Alert! Alert! I Found Cheap Pins!!!

[m.pots]

Hi all, I went to St. Louis today on a quest for cheap trading pins. I found them. They are at the Char. Outlet store at the St. Louis Mills Outlet mall. It is just off Hwy 370. Most everything in the store is from Disneyland. Most the pins are too. They are different %s off and it's hard to keep track of but it's all sorted in their computer. The average price was about $3 per pin. I think that is the cheapest we'll find around here. Woo hoo I can check off one more thing to do with just 16 days left!!!!!

What store in St.Louis Mills did you find the pins, I didn't think they had a disney store.

It was called the AMC Character Outlet store. It was in an empty space and had tables set up with merchandise. One of the sales people said they come every year with stuff. I'm not sure exactly what section we were in but I can give you some details...
We parked & went in by section 2, Saks Fifth store. Turn right and then left and go down to the kids section. Turn left again and keep walking straight for a bit. It'll be on your left and is after the kids section. Hope this helps.

They are at the Char. Outlet store at the St. Louis Mills Outlet mall.

Sometimes there are temporary traveling outlet stores.

It was the Character Warehouse. They are only open for a few more days. I think their last day is on the 25th of Jan.

That company handles merchandise liquidation for Disneyland. They set up stores around the country for a month or so at a time and blowout their stock. There was one in Franklin Mills in Philadelphia a few years ago. They come and go quick and don't advertise so finding them is always a treat.

That's what I was wondering. I happened upon one in NJ this summer and am kicking myself for not buying more pins.

If anyone goes to St. Louis store and can make casual conversation and find out where they are headed that would be great!
