Disney Pins

[jg121285]

Hello my name is John and I'm addicted to Disney Pins lol

So I'm on these boards just about 24/7 and I'm trying to find out as much as I can about Disney and I keep reading about the trading pins. So I check out the websites and now I'm addicted. I'm afraid I'm gonna blow our trip money on the pins alone lol

I've bought 4 pins so far for myself and 2 for my DGF from ebay. I'm going with the Stitch theme for my pins because he just recently became my favorite Disney character when I saw the movie about 2 weeks ago. And my DGF really likes the flip flop and cell phone pins and anything Eeyore or Tinker Bell.

Here's the 4 I'm getting so far with about a hundred more in my watching list on ebay.

Cute Stitch pins!! My DD9 collects Stitch, she has some really really cute ones. Enjoy your new obsession...and yes, it's very easy to spend all your money on pins/trading! LOL

It sounds like it's too late to tell you to run in the opposite direction, so welcome to Pinaholics. There is no 12 step program and we don't want one!

Look out, there are TONS of Stitch pins. If you haven't been to pinpics, it's a database us collectors have been putting together of all the Disney pins. Right now, I think the number is up around 73,400. Do a search on Stitch and then you can see all the Stitch pins we are aware of out there for you to collect.

Have fun!!!

Thanks guys, yes I think I will enjoy my healthy addiction lol

Oh yeah, I've been to pinpics. I looked up Stitch and went

I told myself I would only get 10 pins before we go to Disney next May, but who knows if I'll stick to it.

I got my first 3 pins in the mail yesterday! It was the Indy and ToT Stitch and I also forgot I bought the pin where Stitch is dressed like Beast and dancing with Belle. I'll post pics soon.

I missed out on a great one last night of Stitch in his pineapple box reading the Ugly Duckling because I got distracted by a phone call from my mom lol .

My DW's favorite Stitch pin is him with a plunger on his head. I think the caption says, "One of those days!"

Yes, I really like that pin too. I'm keeping an eye out for it on ebay.

These are the 4 that I recently got in the mail. They are so awesome, too bad I don't have a lanyard yet to display them. Right now they are in a Disney tin I bought at Target.

I got a few more coming and I'm always looking out for more.

LOL! I'm pretty new to the pin trading thing too! I'm hooked though! I started before our last trip (Sept. this year)... thanks for reminding me, we're going back in Dec. and I need to find some Christmas pins on Feebay!! Welcome to pin trading!! It's loads of fun!! April

Be careful when walking around with your pins on a lanyard. They have a tendency to fall off without your knowledge, then you've lost the pin! There are locking backs, but even they are not 100% reliable.

Awesome, thank you! Happy hunting on Feebay lol. It's always fun for me to look at the different pins for sell especially when I'm bored in class. There are definitely some deals especially when bidding but sometimes I get too competitive and spend a little more than I wanted to just to beat someone else's bid.

Yeah I definitely won't be wearing my good ones till I get the locking backs. I've read some of the horror stories on here.

i did some pin trading while on vacation, there fun,

i auctally got quite a few exclusive pins that are retired now from pin trading, some people just don't know the value of the pins

 

[pixiewings71]

I should ask DD9 if she has extra Stitch pins for you, she has one that has Stitch w/a cowboy hat, she gets asked all the time to trade that one. She loves it tho so she won't do it. I think she finally took it off her lanyard. LOL

For Christmas I'm going to make the girls both cork boards, I'm going to decorate them with their favorite characters so they can put some pins on display that way.

Oh, they make locking backs??!! Where have I been?? Yes, I was at Disney back in Sept. and thought I had lost one of my FAVE Dumbo pins (it's body moves! It's so cute!) I was so sad, but when I got back to our room; I found it in my bra! I was so happy! I need to find those locking backs! Thanks for posting this!

Awesome! Yeah I don't know if I'll be doing any trading quite yet, right now I'm enjoying the collecting. I might get a lot of pins before we go on our trip to do some trading, mainly with CM's. I found some pretty good lots on ebay with legit pins thanks to the Good seller/Bad seller thread.

Aww you're too sweet, thanks. I think I've seen that pin too, it's really cute and funny and it's perfect because I'm from TX. Don't worry I won't ask your DD for it though lol. Plus I don't have any pins yet that I want to trade. They're all really special to me in there own unique way.

Yeah that would be a really good idea for the pins that I don't want to wear but still want to look at them easily.

Yeah I just found this out too on another thread (forgot which one). Here's the link to the ones they sell on disneystore.com:

I've also seen them on ebay. I'm glad you found your pin! That's funny where you found it though


Some more that I won on ebay and will be getting soon!

I love this one because that's exactly how my dog sits sometimes and also we adopted him so it's double special

This one is also great because I like to read a lot in bed and Stitch looks cute and innocent there.

Finally, I liked this one too because I wanted on with Lilo kissing Stitch (it's a funny image) and also because that's how I get when pretty girls kiss me

 

[masterbret]

yeah i got one where chip and dale are in sailor uniform. and one where there is a mickey wearing african traditional outfit, they are cute, i may get one or two more, depending,

 

[pixiewings71]

Those are the same locking backs you can buy in the parks. Price is about the same as well, I've got a few of mine locked onto my lanyard. I really like them and haven't had any problems with them at all.

 

[Luv2Roam]

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Don't follow my example. I am (finally) putting away pins that have been piling up, and started to realize I have probably a year's worth to stash away.

I have the Stitch Adopt a Pet pin. One of my favorites. Definitely of Stitch.

You are best finding a theme a sticking to it.

When I started collecting I only collected the pins I liked. Problem was, I liked almost all of them.

The locking pin backs work great. I don't use them often. I have one peacock lanyard with PI/CW/AC pins. And those are locked on tight! Someone would have to pry them from my cold dead hands.

Great! I heard that the locking backs aren't a 100% secure but I think I'll pretty safe with them, at least a lot safer than the regular mickey head backs.

LOL thanks for the warning

I was gonna limit myself to 5 before Christmas but now I'm hoping to limit myself to 15

Yes the adopt a pet Stitch is probably my favorite and I got it at a very good price

Yeah ever since Stitch became my new favorite Disney character I knew that I wanted to collect his pins exclusively. And each pin has something to do with my likes, hobbies, and personality. So that keeps my pin searches a little more focused. My DGF is a little more all over the place than I am, she likes Eeyore and Tinker Bell. Right now though she likes the cell phone and flip flop pins and will stick with trying to get those till after Christmas.

Thanks for posting the link! Love those pins you purchased!

No Prob Thank you, I'm really happy with the pins I'm getting and the prices I'm getting them for

Oh I know, my DGF really likes the Tink dressed as Minnie and I really want to get the personalized Stitch playing in the sand for me and the personalized Tinker Bell for DGF. It all just keeps adding up

Let's start a poll as to where he really stops! 25? 50? 75? I go with Buzz Lightyear's slogan.....To infinity and beyond. (based on my experience)
