Pin Trading: Disney Store UK

Quote from: "Snow_White_Girl"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...

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!

I am addicted now!! :oops:

There pins also arrived from my ebay purchases(sorry the photos not great)...

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!

Early pictorial update today, since I have to sneeeeakily do it at work. Going out this evening. Anyway, let's get started.

Limited Edition

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 - 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 - 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.

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

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!!

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

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!

oh that's a bit odd, maybe I am wrong then lol!

Carnival_Princess_ · June 03, 2009, 05:06:19 PM

Hmm, or I got ripped off lol :wink: Never mind though, I still love it either way!

Agent Lex · June 03, 2009, 08:23:15 PM

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.
