Are pins being pulled from the outlet stores by Disney?

[Raulandpinboy]

Okay for those concerned that Disney is going to pull the outlet stores pins, this is the word from the stores… “What are you talking about Ed? Where did you hear that load of BS” So in other words I don’t think they are being pulled anytime soon.

But just in case I went out there, and today was pin watch day 3. Pin watch is like Bay Watch, but instead of girls in bathing suits running in slow motion on the beach… its Pintraders in spandex with lanyards running at breakneck speed towards a counter to buy pins. Close but not really.

SO Philip and I took the Calypso into outlet-infested waters in search of the elusive discount pin shark, after two minutes of not finding a parking spot… (Pause) (Insert joke I just remembered here)

Ladies why are men like parking spots?

Because all the good ones are taken, the ones left are usually handicapped, you’ll spend the rest of your time driving around waiting for one to become free, but the minute you take it, you’ll find a better one later on when its to late. Plus it doesn’t matter because if you leave the one you got, by the time you get to the better one… Yup its gone and your stuck.

(Continue) we find a good one and go in for the kill.

So here is proof and not only of the Epcot pins, but we found today the Festival of the Master you know that pin that weighed 2Lbs, it was there for $4.99 annual Passholder pins, Super Soap weekend pins. And Disney sport complex pins for $2.99

I got about 10 of the masters pins and went to Epcot to trade… you should have seen the look on the castmembers face when I traded them that pin for a pin off their lanyards. Good thing they didn’t last long on there or I would be responsible for 10 castmembers with sore necks.

Ed,

Did they have

• Pin 14291: WDW - Share A Dream Come True Annual Passholder Pin #4 (Magic Kingdom Globe Parade)
• Pin 17463: WDW - Share A Dream Come True Annual Passholder Pin #5 (Disney-MGM Studios Disney Stars and Motorcars Parade)
• Pin 21212: Disney's Animal Kingdom - Annual Passholder Pin 2003 (5 Years)
• Pin 10975: WDW - Earth Day 2002 (Jiminy Cricket w/Umbrella)

on clearance? I went to Florida looking for these pins to complete a couple of sets I started (never a good thing, I hate sets) but after the whole lanyard trading deal I completely spaced what I was looking for. Anyway, I am still looking for these pins so I was kind of hoping they might be around that I could get a crack at trading for these with out giving away the farm (see I have progressed nicely from just trading away my lanyard).

Was the guy that bought all of them wearing a black stealth lanyard that had "Jeff" stitched in copper on the bottom of his lanyard? That guy has been causing all kinds or problems lately. But he does have some very cool pins.
