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

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

[Martin B]

Just a quick question.

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

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

Thanks,

Martin

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Boo Hoo!

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

Thanks again for the welcome and advice!

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

[Belle's World]

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

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

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