And if so how fast.?

While looking over Dizpins my DD fell in love with the "elevator" box set to be released on October 6th. What will my chances be of picking one up in December for her?

Everything eventually sells out....the question should be how long???

That depends on the popularity of the pin. For example, I bought a Christmas boxed set when I was there in May. The framed LE 100 set that went on sale in May sold out in September. Others sell out the day they are released.

So the answer is "?????" If you really want it, try to find someone going down at that time period to get one for you.

The only answer is... Depends

there is no better answer for it- Some sets sell out *really* fast, others *pretty* fast others slow and some are around forever- Most its hard to judge but I would say off the top of my head as a *guess* that as a LE 500 its not going to be around by Dec (prob could be gone within a week) as its a pretty low LE and also a popular ride/characters and simply just cool.

I'm not a huge fan of TOT but I *really* like those pins...

Thanks for the replies. I know a few people going down so I think I will ask for a favor.

My theory is a box collection sells out when it is just in it for the money instead of the artistic value. I hate it when they sell out. They think they are bigger than the hobby. Next thing you know they are doing cheap car commercials and fast food. I remember when Box Collection was an up and coming artist and their sound and vision was pure art.
