Goody D, if that were me I would at the least not be shy about putting a bug in the store manager's ear and contacting Disney HQ. People like that is why Disney has to create limits. Buying extra for traders is one thing. Buying the whole lot is another.
If the pins had been on the rack, at least others would have had some chance.
Pure greed on that CM's part. If she were wanting traders, she would have gone for the $4 pins. Look for Ebay auctions in your area. You will soon find that CM. (Not that will do any good.)
Luckily people like that are not THAT common. What would it have hurt to give you one or more pins out of 29?
I was so surprised to find our store had the 3D Mickey and Lenticular Mickey this morning. I had gone in on Wednesday morning and they had no idea what I was talking about. They said they hadn't realized they had these pins, until they had opened the boxes last night.
