2015 Pin Releases: Let's help each other know about them.

Someone posted this on Facebook. Looks like the next Little Mermaid Surprise puzzle thing. But not seeing anyone posting it for sale, so I guess it's a leak?

It seems as if the Ariel and Eric designs have been lifted straight from the recent DS Europe release. I can understand why they choose this particular moment but I'd like to see more creativity with this scene.

I agree it could have been executed better, but I gave up trying to collect this set a while ago. :sad:

That pose of them is on all sorts of pins unfortunately.

I'm not exactly thrilled with how this release was handled. As an East coaster who has no option other than to buy from resellers/pick-uppers pre-announcing a surprise release from this set screwed me. I usually get lucky for once and pick up the pin for a fair-ish price in the morning when people are at the release and it's actually a surprise. Announcing it early generated lines and people pre-selling last night and prices were jacked up in many of those cases. Why make it a surprise release if you're going to announce it before hand? That defeats the purpose of a "SURPRISE" release.
 
I'm refusing to buy this pin for the rediculous amounts of money people are charging for it. Not only is it 500 more than any other surprise pin, it was also announced. It should be no more than $25.

I think everyone is in this boat, no matter where they live. Rare is the person who lives so close to the park and has the type of job where they can line-up and get these things exactly as they come out. I'm in California but nowhere near Disneyland. I also have friends who live very close to Disney but could never take off time from work for merchandise releases. Resellers/kind folks who do pick-up requests are the only bet for basically everyone. It's a very challenging to love a popular movie like The Little Mermaid with this reality. I wish us all luck getting this pin for a reasonable deal, trade or cash.

I'm really not surprised. Considering they took "surprise" out of an actual surprise release. Like it's seriously the 60th Diamond pins all over again. Except this time a lower LE pin AND it's Little Mermaid -,-"
 
Just saw these Japan pins via Sarah Brave on Facebook:

From her post: "The Disney Store in Japan got pins!!! But they are different from our usual pins... These are meant to stick out and be put on a bag handle or something. Different, but cool! I bought Snow ^^"

Those are amazing! That Snow one is particularly gorgeous!
 
To all my fellow Alice fans ... I've been at WDW for 2 days now and have asked every CM I got within 10 ft of about the Wonderland Character Connection puzzle pins, and they all look at me like I have 12 heads. I don't think they are being cagey, I think they have no idea these pins are supposed to exist. So we'll have to keep wondering until someone comes up with an answer.
 
Can someone tell a newbie pin person how to get on the flyer list for the new releases at the parks/studio store? I know about the DisneyParksMerchandise website & blog & keeping tabs on that (though it seems a bit slow in coming out)...I also know about the DisneyParksblog, but I've noticed a couple of comments in this forum about the flyers being mailed out.....how do I get onto that list? Or how do I get into the know so I can plan accordingly?

Thanks everyone!

I don't know anything about actual mailers BUT if you like the Disney Studio Store Hollywood Facebook page, they post theirs on there. They already have the Nov 2015 releases flyer on their page.
