It seems to be that everyone is pin mad (not that it is a bad thing)

i am wondering if i am the only person who does not collect them?

I never saw the attraction either, until our visit in April 2005. My cousin went with us on that trip, and before we left for the Park on the day of our arrival, my cousin bought the Jessica Rabbit lanyard starter kit from the Sante Fe shop, just because she thought it looked nice.

As we were walking along, she started reading what it said on the packaging about Pin Trading. :lol: By the time she had finished reading, we were heading back to the Sante Fe shop to get me a Jessica lanyard too. We also bought some pins for 3 Euros so we had some extras to trade, and it just went from there!

I have over 100 pins now. That's not a lot compared to the proper collectors out there, since I only buy/trade for pins of characters I like, not for pins that I think may be worth something.

I think that's the key to being a collector. Buy what you like and not what you think is a good investment, if it turns out to be a good investment then that's a bonus.

I have a few pins i got off ebay and some from wdw, but never traded any, just buy what i like

[miss disney fan]

my son has about 20-25 pins from our last two trips, we have never seem the appeal in collecting them, it was just a case of going into the shop and he would pick out afew while i was looking at the stand

I started out at DLRP in March 06, just buying a few, but by the end of the week, I'd spent quite a lot on pins. It was pretty much the same with all my Disney collecting. From a couple of plush Mickey's, a Donald and a Goofy, I then went on to a huge collection of plush toys. And from a few ornaments and snowglobes, I started collecting lots of stuff. But the focus on my collecting is really Belle, and secondly Ariel, and then the other Princesses. Although I do collect other Disney stuff that appeals when I come across it.

I started when i was 8  :lol:
 
Started collecting at WDW, got quite a few and abotu 3 - 4 Le.

But never really caught onto it at DLRP.

I only have 4 pins from there !

I collect pins , but only the ones that I really like and not only from Disney but also from other parks!

I have some of Disneyland Paris , Universal Orlando , Alton Towers , Efteling , Phantasialand and Disneyland Anaheim!

Many parks , but only like 50-70 pins in 4/5 years

I have about 20 pins but only of characters or rides that I like. The thing is I can't find normal pins ie. non LE ones on the internet, only the really exspensive and collectable ones, so i'm going to get some more when I go next tiem.
