Pins in Universal (from a pin Collector

So for all of the you who are trying this for a first time. I want to tell you what I have experience.

The bad news is that there is no pin trading. None. If you are looking for Limited Editions thin and low on the ground, there's not much There are special event pins you can pick up at Mardi Grae, HHN you get the picture.

The good news the pins are really lovely I tend to collect the Harry Potter ones and have a rather large collections. There's a how the grinch stole Christmas one that I kept returning to. One of these days that one is coming home.
The prices tend to be lower. Not alot of the $24.00 dollar or higher ones, unless it's a set.
Also no scrappers, no copies nothing. These are not a hot commodity like Disney so just purchase and enjoy. They are still a small portable souvenir that you can take with you

I am sure someone who will bring up the AP pin badges which are pretty cool as well

I always buy pins and have stayed away when pin trading did happen back in the old ages here

i keep my pin collection at home as I never wear them in the parks

Too easy to lose them if the rubber backing does not hold

I am sure when I pass away, my family will either give my pin collection away or toss them in the trash can
Lol

I have mixed feelings about pin trading but last time I did it it was with young kids and I had a great time. I know that guests do it at Disney so just a head's up. I'm okay with Universal not having it. I don't wear mine too afraid of losing them.
