Will people be lining up for this at DSF?

[VillainousGoof]

I am driving to southern California tomorrow and I am planning on going to DSF for the first time ever on Monday to get the Toys-for-Tots pin and if they still have it the Skippy PTD pin, will I be able to get some if I show up around opening or should I plan on going way earlier and waiting?

"Tis the Seasoning for Giving! Join the efforts of the Marine Corp Reserves and bring in a new, unwrapped toy (valued at $10 or more) starting Mon. Nov. 19st. through Dec. 13th.

This year we have 3 pins for the toy drive.....the first to release is a very Festive Cheshire!"

Oh you are so lucky. If you could pick one up for me I'll gladly pay you for the pin and shipping. I really NEEEEDDDD that pin

 

[dawny]

wow how cool is that! ill be there on the 29th but im sure they will be gone, but i'd be happy to donate to that cause.

I don't think many people would line up for that because it, as nice as it is, isn't one of the monthly DSF releases. I compare it more to a sundae LE pin and a lot of people don't line up for a new one of those (as far as I know) when they first come out.

WELL if you miss it, it is supposed to be like a sundae pin, they bring out the next of the 3 when ches runs out. We will also be gonig probably in december though

Last they were gone in 10 minutes. That's why they have 3 designs this year.

If someone would be willing to get me one I'd gladly send them $10 to but a toy. Remember to bring your receipts, DSF can be sticklers about proving that the gift is at least worth $10.

You are right they still had them the next day

Last year's I picked up right before closing on the first night and they still had more left. They were not gone in 10 minutes.

I got mine after work last year so they lasted at least until the afternoon.

These are smaller pins, about the size of a larger sundae pin.

Just curious, do they have any objection to you just buying a toy right there in the store and giving it for the pin? I mean, it practically _is_ a toy store. But I could see it causing a problem with their own inventory being in the donate pile ('Did someone pay for that, or did it fall in by accident?', etc...)

I believe you can buy something in their store and donate it. If you think about it you're technically buying the pin from them, when you buy a toy from somewhere else they're kind of giving you the pin for free in a way.
