I had an amazing May with trips to Aulani, Star Wars Celebration, and Disneyland and bought so many pins, plus all the usual online places.
I found someone to trade for the Scar PALM pin since I missed the initial sale. Another transformation, more cards, and oops Hercules snuck into the villains pic. I think the Maleficent/Aurora artland pin will be for trade.
I went to 1 day of Star Wars Celebration, and it was so much fun! I took a picture with Matt Lanter (voice of Anakin in Clone Wars animated series and in a show I really liked called Timeless) and saw Temuera Morrison (Boba Fett) on the main stage. I bought the Vader jumbo to wear that day; it was from one of the Star Wars Weekends. Other than the alphabet set, I really wanted Grogu and Thrawn, so mission accomplished (although Grogu was sold out by the time I got to the main store so thanks secondary vendor). And here we go with another pin of the month series with the SWGE places to visit.
I only need Drax from the Marvel Kawaii 2nd volume set; found most at SWC. I wasn’t going to collect the hidden mickey/marvel pins, but here we are. Lucky to get good numbers for the Doctor Strange and petals n pals DSSH pins.
It was my 1st time to Aulani, and it was fantastic. This was planned as a relaxing vacation instead of an action one, so stayed at the resort the whole time except for 1 shopping day and went across the street for some food a couple nights. Every day, found chairs facing the ocean and tanned and went in the lazy river. Of course had to get pins to commemorate. They put out a trading board every day at 2 or 3 so was able to get the pins on the right. Also, the CMs laughed at me in the main gift shop since I only wanted the spam musubi and shaved ice wishables and felt every bag to find the right ones.
Another X-Men pin, and it’s part of the pride collection. I like the backer card that goes with all these Os. Had to buy all the rainbow pins.
More WDW50 pins, Rocketeer, Mickey #3, flip flops. I got Flynn lantern, so the rest are for trade. I was able to score the Aladdin fantasy pin.
