When I served as project manager for Disney Pin Trading, I was often asked by guests which pins they should collect or trade. My best advice for someone starting a Disney pin collection is to pick a certain theme and trade for what you like. For years, we have offered mini-collections that are an easy way to jump start a collection. I spoke with Jeanne Lewis, merchandiser for Disney pins, about some of these new collections arriving in 2013.
“We have new limited edition pin collections coming to Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts next year,†explained Jeanne. “Some pins will be released each month, while others may be released every other month or once each quarter. I like these mini-collections because they have one consistent story. I also like making these pins extra special by adding different elements like stained glass or sculpted metal.â€

Fans at Disneyland will see the next chapter of the “Piece of Disneyland Resort History†collection. For this series, Jeanne acquired costume pieces from the Creative Costuming team from various Audio-Animatronics figures. I like the “it’s a small world†pin that features pieces of the Japanese girl’s obi sash from the attraction’s final scene. Each pin in the series will have an edition size of 1,000.
The “Window to the Magic†collection is also coming to Disneyland Resort. This pin series features scenes from classic Disney animated films where magical things took place by windows. The pins in this series will have edition sizes of 1,000.

For Walt Disney World Resort, there will be a pin-of-the-month collection called “Good Luck / Bad Luck.†This playful collection shows there are two sides to every story – lucky and unlucky. I thought the Flower pin was funny (poor Flower!). The edition size for these pins will be 1,000.

I convinced Jeanne to let me tease two new surprise pin collections for 2013. There will be six different pins in each collection, released at various dates throughout the year. The Walt Disney World Resort collection is called “Remember When†and gives a nod to classic Disney attractions and characters. The Disneyland Resort collection has images of vintage Disney characters in stylized crests. The surprise pins will each have an edition size of 750.
I invite you to keep watching Disney.com/Pins for the latest news about pin releases. Happy trading!
 
I am going to need a Disneyland shopper for the Dumbo Window to the Magic pin. I'm really loving the Remember When pins for WDW. Thankfully, I can get those as soon as the call goes out. I'll also be sending my parents to PTN for the Figment pin...we'll see about the Rapunzel. Those would only be traders, and I don't like sending them to wait in long lines just for traders.

I'm just gonna say right now, if anyone is willing to do a pre-sale/pre-trade for the Rapunzel PTN... Pick me, pick me! ...also, I really like those Good Luck/Bad Luck pins too!
 
+1 Better lay out the waiting in line shoes. How early do people usually line up?

Attention WDW-types:
I will pay for a Rapunzel PTN pin for me and one for you if ypu can secure this for me. Jeez, I don't even know when it's coming out, but I really, really want this pin. u_u
 
Eeeepppp!!! Small world POH!! Yay! But I have to get the first two first!
And TLM I forgot! Would love that one too :)

AHA, "my name is flower.. i don't smell like one!" That one's brilliant! If anybody wouldn't mind picking me up one of those at cost, let me know!
