Question about DCL series pins in onboard shops

[Krissy22222]

A few years ago, the onboard shops carried a series of "mystery pins" that could be purchased cheaply if one was making a purchase of other store merchandise. The pins were at the counter and wrapped in black plastic so you couldn't tell what you got until you opened it. Does anyone know if they are still doing this? And if so, what do the current pins look like?

Thank you for the picture! I don't have this series. How many are in the series?

Yep. We got one with a wheel in January. I don't know how many are in series. We have the luck of getting 3 of same 1.

They had the wheel series on the Wonder the first week of March. I think there were 5 pins in the group but we ended up with three Mickey pins from three purchases.

They had a series with life preservers in March of 2016 when we sailed on the Dream. There were 5 pins (I think.) One of the nicest cast members waited on me in the store and when she noticed I was purchasing a few pins, she asked which one I was trying to get. She knew the feel of each one and could accurately tell, from the outline what was what, She helped us to complete the set.

My husband has collected all 4 complete sets since they started making them, with the most recent set purchased in December 2016.
The pins at the top left of the picture attached are not a mystery pin set, but he purchased them on CC (also December 2016)
I have all but the first set as I was less lucky than he was to find a CM who was good at feeling the shapes and figuring out who was who.

In February on the Fantasy, they still had the pins from December. And they actually took them away and could not sell them. I think because it was a SWDAS cruise and they did not want them out there yet?

Thanks for the pics and all the replies! It looks like there are 6 pins in the most recent set, then. We look forward to collecting them.
