Pin Trash

A blog run by two roommates who happen to collect Disney Trading Pins.

I went down to visit Cali on vacation, and we went Pin Trading!! My boyfriend also bought the pins in the back when I was striking out on shopping at Disney Springs. Overall, an awesome haul for one day!

My sister went to Disneyland in October and picked these up for me! I finally saw her yesterday and can’t wait to put them on the board!

Got slightly distracted while Christmas shopping oops

My co-worker is awesome and got me two pins that I didn’t have yet on his recent trip to Disney World!

Also, thanks Hot Topic for always having pins for me!

I apparently never posted my pins from my trip to see Cali last month. So here they are! Visiting during the Halloween season means I get lots of awesome pins! My favorite is the countdown to Halloween!

Fantasia’s visiting and that meant Halloween party!!!  I already got the pins I wanted but I grabbed these sweet Hocus Pocus ears!  And then today we went to Epcot for the last showing of Illuminations and did some pin trading.  I finally, finally finally finished last years Not So Scary pin set!  Thank goodness this years’ blind box set isn’t villains and is also ugly.  Last year’s was a bear.  Also I grabbed a really cool Chernabog watch!

It’s that time of year again! Thanks Hot Topic!

GUESS WHO GOT A PHOEBUS PROFILE

Also a Parisian Flynn, two of the new hard-to-find Hidden Mickeys, a Hector for my new Coco collection whoops, the Hades that’s the last I needed in the new lanyard set, an Oogie and a Facilier (!) from the Soda Fountain in California, a really old Not So Scary Hook and an Ursula soda can from a brand new set.

BUT MOSTLY I GOT THE PHOEBUS PROFILE

This may look like I scored big time at Disney World when I visited Cali, but most of these she had waiting for me when I arrived! The two Beauty and the Beast imagineering pins, the Minnie Belle, book smart beauty, the Bone Daddy, Jack burger and ice cream, the Haunted Mansion pin with Goofy and Donald, and the Witch Minnie were all from her! I traded for the Lock, Shock, and Barrel, that really odd Jack face, the new best friend Hidden Mickey with some familiar friends. I also got witch Daisy in a trade, but the new Haunted Mansion pin was given to me by the guy at the Epcot tables just for watching his pins while he went and got himself a drink! I actually bought the Mary Poppins one for myself because she is just too cute!

Here’s what I got while Fantasia was here this week!  The Gaston nametag, the Vulpix, the Rapunzel dress, and the Sora on the Meow Wow were birthday presents.  Everything else was collected around the parks.  I found the Queen of Hearts at the pin tables and Gideon on a pin board at Epcot.  The Cruella and Hook are from the new set of Hidden Mickeys that just got released and the Maleficent is HUGE AND BEAUTIFUL and I found her on a pin board at the trading post.  Actually, I spotted her from across the room while paying for stuff for Fantasia and I frantically tried to signal her to trade for it for me because the people in front of me were paying with pennies.  She was busy making friends with a cast member and not getting what I was trying to tell her and I was terrified someone else was going to trade for this pin.  But she finally came over and I asked her to go get her and now she’s mine!

My buddy at work bought some blind boxes from Hot Topic and gave me this!

[pin-trash]

I traded shifts  with someone and ended up with today off.  So, I went to do a farewell tour of this year’s Festival of the Arts, mostly because I love the Broadway concerts and the lobster bacon macaroni and cheese.  And I ended up having like… the best pin day ever.  EVER.  There’s a Rapunzel from Hong Kong with a cute little Pascal dangle who is backwards in the picture and legit Swarovski crystals.  Someone just gave me a Mad Doctor because they were so impressed that I knew who he was (he’s from one of the first Mickey shorts).  There’s an Honest John from Tokyo, the Rapunzel purse that I’ve been looking for forever, and a new Rapunzel that just came out.  I got the matching Belle and a Jack ice cream for Fantasia, too!

BUT UM MORE IMPORTANTLY.  I got THREE Imagineering pins!!!!!  I never thought I’d see any of these in real life.  But I got the Ratigan profile, which is like… $300 on Ebay.  And Achilles (Phoebus’s horse) and Maximus are really valuable too!  They’re so pretty I can’t even.  And all three are like, limited edition 200.  So I am quite pleased :D

Guess whose going to Disney to see her best friend in April

It’s me. I am. And I am SO EXCITED to see Cali and trade pins!

[pin-trash]

Cali is the absolute best! She got me so many good pins for Christmas, including the Halloween Pin with Lock, Shock, And Barrel! I also picked up the Loki helm at work!

[pin-trash]

I just need a handful more of these, and I’ll have the whole set!

[pin-trash]

Another week, another Epcot haul!  I got the new Oswald latte, a Hades (what a weird character for a winter pin), a neat Madame Mim and how often do you see her, an ancient Wicked Queen, and a Maleficent from the new lanyard set.  And also some Christmas presents for people but I can’t show those yet....
