It is already on Ebay from a seller in Hong Kong :(

It is not supposed to come out yet. As per odpt.com its release date is 04/18. I know some pins are placed on racks early, but one whole month is a bit far fetched.

Did anyone see it in the parks ? Or did this one bite the dust as well ??
 
I want that pin soooo bad. It's probably someone who sells the scrappers. Or the seconds that Disney rejects. Or used the molds and made more. I was sucker to one of those recently. I thought They don't scrap this kind of pin, so I will try it. Learned they don't necessairly scrap anyhing. But like I said they sell the overage, or the rejects ect... My pin was beautiful except the hinge was broken. He refunded me most of my money. I will never buy from HK like that again. There are HK sellers you can find that will go right to the park for you ect... so not saying all HK bad, just most of the ones on Evilbay.
 
Unless this pin was going to be released at Hong Kong Disneyland as well (which I don't think it was)...I think we have another scrapper on our hands. :(

If no one from California or Florida has seen this pin or is selling this pin...and someone from China is...I think we have our answer unfortunately.
 
This is one of the pins I DESPERATELY DESPERATELY want... I was hoping it might get released early while I'm there this weekend, but if it's on ebay and not in the parks then it's being scrappered before it's even out? Curses upon them.
 
such a shame that Disney does not fix this problem AND THEY CAN. Very easily by putting an American manager in the plant in china. My husband deal with china for key cards (like ina hotel) and they counterfiet those also....and we cant use them becuase we have to inspect every plant to make sure their are no child labor laws and such being broken. They try to sneek in counterfiets in batches of 2000,,,usually 1/4 up to 1/3 have to go back.

Anyway i get so pissed becuase i KNOW disney can control this problem by having better staff overseeing the plant. It wouldnt cost them that much. This is why you see less and less pins and PTN's --they just dont wanna bother.

I find that hard to believe Ozzie. If you sent this seller a message via Ebay, you probably alerted him/her to the fact that the pin is not released in Us parks yet. So (s)he must be lying to cover. I find it very hard to believe that there would be a pre-sale out of Hong Kong.
 
They are still there, I can see them. One currently at 6.55 the other a BIN for 14.99 Search 2013 Mother's Day. There is no mention of Brave, Merida or Elinor so if you are searching those words it won't show up.

its not impossible to be done, i know a few sellers that have family and friends buy stuff here and they sell it, and the fact that the market is not flooded with the pin that's a major hit that maybe just maybe your jumping to conclusions.

and i asked what i always ask, (its best to be informed, before we accuse or start a panic) how many do you have on hand and if i win when will you ship?
