I just bougth a lot of cast lanyard pins ... and I was ;looking at the cast lanyard pins that are coming out in 2007 on a pin site. Does anyone know a site that lists which pins are coming out which specific month.
Also I am wondering ... will i see a lot of the pins that came out that month on cast lanyards while I am at disney? Are the ones that just came out and came out the prior month or two easy to find? In general do CM's have a lot of cast lanyard pins to trade?
Also another question ... how does it work with cast members and pins .. i am assuming those pins aren't really theirs but are instead property of disney that they just hold onto as sort of an all over the park attraction? IS that the case - and if so why do they get mad if they are traded cruddy pins ... is it just because then no one wants to trade with them?

These sites list new pins:

I hope you do find new cast lanyard pins! In December we saw few cast lanyard pins, but each day and each park is different.

Also another question ... how does it work with cast members and pins .. i am assuming those pins aren't really theirs but are instead property of disney that they just hold onto as sort of an all over the park attraction? IS that the case - and if so why do they get mad if they are traded cruddy pins ... is it just because then no one wants to trade with them?

It is my understanding that each cast member gets a lanyard with pins at the start of the day---not sure how the pins are chosen to be on each lanyard but when we took the backstage tour underground in Magic Kingdom we saw a room where the cast members could "refresh" their lanyards (really wanted to get into that room!!!)

We never saw any cast member get "mad"---all were amazingly pleasant when politely asked "May I see your pins?" I'm sure they get frustrated when people give them "junk" (or better termed---'less desirable pins') because guests aren't as apt to be as happy to trade for those. We saw a lot of "cuties" on lanyards that we weren't at all interested in but someone else would come along and just love those pins! To each his own!!

Happy trading!! Wish I were going back to trade soon!

OK....I've officially been bitten. I've been TRYING to get some pins for trading this weekend when we head down...but I keep bidding on pins I LIKE...how do i stop?!
Do I just need to bid blindly on a large lot, or just pick a character who is not favorite of mine, so I won't want to keep it?
Because I got two lanyard sets, one stitch set (who I love) and one Americana (which I REALLY love *hoo-rah*) and now my OCD is kicking in, that I can't break up the set...
I'm going mad!
Also, can anyone tell me how much pins go for at the outlets near Disnayland? And do they have a good selection?

so is this auction too good to be true. I was thinking I could just pick out the pins that we wanted 20-30 and sell the rest on ebay?

6 of those are good tradeable pins, two are buttons (the square/rectangular looking ones on the top left). Buttons are not tradeable. Also, the red, white and blue Liberty Bell pin is not tradeable (it *does* say Disney on the back, but it is not really a Disney pin - it was something that the company gave to Cast Members in commemoration of September 11.)

I don't know what to tell you about this group. They are all probably tradeable pins. Most, if not all, come from Europe. I have seen an awful lot of some of these pins on my last few trips including the two that look like clocks with Mickey ears, the oval one and the ones that look like stamps. I cannot say for sure that there is anything wrong with these pins, but it makes me wonder when so many of the same pin show up if they might be scappers (unauthorized pins manufactured illegally by the actual plants that make the real Disney pins).

I guess I would tell you that I would be leary. Anyone else want to take a look and offer an opinion?

Yes this auction is too good to be true. I bought a smaller lot and hated them. The are extremely cheap looking and some of them weren't even metal, more like plastic. I was very embarassed to trade and I had a couple of cm's comment about my cheap pins. I do believe they are scrapper pins.

Epcot Matt,

Thanks again for your help!

Had a wonderful one day trip to the world and my sisters loved their pins. Even bought more themselves (paid full price in the park - yikes!) since half way thru the day they only had keepers on their lanyards. I've got a pic of our take home pins on my TR.

Thanks for your guidance!

That's awesome. I'm glad you had a great time. We're heading down in June so I guess I better start finding some traders now.

Just curious as to who was linking to their own auctions? I assumed all the auctions listed here were auctions folks were looking to bid on. Am I mistaken? Thanks.
