another 3 at least so the princesses will not be going away.
I believe you are right, now you've come to mention it Belle's World.. :wink:
I'm pleased to see they are releasing a Film Title Collection since I already have four other film ones, but just put them with others since there weren't enough to make up a page on their own, but now I think I'll leave a page in the Pin Trading bag soley for these.. :wink: :D
I'm not too bothered about any of the new releases to come appart from the simba one - at least that saves me a penny or two lol!
:P
Hey guys, i got the pinnochio pin today (just for trading) and was surprised that the WHOLE of the 2 lanyards had changed!!!! So i got a total of 5 pins today!!!
BTW where is everyone getting these cool signatures from!!!!! I soooo want either a stitch one or one to display my disney art!
I'm...actually debating going to the Milton Keynes event. o_o; Don't ask me why, as it's not like I can really afford it. But...I just really like the look of that Sword series. And I'm sure that if I did think better of it, I could sell it for more than £45, thus making back some of my train fare.
In regards to the new releases, I really like all the new Earth Day range they've got in store. It's all much nicer than the Pooh/Piglet stuff last year. So yeah, I think that pin set is great. Just need to see the Edition size and the price now.

Hey, I made my own, lindsays and dannys. I can make you one to if you want, do you have any specific pictures you want in it?
:)
I forgot to post this as I the price for the Earth Day pin set was on Pinpics as £24.00.
I wish I could go to the Milton Keynes event as Id of joined you if you went lindsay (well if I was still in manchester) and I would of got it and then thought what I want to do with it lol as Id either try and sell it, trade it or keep it as it does look nice just I dunno lol

Does anyone know what's happened to the Dopey core pin that was supposed to be coming out this month? Has anybody managed to find it?? I went to my local Disney Store on Monday hoping to get it, and couldn't find it anywhere, which I thought was odd considering it was supposed to be a new release... Anyway I looked on the website when I got back, and it's not on there anymore either, and I know it was there last Thursday cos I checked lol!... Evidently some people have managed to get hold of it though cos it's on eBay! Gutted, was really looking forward to getting it! :(
My Dopey arrived today, all you have to do is search by character on the website :)
Snow white girl - I got the Dopey pin in store today, perhaps it arrived in a little late to your local store??
Also just to say that all the Earth Day merchandise was out in the store as well (not the pins though).
I was in the Belfast store today, I got the pinocchio aniversary pin, genie tourist, dopey and little mermaid pin. I was meaning to get the aladdin and jasmine on the carpet one but I didn't see it. I did some trading, I actually got 2 core pins that i didn't buy - the mickey plain pin that was release a month or so ago and the Tinker one. I also got a Donald cast lanyard pin (the ones that were first released) - I already have one but got it for trading and then I got one with donald duck and 2 of his nephews(weird not to have the 3 of them) but i cannot find it at all on pinpics :?
I also bought myself the Angel (stitch's girlfriend) plush keyring, which i do already have but i want one to actually put on one of my bags as I keep the other one in my room hehe. And I got the Plush Boo (Monsters inc) doll, I actually used to have her but the older one hadnt got that nice of a face and my friend liked it so i gave it to her :P
Ah brilliant, just found the pin on the website again but don't fancy paying the postage just for a £3 pin lol! I'll try the store again at the weekend :) Never buy that much there apart from pins lol, last time I was in I did get a retro Minnie keyring for my car keys though! And I was eyeing up the Flounder plush but decided against it lol, since then my other half is now trying to win me one on eBay! ;)
Hey guys,
I have to say to be honest I think the earth set is wayyy over priced and I don't buy the whole "free" pin, the cost of that pin is totally in with the whole package at £24!! You could basically say that the pins are £5 each in that set and that you get £1 off the fifth pin! :P :roll: :roll:
I like the core lady pin, although its a bit plain. :)
hahahaha I agree with you in that pricing as seems a bit steep when you think its available in store and the online-exclusives are cheaper lol
hey guys, i went into the disney store today and got 2 of the 5 earth day pins and they were £6 each and the board seems quite nice! If you buy the pins one by one you still get the free pin, you just have to show you reciepts for the 4 pins and you get it! I also got my first limited edition off the lanyard!!!!!!!!!!
cool but seems a tad weird that you can buy them seperatley when its a set. Whats the LE size of it??
What LE pin did you get.
The earth day pins are LE to a very strange 2750 and I'm going to get the rest of the set tomorrow!!! Also the LE pin off the lanyard was Pin 59704. I don't like it that much but I was like, whoa an LE pin off the lanyard!!!!!! But I think I will trade it!
Now thats a weird LE size and for a LE set that size should be muuuuuch cheaper as we have had LE 200 Jack set and that was only £20 and if you take the £5 postage then the Jack set works out better.
I think it should be less as seeing you can choose to buy pins seperately so should be cheaper and maybe the £24 if bought the set all in one go as we got the St Paddys mickey pin which was LE2000 and was only £5 so why an LE2750 is more I dont know.
I got told yesterday by the manager of the Dundee DS that because it's so expensive and so high a edition size is so they can make more money for woodland trust! Reasonable excuse but the could of at least dropped the edition size to 2000 or 2500!
Personally I dont think it is a bad price, when you take off the £2 that is donated to the Woodland Trust each pin only costs £4 which is very resonable, less if you are a shareholder ;) What I dont understand is they appear to have only send out 5 full sets to each DS, are they staggering the release up until the 22nd? or are they just hoping more people will buy as the full set online?
we picked up the last set in Norwich yesterday (they were kind enough to keep it behind the till for us) :D

You've gotta love those aliens, I love the merc so much I got the hoodie and the bag too! and I'm thinking of getting the pjs (one set for me, one for Cowenjs lil sis) the blue tee and the mens green tee. I have to remember to save some money for next years Earth day merc its always so popular.

we have estimated this to be worth £777 based on retail prices, so the CM lanyards and the up pin values are not included, but it does include the price of the two UK lanyards and the TV boxset and Jack online set that are not pictured, I only hope that if we need to we could recoup most of that.
Job for today - sort through all our dupes :roll: I know we have about 6 grape soda pins alone, maybe we could ebay them and retire. hehe
£777 in pins!!!!! wow thats a lot!!!!!
QuoteI know we have about 6 grape soda pins alone, maybe we could ebay them and retire. hehe
ooooo how much would you charge for them as I never got it but I do want it!!!
so how is coming to the Milton Keynes Pin Day next saturday?? iam excited
:) I'm going to the Milton Keynes event.
jealous of you lindsay, hope you have a blast at the event :)
I just got soo excited from seeing a mystery set for the UK on pinpics...then was so let down by what the pins are -
These sets of 4 random Pins from a selection of 10 On-line Exclusives are fantastic value at just £25! Which ones will you get? It's a mystery! One thing that is certain, every mystery set comes with a free Disney/Pixar UP Pin!
Each set includes four of the following On-line Limited Edition Disney pins featuring some of your favourite characters:
* Robin Hood in Nottingham #Pin 72028
* Peter Pan flying past Big Ben #Pin 72030
* Pinocchio & Jiminy Cricket #Pin 69144
* Mr Ray with Friends #Pin 70151
* Mickey Mouse with Tugboat #Pin 69145
* Alice with Tweedledee & Tweedledum #Pin70152
* Chin 'n' Dale #Pin 68046
* Mickey Mouse Sorcerers Apprentice #Pin 68051
* Stitch in Rocket #Pin 68053
* Tinker Bell on Cloud #Pin 68054
Not that great of a mystery set since its just there way of getting rid of stock.
i thought exactly the same with the mystery pins - but then thought knowing my luck i would get the ones ive already got
I understand it would work out a bit cheaper but since they are available to buy on there own anyway then would be alot easier to buy them that way than try to save a few £££ as its not like they are offering a second chance to get the on-line exclusives since they are still available to buy on there own, it would appeal more (i think) if the mystery pins would be of past sold out pins.
i also think its a shame that there doing this to get rid of old stock,it would be fantastic to get a proper mystery set,would be fun collecting.
Just want to wish everyone good luck at the event saturday,just wish i was goin too.

im so so so so jealous of everyone goin to the event.if anyone gets a spare shield set and wants to trade/part trade/sell me a set i would be very greatful.
im also after some of the early uk test pins from 2008 if anyone sees them while trading,
Pin 64417: Disney Store Europe - Cars - Lightning McQueen
Pin 64419: Disney Store Europe - 101/102 Dalmatians - Puppy Red Collar
Pin 62830: Disney Store Europe - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Pin 62825: Disney Store Europe - Alice in Wonderland - Unbirthday Party
Pin 62843: Disney Store Europe - Squirt the Sea Turtle
Pin 72822: Disney Store Europe - 101 Dalmatians - Hiding Under Bridge
Pin 64418: Disney Store Europe - Toy Story - Buzz Lightyear
Pin 68560: Disney Store Europe: Alice and the Cheshire Cat
i hope someone posts a review of the day with pictures
I agree, I hope we get a mystery set soon, but if they go off the sales of this mystery set then we might not get another but thats down to them shifting old stock and not us wanting to buy it as we would if they were new pins :)
and if we get a mystery set Id like to see low LEs like the DS.com ones
Does anyone know if the stores are likely to get any more nametag pins in as i am still looking for the Mickey pin.
Also which up pin is free with the set of 4 mystery UK online exclusives? Is it just the Vue cinema pin?

Hey Guys, if you want to read about the pin event earlier today, or just look at photos lol I have a mini report over in Blue Lagoon ... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9100 (https://forum.dlpguide.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9100%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
heres a little pic of the shield...

Well this time at the Disney Store I ended up with one purchase and five trades.. :mrgreen:
Here is the purchase, which I really like.. Pinocchio's 70 Anniversary, I must admit I wasn't expecting the arms to move, also it's only £5.00, I thought it might have been £7.00.. :o
(//http://images18.fotki.com/v458/photos/1/1220156/5417448/FilmPinocchio70thAinniversary-vi.jpg)
Now for the trades, some of which Jen picked, I'll let you guess those ones.. :mrgreen:
Just one short for this 'Kite Collection' now, and guess who.... :(

I couldn't believe my final trade, I got talking to Victoria (CM) and the time we called into the store, I remember that night she had the lanyard round her neck with all the 'Character Name Tag' Pins on. Foolish me said I'll have to get some Pins to trade next week and come back, only to find they had been snapped up like hotcakes. Bang went the theory of getting Donald.. :cry: Then she thought for a minute and said, "Hang on a minute, if I remember rightly I remember seeing one in the draw, it's in one of the envelopes at the bottom I think". She raked through and sure enough found the last Donald one they had. I couldn't believe my luck.. :o
Whooo Hooo.. :D/ :D/ :mrgreen:
This one is going to take pride and place on the lanyard I use for DLRP.. :D
(//http://images53.fotki.com/v535/photos/1/1220156/5417448/DonaldDuckDisneyNameTag-vi.jpg)
Its a very nice set and wish I could of made it, whenever the next one is Im going to come to it, as I would have to get the coach anyway as I dont fly, so I can travel over night and be there bright and early hahaha
I hope the next pin event is closer to me as i am cheap atm!! lol It looked like a big success and i wish i could of made it!!
:) I traded the new core Simba pin off the lanyard in Manchester today. It's so cute!
Just seen on facebook, that there may be suspected scrappers of the Easter Thumber UK pin. Seems from the comparison images (thankyou Donna) that it points to it has been scrapped. Hope not but all signs pint to yes.
Gutted i missed out on Milton Keynes. Wasn't that kean on the shield set to be honest but the trading and buying opportunities were fantastic.
going on a short notice trip to lakeside tomorrow - first ever trading there. Then in 2 weeks plan to hit all 3 disney stores in London again.
Ro
ooh doing a bit of travelling arnt ya Ro :) hope you get more good trades like last time.
I shall be seeing what the Belfast Store is like in september but not holding out for anything :P
Here are the pins i traded for in lakeside to keep:

I love the Simba pin.
decided to delay the London trip for a couple of weeks as i have had my trading fix for now!
Luv the violet pin as well as Simba!:)
I sooooooo want simba!!I heard that the shield will be avalible on the website at the end of the month!!! its good for people who werent able to go and its bad for the people who spent all that time waiting for they're shields!! I wonder if they are signed :)

Hey Sean, were did you hear that?
hey Javey, its true, its on the coming soon section for release on 30th April, its all over facebook lol and people getting a little miffed cause its online now lol.
wow they couldnt be LE200 then cud they because quite a few people would have bought them that day meaning there wouldn't be that many left!
How much was it to buy on the day??
I am not surprised people are miffed.
it was and still is LE200 as there was around 50 people there and there was 100 of the sets left over, so my maths is everyone who went bought 1 or 2. I think it was £50 on the day.

:o £50...dont think i will be getting it then lol trying to save my pennies at the moment
:? Your lack of understanding is annoying me a bit Danny. Fair enough you might not agree with people who want to be annoyed about it, but it's not a "lol" situation. As I've said on FaceBook, I most likely would've ended up going either way. What I'm annoyed at is the fact that Disney have seemingly mislead people. If they would've said from the beginning that any remaining sets would be made available online, people could've taken that into account.
Oh, and the set was £45.

I dont want to argue with you Lindsay, but I do understand where people are coming from with this situation, for some they took time off, arranged babysitters and travelled all that way in such short notice and yes they have a right to be annoyed.
Im not trying to annoy anyone with what I say as I added the lol to to turn it from being a bad situation on disney part. so sorry if you got annoyed.
At the end of the day, if they sold the remaining sets on the day we would no doubt see ebay crammed with the extra ones, if they sent the remaining sets to other stores people who came from that area that attended the event wouldnt be to happy, so really Disney would of been at fault any which way they went about it since they didnt mention what they would be doing with the sets that were ramaining.
i bought the UK disney store mystery pin set last week and thought it was really good value :)
i was happy with the pins i recieved - pinnochio, ray with nemo, robin hood and peter pan (my favourite!!) but they forgot to send me the up pin :(
so i sent an email yesterday and they replied straight away to apologise and send it in the post today :) so i just wanted to say well done disney store :) for good customer service and for sorting it out straight away :) i was happy with that!
Well, they won't be selling it online now, which I think is only fair. If they want to sell future event sets online, I won't have a problem with that at all as long as they say so before the event takes place. As for the remaining sets, I think they should be saved and sold at the next event. :)
The 'coming soon' section of the pins has disappeared, I hope its just being changed.
it was gone yesterday and hope it comes back tomorrow so we can see what is coming out.
Still not back yet. :( Annoying. Remember when it went down the last time?
its back now :) but with nothing exciting I think.

Sword series Im still picking up as traders (thanks to my mum lol) but the core pins are not great I think.
i like the rex pin and its about time that they started doin some core pins of other main disney characters.hope they do a donald and goofy.
Im all for new characters lol but wish when we do get a new character it wouldnt be a pin design that came out ages ago, as there is already a Rex pin exactly like the one we will be getting lol
And I find it weird to get Dale on his own without Chip, as chip will most doubt be the next core pin shown to complete the two
I'm not a fan of the sword series so i am finding the pins a little boring at the moment but to be honest that's a good thing as at least it's saving me money!
Im not collecting thw sword series, Im getting them as traders, and I think its a good set to have as traders as they seem popular with the amount of people wanting them :P But I think its a good pin series just not one I will keep.
Out of the Core pins, the only one I actually like is Lady. :( Not at all keen on the other two.
I like the lady pin but not keen on the other core pins so I won't be getting those. I only like 2 of the sword series pins so I may get them for my own collections. I definately want the mulan one when it comes out and I kind of like the aladdin one but not fully sure yet. i'm glad nothing great has come out as I am saving my pennies hehe
I think instead of buying UKDS pins, im buying DLRP pins on the mail order service! I'm going to be buying 7 (so i have been told) Stitch experiment series pins for my B day (yey 25 days!!!) and i will also be buying lots of stitch stuff!!! Sorry for being of topic!!

cool lol :) do you know how mcuh they charge for postage?
I remember when I was in DLP the last time i asked a guy in the disney gallery in the villiage how much it would cost to get a snowglobe posted to the uk, lets just say he wasnt very helpful or friendly, plus I was enquiring, i wasnt definate that i was going to do it but i got the feeling that he was only going to find out for me if I was actually going to buy the 100 or more euro globe. :roll:
I'm only buying pins I really want, i have sold quite a lot and probably will sell more lol
Ive been thinking of doing mail order as a woman in Harringtons told michael about it for the other stitch experiment pins so I might give it a go if the postage is cheap.
Hello not poste on here in a while...
I looked into the mail order thing for WDW pins it was v.expensive so I didn't bother - I'm sure Paris will be a better deal. I'm thinking of getting the rest of the sword series as they're released as traders for my trip to WDW in 6 wks I'm not sure though...
Quote from: "Stitch2814"Ive been thinking of doing mail order as a woman in Harringtons told michael about it for the other stitch experiment pins so I might give it a go if the postage is cheap.
ah ok cool. I couldnt imagine postage being too dear for pins really :) Harringtons staff were great when I traded in there :D
Well as usual I was at our local Disney Store and ended up with 2 purchases and 1 trade. Here they are.. :)
Firstly two 'Film Pins' you'll be familiar with.. :)

...What a trade.. :D/ I was actually looking at this same Pin on Ebay about a month ago, which I missed the dead line for the auction, only to find it up for trade on a lanyard last night.. :mrgreen:

:-# Trade Secret :-# Only joking... :mrgreen:
If you really want to know I use the following pieces of equipment and software.. ;)
A Fujifilm S1000fd.(//http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc266/javey74/fuji_s1000fd_frontback.jpg)
Tripod.(//http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc266/javey74/camera_tripod.jpg)
Matt black plastic coated mouse mat.
[Must be matt to absorb natural light, so it cuts down on reflectivity](//http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc266/javey74/MP-BLACK.jpg)
MGI Photosuite 3 [Platinum Edition].(//http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc266/javey74/51lvb8E870L__SL500_AA280_.jpg)
Now your ready.. :thumbs:
The pin is placed onto the mouse mat with the camera placed over the top of it looking down using the vertical hinge clamp on the tripod, then locked up in position. The camera lens is about 4" above the pin, these are the following camera settings>>
QuoteThe 'ISO' needs dropping right down to 100.
Also set to 'Slow Flash' mode to allow slightly longer exposure, this will maintain natural light ambience with no flash glare.
'Macro Editor' [not Super 'Macro editor'] is set to on.
Half press for 'Auto Focus' then..........Voila.. Click.. Done :thumbs:
Then the card is removed from the camera and put into the relevant slot on my Computer Tower and MGI Photosuite is opened up. The photo is loaded on and then the following happens>>
QuoteThe Photo is firstly cropped, and rotated slightly if necessary.
Then 'Enhanced', sometimes Brightness and Contrast still need adjusting.
Then 'Saturation' levels are adjusted for colour depth.
Most importantly 'Scratch Removal' function is used which takes away spiky light on metallic surfaces and surface imperfections.
If required the 'Cloning Tool' is used to remove any discolourations aswell as any previously left holes from other Pins on the mouse mat.
Then it's ready for uploading the my relevant sites.. :thumbs:
That's it in a nut shell, well maybe apart from a few other slight technical adjustments.. :mrgreen:
Bet you wished you'd never asked.. :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:
Woah, I kind of know how to do all that!! And the thing is my mum has this EXACT camera so I may try this!! Won't get the same effect as you do lol!! :D
Quote from: "dlrpmad"Woah, I kind of know how to do all that!! And the thing is my mum has this EXACT camera so I may try this!! Won't get the same effect as you do lol!! :D
You can always have a go anyway.. :thumbs:
I traded for this old UK Disney Store pin yesterday.
(//http://www.pinpics.com/img/p341/pin17084)
:D It's so pretty. *Loves glitter*
thats a nice pin Lindsay :) Me do like pins with glitter on aswell :P
here is new pins -
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/newreleases-2.jpg)
I was hoping the next sowrd pin would of been Mulan lol but guess its one I want it would have to be released last hahaha another online exlusive I wont be getting as wouldnt be able to afford it.
Hy danny, I am the same with the Mulan one, although I like the aladdin one. I'mnot buying pins at the moment though anyway hehe! I am not keen on the online exclusive, you would think they would make the online exclusives a lot nicer since they are expensive! That one is very plain, as most have been! :roll:
I like the Black Cauldron sword pin but Im only not picking it up for myself as I really dont want to spread out into other areas LOL.
The best online pin I think has to be the tinkerbell in the lantern as that one looks the nicest of the online exlcusives and seems the most popular.
:( Ew, Goofy pin. Not impressed by anything that's Coming Soon now except for the Sword pins.
It has been getting a bit boring lately on the UK pin front especially as i am not interested in the sword series. I'm going to London on 12th June so hope to pick up some of the core range from the lanyards to save some money.
im glad they are finally doing a goofy core pin.i agree the online pin doesnt look that special.
Hi,
It's nice to see Disney Store finally branching out with regards to the core pins. Although I have to agree with Masamune and saw eeuw in regards to the Goofy pin. And disagree with daxyboy about the online pin. I like this pin, its very cute and will trade very well in Paris me thinks. They seem to like Chip'n'Dale out there.
Our local Disney Store can be a bit slow in regards to trading off the lanyards. They don't always wear them so people just arn't getting the message that they trade there. I have been chatting to a few people I have met who trade in my store and we're hoping the next pin event will be a bit more central and at the end of the month, when we all get paid.
At the moment I have been trading through Pin pics but it doesn't have the same appeal as trading with actual people. I can't wait until my next holiday to DLRP.
:) Today I traded for 3 of the latest Core pins: Ariel with Flounder, Snow White with Forest Friends and Lady. Very pleased with all these trades, as once again they were not Core pins I wanted to buy, but I'll keep them now that I've traded for them. :D The Ariel pin is totally gorgeous.
been to the disney store saturday and traded for the core Lady pin and the Genie core pin and I traded for the dopey and the newest tinkerbell core pin today. These will be kept for my trip to trade in DLRP :P
Coming Soon has been updated! All that's new other than the Mulan pin are two Core pins: yet another Tink pin (although the artwork is quite different for this one) and a pin of Agent P from Phineas and Ferb. Once again, not at all impressed by the new pins other than the Sword pins.
here is the imageof the new pins
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/new-2.jpg)
very disappointed in what is coming soon. we dont need another tink pin core pin and why we would want a phineas and ferb pin I do not know as it looks crap nd waste of a good pin that we could of had.
Granted, the Tink pin looks SOOOOOOO tacky, I love agent P pin!!! Phineas and Ferb ,i think, is one of the best shows to come out of Disney Channel in ages (plus its animation). So, Bring on Perry the Platypus!!!
Hi everyone,
Just went in to town to get the Rex and Dale pins. They're soooo cute!!!!! Our store only had ten of each pins in and they'd practically sold out when I got there at 9.15am!!!! I managed to get three of each. Didn't bother with the sword series because I have a brilliant friend who got me a shield from Milton Keynes.
Must agree with some of the comments about the coming soon pins. I have only watched one episode of Phineas and Ferb and that was only because I had been into the local store and had that annoying little song 'Little Brothers' in my head that the sister sings and had to eradicate it. Its almost as toxic as It's a small world's song. (And I like that ride). Why they've made a pin of the platypus I haven't a clue :?:
But I like the Tink pin. As anyone who's looked at my collection on pinpics would know. I'm a bit of a Tink fan.
Have a Disney day guys.
Phineas and Ferb is one the most popular franchises at the moment and the merchandise sells out in next to no time according to cast members ( i know i had to visit 3 stores to get a perry the platypus plushie ) There is an agent P plushie coming soon too. Phineas and Ferb is one of the best shows i have seen in a long time and the humour is spot on, so i am glad there is an Agent P pin although im surprised it has gone into the core range and not LE - i now hope they follow it up with more characters - i would love a doofensmirtz and candace pin!!!! Agent P / Perry the platypus stuff costs a fortune on ebay at the moment so glad to see uk disneystore getting their merch right :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
Some Pin purchases over the last few weeks.. ;)

i recently trased for these in store
(//http://i45.tinypic.com/33joewy.jpg)
I really like the little lanyard one with the mickey on, seen as my lanyard is jsut for mickey :)
Hi,
Recently bought a job lot of twenty pins on e-bay and had a lanyard pin in amongst them. Very cute. Also got a Purple Puffle from penguin club and although I wouldn't normally go for something like that it now holds pride of place on my jacket. :)
Not much out this month in DLRP. Does anyone else think that the cutie princess pins are just a little creepy?
Seeing as there were only two pins out this month that I actually wanted I had to buy some open editions to go into my trades. Such a hardship :lol:
Have a Disney day everyone
Wendy
Traded the Goofy pin today instore and also got a name tag Donald.
The new Goofy is sooo tiny but much better than the picture.
Hi All,
Great trading yesterday got these to trade with other people, they seem to go quite well via pinpics:
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC03954-1.jpg)
Also got these for me:

Fantillusion pin is fantastic as we were actually there that day!
Ro
:mrgreen: WOW which store do you trade in to get that lot? LOL
I'm lucky to get one trade in my local store.
Hoping to get up to London this weekend and do the Pin Trading Tour. Weather permitting and if I can drag my hubby away from the footie he he.
I cant wait for my trip to DLRP as we be doing the London stores before and after our trip :D I can see how you got them Ro as in the Manchester store Ive had 3 Lady pins, 2 (newest) tink pins lol

We were in London so did the Westfield shopping centre at White City (2 lanyards), Bond Street (3 lanyards) and Covent Garden (2lanyards) and there was 2 of us so we came away with 28 pins which i was very happy with.
that is a good haul lol hope I can get some last trades in before I head to DLRP :P just have to find all the stores hahaha can you get to them without a car or transport??
Quote from: "Stitch2814"that is a good haul lol hope I can get some last trades in before I head to DLRP :P just have to find all the stores hahaha can you get to them without a car or transport??
It depends where you are staying in London. You can walk between the Bond Street store and Covent Garden store it's a fair walk but we did it last weekend. Thw White City you have to get a tube. Bond Street and White City are both on the central line. They are really easy to find i would use yell to get some maps if you plan on walking.
Ro
Yay!
We're off to London on Sunday to do some trading so will take your advice Ro :thumbs:. Hubby can wear a lanyard aswell. :lol:
He surprised me today. Got home from work to find a kissing Naveen sitting on my bed. He's sooo cute.
Naveen is cute to he he he.
Got some core pins to trade.
My stained glass butterfly pin from Epcot arrived the other day. It's so gorgeous. It came on a green back which is embedded with wildflower seeds. You soak the back in water then plant it and watch them grow.
Hopefully I'll get some cool pins in London.
Will let you know.
Have a Disney day/evening
Wendy
Yesterday evening's purchase.. :mrgreen:
(//http://images114.fotki.com/v1606/photos/1/1220156/5417448/FilmSwordSeriesHercules-vi.jpg)
Hi everyone in Pin trading land,
Well we went to London on Sunday and travelled round the stores. Met a lovely little girl who has just started trading and is off to DLP today, lucky thing :mrgreen: with her family. Gave them some advice about pin trading and where the best places are.
Traded four pins in total which is not as good as Ro but we were just trading for our collection and not for trading so I guess we did ok :) .
Passed the Lyceum on our way back to Waterloo and popped into the shop there. And whilst I was purchasing some pins and chatting to the girls my hubby was watching the Hyenas from the show going backwards and forwards to the stage, via the foyer which seemed odd but he enjoyed it.
No new pins at the Lion King, just the standard oblong yellow with the logo and Simba's face. Which was a shame because we haven't been to the show for almost two years and was hoping for some different ones.
Well I have just spent an hour checking my trades and putting my new pins on. I got three hidden mickeys, an Ariel, Ursula and Lost boys. And a Tink which looks a lot like a hidden mickey but isn't.
Got my Scrump annual pass holder pin saturday which is sooo cute...
TTFN
Wendy
here are the new releases for the Disney Store.
(//http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh51/Nintendanboo/newreleases-3.jpg)
Im happy to see the Stitch pirate pin as shows the concept art shown at the Milton keynes event are coming out, so theres finally a pin I need to get.
Not keen on the 7 Dwarves online pin, even though I wouldnt want it but for those that do I hope its a biggish pin as I dont think it would do it justice if its a small pin as the ones Ive seen previouly have been Jumbo's...
Now the one I am just not happy with at all, I dont see the point in the Puffle set whats so ever and its a complete waste of a LE spot in my opinion.
I would of picked it up for traders as thats all I see them going to be, but I cant since there only available at certain stores and not in the Belfast one...well done Disney! the stores are below where they will be available.
Bluewater, Brighton, Covent Garden, Liverpool, Oxford Street, Trafford Centre, Westfield
I really like the stitch pin too but i'm not keen on any of the rest of them really but I am not complaining at the moent as I dont have much money to spend on pins lol
Hiya Everyone sorry been ages since been on here i've been very busy,i will get round to doing a report on my pin trading experiences on our DLRP trip,have started a trip report already just i had to have last few days off work due to illness but feeling much better now!
I'm really liking the new pins due to be released although not many i want for my personal collection bet alot of them will be popular as traders :D
:( My computer is currently broke, so I'm not online much at all now.
According to PinPics, a Pluto pin has been released today as a Surprise. It's the same as the Donald Anniversary dangle pin they did, although for some reason the Pluto pin is £7 instead of £5. Not worth it in my opinion. In regards to the new releases, there's nothing there now that I want. I'm kinda tempted by the Stitch pin, but we'll see.
Got that Pluto pin today. I will try to upload picture but haven't managed to do that yet. It is really cute.
Evening All,
Got the Pluto pin today which is so cute. Also got the Agent P although not sure yet if I'm going to keep it.
Got a nice surprise when I got up this morning. My trades from USA arrived. Two limited editions and one open.
Stitch Imagineering pin no74511 He's inside a green stocking opening a christmas present and his tongue is sticking out. Soo cute.
A Maleficent 50th anniversary pin artists choice no64359. And a Tink sitting on a cloud no 75696
Then I get home from work to find Simon has been buying on E-Bay and I am now the proud owner of DLRP pin trading night Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen. =D>
And he's been online today. Spending the points collected from Disney DVD's and got 2 of the Up pin which was given away to Vue customers.
And he's got the pin released at last nights pin trading night :D/ which has Angel on it, sooo cute!!!!
I'm a spoilt bunny :D
Have a Disney evening
Wendy
has anyone got the 80th anniversary pluto pin to tradealso the online exclusive with chip and dale if so let me know,my pinpics id is daxsmith. thanks
Hi my new pin :)
This pin has been giving to all disneystore cast members, its to celebrate the imagination park :)
<br><center> (//http://i48.tinypic.com/2vwbwyc.jpg)
the Pluto pin is quite nice, might have to see if they still have it at the Belfast store when we go in September. Hopefully there will be more nice pins to get by then for trading fodder at DLRP in Jan :P
Where is the imagination park store?
tbh I dont know anything about it, I was jsut handed this the other day at work and told it opened a few days ago. It's a really nice pin though, and assume only store cast get this, in celebration of it.
also can i just ask, did anyone see the new tink pin in stores this weekend?
the new tink pin didnt come out for some strange reason.
Quote from: "Eager_Eyes"Where is the imagination park store?
hi I found out that its the new disney store in calafornia, they are completly redoing the disney store chain across europe and america, and this is what they get renamed, the new stores are gonna be amazing and are nothing like what they are now, this topic tells you all about it, its so exciting
//http://www.photosmagiques.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=7282
Thanks for finding out, it looks pretty cool. One day I'd like to go and see it.

Hey Stitch2814
At the moment Belfast isnt stocking pins due to the size of the temp store. But the new IP store should hopefully (due to open mid aug) be open when u next visit belfast and we hope to have pins back in! :D
Nadine
Another two purchases.. ;)

went to york store today and got the new jimminy cricket pin which is amazin,also got the last pluto 80th anniversary pin,so glad as i really wanted this.also got the core goofy and minnie.i wanted the agent p but they had none.the store was empty,the cms were not that keen on trading
Got the new minniw mouse one to add to the rest DS have done :D wish they'd do a few more mickeys :D maybe in different costumes like you can buy from the parks :D
(//http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac347/natashalorraine/pins_mainwk40.jpg)
Strange how the tink one is now coming out in august :/ i really like the oliver and co one :D
not keen on any of the releases apart from the stitch one other than that they dont interest me.
I really wouldnt want no more mickeys or minnies or princess' (only if Tiana) and no more fab 5. We have enough of them for now, why cant they stray away from the norm and give us some Jessica pins, UP pins, Princess and the Frog, Toy Story 3 etc etc instead of just re-makes of pins from the parks.
Hoping the next release will fair much much better.
ah you see i love the mickey and minnie pins :D its what i collect aswell as event/attraction/year pins but not gonna get them at DS. So I'm only every interested in the mickey and minnie. I like the new theme at the ds with the old comic stip on the boxes, bags, cups and with the plush so would love to see some old style mickey and minnies, I didnt like the le ones out before with a little scene from the old mickey cartoons :/
once again disneystore hasnt released pins for upcomin films.would love some toy story 3 pins,its not like they dont know when films are comin out.would be great to get countdown pins and opening day pins for films

I agree. It's so frustrating when they do this. I was really looking forward to getting some Princess and the Frog pins but Oh No, nothing :(
They really need to address this. But I think I read somewhere that the UK DS's aren't allowed to get certain merchandise before the states. Don't know how true this is but if it is...It sucks :(

Lol, I'm a genius! OK, look that this link people:

But that, sadly, is as far as it goes. :) I totally love the White Rabbit pin, I bet that will be a decent trader.
I want the Sheriff Woody pin!!
:shock: OMG!!!The Stitch as a pirate pin is, to quote Rhino "Totally AWESOME". As are you Masamune for discovering the secret to upcoming releases :thumbs:
Wendy
:) That Stitch pin isn't just any Pirate, it's Captain Jack Sparrow!
OMG Another stitch pirate pin, but ten times better cause he's Jack sparrow!!! And I also want woody's badge!! We are getting a lot of of good pins at the moment!!
:D/ OMG. OMG.
Stitch as Jack Sparrow. Must have this pin!!!!! :stitch_bounce: OOOh I'm all of a dither :lol:
Have you guys been on the US Disney store website? Massive sale on pins. Starting from $6... And so many Stitch's.
Just go on Disneystore.com and prepare to drool!!!! I did.
Sorry bensmum. The temptation is there. :oops:
Wendy
I went to DS.com...and went nuts. o-o; I bought...a lot. It would've been more, but other pins that I wanted had sold out already.
Hi Guys can I ask what were the postage rates like from DS.com?
I got stung for £13 import tax on Pins from US a few weeks ago...£5 tax and £8 collection fee from Post Office( I think thats right anyway) Made my purchase very expensive. :x
Well done Masamune :thumbs:
Am going to pick up the new stitch pin today and maybe a few le pins to trade for dlrp! Will post pics later!
Well done Lindsay at finding the next lot of releases :D we are getting some fab pins being released spending so much at the mo :oops:
Bens mum i ordered some pins from Ds.com 25in total and 2dolls shipping was just over $99 and i got charged just over £58 when it got here for customs and Ups charge some of the pins were for a friend so we split all the charges by dividing by amount of items to work out an amount per item,it was expensive but i have pins that i couldn't seem to trade for via Pinpics/would of probably cost me alot more if i did trade.
Sean look forward to seeing pics,we ordered our pins yesterday as nearest store about hour and half drive away now so delivery charge is cheaper than fuel/parking costs
Aloha,
Got my Stitch pin today. He's sooo cute!!! Also ordered some online pins. Can't wait to see the dwarves pin.
Didn't bother with the Puffle set. Too expensive and not really a Puffle person. Probably regret it later but I have my Stitch so I'm happy :D/
Wendy

Another purchase, and who whould have thought 80 years old ehh!!! :o

Hi All,
Back from Yorkshire. Before i went i agreed several pre-trades 1 for core lady and 4 for Agent P. Then the week before we went i read how York had run out of Agent P so i rang the Leeds and Meadowhall stores and sure enough both had run out altjough did say they get deliveries every day and did not know which pins would come in. So i was not very hopeful.
Tuesday came and we went to Leeds not many pins on display at all and the lady who i traded with the lanyards with just looked like she didn't want to be there! Then i asked if they ahd any other pins and they went out back and found 6 Agent P so i bought them all!

Then yesterday on the way home we went to Meadowhall and again the selection was not good and they were not into pin trading, both lanyards seemed to have the same pins. Here is my collection from the 2 trips:

unfortunately no Pluto 80th dangle but we are going to london in 2 weeks so you never know. I can't wait for the oliver pin, Aristocats dangle or Captain Jack Stitch!

When i went back in November i thought Meadowhall was the best Disney shop i had been to, the CM was really into pin trading and they had so many past pins, 2 pin boards full. This time however there were very few pins for sale, the cm's were not interested and the 2 lanyards had pretty much the same pins on. A lot of high school musical. I guess the experience you have really depends on the CM and the stock so they can't always be perfect.
I have certainly found the Agent P pin to be a greta trader. There are about 40 people wanting it on pinpics and only about 16 trading. As i said i have already set up 4 trades. 1 is a LE Beauty and the Beast pin, 1 a 3d Beauty and the Beast pin that i have been wanting for a long time, 1 is Stitch as the Emperor the last pin i need to finish that collection and the third is 2 cogsworth pins for the 1 Agent P. I will post pictures when i get them.
We didn't go near hull, although i do get around the country. I have done all 3 London stores, Lakeside, Manchester, Sheffield, and Leeds and will be doing York early next year!
Ro
Hiya Ro at least you got a stitch pirate they are sure to go fasr!With the selection of pins at stores you have to keep in mind that all stores nationwide sent all pin to the event at Milton Keynes in April so you probably won't find pins pre dating that anywhere :( unless very lucky look forward to hearing how you do in London in a few weeks :D
Guys dont know what were doing wrong but we cant seem to put any photo's on the forum :twisted: could someone write an idiots guide :thumbs:
thanks :P
Im an idiot as well but i'll do my best to explain (without confusing you!!)
First you need to upload the photos to photobucket.com, you'll need an account if you already havent got one.
Once that is done, click on the image in the album and it will make it actual size and bring up some info on the side in a box called Share this image. you want to copy the text in the IMG Code box and paste it in your message.
when you click submit it should show your image on the thread!
I hope this didnt confuse you too much!
but heres an example:
im finally going to put up the image of my stitch pin!!

Hi All,
Traded in the Disney Store Oxford Street and Covent Garden for the following keepers:
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC04145.jpg)
and the following to trade again:
(//http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af224/louthr/DSC04146.jpg)
unfortunately the CM's in Oxford Street do not seem to know much about pin trding as there are lots of Euro Disney and carrefour pins on the lanyards. Covent Garden was much better as this was where i picked up Stitch Christmas, That's so Raven dangle which reminds me of our trips to DLRP as it was always on TV and Chicken Little oh and the Mickey with jewels pin.
Looking forward to Bluewater next week, will be the first time i have traded there and the last time i trade in store until our trip to DLRP in Oct! How will i survive? Lots of pinpics trades i think!
Ro
Hi All,
So back from Bluewater trip, only 2 lanyards and not very good pins on them, however after i had seen the CM with the first lanyard the manager came up to me with the second lanyard and said they ahd some CM pins out back if i was interested so i said yes please. She went and came back with a paper bag with around 20 cm pins, i picked Mickey to finish my collection but also got some others for trade as well as another Agent P for trade. Great day!
Ro
:lol: You love your Agent P pins don't you? I've traded for two so far and added them to my Traders on PinPics.
Quote from: "Masamune" :lol: You love your Agent P pins don't you? I've traded for two so far and added them to my Traders on PinPics.
I think Agent P is an ok pin but i have had some really good trades from people in America who were desperate for him, i think he's been a really good trader.
Ro
I will like to pick a few of him up when Im back in the UK in november (thats if Ro hasnt got them all XD) as he might be good in paris for the lanyards...the stitch as Jack Sparrow seems to be highly popular so he looks to be a good trader already.

If thats the case, i'll be getting a few (10, lol) plus one for me and one for my sis as an early birthday pressie!

That's my plan of action aswell to get as many as possible.
Got a really cute Stitch pin today from E-bay. It's got Stitch, Reuben and a duckling visiting Stitch's Ohana Village. Sooo cute!!!! Also got a jumbo Mulan pin (Film Frame series).
As some of you might know from reading my other post there is a pin meet in Southampton 22nd August 10.30.
At least 18/20 traders will be there so we've been allocated tables outside the store in the Mall.
Everyone welcome!!!! :D/
Another film pin purchase.. ;)
Oliver & Company>>

Can't wait for the new Woody Sherrif's Badge and 101 Dalmations pin to come out now!!
Does anybody know what releases are in store for October? I was looking at the Lion King Simba and Rafiki slider that was unveiled at Milton Keynes and wondered if anybody also knew an approximate release date?
With Christmas and Halloween impending I hope that we see some nice Jack Skellington and Nightmare Before Christmas pins coming out. Maybe a nice set like has been released in America.
Finally, if anybody has a 15 year anniversary Lion King pin that they are willing to trade or sell then please give me a nudge!
Thanks,
Martin
:) Do you mean this one?
(//http://www.pinpics.com/img/p1411/pin70554)
If so, I have this pin up for trade. Feel free to check out my Wants under Masamune.
That's the one, will have a look at your wants now! :)
Regards,
Martin
:D I have quite a few Wants, so hopefully you have something there.
Unfortunately I don't have any of your wants..
..Well I have the Mickey as Jack Skellington but that is part of my NBC collection.
I see you like your Cheshire Cat, I only have the LE200 Lollipop pin. :lol:
I'll keep an eye out for interesting cat pins when trading as I do want the Lion King pin.
Would you consider selling it or is it trade only?
Thanks so much for your help.
Martin
:) I'll send you a message.
Thanks for your reply! :)

and theres no sign of them online yet
I know, I did consider buying Woody and some others offline and I can not believe that they have not put it for sale yet.
I am also hoping the coming soon pins section will change, we have been stuck with the same page (bar date alterations) for an age!!! Would like to see a couple of core pins and a LE this afternoon please!!!
Martin
they have only just become available
Are they online??
I can't find them anywhere other than coming soon... :(
woody (//http://www.disneystore.co.uk/coming-soon-woodys-sherrif-badge-pin/p/28829/307201/)
Dalmations (//http://www.disneystore.co.uk/coming-soon-101-dalmatian-pin/p/28833/307201/)
if you want to pay overpriced postage costs
Thankyou, need to decide now wether to do a big order or just go to store on Monday/Thursday?
A bit dissapointed with the edition size again. Why can't we have LE200/300/400. We will probably see this pin in a future offer like the Bugs Life and Sword series Mulan and Hercules.
I think a LE 200/300 would create a great stir of interest, because people would be getting to the Disney Store first thing in the morning to get one!! Would be really fun, especially if each store recieved one/two/three/four pins!!
Martin
New pin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
//http://www.disneystore.co.uk/collectibles-pins/disney-pins/coming-soon/c/307201/
No Halloween ones though....
Yay!! Beauty and the Beast!
but why no Halloween? they are missing out on BIG opportunities here, come on Disney get your act together! do some marketing research and find out what the people want!

They would have to release in every DS on the same day to do that, its too much hard work for the poor dears.
But I agree it would cause interest and would eliminate the surplus of pins that they accumulate.
Im liking the beauty and the beast pin but not enjoying yet ANOTHER mickey core pin..think its too hard a concept for the disney team to think we might want someone else other than mickey grrrrrr!
and we might get halloween pins as the next release should be the 22nd October which is closer to halloween so let keep our fingers crossed
With all the Halloween merchandise out now I thought it would be better to release the Halloween pins at the beginning of October. I think that from the 22nd-31st there is just over a week when any members of the public or new pin traders would want to buy the pin, come the first of November they won't be interested in Halloween. I see DLRP have already released Christmas, Halloween and New Year pins!!
Martin
when it comes to Disneystore.com they normally release there halloween pins mid-october and are VERY popular so if we get any tink dressed as a witch etc she will be wanted even if its a core pin XD
OMG I love the Beauty and the Beast pin. It's released the day we come back from DLRP HAVE TO HAVE IT!
Ro
I think the beauty and the beast pin has a dome over the rose similar to the stitch in dome pin released a bit ago. It looks like it from the image but I could be wrong lol but be cool if it was.
That's what I thought too!
Would be very good if this is the case. Certainly looks like it!!
Also, not sure on Mickey. Why ANOTHER mickey core pin??
Bring on Aristocats and Stitch as Jack Sparrow now!!!
Martin :)
I'm going to Cite Europe on Saturday so i will be able to let everyone know what kind of pins if any they sell in the Disney store there. I think they do not trade but i'm taking my lanyards to be on the safe side but i have heard that pins are sometimes available so i will wait and see!
Ro
Hi All,
Unfortunately the Disney Store at Cite Europe neither sells or trades pins. The Disney Stores in Rome and Venice do not either. I find this a bit strange esp in France as you would assume there would be more traders there as they are nearer the parks.
Ro
Yaaaay!!! :thumbs: :thumbs:
Hunchback of Notre Dame pin!!! Thankyou Disney!!!
Not sure about another Mickey pin though!! I wish the Hunchback pin was in store and the mickey online!
Oh well, at least there is a glorious new pin coming soon!
Will also get the Mad Hatter one! Very cool..
Martin
the mad hatter pin is a tad late and should of been released in store when the film was released in cinema or DVD and either that or the Hunchback pin should be instore and not both online as thats not fair to those who collect UK pins as thats £18 just for those 2 alone without shipping.
Not great releaes in my opinion so none there for me to buy phew!
:D/ :stitch_bounce:
Got my Stitch as Jack today from DS but only because my brilliant friend La La got me two. The store only received seven pins and she bought six of them. Also got one of the Aristocats because we'd already bought them online.
Not sure I like the upcoming Mickey pin. Looks a little weird!
I ordered 2 White Rabbit pins, 2 Aristocats pins and 2 Stitch as Jack pins.
come sing with me!! pins came to lindsay two by two, hurrah! Hurrah!
LOL! Something like that. I wanted to get those White Rabbit pins whilst they're still there. I reckon they'll sell out, because they're LE 200 and they're cheap. The Aristocat pins are lovely, as I saw one in person at my local Disney Store. :P And I couldn't resist Stitch as Jack in the end.
I like the new mickey core pin *hides in the corner to avoid being unpopluar* but then again I collect Mikcey so :) I'm disapointed by the lack of halloween pins but here is hoping that some will turn up late better than then never the Jack online set from last halloween was really cool I love that set and have it on my halloween board. But then gain personally its probably good they don't have halloween pins - I got a great late deal and kind of just went to MNSSHP party in Florida last wk, it was brilliant and I picked up a few cool pins! I'll post pics in the other thread when I get around to organising them!
I think that they need to release some other Nightmare characters.
Lock,Shock and Barrel
Oogie Boogie
Zero
Sally
They've released plushies of characters in costume so I think they should release pins the same.
well was hoping the next upcoming soon section was going to feature a halloween pin or pins but again Disney has missed the boat on this one and let a perfect moment for pins to be released as its the 22nd so closet to Halloween we would get for a pin release.
Its a shame really as halloween pins are quite popular especially if we got Tink, Jessica or a stitch pins.
I think that pins that are exact replicas of the plushies for halloween would really sell well - just look at how popular they are in the US and Paris! Still we can dream and you never know the site might get updated between now and halloween or we might get a nice suprise release on the date!
I LOVE the steam boat willie one!! I collect mickey, and love the old classic style. wonder how much this will be £5 or £7 hmmmm
o.o Look what's appeared on the website as Online Exclusives!

The group pin isn't available right now, but the Minnie pin is. I love that they're doing personalised pins, but neither of those designs do anything for me. Ah well!
its a great idea, and i think they should do more of them but how long has the US DS been doing this?? But its a good thing to see that the UKDS are looking at their american cousin and are getting good ideas, bringing more of a choice for people like us! Keep up the good work Disney store!
if they were cheaper than the Online LE pins then I think they would do well but at £9 for that or an LE200...Id go for the LE200 imo.
does anyone have the core simba uk pin for trade?
:) I do Aveen.

Another Mickey pin on the coming soon section!!!!
Again, don't particularly like this one.
Please can we have alternative characters Disney!!

wow they certainly love their mickey pins! :roll:
well it did all start with a mouse :D
I quite like the new Mickey pin actually. :o I hope they do something for the release of Epic Mickey.
I hope they might do something for the release of some of the DVDs this year as we have these -
Beauty and the beast
Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 (seen it on play for November release)
Christmas Carol
Toy Story 3
hope the utilize the releases of the DVDs for pins
Beauty and the Beast is totally going to steal Fantasia's thunder. :(
I do like the new Mickey cartoon pin, but I am a just peeved off that we have had no Halloween pins and that every time the coming soon section is updated we see another Mickey pin!! Don't get me wrong I do like collecting Mickey and gang pins but I would like to see some other characters represented. Let's see what they put up on Friday....
Martin
P.S I am definately going to get the Beauty and the Beast pin on Monday.
After extensive research we have discovered that so far the Disney Store is the cheapest place to buy
Toy Story 3 boxset.
Play.com are pre-selling at £34.99
DS £29.99
And we are defineitely getting B&B when it comes out. Just looove that film. OOh and Fantasia.....
So much Disney....OOOOOh!
All DS needs to do now is take advantage and release lots of special pins to go with each boxset. That would be sooo awesome :D
for those that may not look at pinpics that often here is a pin from the next release that will probably be shown tomorrow -
http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cg ... &pin=80419 (http://www.pinpics.com/cgi-bin/group.cgi?group=4717&pin=80419%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
Another Mickey pin..of the joys of that :( and the TInk sat on moon is supposed to be out in 4 weeks so first release in November or so I saw it posted on pinpics...
just plain CRAP!!
another tink pin!!
I am looking forward to the hunchback pin coming out. Not fussed on the jack skellington pumpkin king pin.
the new releases added are not much better than what we already have been getting..its getting to the point our pins are not even great to even use them to trade..
The Jack Skellington pin is AWESOME! I don't currenlty own any pins of him as the pumpkin king!
I am really excited for this release, but a bit bewildered as to why it wasn't released in time for Halloween!!!
Martin
I agree I'm definately getting that pin, and the Mickey pins as I collect Mickey. I was in the Liverpool store on Saturday afternoon to say that it was packed was an understatement you couldn't move for people I wanted to pre-order toy story 3 to get the voucher and stood in line for 15 mins, I believe the madness for the the run up to xmas has begun!
Just got round to uploading these ones.. :mrgreen:

Ro
I noticed that one last night Belle's World. Didn't know if this could be the start of another range.. :-k
I didn't get it only due to our trip to DLP in just over 2 weeks, keeping a few more pounds back.. :mrgreen:
like you would miss out on a Beauty and The Beast pin, Ro!! Haha cool pin! I hope they do a LE Fantasia pin for the DVD release, Would be so cool!
The latest Beauty and the Beast pin is so much more attractive in real life that in the pictures I've seen of it.
It is one of my favourite pins to be released in a long time...
I think the beauty and the beast pin is boring :/ Cant wait for the le mickey ones :D
i just bought the aristocats one for my sister to put away for her for christmas =] shes a huge aristocats fan and me and our mum know she will just love it =]
Another very boring Minnie core pin :roll:
I like the new briar rose and faries pin but probably wont buy it
I dont like the muppets either, altho the set may be a nice present for a friend of mine who loves them.
OOhh i like the muppet pin, wonder how much it will be? Christmas pin shold be announced in 2 weeks time.
Ro
I wish I had of got the beauty and the beast pin, I didnt think it would sell out so quick nor the xmas decoration :(
Has it sold out?
When I popped in to my local they had about eight left of Friday!!
Martin

my local store (well the only one in the whole of ireland) doesnt stock pins anymore, they just have a few old ones....so I could only have got it online and its sold out, I am watching one on ebay but it is already dearer than original price :(
weird because the belfast store (one I am talking about) got the whole interactive makeover so you would think they would do the pins but i understand why they don't either as it's not really popular here or even known about much.
Hey aveen, I posted on Disney Store facebook group a while back and they said they should be selling pins :S so if you havnt been in in awhile then might be a good idea to go check, if you have then maybe best for us both to post on the facebook group again.

I was there yesterday (23rd oct) they just have some left over pins, like onces from the ailen reuse recyele collection, a few thumper pins from the celebration pins and one or two of the sword ones. They did get in the core stitch pin (as jack) but thats all. I think the reason has something to do with not having anywhere to store them.
I bough the beauty and the beast pin on ebay - 14.99 plus £1 postage :roll:
:( Aww, I wish I would've seen this sooner. I could've bought one at my local Disney store and posted it to you Aveen.
that sucks aveen :(
Hi Guys,
My friend La La went into the Oxford street DS yesterday and was told by a cast member that they are stopping selling pins in the stores! :shock:
Has anyone else had this?
Our Guildford store has removed the board so the only pins which are out are core pins.
So maybe Aveen won't be the only one disappointed!!! :evil: :twisted:
Wendy and Simon
no that would be absolutely awful, please don't stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just checking on this one from a reliable source, but until I get answers I agree I hope they don't stop selling. Another question is that if they are not selling will they still be trading.. :?:
I would be absolutely gutted if DS UK stopped selling and trading pins. Like everybody here I have invested a lot of time and money in building up my collection, and therefore would feel betrayed and let down by Disney.
I am visiting the London stores on Wednesday so I can see if I get any more information then.
Please don't stop selling pins!!
Martin
i asked on the disneystore facebook page and they said that they have no plans to stop selling pins instore
is it the disney company that runs the facebook site?
Perhaps some stores are stopping selling them. I dont think the belfast store trades anymore since they arent even getting the pins in as they get released.
I think it is the company who runs it.
I got a response to my wall post it said this -
Hi Frodo, we are definitely still selling Pins instore aswell as online. In the Belfast store you will find the Pins at the pillar opposite the tills. Happy Pin Trading!
I dont know if this is LE pins or just core pins so you might do better if you send them an email regarding the situation aveen and by taking an image to show that they are not selling new stock...
BUT..
they also announced that there is a Disney Store coming to Dublin in the first half of next year...I hope they have pin trading hahaha still a bit of a journey to go but will be awesome hehe
La La went into the DS in Norwich and spoke to a cast member who said that although the boards are going they will still be selling the pins in store.
That's a relief =D>
But, my local store only has core pins out. The new and LE's are kept in a drawer behind the till :(
This worked to my advantage however because I managed to snag another B&B pin for trading :D/
Is any one going to the Devon pin meet in two weeks time?

Yeah thats where they are but there isn't new pins, except they did get in the stitch jack sparrow core pin. I don't mind really I guess since I buy most pins online these days.
I hope the dublin store does open next year, with the economy in the south of ireland being so bad, you never know if it will happen or not.
Happy halloween lol
The plush charity event will be happening again this year. I'll be doing it again because its such a good cause, but you also get your special pin :D
I read that the pin is Mickey mouse
photo on facebook and its Mickey holding a present, looks better than last's years pin.
Hey guys here is the new releases:
(//http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af65/dlrpmad/pins_4756gvt.jpg)
I must say I LOVE the Christmas pin but how long was it since the dale pin to go along with chip!!!!
More disappointing pins (just my opinion) ....can't believe how bad their core pins are!
i must agree with you Aveen, the core pins are really rubbish at the mo, except Stitch as Jack Sparrow that was pure genius!! But at least the can say they are branching out on the LE pins, character wise! But then you go on disneystore.com and you practically drool over every pin you see! Lol thats just my opinion! I may get the christmas pin as im a xmas-y person!

I agree the stitch one was brilliant, probably their best core pin to date really! I am the same when I go on the disneystore.com website for all their merchandise including pins...its so unfair (stomps foot and sulks hehe).
I bought the Jack Pumpkin King pin today and I do like it but I am biased!
It's not the greatest pin, and not the best design but it is nice to have one of the Pumpkin King!
The core pins they are turfing out are just trash. The Chip pin is almost an exact mirror image of the Dale pin released earlier in the year. If the core pins are going to be so basic please give us a range of characters!! The Christmas LE is ok, but again, MICKEY AND MINNIE. Would be nice to have a Belle christmas pin or perhaps Sandy Claws from Nightmare before Christmas!
Martin
I came to the conclusion when I first started collecting that I wasnt going to be collecting UK pins as they were just not great imo.
Fair enough the Briar rose pin is going to be popular I think as I have to pick 2 up as already sorted out 2 pre-trades for those.
The muppets set is crap and yet another mickey and minnie pin...I think they are the only 2 characters to celebrate Xmas as last year was mickey and minnie bauble and this year we have 2 (charity pin and LE)
Im glad I buy from DS.com as the pins are better value for money and are much larger and lower LE..whole reason why Im stocking up on DS.com pins for my DLRP trip as no way Im taking UK pins when no one wants them.
i think we all agree that most of the core pins are crap and the LE's have a balance of good and bad pins. Christmas pin..err i like it but im not a mickey collector (selfishly id like a lilo and stitch christmas pin but thats just me hehe). Supposedly, there is a Lion King LE pin coming soon, which id like. And I also agree with you Danny, ds.com pins are much better, they are cooler, Low LE and they seem to celebrate halloween and christmas over there! Lol!
What a way to start my morning, eating Weetos and ranting about pins...damn you UK!
I really like the Christmas pin, obviously would have preferred Beauty and the Beast! I really like the little windiws that open. Anyway i will be in London on 4th December when it comes out as it is our 6th wedding Anniversary and we are going to see Oliver so i look forward to buying it. Going to Leeds in 2 weeks time so can hopefully pick up the charity pin.

Another recent Purchase.. ;) :)

We went to the Devon pin meet on Sunday and had a great time. Only a couple've people couldn't make it due to cancelled ferries and other commitments.

Traded over thirty pins which aren't all pictured here. Will take photos later and post them when next online.
Can't wait for the next pin meet which should be in January/February, weather permitting. :D/
What great pics! Thanks for posting them!
:D Everyone, check out UK Disney Store's coming soon page! I totally LOVE the Princess and the Frog pin, I think the Aristocats pin is adorable and although I'm not a big fan of the film, I think the Emperor's New Groove pin is great too! I must say, things are looking up a bit.
Also, the pin of Sleeping Beauty with the Fairies is only £5, so I might pick that up for trading.
WooHoo!!!
Some awesome pins coming soon.
Makes a change from the 'fab five'.
The Emperor's New Groove pin is absolutely awesome, likewise is the Princess and the Frog.
The Aristocats one is also very cute!!
Martin
does anyone have or know of a voucher code for Disney Store UK? I'm trying to order the new pins x
Hey everyone. I first discovered Disney Pin Trading when my sister returned from Walt Disney World with a lovely lanyard full of Stitch pins, and as a souvenir she had gotten me my very own Simba pin. Sadly it was only after some online researching we discovered you could actually trade them with the Cast Members, and they had their own special pins.
After that I've been poking away at eBay, trying (and failing) to resist buying pins there, so I was delighted to see that the Disney Store UK started selling them. And now the Pin Trading bug has bitten...hard!
I'm trying to limit myself to Bambi, Zazu, Simba and Nala pins to save money, though the occasional Stitch pin has a way of winning me over. Saying that, I just stopped by the Disney Store website and bought the Thumper Easter pin, the 101 Dalmatians and the Stitch as Captain Jack Core Rage pins, and I think the Stitch has turned into a definite keeper.
But I never knew the Disney Store UK Cast Members had their own lanyards to trade with until reading this thread! Now I'm resisting the urge to take my traders to the Edinburgh store until I get paid Thursday, I'm already poor after going crazy with pin buying online!
QuoteI'm already poor after going crazy with pin buying online
Welcome to pin trading!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Quote from: "Martin B"Welcome to pin trading!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Heh, my bank account's probably groaning as I type. And as I just happened to be passing the Disney Store today and I happened to have a handful of pins in my pocket, I ended up doing my very first trades!
They don't keep their pins on the floor, but gathering up courage I asked at the till and they brought out drawers of them and the lanyards.
I traded my Timon and Pumbaa pins from the Lion King booster set for a Figment Discover pin, which looking at Pin Pics might be a scrapper but if it is it's not an obvious one and I'm going to keep it (and am considering adding Disney dragons to my keeper list now, darn it), and a purple neon purple Mickey Mouse cast lanyard pin. I also ended up buying another pirate Stitch, so now I have one to keep and for trades if my sister doesn't get her hands on it.
Does anybody else find that the Disney Stores are very inconsistent with the rules they implement regards Pin Trading?
I keep finding that I am getting a bit of a bum deal with these inconsistencies!!
I went to one particular disney store on Monday to see if they had the Briar Rose pin. It wasn't on display so I asked a CM and they referred me to another cast member who 'deals with the pins', apparently on Saturday morning one individual came in and purchased all of the LE Briar Rose pins and all of the core Minnie pins. Correct me if I am wrong but, according to the Disney Store guide to pin trading aka 'Pinformation' a customer is not allowed to buy more than 2 of any design of LE pin in any one day, yet they admitted that one man purchased the lot (Minnie and Sleeping Beauty) :evil: However a few weeks ago in a different store when the Jack Pumpkin King pin came out I tried to purchase 3 (one to keep, one to trade, one for a friend) however I was told then that I could not buy more than two in a day and was handed the pinformation sheet. So I only purchased two, and seeing as I don't have a Disney Store on my front door, I wasn't sure wether I could guarantee getting one or not when I next visited.
Regards actual trading, the same store also said that I could only trade two pins at a time in general. Not two per lanyard which it states. Although I already have the CM hidden mickey name badge set, they had three on there which I thought would be good traders. Then again though in most of the other stores I have been to they almost beg me to trade with them as they have nothing but core UK pins on them and in one Midlands store I ended up trading about 8!
I hope that makes sense, but I don't want to name stores in case I offend somebody or somebody who reads this is a culprit of my rant. However does anybody else feel that there are so many inconsistencies between stores. Also, on final point, does anybody else feel that some staff are very enthusiastic about pin trading but others are so rude and inconsiderate and almost laugh at our hobby?
Thanks,
Martin :thumbs:
I definatly get what you mean. It all comes down to a lack of training if you ask me. When I've been visiting my local store lately, whenever I've asked a new CM (IE, a Christmas Temp) for the trading lanyards, they've had no idea what I'm talking about. It seems that the management hasn't cared enough to teach them about Pin Trading. But then, sometimes the full time staff are wrong as well. My mum was refused a trade recently because her pin didn't have the Pin Trading Logo on it. The reason for this was that it was a DLRP pin. Most of those pins only have the DLRP logo, and not the Pin Trading Logo. My mum explained this and the CM did end up trading with her, but my mum shouldn't have had to explain this to a member of the management team.
Ah well, what can you do? :(
I suppose it also depends on whether the person behind the till cares or not. While in the past all the Disney Store cast members had been frighteningly friendly, the past few years there have been some with that sullen retail attitude, though having worked retail I can't blame them too much, it can be frustrating having to deal with the public all the time. Though the one I dealt with last time was very friendly, and knew the trading rules.
Been putting my good camera to work and took a picture of my collection. It's still small, but growing at an alarming rate.
(//http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v462/anuqet/045.jpg)
This one's not mine, but if my sister doesn't watch out and take it home with her soon I might just have to keep it!

:) Ooh, I love your Bambi pins anuqet, especially the ones of Bambi's mother and father.
brilliant pins everyone.clarebelle you can get ten percent off at disney store by putting in the code WDTC at the checkout.at the moment until 5th december you can also get a belle soft doll free by putting in BELLE at the checkout at the disney store website,i hope this helps.
Thanks for that butterbear!
:thumbs:
:o The new releases (the Dale Core pin and the Mickey/Minnie Christmas pin) are already online, which means the Coming Soon page has been updated too! All 3 of the new additions are great! There's a LE 200 of the Genie, a Core pin of Rafiki and Simba (who's artwork was shown off at the Milton Keynes event) and a great LE 500 pin set of Toy Story 3 characters!
The Core pin is so great. :) If you look close, you can tell it's a slider pin, with Simba sliding up and down. I may wait a bit to see if I can trade it off the lanyard in my local store. If not, I'll just buy it. I'm totally in love the Toy Story set. To me, it looks like there's 5 pins, which are: Woody, Jessie, Lotso, Buzz and the toy gang. I've actually been wanting a Lotso pin, and I love Twitch as well, so I'll definatly be buying this set!
Who can not love the lion king one!!! I pick up the odd pin thats not mickey and minnie normally le celebration ones but I will be getting that one :D I also quite like the princess and the frog pin, i'll have to see it in person.
Hmmmmm wonder how much the toy story pin set will be?? any ideas??
Lovvvvvvveeeee the lion king pin, can't wait to get it!
Quote from: "Masamune" :) Ooh, I love your Bambi pins anuqet, especially the ones of Bambi's mother and father.
Thank you. Bambi's parents are one of my collector buttons, but while his mother is easy-ish to find, I'm disappointed there are so few pins with the Great Prince on them, and those are *really* expensive on ebay. That Bambi 2 pin is probably the only affordable one. Sigh, but I suppose his lack of popularity means he's safe from scrappers.
Any other UKers suffering from the snow? It's officially not fun now, I haven't had post for a week and I have ebay items coming! And I was hoping to pop up town and drop by the Disney Store yesterday, but that had to be cancelled. Interfering with pin collecting is not on!
But the Coming Soon page cheers me up. Yay a Simba Lion King pin! Though those New Groove and Princess and the Frog pins have won me over also. So much for sticking to my themes.
the new ones look lovely,in fact i like all the pins.i missed out on the briar rose with fairies pin though because my store only got four in and i couldn't get one.would anyone trade with me please,thank you from sabrina.
The pins that are coming soon look really great !
I love the lion king one :)
Looking over at the Disney Store site, I see the Simba and Rafiki pin is now under limited edition, but with the amount of 1500 I'm hoping I'll still be able to track one down when I'm out braving the January sales. No upcoming core pins sadly.
Also on the site some pins that have been up there for ages are on sale at half price, which might make up for the delivery charge.
A couple of purchases just before Christmas.. :oops: :mrgreen:
At least now we've got the matching pair.. :mrgreen:

Which branch was that, since I went to my local branch today and they were selling that much sale merchandise they took all the pins off display to make more room, after enquiring at the counter they had just the standard price ones in the draws and no trading lanyards either, which I found rather strange as they always have lots.. :roll:
I did notice on the Disney website that they were selling a few of the LE Pins on special aswell as a lot of the Core Pins, which you can usually get exactly the same in the stores, except in my local.. :(
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have missed a pin!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry:
Does anyone have a Emperors new groove pin to trade :thumbs:
Please everyone have a look at our traders on pin pics Name Simonandwendy626
it has got us having a nervous breakdown....must have the pin....must have the pin....must have the pin..... :shock:
For the next six weeks I have a job within walking distance of the Disney Store. I am going to end up spending so much money on pins.
Was in today and did some more trading off the lanyard, once again when I get home I look them up on Pin Pics to see they're probably unauthorized. I always get so flustered at the till I end up trading too quickly.
I did end up with some official bought pins, the Jack Skellington Pumpkin King and an extra Emperor's New Groove 10th Anniversary, Simonandwendy626. I hope I made you an offer on Pin Pics and not some other person who wants it :oops: .
Edited to add the latest upcoming pins.
(//http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v462/anuqet/pins_6938fhljs.jpg)
First a Lion King pin and now a Bambi and Faline Valentine. Disney like me so far this year :lol: .
Im surprised the toy story 3 pin set is £20! I was going to get it but not for that price as I really would only want it for lotso and I could get a lotso solo pin for cheaper lol. but I got the lion king pin cus ...well how could i not hehe!
not too keen on any of the upcoming pins- thank goodness as I am sooo broke!

(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/S1054585.jpg)
Love them both! The Aristocats pin was smaller than I imagined but it's still so cute! And I got the Hunchback pin for only £2.49 in the sale which was brilliant as I wanted it anyway! :thumbs:
wonder if the sale will still be on when I head to london in a week...
I've been to four disney stores in the last two days and only one of them had any sale pins left...
Got some absolute gems for 50p including St.Patrick's Day Mickey, Pluto 80th Anniversary, 2 x Earth Day sets (£2 for set!!), Happy core pin, Minnie core pin.
I also picked up some 2009 LE that were hidden away!

i couldn't get any sale pins in my local store,i feel a bit ripped off really,the southampton branch is rubbish for disney pins and trading really,it's really disappointing.i have no way to get to any others though as i don't drive.i'm really glad some people got bargains though.

Hey don't worry I feel your pain, my local (and only store in Ireland/N.Ireland) don't really sell the pins anymore nor trade, they get in the odd new pin but that's about it and when I looked in the sale there were none of the old ones left either lol. Sometimes I find that I see something on the website and I go to my local store to buy it and they dont even have the items anyway and I am out £20 on petrol (as it takes about an hour each way to get there and back) and money for car parking etc all for nothing really so I am more likely now to just order online. When I think of it this way I don't feel as bothered about the £5 postage charge online, or the fact it seems to take over a week for items to get to me when I order them online lol!
well hopefully the dublin store will be much better Aveen, cant wait to see what it looks like :P
Quote from: "Stitch2814"well hopefully the dublin store will be much better Aveen, cant wait to see what it looks like :P

OOOOOOMG!!!!!!!!
:lol: I almost feel like they may have listened to me. The people who design the pins for UK Disney Store were at the Milton Keynes event. :P I just said I wanted a Gaston pin. Didn't ask for Cheshire, as Cheshire pins as plentiful. :P I'm just so happy. Best UK pin ever by MILES. Just gotta get it now. :( Sucks that I've gotta wait a month.

Lets just clarify this. Does anyone know if the'll ever build a Disney Store in Ireland? Its horrible that we dont have one already. With Four million people in a small county, surley it would be economicly viable to open even a small store.
And it's nice to see Irish people on this forum. Irish took over the world, now we need to take over the Internet!
:shock: Just gotta hope it doesn't sell out too quickly as well. If I'm working that day, I wouldn't be able to order until I get home.
Now calm down.......breath , breath,breath......
The Disney Store in Edinburgh has their pins on display again, and of course I couldn't stop by without getting something for trades.

And that was the first time I've seen lanyard exclusives on the actual lanyard, so I had to pounce.
my daughter traded a minnie cast member badge last summer. it was at the york store, which of the 4 english stores we've been to (nottingham, london, meadow hall & york) york is easily the best. the staff really seem to know about pins :)

Hi Masamune, I dont have any LE ones to trade just some core pins and the odd cast lanyard ones from disneyland but they're the nephews nothing special lol :( unless there is any new ones coming out in store that I could buy to swap with?? or any previous ones you've missed out on i have a fair few older UK ones. :)
I'm going to be wanting the new Gaston pin that's being released this Friday on the website. I'm planning on buying it straight up, but because it's LE 150, I'm worried I may miss out. Obviously it would be up to you if you wanted to get it, as it could well be a £9 pin AND there's the P&P. The Mortimer pin was only £7.
:) I'm sure something will come up at some point.
Ohhhh no I wouldn't want that pressure of getting you one!! haha. but if any come up that you want from in store I could get you one, because I'll defiantly be able to get it, always there first thing on the release days :), we'll have to see what's put up on friday :D
Quote from: "Masamune"OOOOOOMG!!!!!!!!
:lol: I almost feel like they may have listened to me. The people who design the pins for UK Disney Store were at the Milton Keynes event. :P I just said I wanted a Gaston pin. Didn't ask for Cheshire, as Cheshire pins as plentiful. :P I'm just so happy. Best UK pin ever by MILES. Just gotta get it now. :( Sucks that I've gotta wait a month.
did you get it? [-o<
:( The site hasn't been updated yet. I'm going to have to sit here pretty much all day just incase. Sometimes it gets updated earlier in the day and sometimes it's not updated until around 5pm.
That's real annoying I'd hate to
have to wait. It's bad enough I just wanna see what's coming out next :p
Sites been updated. Did you get one Masamune? Under product info it says its a 100 instead of 150.
I don't know why I bought one, it's not even my collection and I'm skint after a crazy ebay purchase. Must have been that evil low number that tempted me.
Masamune I hope you got one, have you seen the coming soon?? Uk pins are really in your favour right now! I do think I'll be getting that Cheshire cat one! If you like I could get it and trade it with you for that mickey pin we spoke about? wish the stitch one was mickey or even goofy :(
new stitch pin!!!!
must have :stitch_bounce: :stitch_bounce:
:stitch_bounce:
OMG Stitch pin!!!!! Must get. Must get!
:P

Did you buy one of the Gaston pins? How? :x We have been watching all evening and its saying its not available :!:
I missed Dumbo - I have been checking all day, why cant DS have a set time to update
I too have the same problem for both gaston and dumbo! i hope i have not missed either i will be gutted anyone got any ideas? Thanks
I am just thinking it's sold out. Seen as someone else has bought it. Like i said on the
other topic the valentines pin sold out in my local store on release day so I went online and it said not available then next time I checked it had been taken off. I think they need to re word it to sold out! Bet everyone wanted that gaston pin for trades!
gutted gutted gutted!!!

Well guys, the site updated at about 5:15pm and I got my order in within a couple of minutes. :( I really don't know if I've been successful though, considering that my payment to the Disney Store is still Pending. I got the confirmation e-mail, but until they're shipped, who knows? Apparently even getting them ship isn't a guarantee, as once someone recieved their order with a refund note in their invoice stating that a pin they ordered had sold out. :cry: I'll be crushed if I don't get my Gaston pin.
You're right though fly, despite how crazy this Gaston release has been, I'm one lucky collector. :) In regards to trading though, I think I'm leaning towards the Tron pin. Does your store still have it in stock?
Noo it sold out within a few days :( which I was shocked about
as Leeds store had loads left
How many gaston and dumbo pins were they allowing people to buy? normally when they are ltd edition its normally 2 aint it? crazy if there really is only 100 i am keeping my on the website all day just in case and ebay just in case ill prob get totally ripped off tho as its extremely ltd :(
Got my dumbo pin :D went to town to get it one down one to go :D
Yeah 2 a day pp is the rule :)
:D I got the dumbo one and mickey core today in town they had a jack pumpkin king one which I have, I got as it might be a nice trader :thumbs: I do like the look of the stitch new one as I have a large stitch collection!!!
I got the mickey core seen as I am a mickey and minnie collector :D and the dumbo one but just because I buy all the annviersary uk ones because I actually don't like dumbo even if my user is fly with me dumbo lol
I was like many others and sat at the computer from 4.40pm friday refreshing, think i must have been one of the first to go through as i actually found the fin by searching for it rather than waiting for the coming soon page to refresh although by the time i finished the transaction it had changed. Anyway ordered 2 Gaston pins had the thank you for order email so fingers crossed all is well.
Also excited as i've just heard there are new UK cast lanyard pins coming out next month woohoo.
Ro
Oooooo what are they?? i'll have to get some of them, they seem to mean something to me with working for the store :D where did you hear this? I shall be enquiring at work lol
There was a post on Disneypinforum stating that someone asked on Facebook and was told a new set would be released next month but no art work has been released so far.
Ro
:) Just thought I'd let everyone know that I recieved my order today and everything was in it. The Gaston pin is a dream come true and I'm one very happy pin trader!
:D/ that's great news :D/ was it LE100 or LE150? i think when it's this limited they should only allow 1 per person to make it fair. the tinkerbell lantern 1 i brought my daughter last year was LE 200 & quickly sold out. a few days later it was on ebay for ridicuous money. :?
:) It's LE 150. I ordered 2, but I agree that the limit should only be 1. At least when the edition size is that small anyway.
the gaston pin is back on-

@Scrumpman you can put your pins and your wants on pinpics.com My wife will be signing on here soon, she just putting her pins on pinpics.com, she is much bigger disney fan (esp lion king) than I, and love pin collecting. In fact from what I gather it seem the fantasy passes miss out on pin trading days, trading nights etc. so her pass will have to be upgraded
:-(..

Hi,
I have not got around to doing a pinpics yet but must do I collect mostly stitch, and fab five , toy story and some ltd collections like the sword collection.
I will put the pin pics profile up when I get around to it lol just been busy of late :oops:
what is your wifes profile? on pin pics and I can have a look and start my profile soon!!!!! :D
Scrumpman
oops just seen the link to your profile lol
We suggest that everyone have a look at the Disney store website....however be warned it is not good news :cry:
http://massmail.disneyinternational.com ... in/pin.pdf (http://massmail.disneyinternational.com/TDS/uk/pin/pin.pdf%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;) :(
Had a feeling this was coming to be honest... Not happy.
Distraught!!! :evil:
has everone done the survey? if enough of us do it they may change their minds [-o<
Looks like they are trying to kill off pin trading, which is unfair as this is one of the few items adults would buy from ds store, they had already dumbed down the merchandise years ago by getting rid of ornaments etc.
I'm not a pin trader, but this is terrible. Once again the Marketing department is squeezing out floor space based on sales, or more likely to make room for Minnie Boutique merchandise.
Anyway, filled out the questionairre (falsely) to show some support, and I left this comment
'Needs to be expanded. Pin trading is probably the only thing that adults can participate in. If Disney want to cater for families - not just primary school kids - the pins in general needs more attention'
Doubt if anyone will notice, but I've done my bit.
P.S. Total Pins owned - 3.
1 x Steamboat Willie
2 x Tron Legacy won through the flynnlives.com viral campaign.
Very disappointing news!! Sadly I don't have a Disney Store near me now as the one I used to work in closed down so I don't have access to the pins other than online or ebay. I personally think Disney won't be selling pins for much longer in the UK.
:D I'm just happy that they're releasing a Ratigan pin. :lol: No one else seems to care about that but me.
Quote from: "Masamune" :D I'm just happy that they're releasing a Ratigan pin. :lol: No one else seems to care about that but me.

I think it is a fantastic pin and I will be adding it to my collection!!

I am considering getting rid of my pin collection soon. There are over 400, including some from the opening of DLP, the original set for WDW's Millenium, DL as well as the opening of DCA, TDL, opening of HKDL, Disney on Ice, West End production pins, name tags, and many more. Is there still interest in this stuff?
And yes, Disney Store is such a waste of space, bearing little resemblence to the stores I worked in 20 years ago. Most of the stuff you can get on line for 30% less, and most of the cast know very little about Disney. It is very sad.
Why do you want to get rid of your pin collection? Are you selling your pins?
You worked in a Disney Store? That's great. Did you work somewhere else for Disney, like a park, or from where do you get all the insider informations?
Hi everyone! I seem to have totally forgotten that I joined the forum a couple of years back! Hence I've randomly appeared like this on one of the newest posts! :)
davewasbaloo I would SO be interested in your DLP pins! I managed to get an original space mountain one on ebay and I love it! :D
The nearest Disneystore to me is in Glasgow, Scotland. It's recently been refurbished and it is amazing! If I don't look out the front of the shop I don't feel like I'm in Glasgow at all! :D I know what you mean about cast members in the stores though ... they are friendly enough but don't seem as enthusiastic as they used to be! :(

I may well be. Although my wife thinks I will regret it. So currently I am undecided. But I am thinking about getting rid of much of my collection (not all - personal memory pieces will remain). But I am trying to guage interest.
Yes, I was a cast member at the Disney store in it's very early years here in the UK. As for the insider info, I cannot give too much away. But I will say, growing up in California, I knew many of the imagineers and indeed the head of Pixar was my fav skipper. I know a few fairly senior people at the Studio and Glendale, and have enjoyed dinner with Micheal Eisner in the past. Also had a beer with Roy Disney Jr once.
I know some of the consultants that work with Disney and have managed some too. And I used to be an exec at a multinational with some links. Some of my rantings over the years have not helped me, but I refuse to pander for freebees, but yes, I have hard hat walked attractions and was in a focus group for DLP's concept back in the 80's.
But Disney is not the company I fell in love with any longer. My house is crowded. And rather than collect dust, I am considering releasing some of my collection (1950's DL e tickets, Epcot opening memoriabilia, Tokyo plans, DLP pre opening materials, Pins, toys, WDCC collectables). Like I say, my wife thinks I am going through a phase, and I need to think of the kids, but I wondered the interest.
Warning, my character collection is small. I have little interest in characters other than maybe Villains and Tron. Most of them are resort, special event, hotels, attractions, shows, restaurants etc.
Quote from: "treble"has everone done the survey? if enough of us do it they may change their minds [-o<
Not very good news at all reading their announcement.. :(
I've just completed the survey as well.. 8-[
I hope they take note, after all not everyone can just nip to the parks every few weeks to buy pins.. :roll:
Do you have a PinPics account Dave? Just so we can see what you've got?
I'm a character collector myself, so it's your Villain stuff that I think I'd be most interested it. :( I think it would be a shame for anyone to sell their collection though. Like your wife said, maybe your kids would like your pins instead?
I have taken the survey
I really hope they don t stop the pins :cry:

I do not have an account I don't think. The problem is photographing and cataloguing them all. WE do have every pin released in DLP in the first 2 years of pin trading if that helps? My wife has advised me to wait until we get back from DLP to make my decision.
if you sell any pins and have on my wants list (stitch2814 on pinpics) then please let me know :) only paris one I think I need is the PTN Stitch pin lol
Quote from: "davewasbaloo"My wife has advised me to wait until we get back from DLP to make my decision.
Dave your wife talks some very wise words, I am sure the kids will love them when they get a little bit older.
Sounds like you are going through a rough patch with Disney, I am sure it'll pass. Hope to see you soon.
Dave
We could not agree with Disneyqueenuk more. If you sell your collection you will surely regret it later. Keep your chin up and have a Disney day

Does anyone know why the lion king pin cant be purchased i have been trying since 4 pm got the BATB set though although extorsionate price!
Hi,
I ve been having trouble logging in to the DS website too at times , I totally missed the lion king as I was sitting at computer at 4pm and seen they where already sold out lol!!
I managed to get one in the shop so am happy :) I have a few of the Jaq and Gus ones for trade if anyone never got one.
I have gotten around to logging my pins on pinpics and have my first trade but am still waiting on the person recieving their pin (I hate that part) my pinpic name is scrumpman if anyone wants to trade.

I managed to pick one up in store too luckily apparently they changed the time to 9am hope that doesn't happen next time
Wondered if anyone buys of American disney store to uk? and if so do you get charged when it arrives in the uk? any extra charges?
Just pondering with the idea of buying a few pins and bags lol
:)
You will likely get a huge customs fee when they arrive in the UK..
I do all my disneystore.com shopping through a friend who then sends them on to me and marks them as a gift so I don't get charged. :thumbs:
try ebay first - I bought some xmas decortions and shipping was cheaper and no customs - they marked them gift
Thanks for the ideas :)
well ive missed the bambi pin even thought my bf was online from 8 really getting annoyed with this!
managed to get one in store!!

Any help, much appreciated!

Wow that's my local Disney store and i've never heard anything about it!! I was there on sat buying the stitch pin and i'm friendly with the cast members there but they never mentioned anything about a pin event. Sorry that wasn't very helpful, it would be great though if one did happen! :)

Aw I love the Bambi pin, so sweet.
I've only ever really bought pins when I've actually been at Disneyland Paris, so I just wondered if someone could help me in how to buy them here in the UK.
I know you can buy pins in certain Disney stores but can you also buy them online? Whenever I have logged on to the Disney Store website there is always the same two pins available so I think I must be missing any new pins that are added. Is there a certain day or time that new pins or added?
Also is there a better selection in store?
Every other Friday at 9 am pins are released unless the date changes for a special occasion
Thank you! I'm usually on my way to work then so I'm not sure I'll be able to log on at that time, do they go quite quickly?
Yes they do I think I normally have mine paid for by 905 and I assume a lot of others do, perhaps you could get to work early?! Or buy them in certain stores on the Saturday as long as its not the online editions.
I thought they might, no wonder I never seem to even see them online. Thanks for the advice :D
no trouble at all hope you got you pin!
Went to London today and picked up the London pin, very beautiful!
Information: UK Disney Stores to cease selling Pins.. :shock: :shock: :shock:
It's moving to Online only as there is not enough Pins to go between the Stores and Online Customers.. Typical :roll:
http://massmail.disneyinternational.com ... in/pin.pdf (http://massmail.disneyinternational.com/TDS/uk/pin/pin.pdf%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)
After speaking to one of the Managment Team at the MetroCentre Branch, another behind the scene reason seems to be that it has not been as popular in the stores as originally thought, with only a few stores doing well with the selling of Pins.. :|
Personally, buying them online is quite pricey because of the delivery fee. Ok they have reduced it to half price, but only on the weekend of release. You would need to buy a few Pins to make it cost effective. Looks like it's back to the drawing board and back to the old fashioned way of getting my Pins and that is wait till I go back to the parks. I don't know.. [-(
I haven't been able to get any pins for a long while as there are no stores that release them near me and I also can't get online on Fridays as I start work at 8. I doubt this will make it any easier for me to get pins, and i suspect the same will be true for many people. I would love it if they changed the release day every so often.
I was pleasantly surprized, even with the Brave pin (that I expected to sell out in like an hour), I got to order it I think 3 days after the release.
We have never had a pin trading in Liverpool store . I have only brought the Mowgli. Kara pin so far. Money is tight
The lonesome ghosts pin from a few years back is back in store online.
Quote from: "orsie"The lonesome ghosts pin from a few years back is back in store online.
I've got that pin! :D/
did anyone get the nautilus one? the one you can get in dlrp and Disney store?
Now if you want to buy any pins you have to do it from the Disney store website as they no longer sell them in the shops. I think the last pin I actually bought in a UK Disney Store was a limited edition Lion King pin. I think it is a shame that they are no longer sold in the shop but the good thing I like about buying them online is that they also sell DLP specific pins - the other day I bought about 5 online, including two Disneyland Paris attraction pins that normally you can only buy in DLP. It can be a bit hit and miss though depending on what pins have been released for that month. However I am impressed that the non-DLP pins I bought were actually limited editions so maybe having them released only online is not such a bad thing.

We are going to dlp in May and my friend is a huge collector of pins and would like to try pin trading, we've been looking on the internet and some of the websites say that '[/size]In Disneyland Paris, the cast members are instructed not to accept pins with any of the following origins: EuroDisney, Kodak, Arthus Bertrand, DisneyStore, Spain (also called sedesma pins), or Germany (also called ProPins)' does this mean that pins bought from the disney store website cannot be used in pin trading, even though they have the mickey head on the back? Does anyone have any experience with this. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but we'd prefer to check before buying them. TIA
Never had any experience with the pins you mention, sorry. I have however on multiple occasions bought batches of 25 off ebay for about 12.99 , and used those for trading, never had a problem, that way she won't have to give up any of her pins either!
Thanks for your advice Polar Vixen, found the same pack of 25 on amazon, so going to buy those.

It seems that you are going to be able to trade in the Disney Store again! I was in the Disney Store in Oxford Street a few days back and the cast member at the entrance had a lanyard full of pins. I asked if she traded and she said yes and that all stores will be rolling out pin trading again!
Unfortunately they won't be selling pins in store again, though, which seems a bit odd, but oh well!

I checked with the only Disney Store in Ireland, in Dublin and the CM I spoke to didnt know anything about this :(
My daughter and I traded pins in the Oxford Street London store a couple of weeks ago. They have a lanyard of pins on the top floor but if you go downstairs and ask they have a plastic box with more pins in it that they will get out to happily show you 😃
