On Dizpins news page:

Released at US Disney Stores!!

Retail $4.50

"MM Americana Pin 1"

I wonder if there will be at least be a "2"??


Let me pick myself UP off the floor!
:faint:
And it appears to be a looker too!

Well...... :moped:
 
Of course, I have not seen any confirmation yet.

I won't be able to stop by our local store until the weekend.

Perhaps someone else can confirm sooner.

And, I agree: It did look nice! :earsgirl:
 
I thought I would stop in at a DS later today -- probably late afternoon/early evening. I will report back later. :)
 
Just after they came out and said "we'll NEVER, EVER have
pins at DS again due to poor sales of the Musical set"

Our DM when I worked there hated pins, although our
store was the best pin store in the district... he said
NEVER again and that was coming from the top dogs...

Surprise Surprise!
 

I had the same reaction, Barb. I hope it's the sign of things to come. I don't want to see another series, but a few pins to commemerate holidays or movie releases would be nice.
 
Here's what I was told:
The pins are backstage. (One pin style)
The CM knew what I was talking about, as she had seen them (and was surprised too).
At first she said they were for 4th of July.
I said that made sense, due to the theming. But I couldn't imagine they would wait that long to release the pin.
She added this pin is part of an Americana theme being brought in.
So it is a part of an overall upcoming theme. But she did not know when the pin, and the other related merchandise, was to be on stage.
She didn't even know the price or if it was a LE, etc. She just happened to see the pins arrived.
Kinda of we are the last to know.
I got their phone number to call in and check. She said it could be tomorrow, this weekend, or later.
So they are in stock. Just waiting for the okay.
The GOOD news -- the HM CD I wanted was HALF OFF! As were some PJs. :)
They have a GREAT deal on snowglobes, if anyone is interested. Nice variety, one price.
I bought a VERY cute old style tin-looking enamel MM coffee mug. $5.99 (I need another coffee mug like I need another pin. ;) ) :rolleyes:

This is general Disney Store philosophy...
we would get these email things that would announce
1 day sales and stuff... they were really a pain, having
to resign or add mdse on the spur of the moment!

I used to get pummelled by people who would come in
on an average Sunday and say "I was just here yesterday
and ALL your videos were $10.00 - a sale just doesn't end
like that overnight" And, well, they do there!

Lots of sales came and went like that, so did mdse!
And we found out that morning, not very often the day before!

ALSO! Remember the person who submitted the pics
for the news page on "The other" pin board is a DS CM!
So she might have more "inside news" and be spoiling it!
 
According to other's post, true to DS tradition, it sounds like some stores are selling them now and some aren't.
At least it isn't a series where we have to stand in line in the wee hours of the morning.
 
My TDS said tonight that they can't sell them until Monday morning. They are bringing the Americana themed merchandise on stage late Sunday evening after they close. So, the pins will be available at Gwinnett Mall in Duluth, GA on Monday. Maggie
 
My store had them out, along with all the "Americana" line of merchandise. They are nice pins, all red, white and blue.
 
My DS had them on the wall along with the matching merchandise. The store manager told me she had no information about any others to follow....hope that's not true!! I couldn't find any mention of MM #1 on either the pin or the card. Where was that seen??
 
If your store does not have them out -- ask.
The store I went to did not have them on stage. When I asked about them I was told they could sell them. They just was not floor space yet.
The CM went backstage and brought out a small container of the pins.

I wonder if these were meant to be sold through DS.com.
The back of the hang tag reads:
(c) Disney
The Disney Store, Glendale, California 91203-2671
disneystore.com * Made in China

It's a nice size pin with fairly good detailing. The finish reminds me of a combination enamel-epoxy gloss finish.
I bought three :rolleyes: and on each the blue background on the right is a different tone and depth.
 
I purchased 2 of these pins at our DS last night.

Oh, how I hope that this is a sign of things to come!!!
 
I like the idea of DS pins for holidays and some other special occasions, like a new movie release.::yes::

<i>Please</i> don't bring back DS series! I admit I met some wonderful new pinpals on those Saturday morning lines, but I don't think I can do that again every week, for months on end. :earseek:
 
The pins weren't out at the Champaign, IL store yesterday, and I don't think the Americana stuff is going out until Sunday.
 
Not a bad looking pin...

Does anyone know when/if there's going to be a second pin?? This one is very nice and a plus for those who don't live near the parks.
