disney pins

[shelby&stitch]

i was wondering if any of you collect pins, i do and i have about 26 i was curious about how many you guys had.
sorry if there's all ready a thread about this but i could'nt find it

[Cinderelli16]

haha yessss!!! i love collecting pins (:
i have like 20 right now, but i don't like trading mine lol

[CrazySteph]

I was a HUGE fan back when it FIRST started..

i'm not even kidding when i say i probably have over 200.

i knew a lot of Cm's that had connections though. ;)

I'm not a fan anymore though, but I still keep them in my book. they're still special to me :lovestruc

[shelby&stitch]

i dont trade my pins
i went to disney during a year of a million dreams and won a exclusive landyard and pins! i was very happy

[rock.my.socks]

I like collecting pins, there are so many pretty ones! I dont trade the ones i really like, which is a bit of a problem bc i like most of mine alot ;)

[imabrat]

I collect but don't trade. IDK how many pins I have but they fill up the whole lanyard.
I don't have that many because since I started with the pins I've only been about 4 times.

You bet when I'm in DLR half my souvenir money will be for pins.

[indiesgirl4ever]

i have 130 and i just started collecting a year ago:)

[Ppufi]

At first I wasn't going to get into them; too expensive. After our WDW trip though, my mom surprised me with two lanyards chock full of pins! Now I'm addicted, and can't wait to go back and trade.

[ears4all!]

I am sorta- I like collecting the ride

[PurpleDucky]

I have like 15 or so
They are very pricey XD

[Disney Dork]

I do! I have about 130 so far. :goodvibes

I get one for every resort we stay at, one for every 'celebration' they have (if they have any when we go), one for my favorite rides, and any cute character ones I can find.

I did 'win' a lanyard and pins for the Year of a Million Dreams as well when we went last year. We were about to go on Soarin when they stopped everyone and said that we were 'at the right place at the right time' and handed them out. It was awesome. :cloud9:

i won my disney landyard and pins at soarin to
the disney cuties pins are my favorite, here are my favorite pins:

I started collecting in April and i have about 12 cause i have a sister and they are kinda expensive

[Axel]

I have 194. I've been collecting since 1999 (when Pin Trading became official), though some of my pins are considerably older. One is from the 15th anniversary of WDW (1985). 93 are limited editions. My lowest edition number is a set of 250 from Disney Auctions. 21 are cast member exclusives including a completed set of the Character Hats collection. 1 is from Tokyo Disney. 5 are from Disneyland Paris/Eurodisney. 1 is a Disney Studios pin from Burbank. I have 2 pins signed by the designer. I have probably 50 Annual Passholder exclusives and DVC exclusives, though those aren't hard to come by considering we have both. My most prized pins include a Countdown to Extinction pin that we bought before the ride was renamed Dinosaur, an Alien Encounter pin from before it was converted to Stitch's Great Escape, a Disney Club pin my mom got for joining (the Club no longer exists), and a Disney Club Megavolt (the villain from Darkwing Duck) pin- it's the only Darkwing themed pin I've ever seen.

Overall, my collection is probably worth over $1000.

I do trade, although not my collection pieces. I trade for new ones. I get a bunch of pins for relatively cheap on EBay (and I check to make sure that they're not fakes) and I trade them for duplicates and such with cast members and new pins for my collection. The duplicates I usually haul to DTD and hit the pin traders there and sometimes my duplicates complete one of their collections and they're willing to trade some really cool pins for them. But really, I've never met a nicer group of traders than the ones at DTD. Some of those people have tons of pins and if you see one that you really, really want they usually let you have it for a really dinky pin (like an open edition Alice pin). That's how I got my Mad Hatter's Hat pin (complete with Hat Box!).

My major collection is cast series pins (like the Wanted Posters and the Hats before I finished that set). I have 4 unfinished sets right now that I hope to complete sometime within my next 2 trips (august and december). I do however, have a secondary collection of all things Alice in Wonderland.

I need to remember to buy more locking pinbacks in august, too.

[CastawayJ]

all of my pins are out of print (not sold in any dis store, on or off site)
pin trade night only
cast member only
or part of the hidden mickey series
so I have a hard time trading

[Vannah]

I loveeeeeeeee pin trading.
Like no other, man.
Anyway, I've got somewhere between 20 and 50 pins.
They are kinda pricey and I don't really like to trade the ones I like, but I suppose that's the fun in it.
I like the hidden mickey ones (I've got 2), they're really cute.

[Geniefan]

i have about 11. I got a lot of my older pins from my aunt when i showed her my pins and she told me she had some i could have :goodvibes. i recently bought another new pin when i went to disney world back in April but i could only afford 1. they are pretty expensive but it's so fun collecting them :goodvibes

PINS PINS PINS PINS!!!!

Pins.

LOL.

It's...not an obssession...it's a...hobby?

[Cali_Sparrow]

I started collecting them in 2005 when I went to WDW. They're sooooo fun and a lot of them are really cool looking. It gets kind of expensive but they're generally the only thing I buy at Disneyland now.
I have about 50, not including my Rainforest Cafe and Grad Nite ones. I have a few really neat ones like the Dead Man's Chest El Capitan exclusives and Rockin' Both Parks promos. I always buy a castle pin each year. C:

I've gotten a few off of cast members too.

I love just collecting them, not big on trading.

[KidGoofy]

I want to get all of the VMK Pins but I couldn't find them anywhere at disney but I heard they are still there. If not I'll go on ebay.

[katz_r_awsum]

Yes i trade and collect I have more than 50 now my mom buys really cheap ones on the internet so whenever she finds a deal i get ready for more! I also waste my money and buy like ten at disney or so or at a disney store... :laughing:

[PosessedEeyore]

hmmm. i have a lot of pins. i have 6 full boards and 3 full pin books. im guesing between me and my dad we have like 400. no lie.

[shelby&stitch]

wow thats alot

[WDWLIGHTNINGZ]

I have quite a few, will count them later.

I only trade the cheaper pins like the spend $30 get a pin for $1, when we were at WDW we spent a bit and got six of those little pins in one go - 5 of which I traded with CM's for rarer pins.

[rainy.day]
