Looking to buy pins for trading...before we go

[twinmum]

Hello! My boys (10 yaer old twins) have enjoyed pin trading in the past, but I think they really want to keep everything in the fairly small collections they have built up over our 2 Disney trips. I thought about buying them some pins for their birthday, or as a for our trip. Any ideas on how to purchase some good tradeables to boost their pin collections?

Of course, this may be impacted by the fact that we are in Canada and either it's too expenseive or takes too long to ship. If I wait until we get to Orlando, any suggestions on where to get pins - I know about the spots in the parks and Magic of Disney at DTD. I don't want to spend a fortune...

Thanks!

I would have suggested eBay for pins, but I just got stung (bought a lot of 50 fakes!) and now would never buy pins for trading on that site. Its too risky.

I would buy your boys a couple sets of trading pins when you get to the parks. They come in packs of 5 to 9. It will cost you a bundle, but you'll get real pins and your boys will have lots of fun!

Last month when we went I ordered pins from mousepinsonline.com They have grab bags, and it worked out to like $2 a pin in our bag of 24. It was great service! I had them shipped to our resort. I placed my order on Sept 16th, and my pins were at our resort on Sept 19th when we checked in.

It worked great for us!!!

I bought mine from ebay but I only purchase from Canadian sellers. I bought one lot of 6 pins that cost me, including shipping, around $28. I bought a few others that were about $4 each.
