Reveal conceal madness!!

Reveal conceal madness!!
Don't ruin my dreams :(

Besides the 100 mickeys pins, some boxes of them were found sometime after the release and they were pit onto cast lanyards instead of sold so really you never know. I prefer to have my hopes of obtaining the three I need including rapunzel, even if that hope is a false one. ;)
 
This might not be the right place to ask (and I'm sorry if this has already been answered, too), but what are our estimates on the editions of these pins? Obviously all the reveal pins and the conceal pins will be around the same edition, and I read somewhere (I don't think it was on DPF) that pin traders estimate around 50-80 Rapunzel chasers exist... what does everyone else think? :)
 
There's another Rapunzel R/C on there, current bid is $830, that ends in 5 days! It was at $810 so I bid $820 and was immediately outbid.

Hey, at least I can say I tried!

That was a topic of discussion while we were in the overnight wristband waiting line for the "DSF Cheshire dressed as"...guestimates were Rapunzel in 1 out of every 20 boxes...so for:
5000 boxes: 500 sets of reveal (500 of each reveal), 475 conceal sets (475 for each conceal) and 250 Rapunzels
2000 boxes: 200 reveal sets, 190 conceal sets and 100 Rapunzels
1000 boxes: 100 reveal sets, 95 conceal sets and 50 Rapunzels.

One guy in line said he found a box that had 2 conceal pouches (no reveal pin) and they were both Rapunzels! He sold both right around the time the pins came out for ~$100 each

This may be more of the actual number. As we discussed and I was checking on Pinpics that Disney although in it for the money does not go out of their way to make "special" sets when they have a style/pattern or mold to do released sets. When Vinylmation pins are released the same number per box and pins in the set do not change. I only ***ume that past and current releases are in the same type of release quantities (Limited Release).

As for that missing pallet/box of pins, I think it is hopeful thinking and to make and release more of the same set, I do not think so. Although it is not a bad idea that a few boxes are still out there in a drawer or in the way back of a back room shelf due to a Cast Member saving them for a "friend" that will come by later but a shift change did not make it happen. When Disney does their inventory, the box(s) will surface and either be put on stage for a guest to buy or opened and what a lucky find on a Cast Members lanyard (100 Mickeys)?

As of now, :hug: :io:keep checking.

I have no interest in the reveal/conceal pins unless they involve Sleeping Beauty somehow, but I've been watching the bidding on the Rapunzel pins since the madness was first posted about on here. I just noticed that the second pin auction ended a short time ago, and the winning bid was even higher than the first one. Also, I went to look at the bidders list. Even though there's no names or IDs shown, of course, the winning bidder for both pins looks to be the same person. Both auctions show y***y (201) at the top! Seems crazy to me that anyone would spend that amount of money on one pin, but for one person to spend that kind of money on two of the same pins? Oh boy!!

Very suspicious.

I am also quite surprised as to how much the ones last night sold for. When they are converted into pound sterling, it's hardly anything! I am hoping the prices will come down at some point...

There's no reason to stop thinking you can't still get these pins even if there are no missing boxes, there are still plenty out there. When they first came out they were all over ebay and I'm sure being that they were sold as a set I'm sure a lot of casual and even non-pin trading people bought them just for a fun day of trading with CMs. Getting these pins may take patience, which I realize is not a word commonly associated with pin trading, but good things come to those who wait. :)
 
Everyone just needs to be patient. One of these days someone is going to go trade at the park and it'll be there first time back at the park in years and they're going to have a lanyard full of them! You just have to wait I've had this scenario happen to me with a couple of my harder to find marquees that I needed
 
I have no choice but to be patient. Though as someone told me, my only chance at getting Rapunzel is if I win the lottery. She's probably right, but I want my (false) hope darn it!

+100 , very wise words :) It's only once you give up all hope that your chance of getting any pin goes to 0%...

Echo, you are an extrodinary trader. You trade for joy and friends and fairness, not for profit and personal gain, that good karma is going to come back to you one day, I really believe that. You never know when someone will remember the kind deed you did for them. Maybe they'll have the Rapunzel chaser and remember you. You just never know. Stay hopeful :)
