trading question

[zeniff]

for :
1x firewall
1x pirate couch
1x pirate stool
1x pirate post

would it be good to give 17k for all this?

 

[HopelessMagic]

I've seen firewalls go for just that much or more, so if someone wants 17k for all that, I'd take it.

Only if you give the firewall to me. Then I'll let you share the room with the two boys (one mine, one our friend's).

I think that's about right since all of that appears to be about to be re-released on the 14th when the Pirates pins go on sale in WDW and via mail order.

 

[zeniff]

so you can order these pins vi-mail and get the codes?

 

[SorcererDonald16]

Sort of. There are 10 different pins. Each box costs $14 (plus shipping, if you buy it from mail order) and comes with two pins and two cards. You don't know what the pins or cards are until you open the box. Incidentally, if you don't like what you got, you're stuck; they're all non-returnable (once opened, I believe). So essentially you could buy 5 packs and end up with 10 Stitch/firewall pins and 10 firewall cards, although I would doubt they'd put 2 of the same cards and pins in the same box. But who knows. Looks like all pirate quest is returning, plus 3 new chairs. The VMK pirates pin could very well be different; doesn't make much sense for this one to be named "Pirate Insider Tour Pin." I think it'll still be fairly valuable in VMK though because it could get very, very expensive to try and get one of each by buying the boxes. Not everyone has access to a credit card to order them, either.

Here's the link to the info on the official Disney pin site: VMK Pin Card Collection No one's entirely sure about the bar stool & post either; reason being that appears to be the back of that card, so no one knows if it's more like an attached couch now, or just an individual stool and stick like it used to be. Of course, the things and the pirate prison room could be slightly different than the original pirate items, but it doesn't look like it to me.

I don't think the value of these items will be affected all that much by the release of the pins. To get a set of all 10, you have to pay $70 (plus shipping and/or tax depending upon where are how you buy them). You'll get, on average, one of each item for that price. Most of the VMK prizes are from the old pirate quest or the Kellogg's game (the new ones are the ship chairs). You can buy those on eBay for a lot less than $70. Of course, with the new offerings, you'll get the pins, too. Still, I think few players will shell out the $70+ to get ten pins and cards.
